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
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the resident count of Lilli Pilli - Port Hacking - Dolans Bay stands at approximately 3,443 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 74 individuals (2.2%) from the 3,369 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 3,437 in June 2025 combined with 6 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting density is 2,711 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top fourth of all Australian territories evaluated. The post-census expansion rate of 2.2% is within 2.8 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (5.0%), indicating healthy local demand.
Most of the recent population growth was driven by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 78.2% of the total gains. Future projections rely on the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets using 2022 as their starting point, supplemented by the 2022 NSW State Government SA2 projections with a 2021 base for any uncovered locations. Age-based expansion projections from these sources are mapped to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the area is expected to experience population expansion slightly below the national median, gaining 405 individuals by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP data, which represents an overall growth of 11.6% across the 16 years.

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. The working-day population is estimated at 2,662, about 77% 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 workforce is highly educated and contains a significant proportion of professionals, maintaining a low unemployment rate of 0.9% and stable overall conditions over the prior year. In March 2026, 1,970 local citizens were employed. The local unemployment rate is 3.2% lower than the 4.1% rate recorded across Greater Sydney, while workforce participation is standard at 71.3% compared to 69.1% across the metropolitan region. Census surveys indicate that a substantial 45.4% of working residents operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, professional & technical, and education & training.
The construction sector is especially prominent, employing residents at 1.6 times the average regional rate. Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented at 11.5% compared to the regional benchmark of 14.1%. Given the difference between the local working population and resident workers in the Census, this residential enclave provides relatively few local jobs. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 0.1% while the labor force grew by 0.4%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9% and labor force expand by 1.9%, with a slight decline in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be modeled using the national industry forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These forecasts project a national job expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these national projections to the local industry mix suggests employment within Lilli Pilli - Port Hacking - Dolans Bay could grow by 6.9% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that excludes local 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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,369 at the 2021 Census → 3,443 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 (128011605). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
