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.

Sales Detail
Edmondson Park has an estimated 18,175 residents, up from 12,080 at the 2021 Census — a change of 6,095 people, or 50.5%. Growth has averaged 13.1% a year over five years, faster than 97% of areas nationally. 1,010 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 69.7% of that increase. That puts 2,999 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population size of Edmondson Park stands at approximately 18,175 in May 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census registry of 12,080 individuals, this represents an expansion of 6,095 people (50.5%). This calculation is derived from the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 18,039 combined with 1,010 validated new addresses registered since the census. The community has a density of 2,999 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the top quartile of all nationwide territories analyzed by AreaSearch. The expansion rate of 50.5% since the 2021 census outpaces the state average of 7.1% and the broader Greater Sydney region, highlighting the suburb as a major local growth hub.
This demographic surge was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 69.7% of the total population increase during the recent timeframe, although natural increase and international arrivals also made positive contributions. For demographic forecasting, AreaSearch uses data from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In instances where these profiles are unavailable for a specific SA2, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. The age bracket growth trajectories from these sources are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated shifts, the locality is set to experience exceptional expansion, ranking in the top 10 percent of all statistical zones in Australia. The region is forecast to add 9,077 persons by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP figures, which translates to a total increase of 49.2% over a 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,772 new dwellings have been approved in Edmondson Park over the past five years, an average of 354 a year. That places the area in the 100th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 261 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 87, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
The locality registers a yearly average of approximately 354 residential building approvals, representing 1,772 homes built over the previous 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 80 approvals have been documented so far. With an average influx of 4.7 new residents per year for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, demand remains ahead of local supply, which tends to escalate pricing and intensify buyer competition. Newly constructed properties carry an average building cost of $283,000, which is below the regional benchmark and represents affordable options for purchasers. Additionally, local commercial approvals have reached $64.4 million this financial year, indicating robust commercial development.
Compared to the Greater Sydney average, the volume of residential approvals per capita in Edmondson Park is 275.0% higher, offering more options for prospective buyers despite a recent slowdown in construction. This rate is far higher than the national norm, illustrating strong interest from developers. Recent approvals consist of 29.0% detached houses and 71.0% attached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density building styles offers affordable entry points for first-time buyers, investors, and downsizers. This is a clear shift from the current housing composition of 84.0% houses, showing that vacant building land is becoming scarce while highlighting a shift toward diverse, affordable housing. There are roughly 114 people for each approved residential dwelling, pointing to a growing market. Projections indicate that the population of Edmondson Park will expand by 8,940 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimation. Assuming current construction volumes persist, housing supply is expected to satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer dynamics and potentially supporting growth that outpaces official forecasts.

10,910 residents of Edmondson Park are employed, from a labour force of 11,091. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 80.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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 13,643, about 75% 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
The local labor pool is highly educated, featuring significant representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of only 1.6%, and estimated annual employment growth of 5.1%. As of March 2026, there are 10,910 working residents. The unemployment rate is 2.5% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and the participation rate is high at 80.5% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 42.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. The dominant employment fields for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical services.
Healthcare & social assistance is a key specialization, representing 1.3 times the regional concentration. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented locally at 8.8% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Given the gap between the local working population and resident workforce counts, this residential area offers limited local jobs. Based on SALM and ABS statistics analyzed by AreaSearch, employment grew by 5.1% and the labor force expanded by 5.0% in the 12 months leading to March 2026, with unemployment levels remaining stable. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9% and the labor force grow by 1.9%, alongside a slight decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia projections from May-25 offer additional context on future labor needs. These five and ten-year forecasts are applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment shifts. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Extrapolating these patterns based on local industry shares suggests employment in Edmondson Park could rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, assuming local population shifts are not factored in.

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 — 1,010 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,080 at the 2021 Census → 18,175 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 May 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (127031730). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
