This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Planning and building records show that no new residential dwellings received approval across Breakfast Point throughout the past five-year period. This absence of pipeline activity highlights a mature, built-out urban environment where opportunities for fresh construction are constrained. Such restricted supply conditions typically underpin steady buyer demand for existing stock and help reinforce property value stability. Residential construction volumes in Breakfast Point track substantially lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark. This tightly constrained flow of new additions tends to reinforce market demand and valuation levels for existing dwellings. Construction levels also remain lower than the national average, reflecting an established urban footprint alongside potential development limitations.

2,726 residents of Breakfast Point are employed, from a labour force of 2,775. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 66.5%. 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 3,591, 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
The employment landscape in Breakfast Point reflects a well-educated population with a notable presence of professionals in service sectors, while unemployment stands at 1.8% according to aggregated AreaSearch statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,726 residents are employed, and the local unemployment rate of 2.4% falls 2.4% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is slightly lower than the regional norm, standing at 66.5% compared to Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census data indicates that 57.5% of residents worked from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic-era lockdown conditions.
Major sectors employing local residents comprise professional & technical, health care & social assistance, alongside education & training. The suburb exhibits a notable concentration in rental, hiring & real estate, capturing an employment share 2.5 times the regional average. Conversely, retail trade accounts for only 6.3% of the local workforce, lagging behind Greater Sydney's 9.3%. Comparisons between the Census working population and resident counts indicate that this predominantly residential locality generates limited on-site employment opportunities. Evaluation of ABS and SALM data over the recent 12-month period indicates a 1.9% contraction in both employment and the overall labour force, while unemployment held steady. By comparison, Greater Sydney registered 1.9% growth in employment, a 1.9% expansion in its labour force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. Industry demand forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce prospects. Nationally, employment is projected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these sector trends to the specific workforce profile of Breakfast Point projects local employment gains of 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, based on illustrative weighting 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,678 at the 2021 Census → 4,710 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 Aug 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.
