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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Warragamba - Silverdale reaches approximately 7,547 in May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 1,522 individuals (25.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 6,025 residents. This population shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 7,544 from June 2025 alongside 228 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 118 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial personal space and possibilities for future expansion. The growth rate of 25.3% since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (6.0%) and the state, positioning the locality as a leader in regional growth.
The main driver of this population increase was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 63.6% of the total population gains in recent times, though natural increase and overseas migration also registered positive contributions. AreaSearch adopts the SA2 projections released by the ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024, which utilize 2022 as their base year. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, projections compiled by the NSW State Government in 2022 using a 2021 base year are utilized. Growth rates categorized by age bracket from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on ongoing demographic patterns, the area is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median, with an estimated rise of 1,072 individuals by 2041 when measured against the latest annual ERP data, representing a total gain of 14.2% over the 16 years.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Warragamba Dam Raising Project
A proposed project to raise the Warragamba Dam wall by 14m to increase temporary storage capacity for flood mitigation in the Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley.

4,164 residents of Warragamba - Silverdale are employed, from a labour force of 4,230. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 73.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 6,120, about 81% 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 workforce in Warragamba - Silverdale is evenly split between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a notable concentration in the construction sector and a low unemployment rate of 1.6%. As of March 2026, there are 4,164 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 2.6% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Workforce participation is relatively typical, standing at 73.5% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records show that a high proportion of residents (27.9%) worked from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. Resident employment is clustered within construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The local economy exhibits a strong specialization in construction, where the share of employment is 2.4 times the regional norm. In contrast, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 4.0% of jobs compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Comparing the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local job opportunities within the area are limited. According to AreaSearch's review of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force contracted by 3.8% and total employment fell by 4.1% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.3 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 slight drop in unemployment. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective demand patterns in Warragamba - Silverdale. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local employment structure to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral trends to the local job profile suggests that employment in Warragamba - Silverdale could expand by 6.0% over five years and 12.4% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized 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 — 228 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,025 at the 2021 Census → 7,547 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.
