Sales Detail
Bondi Junction has an estimated 11,463 residents, up from 10,361 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,102 people, or 10.6%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. 532 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 89.0% of that increase. That puts 10,614 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
According to investigations of ABS demographic releases covering the surrounding region, alongside recent address validation performed by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Bondi Junction has an estimated population of 11,463 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,102 people (10.6%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 10,361 individuals. This adjustment is calculated from the resident population of 11,463, projected by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP numbers from June 2025 and 532 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such a population size translates to a density of 10,613 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of Australian regions analyzed by AreaSearch, highlighting the high demand for local land.
The 10.6% growth rate observed in the suburb of Bondi Junction since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (5.6%) and the state, positioning it as a regional growth leader. This expansion was mostly fueled by net overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 89.0% of the total demographic increase in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 districts, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For localities lacking this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government's 2022 release (using a 2021 baseline) are utilized. Projected growth distributions by age category from these data packages are likewise applied to all locations for the span from 2032 to 2041. Anticipating future trends, the suburb of Bondi Junction is set to experience population growth exceeding the national median, with numbers climbing by 1,645 individuals by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 14.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
353 new dwellings have been approved in Bondi Junction over the past five years, an average of 70 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 72 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 3% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. 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 compilation of ABS residential building approvals mapped from statistical regions, Bondi Junction has averaged approximately 70 annual dwelling approvals, accumulating to an estimated 353 residential units during the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 3 building permits have been logged. With an average occupancy of 2.4 new residents annually per approved dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, highlighting strong demand that supports local real estate values, new residential builds carry an average estimated construction cost of $777,000, illustrating a developer focus on high-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $46.5 million this financial year, pointing to strong local business investment. Compared to the wider Greater Sydney region, per capita development volume in Bondi Junction is 126.0% higher, offering purchasers a wide range of options. Recent construction approvals comprise 3.0% freestanding houses and 97.0% multi-unit structures like townhouses or apartments. This preference for higher-density housing provides affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 159 residents per building approval, Bondi Junction exhibits characteristics of a growing locality. Looking forward, Bondi Junction's population is projected to expand by 1,645 individuals by 2041, according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Provided current construction volumes persist, the incoming supply of new housing is positioned to satisfy local demand, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accelerating growth beyond current demographic forecasts.

Sydney Light Rail Bondi Junction to Bondi Beach Extension
A long-term aspirational proposal to extend the Sydney Light Rail network from Bondi Junction to Bondi Beach via the Bondi Road corridor. The concept dates back to a 2013 AECOM feasibility study commissioned by Waverley Council, which recommended Bondi Road as the preferred alignment over Old South Head Road or a Birriga Road and Curlewis Street route. The project aims to address severe bus congestion on what has historically been one of NSW's busiest bus corridors and improve mass transit access to one of Australia's most visited beach destinations.As of 2026 the proposal remains unfunded and is not included in any current NSW Government transport plan or pipeline. Waverley Council's current People, Movement and Places transport vision through 2030 has shifted focus to bus priority measures along the Bondi Road corridor, a planned Bondi Junction Bus Interchange Upgrade, and a possible Junction-to-beach shuttle bus rather than rail. Renewed advocacy in 2025 from groups such as EcoTransit and via the Bondi Junction Vision and Master Plan project has kept the proposal in public discussion, but no business case, route reservation, or funding has been confirmed by Transport for NSW. NSW Government investment priorities for the Eastern Suburbs are currently centred on Sydney Metro West and Metro extensions elsewhere in the network, with no announced plans for a heavy rail or light rail extension serving Bondi Beach.
7,498 residents of Bondi Junction are employed, from a labour force of 7,759. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 74.9%. 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 12,459, about 109% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Bondi Junction benefits from a highly credentialed local workforce, particularly within the technology sector, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.4% and an estimated annual job growth rate of 2.7%, according to AreaSearch's compilation of regional statistics. As of March 2026, there are 7,498 employed locals, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.8% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation stands exceptionally high at 74.9% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 57.6%, worked from home, although this figure was likely influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment fields for local residents are professional & technical services, financial & insurance services, and healthcare & social assistance. The community displays a strong specialization in professional & technical services, representing 1.6 times the share seen across the wider region. Conversely, industrial manufacturing is underrepresented, employing 2.4% of the local workforce compared to 5.7% throughout Greater Sydney. A ratio of 0.9 employed persons for every local resident at the time of the Census points to significant job availability within the immediate area. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated by AreaSearch from broader geographic divisions shows that over the 12-month period, employment expanded by 2.7% and the total labor force grew by 2.4%, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. During the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded job growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a minor decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context regarding future occupational demand in Bondi Junction. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future employment trajectories. Nationally, overall employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth trajectories vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local workforce mix suggests that employment among residents is projected to rise by 7.4% over five years and 14.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for comparison that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 532 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,361 at the 2021 Census → 11,463 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 (SAL10465). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
