For each SA2 region, AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 locations lacking this data, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are implemented.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Albion Park

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

612 new dwellings have been approved in Albion Park over the past five years, an average of 122 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 133 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 58% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 94, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals across statistical boundaries indicates that Albion Park averages roughly 122 residential approvals annually, culminating in approximately 612 approved homes over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 87 approvals have been recorded. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, development averaged 2 new residents per year for each approved dwelling, pointing to steady demand that supports property values. The average construction value of these new dwellings is $444,000, which is higher than typical regional averages and highlights a focus on quality builds.

Meanwhile, commercial development approvals total $938,000 for the current financial year, representing very low commercial construction activity. Albion Park exhibits development levels per resident that are comparable to the Rest of NSW, supporting property market stability in line with regional trends. The mix of new residential projects consists of 58.0% detached houses and 42.0% semi-detached properties or apartments, showing a shift toward attached housing styles that offer diverse price points, from larger family residences to affordable compact alternatives. This trend deviates noticeably from the current housing stock, which is 85.0% detached houses, pointing to a decrease in available development land and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability pressures. With a ratio of approximately 306 people for every approved dwelling, Albion Park is experiencing an evolving market. Demographic projections indicate that Albion Park's population will rise by 5,459 residents up to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If residential construction volumes remain at current levels, housing supply may fail to keep pace with population growth, which is likely to heighten buyer competition and support upward pressure on prices.

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 — 163 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,826 at the 2021 Census → 15,056 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL10025). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Albion Park suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Albion Park page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Albion Park data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
