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.

Wangi Wangi - Rathmines has an estimated 9,722 residents, up from 9,467 at the 2021 Census — a change of 255 people, or 2.7%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 75% of areas nationally. That puts 738 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Wangi Wangi - Rathmines stands at approximately 9,722 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 255 individuals (2.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,467 residents. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 9,710 alongside 55 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 738 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical figures across areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The post-census growth of 2.7% is within 2.2 percentage points of the Rest of NSW (4.9%), indicating competitive demographic expansion.
This growth was primarily supported by overseas migration, which represented roughly 53.7% of the total population increase, though natural increase and interstate migration also registered positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, substituting NSW State Government SA2 projections from 2022 with a 2021 base year for any locations where the primary dataset is unavailable. Age group growth rates from these sources are extended to cover the period from 2032 to 2041. Based on recent annual ERP statistics, the area is projected to experience growth aligned with the bottom quartile of regional areas nationwide, gaining 47 people by 2041, which translates to a total increase of 0.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
123 new dwellings have been approved in Wangi Wangi - Rathmines over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 37, running ahead of that longer-run average.

Detail
Wangi Wangi - Rathmines records an annual average of approximately 24 new residential approvals, with 123 dwellings approved throughout the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 34 approvals registered during FY-26 to date. Over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, there was an average of 2.5 new residents per dwelling, pointing to steady demand that underpins property values, while new residential construction averages a value of $414,000—slightly exceeding the regional benchmark—which points to a preference for higher-quality housing. Additionally, commercial approvals totaling $11.9 million have been logged in the current financial year, indicating steady non-residential development.
Compared to the Rest of NSW, development volume in Wangi Wangi - Rathmines is substantially lower, sitting 71.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited addition of new housing stock generally bolsters demand and values for pre-existing homes. This rate also falls below the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential local planning restrictions. Residential building starts consist of 95.0% separate houses and 5.0% semi-detached options or units, maintaining the low-density character of the neighborhood through a focus on detached homes that appeal to buyers seeking space. The ratio of 470 people in the locality for each dwelling approved underscores this quiet, low-volume construction climate. Projections indicate that Wangi Wangi - Rathmines will add 35 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction volumes suggest that new residential supply will easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially driving growth beyond current demographic forecasts.

4,571 residents of Wangi Wangi - Rathmines are employed, from a labour force of 4,772. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 57.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,073, about 83% 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 in Wangi Wangi - Rathmines is characterized by solid skill levels and strong representation in essential service industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.2%. As of March 2026, employed residents count 4,571, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.1% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, and workforce participation lagging slightly at 57.8% compared to the regional figure of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate 23.2% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in light of COVID-19 restriction measures. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The construction sector shows a particularly high concentration, employing workers at 1.4 times the regional rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents a minor segment, accounting for 0.4% of local employment compared to 5.3% across the region. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests a shortage of local jobs within the immediate area. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the year ending March 2026, the local labour force shrank by 0.4% and total employment fell by 2.4%, which led to a 2.0 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide context for future local labor demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate future employment trends. Although aggregate national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, individual sectors show varied performance. Applying these industry growth rates to the Wangi Wangi - Rathmines employment structure yields a projected local employment increase of 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that excludes local 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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,467 at the 2021 Census → 9,722 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.
