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
Illawong - Alfords Point has an estimated 10,621 residents, up from 10,554 at the 2021 Census. That puts 1,455 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
Demographic evaluations by AreaSearch place the community of Illawong - Alfords Point at approximately 10,621 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 10,554 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a modest expansion of 67 people (0.6%). This adjustment builds upon the ABS estimated resident population of 10,621 recorded in June 2025 alongside 6 validated new addresses documented following the census benchmark. With 1,454 persons per square kilometer, population density sits above the broader benchmark observed across nationwide locations reviewed by AreaSearch. The post-census gain of 0.6% trails the broader SA3 territory (3.2%) by 2.6 percentage points, reflecting steady underlying demographic fundamentals.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary contributor to these figures, accounting for nearly 70.3% of the total net population increases over recent tracking cycles. SA2 geographic projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia, originally published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting baseline, serve as the core basis for AreaSearch's forward estimates. Wherever specific SA2 local regions lack coverage in this release, NSW State Government SA2 datasets issued in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Cohort-specific expansion trajectories from these source pools are extended across all monitored districts for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Under these demographic modeling rules, the wider community is projected to undergo a gradual contraction of 106 persons by 2041. Even with this top-line reduction, selective expansion is projected within older brackets, most prominently across residents aged 75 to 84, who are forecast to increase by 408 people. Additional cohort breakdowns are outlined in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
30 new dwellings have been approved in Illawong - Alfords Point over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 0.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Illawong - Alfords Point have averaged roughly 6 new dwellings per year, totaling 30 homes approved over the span of 5 financial years from FY-22 through FY-26. In the context of broader population contraction, this volume of construction remains suitably balanced, offering favorable circumstances for prospective purchasers. Meanwhile, estimated building costs for newly authorized dwellings average $635,000, running moderately higher than regional averages and reflecting an emphasis on premium residential construction. On the commercial front, planning records show $1.4 million in approvals throughout the current financial year, underscoring subdued commercial building activity locally.
Building volumes in Illawong - Alfords Point remain modest when measured against Greater Sydney benchmarks, trailing the regional per-capita baseline by 80.0%. Such restrained additions to local housing stock tend to reinforce asset values and bolster demand for existing properties. Construction rates also sit beneath national levels, highlighting the fully developed character of the suburb and hinting at tight municipal planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent building activity has been dedicated exclusively to separate detached houses, reinforcing a low-density suburban landscape oriented toward family purchasers prioritizing land and space. A ratio of approximately 3536 people per dwelling approval reflects a deeply entrenched, mature housing environment. With forward demographic projections anticipating flat to mildly contracting resident numbers, Illawong - Alfords Point is poised to see reduced residential supply strains, generating welcoming conditions for prospective homebuyers.

5,870 residents of Illawong - Alfords Point are employed, from a labour force of 6,021. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 68.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,289, about 78% 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 labour market in Illawong - Alfords Point is characterised by qualified professionals, solid representation in professional services fields, an unemployment rate sitting at only 2.5%, and annual job growth estimated at 0.6%. Employed residents stood at 5,870 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate came in 1.6% lower than the 4.1% tracked across Greater Sydney, with local workforce engagement tracking near the metropolitan participation benchmark of 68.9%. Census records also showed that 45.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though historical pandemic measures should be kept in mind when reviewing remote work figures.
Locally residing personnel are largely employed across education & training, construction, as well as health care & social assistance. Workforce concentration is especially pronounced within construction, where local representation reaches 1.4 times regional levels. Conversely, health care & social assistance engages only 11.5% of working residents, falling below the Greater Sydney proportion of 14.1%. Given the comparison between the Census-tallied workplace employment base and the resident worker count, the predominantly suburban locality generates relatively few employment opportunities within its own borders. Synthesising figures from SALM and the ABS, AreaSearch notes that across the twelve months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 0.6% while the broader labor force rose by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage points decrease in the unemployment rate. In the same timeframe, Greater Sydney experienced employment expansion of 1.9%, labour force growth of 1.9%, and a slight easing of unemployment. Long-range outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce trends relevant to Illawong - Alfords Point. Applying these nationwide sector-specific growth expectations—which forecast overall Australian workforce growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—against the local occupational structure suggests potential employment expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.4% over ten years for local residents, though this baseline weighted calculation is purely illustrative and does not incorporate local demographic forecasts.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,554 at the 2021 Census → 10,621 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.
