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
As of Aug 2026, the population of North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South) stands at approximately 11,272 according to AreaSearch research. Compared to the 10,874 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a gain of 398 people (3.7%). This population movement is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 11,191 in June 2025 alongside 62 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 2,167 persons per square kilometer, the local population density exceeds the nationwide benchmark across areas analyzed by AreaSearch. Moreover, the 3.7% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outpaced the wider SA3 region (2.5%), establishing the locality as a regional growth outperformer.
In recent times, demographic expansion was predominantly fueled by overseas migration, which made up around 91.3% of the total population additions. SA2 geographic projections used by AreaSearch stem from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as its baseline, complemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling (with 2021 baseline) where coverage is absent. These combined age-specific trajectories are similarly utilized across all territories for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Under these forward-looking estimates, North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South) is projected to experience a net population decline of 391 persons by 2041. Despite the overall downward trajectory, particular demographic segments are set to expand, prominently the 75 to 84 age cohort, which is forecast to gain 382 people.

6,404 residents of North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South) are employed, from a labour force of 6,637. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 73.0%. 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 9,814, about 87% 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 resident workforce in North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South) is highly qualified and displays significant professional services representation, registering a low 3.5% unemployment rate alongside steady year-on-year employment patterns. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,404, while joblessness sat 0.6% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Labor force participation stood at a solid 73.0% (compared to 68.9% in Greater Sydney). Census figures highlighted that 44.5% of working residents operated from home, though this metric was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services.
Construction represents a major local specialization, engaging a workforce share 1.5 times greater than the regional benchmark. Conversely, finance & insurance accounts for only 4.9% of resident workers, trailing Greater Sydney's 7.3%. Comparing the resident workforce count to local Census workplace figures indicates that internal employment capacity within this primarily suburban precinct is relatively modest. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures indicates that employment levels rose by 0.4% and the labour force grew by 1.4% during the year to March 2026, which led to an increase in unemployment of 1.0 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, labour force expansion of 1.9%, and a slight decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South). These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trends. National employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though growth varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to the employment mix of North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South), local employment is expected to increase by 6.9% over five years and by 13.9% over ten years, although this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised population 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 — 62 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,874 at the 2021 Census → 11,272 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (122021691). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
