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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Maroubra - North is approximately 10,498 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 708 people (7.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 9,790 people. This shift is calculated using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 10,488 and 63 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Such population numbers result in a density of 5,800 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% of all areas assessed nationwide by AreaSearch and highlighting the high demand for local land.
The 7.2% growth rate in Maroubra - North since the 2021 census outpaced the state average of 7.1%, positioning the locality as a regional leader in expansion. The primary catalyst for these gains was overseas migration, which served as almost the sole driver of population growth in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. In instances where SA2 regions lack this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are utilized instead. The age group growth rates derived from these sources are applied across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the area is anticipated to experience a population rise slightly below the median of all statistical locations assessed by AreaSearch, with an projected increase of 693 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total growth of 6.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
112 new dwellings have been approved in Maroubra - North over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, running ahead of that longer-run average.

Detail
Maroubra - North has averaged approximately 22 new residential approvals each year, with a total of 112 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 26 recorded so far in FY-26. Because an average of 3.4 people moved to the locality for every new home constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local supply remains far behind demand, typically resulting in intense buyer competition and upward pressure on prices, while new properties carry an average construction value of $668,000, showing that developers are focusing on the high-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $14.1 million this financial year, demonstrating consistent investment in local business infrastructure. In comparison to Greater Sydney, Maroubra - North registers 16.0% less building activity per capita, placing it in the 25th percentile of all locations evaluated nationwide, which limits options for buyers and strengthens interest in established homes. This level of activity is also below the national average, reflecting the established nature of the suburb and suggesting the presence of planning restrictions. Recent construction activity consists of 44.0% detached houses and 56.0% medium and high-density housing. The focus on higher density options offers more accessible purchase points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. The area records about 668 people per residential approval, pointing to a well-established property market. Projections indicate that Maroubra - North will add 683 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current development is progressing at a reasonable pace relative to this forecast growth, though purchasers could experience heightened competition as the population rises.

Sydney Metro Eastern Suburbs Extension
A long-term strategic extension of the Sydney Metro network envisioned as a continuation of Metro West eastward from Hunter Street. Identified in the South East Sydney Transport Strategy to 2056, the corridor proposes new underground stations at Zetland (Green Square), Randwick, Maroubra Junction, Maroubra, Malabar, and La Perouse, to be delivered by 2041. The project aims to support high-density urban renewal in the Green Square precinct and reduce pressure on existing light rail and bus corridors.As of 2025-2026, no active planning or funding commitment has been made; the corridor remains marked as future metro subject to further investigation on official NSW Government maps. City of Sydney Council has actively lobbied the NSW Government to accelerate at minimum a Zetland station as part of Stage 1 Metro West.

5,881 residents of Maroubra - North are employed, from a labour force of 6,040. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 68.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,619, about 82% 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 workforce in Maroubra - North is highly qualified, with strong representation in the technology sector, an unemployment rate of only 2.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.0% over the last year. As of March 2026, 5,881 residents are employed, and the local unemployment rate is 1.5% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation matches the Greater Sydney benchmark of 69.1%. Census records show that a high proportion of residents, 49.6%, worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Local resident employment is heavily weighted toward professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The suburb exhibits a clear specialization in professional & technical services, with its employment share reaching 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing has a minimal footprint at 2.9% employment compared to 5.7% across the wider region. The highly residential character of the suburb limits local jobs, as shown by the imbalance between the Census working population and the resident workforce. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12-month period, employment expanded by 2.0% while the total labor force grew by 2.0%, maintaining a stable rate of unemployment. This differed from Greater Sydney, where employment increased by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment decreased slightly. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide additional context for potential future labor demand in Maroubra - North. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment paths. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these sector projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment for Maroubra - North residents will rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.5% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 63 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,790 at the 2021 Census → 10,498 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.
