DemographicsPopulation Growth in Bondi

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

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.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bondi

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

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.

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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL10462). 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 Bondi 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 Bondi 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 Bondi 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 (Oct 2025) 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.
