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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Rosebery - Beaconsfield is estimated at 13,993 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,703 individuals (13.9%) compared to the 12,290 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,993 plus 228 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. With a density of 8,532 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the top 10% of all areas assessed nationwide, indicating high land demand. The growth rate of 13.9% since the 2021 census outperformed both the state (7.1%) and Greater Sydney, establishing the area as a regional growth leader.
This population expansion was mostly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 76.5% of total gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Cohort-specific growth rates derived from these sources are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on expected demographic trends, the area is anticipated to register population growth above the national median, increasing by 2,633 persons by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP numbers, which represents a total increase of 18.8% over the 16 years.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years.

Detail
The local workforce in Rosebery - Beaconsfield is highly educated, with substantial representation in the technology sector, an unemployment rate of only 1.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.2% over the last year. Employed residents numbered 8,926 as of March 2026, while the unemployment rate was 2.7% lower than the 4.1% rate in Greater Sydney. Workforce participation was recorded at 72.7%, compared to 69.1% for Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 54.6% of residents worked from home, although this figure may be influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance.
Professional & technical services show a strong concentration, with local representation reaching 1.4 times the regional proportion. In contrast, health care & social assistance is underrepresented at 10.3% compared to 14.1% regionally. Although local employment is available, the ratio of Census working population to local residents suggests a significant portion of the workforce travels outside the area for employment. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the year ending March 2026, employment grew by 1.2% and the labor force expanded by 0.9%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a slight decline in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future employment trends in Rosebery - Beaconsfield. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary across different sectors. Applying these projections to the employment profile of Rosebery - Beaconsfield indicates a local employment increase of 7.1% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 228 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,290 at the 2021 Census → 13,993 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 (117031643). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
