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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Toongabbie - Constitution Hill is estimated to be 23,966 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,113 residents (4.9%) relative to the 22,853 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 23,933 alongside 55 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 3,204 persons per square kilometer, placing the region in the upper quartile of all Australian locations analysed. This 4.9% population growth is within 2.2 percentage points of the state average of 7.1%, showcasing solid local growth patterns.
Overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for 86.9% of the overall population increases in recent times. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for each SA2 region. In instances where such statistics are unavailable, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government's 2022 release with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these sources are also mapped to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts point to an increase in residents that sits slightly under the national median for statistical areas, with a projected rise of 2,070 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 8.5% over the 16 years.

Detail
The local workforce in Toongabbie - Constitution Hill is highly educated, featuring robust representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of just 3.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.1% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 13,726 employed residents, with an unemployment rate sitting 0.4% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is solid, reaching 71.8% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney.

Conversely, professional & technical roles are less common, accounting for 9.7% of local employment compared to 11.5% across the region. This predominantly residential district offers fewer local jobs relative to its resident workforce, as shown by the comparison of Census working population to resident counts. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed persons grew by 3.1% while the overall labor force expanded by 3.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate.

Employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective local job demand in Toongabbie - Constitution Hill. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the job mix in Toongabbie - Constitution Hill indicates local employment could rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted extrapolation and does not factor in local population shifts.

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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (22,853 at the 2021 Census → 23,966 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (125041493). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
