This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that the population of Edgeworth - Cameron Park stands at approximately 18,571 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,196 people (13.4%) from the 16,375 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such gains are derived from an ABS estimated resident population of 18,516 as of June 2025 alongside 598 validated new addresses detected following the Census. The local density reaches 1,189 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks evaluated across AreaSearch locations. Outperforming both the Rest of NSW (5.1%) and its broader SA4 region, the district's 13.4% expansion since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional frontrunner in population gains.
Inflow from interstate migration served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 67.2% of recent net additions, though natural increase and overseas arrivals also provided positive momentum. Projections generated by the ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year, are adopted by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 modeling released in 2022 with a 2021 base year. For the years 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories from these series are extended locally. Anticipated demographic patterns point to exceptional expansion placing the locality within the top 10 percent of Australian non-metropolitan areas, with total headcount projected to surge by 9,080 persons to 2041 according to the newest annual ERP figures, denoting an overall rise of 48.6% across the 16 years.

Detail
Over the past 5 financial years, residential building approvals in Edgeworth - Cameron Park have maintained an annual average of about 190 new dwellings, accumulating 951 homes in total. Net population gains have averaged 2.5 new residents per year per completed home between FY-22 and FY-26, highlighting robust underlying demand capable of reinforcing real estate values, with construction costs averaging $377,000 per dwelling in step with regional standards. Concurrently, commercial planning consents totaling $99.7 million have been logged this financial year, underscoring solid business investment in the district. Residential building volumes in Edgeworth - Cameron Park remain elevated relative to the Rest of NSW, tracking 25.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period to preserve healthy purchaser choices while reinforcing local real estate values.
This building intensity significantly exceeds national averages, demonstrating elevated developer confidence across the suburb. Newly approved stock consists of 67.0% detached houses alongside 33.0% townhouses or apartments, delivering a broader selection of medium-density formats that range from family residences to affordable compact dwellings. This shift marks a distinct departure from the established housing stock (currently 93.0% houses), responding to diminishing broadacre land supply, evolving living preferences, and budget constraints. Recording around 120 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-corridor characteristics. Moving toward 2041, forecasts from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate Edgeworth - Cameron Park will absorb an additional 9,025 residents. If residential building activity remains constrained at prevailing levels, future additions to the housing stock may not keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially heightening competition among purchasers and sustaining upward pressure on property prices.

9,908 residents of Edgeworth - Cameron Park are employed, from a labour force of 10,291. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 70.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 15,776, about 85% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Edgeworth - Cameron Park maintains an active, qualified labor pool with a prominent concentration in essential services and an unemployment rate of only 3.7%. Across the area, 9,908 residents are employed as of March 2026, keeping local joblessness 0.4% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, while workforce participation reaches a high 70.8% against 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census returns revealed that 19.9% of workers operated from home, an outcome influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for resident workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Concentration is especially pronounced in health care & social assistance, where local participation tracks at 1.2 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of the resident workforce compared to 5.3% in Regional NSW. A comparison between Census local employment counts and the total resident workforce highlights a relatively modest volume of jobs positioned directly within the immediate community. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026, the local labor pool contracted by 0.4% as total employed persons decreased by 1.8%, elevating the local jobless rate by 1.4 percentage points. Across Regional NSW over the same period, employment fell by 0.9%, the labor force decreased by 0.4%, and unemployment climbed 0.5 percentage points. Broader projections released in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia present an outlook for medium to long-term labor demand. Nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge widely by industry. Weighting these national sectoral outlooks against the employment profile of Edgeworth - Cameron Park suggests local workforce growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized demographic projections).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 598 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,375 at the 2021 Census → 18,571 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
