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 assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Leichhardt stands at roughly 18,361 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 829 people (4.7%) compared to the 17,532 people recorded during the 2021 Census. Such growth is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 18,357 as of June 2025 alongside 228 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. Consequently, the local population density reaches 6,161 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the top 10% of areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch and highlighting the intense competition for local land.
The suburb's 4.7% rate of expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 area (4.1%), establishing it as a regional frontrunner in population growth. Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 67.9% of total recent population increases. Projections for each SA2 area produced by the ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the base year, are adopted by AreaSearch. For SA2 territories not captured in that release, AreaSearch incorporates NSW State Government SA2 projections issued in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline. Cohort-specific growth trajectories from these datasets are likewise applied across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking toward long-term demographic patterns, future expansion is projected to sit slightly below the national statistical area median, with the locality forecast to add 1,459 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 7.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
132 new dwellings have been approved in Leichhardt over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 58% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential approvals in Leichhardt have averaged approximately 26 dwellings, culminating in 132 homes across the past 5 financial years. With 2.8 new residents added per built dwelling on average over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), underlying demand remains robust, helping sustain real estate values. Furthermore, incoming residential builds carry an average construction cost of $659,000, underscoring building activity tailored toward higher-end developments. In addition, $1.5 million in commercial building approvals have been logged during this financial year, emphasizing the predominantly domestic character of the locality.
Per capita construction activity in Leichhardt runs at approximately 75% of the rate observed across Greater Sydney, positioning it within the 21st percentile nationally, which limits incoming supply and directs demand toward the established dwelling market. This below-average volume also falls short of the nationwide benchmark, reflecting the established urban fabric and prospective zoning constraints. Recent residential building permits comprise 58.0% detached houses and 42.0% attached dwellings, generating a diversified residential stock spanning different market segments, ranging from expansive standalone dwellings to more accessible medium-density options. Interestingly, the proportion of single-family homes approved exceeds the existing baseline (39.0% at Census), revealing persistent demand for family residences despite urban consolidation trends. With roughly 685 people per dwelling approval, the market exhibits high maturity. Forecasts show Leichhardt gaining 1,455 residents through to 2041 (derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures). If residential building volumes continue at current paces, dwelling completions could trail population expansion, potentially tightening market conditions and providing upward pressure on property values.

11,223 residents of Leichhardt are employed, from a labour force of 11,720. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 76.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 Leichhardt is characterized by high levels of education, substantial representation across the technology sector, and a local jobless rate of 4.2%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 11,223, while unemployment sits 0.1% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, and the local participation rate reaches an elevated 76.7% versus 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records reveal that 62.3% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, alongside education & training.
Professional & technical roles demonstrate exceptional density locally, tracking at 1.5 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, the construction industry accounts for only 5.7% of the resident workforce, trailing the Greater Sydney level of 8.6%. Although employment options are present locally, comparisons between Census resident worker counts and local job numbers indicate that a considerable portion of workers travel out of the area for employment. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures indicate that over the year to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 1.6% alongside a 1.7% drop in employed persons, nudging the unemployment rate upward by 0.1 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney generated employment gains of 1.9% and workforce growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decline in joblessness. Further perspectives on medium-term labour demand across Leichhardt can be drawn from national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26. Projected national workforce expansions of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years vary considerably across specific industries when mapped onto the local occupational profile. Applying these sector weights indicates potential local job growth of 7.3% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (noting this calculation represents a simple weighting model for illustrative purposes and excludes localized population modeling).

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 — 228 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,532 at the 2021 Census → 18,361 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (120021675). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
