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 resident population of Warilla stands at approximately 20,751 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 20,397 people, this represents an addition of 354 people (1.7%). This demographic shift is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 20,725 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 154 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. The local population density reaches 2,186 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across areas evaluated nationally by AreaSearch. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary catalyst for local demographic expansion, accounting for around 60.4% of total population additions in recent times.
Projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (benchmarked to 2022) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, while areas outside this dataset draw upon NSW State Government SA2 modeling released in 2022 using 2021 as a base year. Projected growth rates categorized by age bracket are extended across all localities for 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends over this timeframe, these projections point toward a contraction in the aggregate headcount, decreasing by 138 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, particular age segments are expected to gain numbers, most notably the 25 to 34 age group with an anticipated expansion of 432 people. Further details can be found in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
432 new dwellings have been approved in Warilla over the past five years, an average of 86 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 87 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 30% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Warilla have averaged approximately 86 new homes annually, totaling 432 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 and FY-26). In the context of a declining headcount over the preceding timeframe, construction volumes have been comparatively sufficient to benefit prospective buyers, while average construction costs for new dwellings sit at $352,000—a figure below regional benchmarks that highlights cost-effective housing options. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $5.7 million have been documented during the current financial year, underscoring that the area remains largely residential. Compared with Rest of NSW, building activity across Warilla is considerably muted (50.0% below regional average per person).
While this restrained supply pipeline generally underpins values and demand for established residences, building approvals have shown recent momentum. Incoming construction comprises 30.0% standalone homes and 70.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on medium-to-higher density formats offers lower entry costs that appeal to downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. This pattern diverges notably from the prevailing dwelling landscape (where 78.0% houses currently predominate), reflecting shrinking supplies of greenfield land alongside changing lifestyle needs and affordability demands. The community records around 202 people per dwelling approval, denoting a low density market. With demographic projections pointing to flat or decreasing resident numbers, Warilla is likely to see reduced pressure on its housing market, generating advantageous conditions for property purchasers.

8,119 residents of Warilla are employed, from a labour force of 9,401. Unemployment sits at 13.6%, with participation at 55.2%. 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 18,064, about 87% 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 labour market across Warilla exhibits an even distribution between blue and white collar positions, supported by substantial representation across essential service sectors, an unemployment rate of 13.6%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 2.9%. Working residents numbered 8,119 as of March 2026, though the local jobless rate sits 9.5% above Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, indicating clear capacity for improvement, while the participation rate of 55.2% trails Regional NSW's 60.6%. Census figures showed that a moderate 17.1% of employed locals were working remotely from home, a metric that 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 stands out as a core strength, employing residents at a rate 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector accounts for only 0.3% of the workforce, well under Regional NSW's 5.3%. A comparison between Census working figures and the resident population highlights that this predominantly residential district provides comparatively few jobs within its own boundaries. An examination of ABS and SALM figures by AreaSearch reveals that over the 12-month period, a 2.9% rise in employment alongside a 2.6% expansion in the labour pool lowered the local unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. This positive shift runs contrary to Regional NSW, where employment contracted by 0.9%, the labour force dropped by 0.4%, and the jobless rate climbed by 0.5 percentage points. Broader employment outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future staffing demand in Warilla. Mapping these five-year and ten-year national trajectories against the local industry makeup illustrates expected trends. Across Australia, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Applying these sector-specific growth rates to Warilla's existing industry profile points to potential local job expansion of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (calculated via weighted industry extrapolation for illustrative context, without factoring in local demographic 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 — 154 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,397 at the 2021 Census → 20,751 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.
