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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of St Leonards - Naremburn stands at approximately 13,844 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,941 people (16.3%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 11,903 people. This trend is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,802 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 912 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, local population density reaches 5,015 persons per square kilometer, placing the community within the top 10% nationwide and underscoring strong demand for local land.
The locality's 16.3% rate of expansion since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader state and the SA4 region (5.9%), establishing it as a regional growth frontrunner. Net overseas migration served as the principal driver of this expansion, accounting for roughly 69.1% of recent population additions, while interstate migration and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are applied across individual SA2 areas, while unlisted localities utilize NSW State Government SA2 modeling released in 2022 (anchored to a 2021 baseline). Projected age-cohort growth rates derived from these datasets are extended across all districts from 2032 to 2041. In line with broader demographic trajectories, the district is anticipated to experience substantial population gains within the top quartile of Australian regions, adding 5,187 persons by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP benchmarks—a cumulative rise of 37.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
206 new dwellings have been approved in St Leonards - Naremburn over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That places the area in the 53rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail
Residential building approvals in St Leonards - Naremburn have averaged approximately 41 new dwellings annually, totaling 206 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this identical period (between FY-22 and FY-26), the locality welcomed an average of 8.7 people per year for every dwelling constructed, demonstrating that housing demand is substantially outstripping new supply, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward momentum on property pricing. Furthermore, the anticipated construction cost for new dwellings averages $499,000, while commercial development approvals have reached $375.7 million during this financial year, highlighting strong ongoing investment in local commerce.
Per capita building activity across St Leonards - Naremburn is roughly half the rate recorded across Greater Sydney, positioning the locality in the 12th percentile of nationally reviewed districts. This restrained supply limits choices for purchasers and sustains robust interest in existing stock, while sitting below the national norm as a reflection of established urban infrastructure and potential planning boundaries. Of the newly approved residential construction, 10.0% comprises detached houses while 90.0% consists of medium and high-density housing types. This orientation toward higher-density development provides accessible pricing tiers that cater to first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. Generating approximately 1456 people per approval, the locality displays the development characteristics of an established, mature urban setting. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, demographic modeling projects that St Leonards - Naremburn will add 5,145 residents through to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, local housing creation risks falling short of demographic expansion, a dynamic that could heighten buyer competition and reinforce upward pressure on dwelling 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 78.3%. 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
The resident workforce in St Leonards - Naremburn is characterized by high educational attainment and prominent representation in the technology industry, accompanied by an unemployment rate of only 2.9% and an estimated employment growth of 2.0% over the past year. Employed residents numbered 9,025 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 1.3% beneath the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Furthermore, labor force engagement remains elevated at 78.3%, well above Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records indicate that 67.3% of local workers operated from home, an outcome that reflects prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The primary employment sectors for local residents include professional & technical, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance. The community displays notable economic concentration in professional & technical fields, generating an employment concentration 1.9 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, construction represents a modest 4.2% of local resident employment compared to 8.6% across the wider region. Hosting 2.9 workers for every resident as of the Census, the precinct operates as a significant commercial hub that provides more jobs than resident workers and draws commuters from surrounding suburbs. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 2.0% while the labor pool grew by 1.4%, lowering the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor force metrics each grow by 1.9%, alongside a slight decrease in joblessness. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future labor demand within St Leonards - Naremburn. Mapped against the local employment base across five and ten-year horizons, these figures reveal how sector-specific variations will shape the area. Nationally, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but applying these detailed sectoral trajectories to St Leonards - Naremburn's industry distribution suggests local job numbers could increase by 7.7% over five years and 15.2% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and 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 — 912 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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.
