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 evaluation by AreaSearch, the resident count of Woolooware - Burraneer stands at approximately 10,035 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,088 people (12.2%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 8,947 people. This upward trend is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,989 as of June 2025 alongside 339 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 3,013 persons per square kilometer, positioning the community within the upper quartile among nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the broader SA4 region (5.1%) and the SA3 area, Woolooware - Burraneer's 12.2% post-2021 census surge highlights it as a leading local growth corridor.
The primary contributor to these gains was interstate migration, generating roughly 50.0% of recent population increases, supported additionally by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (anchored to 2022) for each SA2 district, supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2022 (benchmarked to 2021) wherever data gaps exist. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are integrated across all locations. Given anticipated demographic transitions, AreaSearch projects the district will sit in the top quartile of assessed statistical areas for expansion, adding 2,248 persons to 2041 relative to current annual ERP figures, representing an overall increase of 21.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
258 new dwellings have been approved in Woolooware - Burraneer over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail
In Woolooware - Burraneer, residential planning consents have run at roughly 51 dwellings each year, amounting to 258 homes across the last 5 financial years. With an intake averaging 4.8 new residents per year per dwelling built across the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), local housing output significantly trails incoming population demand, typically intensifying buyer competition and exerting upward pressure on property prices. Concurrently, approved residential projects carry an average value of $700,000, underscoring a strategic emphasis by developers on the high-end, premium residential segment. Furthermore, $185.9 million in commercial approvals has been registered during this financial year, highlighting strong local commercial investment.
On a per-capita basis, building approvals in Woolooware - Burraneer lag Greater Sydney by 17.0%, while ranking at the 65th percentile among nationally tracked districts. Recent residential development comprises 20.0% detached houses and 80.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density dwelling options creates attainable market entry points suitable for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. This dynamic highlights a substantial shift away from the historic housing stock (which stands at 60.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant land alongside changing consumer preferences for diversified, lower-maintenance housing alternatives. Registering around 196 people per approval, Woolooware - Burraneer showcases an evolving urban landscape. Demographic projections indicate an influx of 2,202 residents into Woolooware - Burraneer through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. Sustaining current construction volumes could make it challenging for dwelling supply to keep pace with population expansion, which may heighten buyer competition and reinforce upward pricing momentum.

5,712 residents of Woolooware - Burraneer are employed, from a labour force of 5,846. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 70.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,989, about 80% 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 pool in Woolooware - Burraneer is highly educated, featuring robust representation in professional services, relative job market stability throughout the preceding twelve months, and an unemployment rate of just 2.3%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,712, with the jobless rate sitting 1.8% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, while overall participation aligns closely with Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records reveal that 43.7% of employed locals worked from home, though this metric was influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged in construction, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services.
Construction exhibits an exceptionally high local presence, with resident participation reaching 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 11.5% of employed locals, trailing the 14.1% seen across Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census resident workforce against local workplace numbers demonstrates that this largely residential enclave provides a constrained volume of employment within its immediate boundaries. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the year to March 2026, the local workforce expanded by 0.5% while resident employment contracted by 0.2%, causing the jobless rate to increase by 0.6 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney observed a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion in its labour force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. Broader perspective on future workforce needs in Woolooware - Burraneer is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied against the local industry profile to gauge employment trajectories. Across the nation, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry growth varies widely. Adjusting for Woolooware - Burraneer's sector distribution suggests local employment may climb by 6.8% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this is a weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes local population dynamics).

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 — 339 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,947 at the 2021 Census → 10,035 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.
