Chart Color Schemes
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 North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South) is close to 11,272 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 398 individuals (3.7%) from the 10,874 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This growth is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 11,191 plus 62 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,167 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. The area's 3.7% growth rate since the 2021 census was quicker than the SA3 area (2.5%), showing it to be a regional growth leader.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for approximately 91.3% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year from ABS/Geoscience Australia are used by AreaSearch. For any SA2 regions where this data is unavailable, AreaSearch relies on SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. The age group growth rates from these sources are applied to all areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, projections show a drop in the total population, with a loss of 340 persons expected by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected in certain cohorts, particularly the 75 to 84 age bracket, which is expected to rise by 394 people.

Conversely, finance & insurance is underrepresented, employing only 4.9% of the local workforce compared to 7.3% across Greater Sydney.

Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 0.4% and the labour force grow by 1.4%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 1.0 percentage points. This differed from Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labour force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context on prospective demand in North Narrabeen - Warriewood (South). These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local employment structure to project growth trends. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary widely by industry.

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 May 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 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.
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.
