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 calculations by AreaSearch, the population of St Leonards - Naremburn stands at approximately 13,844 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,941 people (16.3%) from the 11,903 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,802 combined with 912 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The population density has reached 5,015 persons per square kilometer, placing the location within the highest 10% of areas evaluated across the country, indicating that local land is in extremely high demand.
The 16.3% expansion rate recorded in St Leonards - Naremburn since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA4 region (5.9%) and the state, establishing it as a regional growth leader. The expansion was primarily fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 69.1% of the overall population rise, although natural increase and interstate migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch is applying ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is using the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. As we examine future population trends, a significant population increase in the top quartile of national statistical areas is forecast, with the area expected to grow by 5,220 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting recording a gain of 37.4% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
243 new dwellings have been approved in St Leonards - Naremburn over the past five years, an average of 48 a year. That places the area in the 72nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 8% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
On average, St Leonards - Naremburn registers approximately 48 new residential approvals annually, with a total of 243 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 12 approvals have been documented. Since an average of 7.4 new occupants arrived for every finished dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand remains far ahead of incoming supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new builds carry an average construction value of $371,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $375.7 million this financial year, indicating substantial corporate investment in the local economy.
St Leonards - Naremburn exhibits roughly two-thirds the volume of new home approvals per capita compared to Greater Sydney, ranking in the 41st percentile of locations monitored across the nation, which limits choice for buyers and sustains interest in established properties. High-density structures represent 92.0% of new projects, consisting of apartments and townhouses, while detached houses make up the remaining 8.0%. This emphasis on compact housing designs offers accessible price points for buyers and draws interest from investors, downsizers, and first-time homeowners. Representing a highly established real estate market, St Leonards - Naremburn has approximately 1096 people for each dwelling approval. Projections indicate that St Leonards - Naremburn will gain 5,178 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If residential development continues at its historical pace, the volume of new housing may not keep pace with population growth, potentially intensifying competition among buyers and upward pressure on property prices.

9,025 residents of St Leonards - Naremburn are employed, from a labour force of 9,292. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 77.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 29,207, about 2.1 times 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
St Leonards - Naremburn has a workforce characterized by high levels of education, with particularly strong representation in the technology industry, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and a 2.0% annual increase in local employment. As of March 2026, employed residents total 9,025, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.3% below the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while the workforce participation rate of 77.9% is significantly higher than the regional average of 69.1%. Census responses indicated that a substantial 67.3% of residents performed their jobs from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
Local employment is heavily weighted toward professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance. The community exhibits a strong specialization in professional & technical services, where the concentration of workers is 1.9 times the regional average. By contrast, the construction sector is underrepresented, employing 4.2% of working residents compared to the 8.6% regional average. The area serves as an employment center, recording 2.9 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, thereby drawing commuters from neighboring suburbs and hosting more jobs than it has working residents. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026, the local workforce grew by 1.4% and total employment rose by 2.0%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future workforce demands in St Leonards - Naremburn. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local industry mix to estimate future employment trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly across different sectors. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of St Leonards - Naremburn suggests local jobs could grow by 7.7% over five years and 15.2% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that does not account for 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 — 912 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,903 at the 2021 Census → 13,844 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.
