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.

Sylvania - Taren Point has an estimated 16,665 residents, up from 16,430 at the 2021 Census — a change of 235 people, or 1.4%. That puts 2,750 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, Sylvania - Taren Point has a population of approximately 16,665 in May 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 16,430 people, this represents an addition of 235 residents (1.4%). This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 16,621 along with 66 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,750 persons per square kilometer, placing the location in the top quartile of all nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The expansion was chiefly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 86.6% of the total population rise in recent times.
For each SA2 area, AreaSearch incorporates projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In cases where these projections are unavailable, AreaSearch relies on SA2 forecasts from the NSW State Government published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline. Age category growth trends from these datasets are projected forward to cover 2032 through 2041. Based on recent annual ERP statistics, the district is projected to experience future population growth slightly below the national median, expanding by 1,341 people by 2041, which corresponds to an overall gain of 7.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
440 new dwellings have been approved in Sylvania - Taren Point over the past five years, an average of 88 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 74 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 19% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 84, 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
Building approvals in Sylvania - Taren Point run at approximately 88 residential properties annually, leading to a sum of 440 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 77 registered approvals. Because only 0.2 people moved to the locality for each finished dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, the volume of new housing is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, providing buyers with diverse options and leaving room for population growth above current expectations. The average value of these new constructions is $632,000, which indicates that builders are focusing on high-end properties within the premium market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals total $86.9 million in the current financial year, signaling strong local commercial development. Per capita building development in Sylvania - Taren Point is roughly three-quarters of the level seen in Greater Sydney, placing the locality in the 62nd percentile of all areas evaluated nationwide. The composition of new residential approvals consists of 19.0% standalone houses and 81.0% townhouses or apartments. This preference for denser housing structures creates more accessible price points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a major departure from the existing dwelling profile, where houses make up 64.0% of properties, reflecting a scarcity of development land and responding to changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. The region averages about 243 people for every dwelling approval, indicating a low-density market environment. Looking forward, Sylvania - Taren Point is projected to add 1,296 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Considering current construction trends, the incoming supply of housing should easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current predictions.

8,128 residents of Sylvania - Taren Point are employed, from a labour force of 8,487. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 60.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 Sylvania - Taren Point is highly educated, featuring a strong concentration of professional services and an unemployment rate of 4.2%. In March 2026, 8,128 residents were employed. The unemployment rate is 0.1% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is considerably lower at 60.0% compared to the regional figure of 69.1%. Census details indicate that a substantial 39.6% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Construction shows a particularly high concentration, employing workers at 1.3 times the regional rate. On the other hand, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 9.3% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Comparing the number of local jobs from Census data against the resident workforce suggests that this predominantly residential locality offers limited local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force grew by 0.3% while employment fell by 0.7% over the year ending March 2026, resulting in a 1.0 percentage point increase in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a minor reduction in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Sylvania - Taren Point. These projections, spanning five-year and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local workforce structure to predict growth. While employment nationwide is projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment distribution suggests that employment among residents will grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted extrapolation 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 — 66 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,430 at the 2021 Census → 16,665 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.
