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.

Sales Detail
Wentworth Falls has an estimated 6,512 residents, up from 6,428 at the 2021 Census — a change of 84 people, or 1.3%. That puts 310 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 analysis by AreaSearch, the resident population of Wentworth Falls reaches approximately 6,512 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 6,428 people, this indicates an expansion of 84 people (1.3%). This shift is determined using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 6,503 along with 37 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 309 persons per square kilometer, offering generous space per resident as well as capacity for future expansion. Over the previous ten years, Wentworth Falls recorded steady demographic momentum with a 0.5% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3 area.
Inward overseas migration served as the core driver of demographic gains, generating roughly 62.2% of total population additions over recent timeframes. Projections for each SA2 area incorporated by AreaSearch rely on the ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset published in 2024 using 2022 as its baseline year, with any unrepresented SA2 localities utilizing NSW State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2022 from a 2021 base year. Age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are likewise extended across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Over this projection horizon, the modeling points to overall demographic contraction, with Wentworth Falls anticipated to lose 116 persons by 2041. Conversely, selected age segments will expand, most prominently the 75 to 84 cohort, which is forecast to gain 254 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
49 new dwellings have been approved in Wentworth Falls over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. 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 Wentworth Falls have tracked at roughly 9 new homes yearly, totaling 49 homes approved across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because only 0.8 people per year moved into the locality for each home constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to housing supply are keeping pace with or outrunning local demand, broadening buyer selection and facilitating potential population expansion beyond current forecasts, with new dwellings reflecting an average expected construction cost of $518,000. Furthermore, $180,000 in commercial approvals has been recorded during the current financial year, underlining the district's predominantly residential character.
When evaluated on a per-person basis against Greater Sydney, Wentworth Falls records 14.0% less new construction activity and sits in the 18th percentile among evaluated regions across the country, a factor that constrains purchasing opportunities while bolstering interest in established properties. This pace also trails the national benchmark, highlighting local market maturity alongside potential planning restrictions. Detached dwellings represented 90.0% of recent approvals, while townhouses or apartments accounted for 10.0%, sustaining the neighborhood's low-density profile where standalone housing continues to attract buyers seeking larger land parcels. An estimated ratio of 1055 people per residential building approval illustrates the calm, modest development climate of the area. Given that the local population is projected to stabilize or contract, Wentworth Falls is likely to experience reduced pressure on the housing stock, which could open up favorable purchasing conditions.

2,978 residents of Wentworth Falls are employed, from a labour force of 3,058. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 54.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,618, about 86% 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
A highly qualified resident workforce characterizes Wentworth Falls, featuring prominent representation across essential service industries alongside an unemployment rate of merely 2.6%. There are 2,978 employed residents as of March 2026, with local unemployment sitting 1.5% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, although the local labor force participation rate of 54.9% trails the Greater Sydney figure of 68.9%. Census records indicate that 45.7% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though this metric may reflect pandemic-era movement restrictions. Key industries employing local residents comprise health care & social assistance, education & training, together with public administration & safety.
A notable concentration exists in education & training, where the local employment proportion stands at 1.7 times the broader regional benchmark. In contrast, the finance & insurance sector is relatively small, engaging only 2.4% of the Wentworth Falls working base compared to 7.3% across Greater Sydney. Comparisons between Census local workplace counts and resident worker tallies demonstrate that this largely residential setting provides comparatively few jobs within its own boundaries. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local labor pool contracted by 3.9% and resident employment fell by 3.5%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage points decrease in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe across Greater Sydney, employed headcount rose by 1.9%, the overall labor force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National industry outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on potential employment trends for Wentworth Falls. Applying these five-year and ten-year national industry growth rates—which forecast broader workforce growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to the local sector composition suggests Wentworth Falls employment could rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (note that this reflects a baseline weighting model for context and does not integrate localized demographic 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 — 37 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,428 at the 2021 Census → 6,512 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (124011455). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
