Of the 57 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 60% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 69, broadly in line with that longer-run average.

Detail

Thus far in FY-26, 64 approvals have been documented.

In addition, commercial approvals reached $12.0 million this financial year, pointing to steady non-residential development.

Standalone houses comprise 60.0% of the new construction, while semi-detached and attached buildings make up 40.0%, offering a broad mix of townhouses and apartments to suit different budgets, from family residences to affordable compact units. This construction pattern is more heavily weighted toward detached housing than the existing mix (which stood at 39.0% at the Census), highlighting persistent demand for family homes despite density trends.

The working-day population is estimated at 18,616, about 87% 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 local workforce is characterized by strong representation in industrial and manufacturing fields, showing a 6.3% unemployment rate and an estimated 5.0% employment growth over the past year based on AreaSearch compilations. As of March 2026, there are 9,501 working residents, though unemployment is 2.2% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and workforce participation is notably lower at 54.2% compared to the metropolitan average of 69.1%. Census records show a moderate 18.3% of residents working from home, though this period was influenced by pandemic-related restrictions. Manufacturing, retail trade, and healthcare & social assistance represent the primary employment sectors for local residents.

The concentration of workers in manufacturing is particularly high, reaching 2.9 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for only 4.8% of employment compared to 11.5% across the region. The comparison between the local Census working population and resident population suggests that this largely residential area offers limited local jobs. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS data indicate that in the 12 months leading up to March 2026, employment grew by 5.0% while the labor force expanded by 5.1%, maintaining a steady unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor force growth both at 1.9%, with a slight decline in unemployment. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future employment demand. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with local industries to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with significant variation across sectors. Applying these projections to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents should grow by 5.4% over five years and 11.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (21,142 at the 2021 Census → 21,426 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 (SAL10738). 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 Cabramatta 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 Cabramatta 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 Cabramatta 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 (Jul 2026) 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.
