This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
Analysis of ABS population figures for the surrounding region, combined with fresh address information verified by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of the suburb of Bexley stands at approximately 19,895 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 249 individuals (1.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 19,646 residents. The adjustment is calculated from an AreaSearch resident estimate of 19,888, which was established by examining the June 2025 ERP data release from the ABS alongside 102 verified new addresses added after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 4,542 persons per square kilometer.
This ratio places the locality within the highest 10% of all areas evaluated by AreaSearch nationwide, showing that local land is highly coveted. Over recent timeframes, international migration was the primary driver of population gains, accounting for about 94.0% of the net growth. AreaSearch incorporates SA2-level projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the anchor year. For SA2 territories where this dataset is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. The age bracket growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, growth is expected to align with the lower quartile of areas monitored by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Bexley projected to add 615 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2 models, representing a total increase of 3.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
327 new dwellings have been approved in Bexley over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That is 3.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 41% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 26, well below 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals aggregated from regional statistics, the suburb of Bexley averages approximately 65 approved residential units annually. Over the preceding 5 financial years (covering FY-21 through FY-25), developers secured approvals for 327 homes, with an additional 24 approvals recorded during FY-26. Given the contracting population over the last few years, the introduction of new housing stock has likely matched demand, providing prospective buyers with adequate options. The average value of these new builds is $569,000, which highlights developer interest in high-end, upscale housing projects.
Additionally, commercial development remains quiet, with only $565,000 in commercial approvals registered this financial year. Bexley generates about 59% of the per capita construction activity seen across Greater Sydney, positioning it in the 32nd percentile of locations monitored nationwide. This results in a tighter supply of new options for purchasers, sustaining demand for established dwellings. The lower activity rate relative to the national average highlights a mature local market and suggests potential geographic or regulatory limitations on development. The breakdown of recent residential construction consists of 41.0% freestanding houses and 59.0% medium-density choices like townhouses and apartments. This concentration of smaller footprints provides more affordable access points to the market, drawing interest from downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. With approximately 537 residents for each dwelling approval, Bexley exhibits a mature housing market. Projections indicate that the suburb of Bexley will gain 608 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. Maintaining the current pace of construction should allow new housing additions to easily accommodate this growth, ensuring favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for expansion beyond the current baseline forecasts.

11,193 residents of Bexley are employed, from a labour force of 11,579. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 69.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,651, about 79% 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 workforce is characterized by high educational attainment and a strong contingent of professionals. The area registers an unemployment rate of just 3.3%, alongside an estimated yearly job growth rate of 3.3%, according to aggregated regional statistics compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 11,193. The local unemployment rate sits 0.8% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation matches the metropolitan benchmark of 69.1%. Census data indicates that a notable 38.2% of the working population operated from home, though this figure likely reflects the influence of pandemic-related lockdowns.
The principal sectors employing residents are retail trade, health care & social assistance, and construction. There is a prominent concentration of workers in transport, postal & warehousing, which is represented at 1.6 times the metropolitan average. In contrast, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 9.0% of the workforce compared to the metropolitan standard of 11.5%. Local job opportunities within this primarily residential enclave appear limited, as shown by comparing the count of active local jobs against the size of the employed resident population. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics across the broader region shows that the workforce grew by 3.2% while employment rose by 3.3% over the 12-month period, keeping unemployment levels steady. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9%, a labor force expansion of 1.9%, and a slight drop in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future local trends. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Weighting these projections against the local industry profile suggests employment for residents could grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, assuming a direct extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 102 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (19,646 at the 2021 Census → 19,895 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.
