Breakfast Point has an estimated 4,681 residents. That puts 9,002 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 ABS demographic data and AreaSearch address validations since the Census, the suburb of Breakfast Point has an estimated population of 4,681 as of May 2026. This represents a minor rise of 3 individuals (0.1%) from the 4,678 residents documented during the 2021 Census. This calculation stems from the AreaSearch estimate of 4,676 residents, which was derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release and 2 newly verified addresses added after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 9,001 people per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch and highlighting the high demand for local land.
Breakfast Point has maintained steady long-term growth with a 1.3% compound annual growth rate over the last ten years, exceeding the SA3 average. This expansion was largely fueled by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 83.0% of the net population increase in recent times. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 data from 2024 with a 2022 baseline. Where unavailable, 2022 NSW State Government SA2 projections starting from a 2021 baseline are substituted. Age group growth factors from these datasets are applied to local areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point to lower quartile growth relative to other areas assessed by AreaSearch. Aggregated SA2-level estimates indicate the local population will grow by 202 individuals by 2041, representing a total gain of 4.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals compiled from ABS statistical area data indicate that Breakfast Point has experienced minimal construction activity, with an estimated total of 3 home approvals over the preceding 5 financial years. Throughout FY-26, no development approvals have been registered. Because the population decreased during this timeframe, the volume of building activity is considered relatively sufficient, presenting favorable conditions for purchasers. New construction in Breakfast Point is significantly lower than the broader Greater Sydney average. This restricted development pipeline typically supports both demand and valuations for existing properties.
The rate of building is also below the country's average, pointing to planning restrictions and the established nature of the suburb.

2,720 residents of Breakfast Point are employed, from a labour force of 2,769. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 66.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,563, about 76% 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
Data compiled by AreaSearch shows that Breakfast Point has a highly educated labor force, a strong concentration of professional workers, and an unemployment rate of only 1.8%. A total of 2,720 local workers are employed as of March 2026, with the unemployment rate tracking 2.4% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is slightly below the regional benchmark, sitting at 66.2% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 57.5% of the local workforce worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The suburb exhibits a high concentration of jobs in rental, hiring & real estate, representing 2.5 times the regional proportion. On the other hand, retail trade is underrepresented, accounting for 6.3% of local employment compared to the regional average of 9.3%. Given the difference between the Census working population and resident count, this mostly residential suburb appears to contain few local jobs. According to SALM and ABS statistics aggregated across wider regions, the local labor force contracted by 1.9% in the year leading up to March 2026, while total employment fell by 1.9%, keeping the unemployment rate steady. In contrast, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends for Breakfast Point. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying greatly by industry. Weighting these projections against the employment profile of Breakfast Point suggests local employment could grow by 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation without local population adjustments.

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,678 at the 2021 Census → 4,681 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 (SAL10554). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
