Edensor Park

Population

An assessment of population growth drivers in Edensor Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent and medium term trends. Total population for Edensor Park was estimated by AreaSearch to be approximately 10,201 as at February 25 (~48.2% male and 51.8% female), which represented a slight 0.9% decline from the 10,292 recorded as at the 2021 Census period. This is based upon an estimated resident population of 10,195 from the ABS up to June 2024 and an additional 11 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,291 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch.

Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 78% of overall population gains during recent periods. Over the census periods assessed Edensor Park underperformed Greater Sydney across each timeframe in terms of growth with the location's growth profile showing a very high level of volatility with an average growth level in each 5yr census period of 1.7%.

Moving forward with demographic trends, a population increase just below the median of national areas is expected, with the area expected to grow by 498 persons to 2041 based on the latest population numbers, with an increase of 4.9% in total over the 17 years.

Note: Population figures above are provided on both Census periods (c) and Estimated Resident Population (erp) basis. ERP figures are calculated annually by the ABS as at June 30 and have been adjusted for new Census boundaries with the 2021 Census. As figures differ slightly, growth rates over periods have been calculated using the same basis. For example 2016 to 2021 growth is based on available Census data, while 2001 to 2006 has used an ERP basis due to mesh block level Census data being unavailable.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041.

Employment

Total resident employment within Edensor Park equated to 4,585 as at Dec-2024, while the unemployment rate was 5.9%, compared to 4.1% for Greater Sydney (please note local unemployment rates are calculated on a trend basis and lag more up-to-date state figures released by the ABS). Total employment increased 3.5% over the year to Dec-2024 in Edensor Park, while labour force increased 4.0%, causing the unemployment rate to rise 0.4% over the same period. These figures can be compared to Greater Sydney's performance, where total employment increased 1.6%, the region's labour force increased 2.3% and its unemployment rate rose 0.6%. Also noteworthy is Edensor Park's participation rate, which trails the Greater Sydney average at 45.7%.

The interest rate tightening cycle from the RBA is now having an effect on job advertisements growth, a positive for lowering inflation expectations, with a moderation seen over the past year as advertised roles in the Sydney employment region remained relatively stable. Looking relative to longer term trends however, the 346,698 job advertisements recorded as at 2025-Feb were below the longer term average of 450,654.

The key industries of employment are health care & social assistance, retail trade and construction, which make up 12.3%, 12.2% and 10.4%, respectively.

Jobs and Skills Australia provides national projections of growth expected by industry over five and 10 year periods from May 2024, which can be overlaid onto Edensor Park's employment composition to get a gauge as to potential future employment demand. Nationally employment levels are expected to grow by 6.6% over the coming five years and 13.7% over the ten year period, but vary substantially across industry segments. When industry expectations are applied to Edensor Park as described above, the area should increase 6.1% over the five year period and 12.8% over the ten year period. Please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections.

Development

Dwelling approval data is released monthly by the ABS, there was 59 residential approvals completely comrised of detached house approvals registered in Edensor Park over the past two financial years, with FY-25 presently on track to deliver 24 on an annualised basis given the 14 recorded to date. Looking at development activity over the previous five financial years, Edensor Park's approval levels are currently running above the yearly average of 26, with a clear downward tend in approvals apparent from historic rates.

Dwelling approval activity in Edensor Park has been lower than that observed across the broader region, with approval levels standing at 0.29 per 100 people, compared to 0.57 in Greater Sydney. This translates to one dwelling being approved for every 345 people in Edensor Park, against one for every 180 in Greater Sydney. With the population expected to increase by 487 people by 2041, around 148 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels appear more than sufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 3.3 persons per dwelling. This suggests that population growth may exceed trend projections in the coming years, supported by a robust housing supply.

Another important driver of capital value is densification, as measured by AreaSearch. This involves comparing the ratio of house to attached and 'other' dwelling approvals in recent applications with the housing stock ratio recorded in the latest Census. According to this analysis, 100% of recent approvals in Edensor Park were for houses, a figure 10.5% above the Census figure.
