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.

Sales Detail
Menai - Lucas Heights - Woronora has an estimated 20,917 residents. That puts 626 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 conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Menai - Lucas Heights - Woronora stands at approximately 20,917 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 20,927 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a slight drop of 10 people (virtually no change, with no net percentage shift). This demographic estimate incorporates the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 20,917 alongside 16 validated new addresses registered following the Census. With a population density of 626 persons per square kilometer, the locality affords substantial open space per resident and room for potential future development.
In recent times, population expansion was largely underpinned by overseas migration, which made up roughly 66.7% of total population additions. Projections published in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 base year) by the ABS and Geoscience Australia are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 regions, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government projections (using a 2021 base year) where necessary. Age-specific growth rates derived from these models are further applied across all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Going forward, expansion is projected to sit within the lower quartile of statistical areas nationwide, with the locality expected to add 512 persons by 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, representing an overall increase of 2.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
189 new dwellings have been approved in Menai - Lucas Heights - Woronora over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 37 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 78% 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 building approvals in Menai - Lucas Heights - Woronora have averaged approximately 37 new homes annually, adding up to 189 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Amid recent population contraction, this incoming supply has likely kept pace with housing demand to give purchasers reasonable selection, while an average approved construction value of $570,000—surpassing the broader regional standard—points toward higher-quality residential projects. Furthermore, the recording of $10.0 million in commercial building approvals throughout this financial year underlines ongoing investment within the local business sector. On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Menai - Lucas Heights - Woronora run at approximately two-thirds the level observed across Greater Sydney, placing the district in the 9th percentile across the country and indicating tighter purchasing choices alongside heightened demand for existing properties.
This below-average national volume reflects both the established character of the area and potential planning constraints. Composition of new construction heavily favors low-density formats, comprising 78.0% detached houses and 22.0% townhouses or apartments, which appeals to buyers pursuing spacious suburban living. A ratio of 1922 people per residential approval emphasizes the subdued pace of local building activity. Demographic forecasts indicate that Menai - Lucas Heights - Woronora will expand by 512 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. If building activity maintains its current pace, incoming residential stock should easily accommodate this growth, creating favorable market conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion above existing demographic projections.

Concentration is notably prominent in education & training, where local representation stands at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector accounts for a smaller footprint locally at 9.3% compared to 11.5% across the wider region. Comparing the resident worker headcount to the number of Census jobs within the boundary indicates that local employment opportunities remain limited. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures shows that in the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.1% while the labour force expanded by 0.4%, leading to an increase in unemployment of 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney, by comparison, employment grew by 1.9% and the labour force increased by 1.9%, alongside a slight decrease. Additional guidance regarding forward demand in Menai - Lucas Heights - Woronora is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons.

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 — 16 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,927 at the 2021 Census → 20,917 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.
