Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Wentworth Point - Sydney Olympic Park records a population of approximately 25,522 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census total of 20,412 people, this represents an addition of 5,110 people (25.0%). This calculation incorporates the ABS estimated resident population of 24,853 from June 2025 alongside 2,212 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density stands at 3,481 persons per square kilometer, positioning the precinct within the top quartile of assessed Australian regions. The area's 25.0% expansion since the 2021 census outpaced both Greater Sydney and the wider state figure of 7.3%, establishing it as a key regional growth hub.
Inbound overseas migration was the primary catalyst, generating roughly 52.6% of recent population increases, supported by positive contributions from natural increase and interstate arrivals. Forecast modeling utilizes the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 data, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures keyed to 2021.

17,838 residents of Wentworth Point - Sydney Olympic Park are employed, from a labour force of 18,190. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 85.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% 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. 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 labor force characterizes Wentworth Point - Sydney Olympic Park, marked by strong professional services employment, an unemployment rate standing at only 1.9%, and a 3.1% rise in estimated jobs over the previous year. By March 2026, working residents totaled 17,838, with unemployment tracking 2.2% lower than the Greater Sydney mark of 4.1%, and labor force participation reaching 85.7% versus 68.9% regionally. Census records showed 55.4% of employed residents working from home, reflecting conditions influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance.
Local representation in professional & technical fields is especially pronounced, exceeding the regional baseline by 1.3 times. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 11.3% of the resident workforce, trailing the Greater Sydney level of 14.1%. At the time of the Census, the area registered a ratio of 0.6 workers per resident, signaling an above-average volume of local employment opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, a 3.1% rise in employment alongside a 3.3% increase in the labor force led to a 0.2 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate, whereas Greater Sydney recorded 1.9% employment growth, 1.9% labor force expansion, and a slight reduction in unemployment. Sector-based medium-term demand can be gauged through Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26. While overall Australian employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations applied to the local job profile suggest local employment growth of 7.0% across five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a simple illustrative weighting model independent of localized demographic forecasts.

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 — 2,212 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,412 at the 2021 Census → 25,522 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 (125011710). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
