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
Silverwater - Newington has an estimated 9,305 residents, up from 9,246 at the 2021 Census. That puts 2,368 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 resident count of Silverwater - Newington stands at roughly 9,305 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 9,246 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a net addition of 59 people (0.6%). This demographic update incorporates the ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,305 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 24 validated new addresses registered following the Census benchmark. With 2,367 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density sits within the top quartile among all nationally evaluated locations by AreaSearch. Inflow from overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 75.9% of total demographic additions over recent cycles.
Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as their starting point are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For territories omitted from that release, SA2 modelling published by the NSW State Government in 2022 from a 2021 base is adopted instead. Between 2032 and 2041, cohort-specific age expansion rates derived from these sets are applied uniformly. Looking ahead, local demographic expansion is expected to track higher than the median across Australian statistical areas, with expectations of adding 1,279 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP baselines, yielding an aggregate gain of 13.8% across the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
30 new dwellings have been approved in Silverwater - Newington over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 0.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. 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 Silverwater - Newington have tracked at roughly 6 new dwellings annually, totaling 30 residences across the last 5 financial years (from FY-22 through FY-26). Because local resident counts contracted in the preceding interval, this incoming volume has generally satisfied housing requirements, sustaining healthy buyer selection. Meanwhile, approved residential builds have registered an average construction value of $452,000, aligning with regional averages. Alongside this, $2.2 million in commercial building permits was recorded throughout the current financial year, highlighting the locality's predominantly residential character. Relative to Greater Sydney, building activity across Silverwater - Newington is markedly subdued, tracking 92.0% under the broader per-capita regional benchmark.
This constrained supply pipeline typically underpins pricing and interest for existing housing stock, despite some recent pick-up in building works. Approval volumes are similarly below national averages, reflecting an established suburban landscape alongside likely regulatory planning constraints. Dwellings approved recently consist of 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% medium-to-high density formats such as apartments and townhouses. Such focus on higher density offers entry points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. With approximately 1395 residents per residential consent, the area exhibits characteristics of a mature community. Based on recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Silverwater - Newington is set to expand by 1,279 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing supply could fall short of resident inflows, heightening market competition and fueling upward pressure on home values.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,557, about 146% 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
The local workforce in Silverwater - Newington is characterized by high levels of qualification, prominent representation in professional roles, an unemployment rate of only 2.2%, and an estimated 3.8% annual rise in total employment. By March 2026, 4,996 residents were actively employed, while local joblessness remained 1.9% lower than the 4.1% seen across Greater Sydney. Labor participation settled slightly below regional standards at 65.3%, against 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census findings indicated that 51.0% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. Wholesale trade shows notable concentration within the district, capturing a local share 1.4 times greater than the broader regional standard. Conversely, construction engages a lower proportion of workers, representing 6.3% of the resident workforce compared to 8.6% across Greater Sydney. Recording 1.5 jobs for each resident at the Census, the precinct acts as a major commercial center, drawing in commuter workers and sustaining more local positions than residing laborers. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures by AreaSearch reveals that during the year leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 3.8% alongside a 3.3% rise in the labor force, reducing the unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment climbed by 1.9%, labor supply grew by 1.9%, and joblessness experienced a slight reduction. Medium and long-term outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia published in Mar-26 provide additional context on prospective workforce requirements for Silverwater - Newington. Over broader national horizons, total employment is projected to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, although specific industry trajectories vary considerably. Modeling these sector forecasts against the occupational distribution of Silverwater - Newington indicates local employment could grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% across ten years (this represents a baseline weighting exercise for context and excludes local population changes).

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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,246 at the 2021 Census → 9,305 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 (125011709). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
