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 AreaSearch's findings, the population of St Johns Park - Wakeley stands at approximately 11,224 as of May 2026. This figure represents a rise of 27 individuals, or 0.2%, compared to the 2021 Census count of 11,197 residents. The adjustment derives from the ABS estimated resident population of 11,224 recorded as of June 2025, combined with 17 newly validated addresses added after the Census date. With a density ratio of 3,109 persons per square kilometer, the area ranks in the upper quartile among national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. The 0.2% growth since the census places St Johns Park - Wakeley within 1.8 percentage points of the SA3 region, which experienced 2.0% growth, indicating strong growth fundamentals.
Recent population expansion has been largely attributed to overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 91.5% of the total population increase in recent periods. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, are utilized for each SA2 area. In cases where this data is unavailable, the 2022 release from the NSW State Government based on 2021 figures is applied. Age cohort growth rates from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest an overall reduction in residency, with the population set to contract by 125 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, expansion is anticipated in particular age categories, led by residents aged 85 and over, who are forecast to increase by 427 individuals. Detailed breakdown is available in the age analysis section.

Detail
Residential building consents in St Johns Park - Wakeley run at approximately 26 new dwellings annually, accumulating to 133 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 23 approvals have been documented. Despite the local population reduction, the housing market remains balanced with adequate supply meeting demand, ensuring favorable purchasing options. The average construction cost for these new builds is $189,000, which falls below regional averages and highlights more affordable options. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $6.8 million this financial year, reflecting a modest focus on non-residential development.
St Johns Park - Wakeley registers roughly half the rate of new residential approvals per capita compared to Greater Sydney, ranking in the 31st percentile among all Australian locations, which limits choices for buyers and channels demand toward established properties. This building rate is also lower than the national benchmark, pointing to the mature layout of the suburb and potential planning constraints. Detached houses constitute 95.0% of the new construction, while medium and high-density dwellings make up the remaining 5.0%, preserving the traditional low-density suburban aesthetic favored by families. With a ratio of 545 people per approval, the local property market shows clear signs of maturity. Given the demographic projections pointing to a stable or shrinking population, housing demand in St Johns Park - Wakeley is expected to ease, potentially offering advantageous conditions for prospective buyers.

4,875 residents of St Johns Park - Wakeley are employed, from a labour force of 5,131. Unemployment sits at 5.0%, with participation at 54.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,411, about 84% 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 is characterized by diverse industry representation, an unemployment rate of 5.0%, and a 5.5% expansion in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, working residents total 4,875, with the local unemployment level sitting 0.9% higher than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%. Workforce participation is low at 54.1% in comparison to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records indicate that 32.6% of the working population operated from home, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade.
The region exhibits a distinct concentration in manufacturing, where employment is 2.0 times the regional average. In contrast, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, employing 6.5% of the workforce compared to 11.5% across the region. The comparison between the Census working population and resident counts suggests that local employment opportunities within this largely residential area are limited. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the latest 12-month window witnessed a 5.5% rise in employment alongside a 5.0% expansion of the labor force, leading to a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment and a 1.9% increase in the labor force, with a marginal drop in unemployment. The national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will perform differently. Applying these industry projections to the local mix suggests St Johns Park - Wakeley's employment will rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation that excludes localized 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 — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,197 at the 2021 Census → 11,224 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.
