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 data analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Malabar - La Perouse stands at approximately 11,109 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 499 individuals (4.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 10,610 residents. This calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 11,097 in June 2025 alongside 132 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The resulting population density is 1,320 persons per square kilometer, a level exceeding the typical figure recorded across national locations monitored by AreaSearch. Over the last ten years, Malabar - La Perouse has shown steady development with a compound annual growth rate of 0.1%, which is faster than the wider SA3 region.
This population expansion was mostly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 98.3% of the total population growth in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, published in 2024 with a baseline year of 2022. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the area is anticipated to experience population growth above the median for Australian statistical areas, climbing by 1,262 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which represents a total increase of 11.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
297 new dwellings have been approved in Malabar - La Perouse over the past five years, an average of 59 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 17% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, 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
Malabar - La Perouse has averaged approximately 59 residential development approvals annually, representing 297 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 21 approvals have been documented. Since the population declined during the preceding timeframe, housing supply has been sufficient to meet demand, leading to a balanced market with varied options for purchasers, while newly constructed dwellings have an average value of $481,000, pointing to a developer focus on high-end, premium builds. Furthermore, commercial approvals stand at $1.1 million for the current financial year, suggesting a low level of commercial construction.
In comparison to Greater Sydney, the rate of building activity per resident in Malabar - La Perouse is 108.0% higher, offering more opportunities for purchasers. New developments consist of 17.0% free-standing houses and 83.0% semi-detached properties, townhouses, or apartments. This preference for higher density accommodation offers more affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from the historical housing stock (which currently stands at 47.0% houses), indicating a decrease in available development land and reflecting shifting resident preferences and affordability concerns. With roughly 187 people for each dwelling approved, Malabar - La Perouse exhibits indicators of a low density area. Long-term forecasts indicate that Malabar - La Perouse will add 1,250 residents by 2041 (calculated from the latest quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). With current construction trends, the volume of new housing should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially helping population growth exceed current forecasts.

5,094 residents of Malabar - La Perouse are employed, from a labour force of 5,544. Unemployment sits at 8.1%, with participation at 57.5%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 10,044, about 90% 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 resident workforce in Malabar - La Perouse is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent in professional services, an unemployment rate of 8.1%, and an estimated employment increase of 1.5% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 5,094 employed residents, with an unemployment rate 4.0% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, showing potential for labor market improvements, while the participation rate is notably low (57.5% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census records indicate that a high proportion of 46.0% of the working population performed their jobs from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services. Public administration & safety is highly represented, with a local employment share 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, retail trade has a smaller footprint, employing 7.0% of workers compared to 9.3% across the wider region. The relationship between the number of local jobs filled and the resident working population suggests that local employment opportunities are limited. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw a 1.5% rise in employment and a 2.0% expansion of the labor force, which led to a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% increase in employment and a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, accompanied by a slight decrease in unemployment. Projections for national employment from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected future demand in Malabar - La Perouse. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. When applied to the employment composition of Malabar - La Perouse, these industry-specific projections indicate a local job growth of 6.9% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (this represents a direct weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local population 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 — 132 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,610 at the 2021 Census → 11,109 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.
