Detail

According to investigations of ABS population estimates for the wider region, alongside recent addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count for Blackalls Park is calculated to be approximately 2,773 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 39 residents (1.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 2,812 people.

This population level translates to a density of 912 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical rates across localities analyzed by AreaSearch. Population expansion in the locality was mostly driven by interstate arrivals, which made up roughly 60.0% of the overall population gains during the recent timeframe.

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's evaluation of building approvals from the ABS, mapped from statistical area data, Blackalls Park has recorded approximately 9 residential property approvals annually, with an estimated total of 48 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 5 so far during FY-26. Amidst recent population declines, residential supply has kept pace with demand, yielding a balanced market with healthy buyer options, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $706,000, showing developers are prioritizing high-end, premium housing. Furthermore, $1.4 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential character of the locality.

Relative to the Rest of NSW, Blackalls Park exhibits significantly subdued building activity (61.0% below the regional average per capita). A low volume of new completions generally supports demand and valuations for established properties. This rate of activity is also below the national average, reflecting the mature state of the suburb and suggesting potential planning constraints. Current building permits indicate a mix of 57.0% freestanding houses and 43.0% semi-detached properties or units, showing a growing blend of attached formats that provide choices across different price brackets, from large family residences to more affordable compact dwellings. This represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock (which stands at 88.0% houses), indicating a decline in available greenfield land and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and affordability pressures. The ratio of 2778 people per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-density development context of the suburb. Long-term forecasts indicate Blackalls Park will gain 312 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly calculations). Building activity is progressing at a moderate rate consistent with projected growth, though home buyers may face increased competition as the local population expands.

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 — 23 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,812 at the 2021 Census → 2,773 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 (SAL10389). 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 Blackalls 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 Blackalls 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 Blackalls 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 (May 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.
