Sales Detail
Birrong has an estimated 3,561 residents, up from 3,331 at the 2021 Census — a change of 230 people, or 6.9%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 2,968 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Birrong has reached an estimated resident total of 3,561, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS updates with post-Census address validations. This represents a gain of 230 people (6.9%) relative to the 3,331 people counted in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch arrived at this figure by examining the ABS release of June 2025 ERP data (which indicated 3,532 residents) alongside 12 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. With 2,967 persons per square kilometer, the locality exhibits high population density, ranking in the top quartile of all nationwide zones analyzed by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 6.9% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outstripped both the SA3 area (5.7%) and the broader SA4 region, positioning the locality at the forefront of regional growth. Inbound overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 62.0% of recent population gains. In developing regional trajectories, AreaSearch utilizes the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 (anchored to 2022), while turning to NSW State Government SA2 modeling from 2022 (using 2021 as a base) for locations not covered in the federal dataset. Age-specific rates extracted from these models are incorporated across all territories for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Under these aggregated SA2-level expectations, the suburb of Birrong is projected to register expansion slightly under the national median, increasing by 330 persons to 2041 and generating an overall rise of 8.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
88 new dwellings have been approved in Birrong over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 52% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, running ahead of 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
Analysis of localized ABS building figures conducted by AreaSearch reveals that building approvals have averaged approximately 17 new homes per annum, generating an estimated total of 88 dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 30 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the influx of 1.4 new residents per year per approved dwelling points to an equilibrium between incoming demand and new construction, which underpins market stability. Furthermore, with an average construction value of $402,000—a figure lower than the broader regional benchmark—upcoming housing offers relatively accessible price points.
Commercial building approvals have reached $4.2 million this financial year, underscoring the area's predominantly residential character. On a per-capita basis, building activity tracks Greater Sydney very closely, fostering steady market conditions consistent with wider metropolitan trends. Of recent construction, detached houses represent 52.0% while medium and high-density housing makes up 48.0%, providing a varied selection of attached and compact housing alongside freestanding family residences across diverse price brackets. This ongoing pipeline marks a shift away from the established stock (84.0% houses), driven by diminishing greenfield land, shifting lifestyle preferences, and heightened demand for versatile, lower-cost dwellings. A ratio of approximately 152 people per dwelling approval reflects the attributes of an expanding community. Demographic projections anticipate an influx of 301 residents through to 2041 compared against the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Given established building trends, future residential construction is well positioned to absorb incoming demand comfortably, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

1,443 residents of Birrong are employed, from a labour force of 1,611. Unemployment sits at 10.4%, with participation at 56.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,099, about 87% 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
Locals participate across a diverse array of industries within a capable workforce, where the unemployment rate stands at 10.4% alongside an estimated 2.1% job growth over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents number 1,443, though the jobless rate sits 6.3% above the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1% and workforce participation remains lower at 56.0% compared to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records indicated that 36.0% of local workers performed their duties from home, an outcome influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The largest shares of the local workforce are engaged in retail trade, manufacturing, and health care & social assistance.
Concentration is especially elevated within transport, postal & warehousing, where participation reaches 1.7 times the metropolitan baseline. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, engaging 6.8% of local workers relative to 11.5% throughout Greater Sydney. Comparing the resident labor pool to the Census working population highlights a modest number of employment positions available within the immediate neighbourhood. Evaluations of ABS and SALM figures compiled by AreaSearch indicate that across the 12 months to March 2026, resident employment rose by 2.1% while the broader labor force expanded by 3.4%, lifting the jobless rate by 1.2 percentage points. This trend diverged from Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% increase in jobs, a 1.9% rise in the labor pool, and a slight contraction in unemployment. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26 provide indicative national workforce trends across five and ten-year horizons, forecasting nationwide job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local industry composition suggests area employment could expand by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model rather than localized demographic modeling).

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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,331 at the 2021 Census → 3,561 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 (SAL10378). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
