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
South Coogee has an estimated 5,743 residents, up from 5,611 at the 2021 Census — a change of 132 people, or 2.4%. That puts 5,082 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of South Coogee stands at approximately 5,743 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 132 individuals (2.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 5,611 residents. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 5,741 from June 2025 combined with 3 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 5,082 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of all evaluated national areas and highlighting the high demand for local land.
The growth in population was primarily driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 96.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch incorporates the 2022 NSW State Government projections which use 2021 as their baseline. Age cohort growth rates from these datasets are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transitions, population growth is anticipated to run slightly below the national median for statistical areas, with a projected increase of 448 people by 2041 using the latest annual ERP data, representing a total gain of 7.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
64 new dwellings have been approved in South Coogee over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An average of approximately 12 new home approvals have been logged annually in South Coogee, amounting to 64 residential properties over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 9 approvals have been recorded. Because the locality has seen a shrinking population, residential supply has kept pace with demand, resulting in an equilibrium with choice for purchasers, while new projects average a construction value of $695,000, indicating that developers are targeting the high-end sector with premium builds. South Coogee registers 15.0% less new construction per resident than Greater Sydney, placing it in the 36th percentile of locations analyzed across the country, which limits options for buyers and increases interest in established homes.
This level also falls below the national average, pointing to the mature state of the area and potential planning constraints. Dwellings recently approved consist of 40.0% houses and 60.0% medium and high-density builds. This focus on higher density provides affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. The area has approximately 528 people per dwelling approval, which is characteristic of an established neighborhood. Looking forward, the population of South Coogee is projected to rise by 446 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The pace of construction remains aligned with this forecasted growth, though buyers might face heightened competition as the number of residents climbs.

2,685 residents of South Coogee are employed, from a labour force of 3,022. Unemployment sits at 11.2%, with participation at 63.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,561, about 79% 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 workforce in South Coogee is highly qualified, with notable representation in the technology industry, an unemployment rate of 11.2%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.3% over the prior year. By March 2026, 2,685 local residents were employed, while the unemployment rate was 7.0% higher than the 4.1% recorded in Greater Sydney, indicating potential for improvement, and labor participation rates remain low at 63.6% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a high proportion of 54.8% of workers performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
Resident employment is clustered within health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The neighborhood displays a distinct concentration in public administration & safety, where employment levels reach 1.4 times the regional average. In contrast, manufacturing has a lower footprint at 2.7% compared to the regional average of 5.7%. The area is predominantly residential and appears to provide few local employment options, as shown by the comparison between the Census working population and resident population. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data indicates that during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 1.3% while the labor force expanded by 1.9%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. This contrasts with Greater Sydney, which saw employment grow by 1.9%, the labor force expand by 1.9%, and unemployment drop slightly. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional context on future demand in South Coogee. These five and ten-year projections are mapped against the local employment makeup to project growth trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment structure of South Coogee indicates that local employment should grow by 7.3% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,611 at the 2021 Census → 5,743 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 (118021654). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
