Sales Detail
Bondi has an estimated 11,002 residents, up from 10,411 at the 2021 Census — a change of 591 people, or 5.7%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 78.0% of that increase. That puts 12,793 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
Recent assessments of ABS demographic data combined with updated addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census show the suburb of Bondi has a population of approximately 11,002 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 591 individuals (5.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,411 residents. This adjustment is based on a resident population estimate of 11,001 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an additional 41 validated new addresses following the Census. Consequently, the local density stands at 12,793 persons per square kilometer, placing it within the top 10% of all areas analysed nationwide by AreaSearch and highlighting the high demand for local land.
The 5.7% expansion rate in the suburb of Bondi since the 2021 census marginally outpaced the wider SA3 region (5.6%), positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. The main driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 78.0% of the total demographic gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which use 2022 as their starting point, for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are substituted. Age-specific growth trends derived from these sources are projected forward to the period from 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, growth is predicted to align with the lowest national quartile, with the suburb of Bondi projected to add 297 residents by 2041 under these combined SA2 models, representing an overall rise of 2.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
71 new dwellings have been approved in Bondi over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of building approvals from the ABS indicates that Bondi averages approximately 14 approved new dwellings each year, with 71 approvals granted over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 45 registered during FY-26 so far. With an average influx of 3.7 new residents annually for every completed home during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), supply remains far behind local demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and elevates prices. Approved residences carry an average construction value of $1,490,000, showing that developers are prioritizing high-end, luxury builds.
Additionally, commercial approvals reached $3.7 million this financial year, reflecting a quiet period for business-related construction. Bondi exhibits substantially lower levels of residential construction compared to Greater Sydney, tracking 55.0% below the metropolitan per capita average. This lack of fresh housing supply generally bolsters demand and valuations for existing properties, even though building approvals have risen recently. The volume is also below national benchmarks, pointing to the mature state of the local area and potential regulatory constraints. Recent approvals consist of 44.0% freestanding houses and 56.0% medium to high-density builds. This shift toward denser housing options offers more affordable entry points and suits downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. Interestingly, the proportion of traditional houses under construction exceeds their representation in the existing housing stock (7.0% at the Census), revealing sustained appetite for single-family residences despite pressure for higher density. There are approximately 488 residents for every dwelling approved, typical of a fully established locality. Long-term forecasts indicate that Bondi will add 296 inhabitants by 2041, according to the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. If the current pace of development persists, the incoming housing supply should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially helping population levels exceed current growth projections.

7,544 residents of Bondi are employed, from a labour force of 7,784. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 79.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,948, about 72% 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 workforce living in Bondi is highly qualified, with a notable concentration of employees in the technology sector, an unemployment rate of just 3.1%, and annual job growth estimated at 2.1% according to aggregated regional statistics from AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,544, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.0% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is exceptionally high at 79.5% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 60.7% of working residents operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions.
Local employment is largely centered in professional and technical services, financial and insurance services, and healthcare and social assistance. The area is highly specialized in professional and technical services, representing 1.8 times the share seen across the broader metropolitan area. Conversely, healthcare and social assistance accounts for only 10.2% of the local workforce, compared to 14.1% in Greater Sydney. The imbalance between the working population and local jobs suggests this is a predominantly residential suburb with few local employers. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 2.1% and the labor force grow by 2.0%, which reduced the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. Over the same timeframe in Greater Sydney, employment grew by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and the unemployment rate decreased slightly. Projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional context on future labor needs in Bondi. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential expansion. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will perform differently. Applying these industry trends to the local occupational profile suggests employment in Bondi could rise by 7.4% over five years and 14.6% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that excludes local demographic projections.

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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,411 at the 2021 Census → 11,002 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.
