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.

South Wentworthville has an estimated 7,697 residents, up from 7,305 at the 2021 Census — a change of 392 people, or 5.4%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 61.6% of that increase. That puts 4,349 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 AreaSearch's evaluation, the population of South Wentworthville stands at approximately 7,697 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 392 residents (5.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 7,305 individuals. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 7,691 from June 2025 alongside 62 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 4,348 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of all areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch and highlighting the strong demand for local land.
The area's post-census growth of 5.4% is within 1.7 percentage points of the state average (7.1%), reflecting solid competitive expansion. This upward trend was largely fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 61.6% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories not represented in this dataset, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. The age group growth rates derived from these sources are extended to all regions for the span from 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, the area is projected to experience a population rise slightly below the national median, gaining 762 individuals by 2041 when measured against the latest annual ERP statistics, which translates to a total increase of 9.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
284 new dwellings have been approved in South Wentworthville over the past five years, an average of 56 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 26% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 51, 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 56 new residential approvals have been registered annually in South Wentworthville, totaling 284 dwellings over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 47 during FY-26 so far. With an average of 1.2 additional inhabitants per new dwelling over those 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), local demand aligns well with incoming supply, supporting balanced market conditions. Additionally, new homes are being built with an average construction cost of $224,000, which sits below the wider regional average and indicates more budget-friendly construction options for prospective buyers.
Per capita development rates in South Wentworthville are comparable to those in Greater Sydney, keeping the local market in equilibrium with the broader region despite a recent slowdown in building starts. Recent construction figures show that detached houses account for 26.0% of activity, whereas townhouses and apartments make up 74.0%. This orientation toward high-density housing provides affordable options for buyers entering the market, downsizers, and investors. This represents a notable departure from the existing housing stock (which stands at 62.0% houses), pointing to a shortage of available development plots and responding to changing preferences and affordability considerations. Calculated at roughly 255 people for each dwelling approval, South Wentworthville exhibits the spatial features of a low density area. Demographic projections estimate that South Wentworthville will add 756 new inhabitants by 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figure. Given current building trends, the incoming supply of housing is expected to comfortably accommodate this growth, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current estimates.

3,643 residents of South Wentworthville are employed, from a labour force of 3,948. Unemployment sits at 7.7%, with participation at 63.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,022, about 78% 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 workforce in South Wentworthville is highly educated, featuring a notable concentration of professional services, an unemployment rate of 7.7%, and an estimated job growth of 3.7% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,643, while the unemployment rate was 3.6% higher than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%, pointing to potential areas of improvement. Additionally, the labor participation rate of 63.7% is below the Greater Sydney average of 69.1%. Census data indicates that 38.3% of workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The local representation in construction is particularly strong, standing at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are less common, employing 7.5% of residents compared to 11.5% across the broader region. The heavily residential character of the neighborhood suggests that local employment opportunities are limited, as indicated by the comparison between the resident workforce and the local job count. Based on AreaSearch's review of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw local employment grow by 3.7% and the labor force expand by 3.3%, which led to a 0.4 percentage point reduction in unemployment. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a minor drop in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected demand patterns in South Wentworthville. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific rates to the local employment distribution suggests that South Wentworthville's workforce will grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local population dynamics.

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 (7,305 at the 2021 Census → 7,697 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.
