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.

Mascot has an estimated 22,874 residents, up from 21,573 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,301 people, or 6.0%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 80.1% of that increase. That puts 7,500 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
According to research by AreaSearch, Mascot records an estimated population of approximately 22,874 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,301 residents (6.0%) from the 21,573 individuals tallied during the 2021 Census. This demographic shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 22,859 combined with post-Census address validation data. Mascot's population density reaches 7,499 persons per square kilometer, placing it among the top 10% nationwide in AreaSearch assessments and underscoring intense local land demand. Over the previous ten years, the suburb has maintained solid demographic momentum with a 5.1% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the wider SA3 territory.
Inbound overseas migration has been the primary growth engine, driving roughly 80.1% of recent net population additions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures, with unlisted localities drawing from 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts based on 2021 numbers. For the 2032 to 2041 timeframe, cohort-specific age trajectories from these datasets are applied across all districts. Local forward estimates point toward above median population growth relative to Australian statistical divisions, with expectations of adding 4,875 persons by 2041 based on recent annual ERP counts, generating an aggregate rise of 21.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
192 new dwellings have been approved in Mascot over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That places the area in the 72nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 21% 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
Residential construction approvals in Mascot have averaged roughly 38 dwellings annually, amounting to 192 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the area added an average of 11.1 new residents per year for every home built over those 5 financial years, creating an environment where demand substantially outpaces building activity and drives competitive upward pressure on local home prices. Expected building costs for newly approved homes average $582,000, exceeding regional standards and demonstrating an emphasis on premium residential stock. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $73.4 million during this financial year, reflecting substantial capital expenditure by local enterprise.
Per capita building approval volume in Mascot sits 78.0% below the Greater Sydney average. Although residential building activity has shown recent improvement, this overall supply constraint tends to heighten buyer interest and strengthen asset values across the secondary residential market. Development rates also remain subdued relative to the national baseline, reflecting geographic maturity and potential physical planning constraints. Approved residential projects consist of 21.0% detached dwellings alongside 79.0% medium and high-density housing options. This strong emphasis on higher-density housing provides more accessible price thresholds appealing to entry-level purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. A ratio of approximately 859 people per approval characterizes Mascot as a fully established urban market. According to the latest quarterly population projections from AreaSearch, Mascot is anticipated to add 4,860 residents through to 2041. If future building activity fails to accelerate beyond current levels, new residential supply may struggle to match demographic growth, reinforcing market competition and bolstering property values.

14,156 residents of Mascot are employed, from a labour force of 14,544. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 71.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 26,408, about 115% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Mascot possesses a highly skilled local talent pool characterized by strong engagement in professional services, an exceptionally low 2.7% unemployment rate, and a 1.2% rise in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 14,156, with the local jobless rate tracking 1.5% below Greater Sydney's 4.1% benchmark. Workforce participation remains sound at 71.8%, outperforming the Greater Sydney level of 68.9%. Census records indicate that 42.9% of local workers performed their duties from home, though this figure reflects prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment sectors for local workers comprise professional & technical services, accommodation & food, and retail trade.
The workforce displays an especially prominent skew toward accommodation & food, employing staff at 1.9 times the broader metropolitan proportion. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for a comparatively modest 8.9% share of local employment versus 14.1% regionally. With 0.9 workers per resident recorded at the Census, the local economy offers extensive employment capacity. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics shows a 12-month employment expansion of 1.2% alongside a 0.9% rise in the total labour force, driving down the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment grew by 1.9%, the labour force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment declined marginally. Future employment prospects can be evaluated through national employment projections released in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia. These ten-year and five-year forecasts have been applied across Mascot's industry profile to project local hiring trends. Nationally, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industry trajectories vary considerably. Modeling these sector-specific forecasts against Mascot's current workforce composition indicates local employment expansion of 6.7% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (as an unweighted industry projection presented for comparative context, excluding local population adjustments).

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (21,573 at the 2021 Census → 22,874 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.
