Detail
In the suburb of Cabramatta West, the population is estimated at roughly 7,909 as of Aug 2026, calculated by AreaSearch through evaluation of regional ABS updates alongside new addresses verified following the Census. Compared to the 7,822 individuals documented in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 87 people (1.1%). This progression draws on an estimated resident population of 7,889 determined by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP figures, combined with 19 validated new addresses registered post-Census. With a density of 4,321 persons per square kilometer, the locality sits within the highest 10% of areas assessed nationwide by AreaSearch, underscoring intense demand for residential land.
Growth over the previous decade has remained steady, generating a 0.7% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the broader SA3 territory. Inflow from abroad served as the core growth catalyst, accounting for roughly 69.0% of recent population additions. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 divisions, with NSW State Government projections (released in 2022 using 2021 as a base) utilized wherever gaps exist. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these datasets are projected forward for 2032 through 2041. Over the coming years, population expansion in the suburb of Cabramatta West is projected to track within the lower quartile of regions monitored by AreaSearch, adding 180 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, representing an overall increase of 2.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
220 new dwellings have been approved in Cabramatta West over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That is 5.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 44 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 66% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 45, broadly in line with 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
ABS building approval statistics compiled by AreaSearch indicate that roughly 44 residential dwellings have gained planning consent annually in Cabramatta West, amounting to approximately 220 homes throughout the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 45 approvals have been documented. An average of 0.1 persons per annum moved to the locality per completed dwelling across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, signaling that incoming supply matches or outpaces local demand to afford buyers ample selection and enable growth above official forecasts. Newly planned homes reflect an average construction cost of $451,000, aligning with regional standards, while $1.0 million in commercial approvals recorded during the current financial year underscores a strong residential orientation.
Residential development in Cabramatta West outpaces the Greater Sydney average on a per-capita basis by 26.0% across the 5 year period, sustaining healthy options for purchasers while helping reinforce established asset values. Approvals comprise 66.0% detached dwellings alongside 34.0% attached dwellings, highlighting an emerging pipeline of medium-density formats that widen choices across diverse price points between classic houses and compact dwellings. This distribution marks a notable evolution from the existing built environment (where 86.0% are houses), driven by site scarcity and evolving consumer preferences regarding price and lifestyle. Reflecting a low density setting, development averages around 205 people per approval. Projections indicate that Cabramatta West will gain 160 residents by 2041, measured against the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction trajectories suggest that future residential supply will comfortably absorb projected demand, maintaining favourable market conditions for purchasers and creating capacity for population increases beyond baseline expectations.

3,249 residents of Cabramatta West are employed, from a labour force of 3,523. Unemployment sits at 7.8%, with participation at 53.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,356, about 80% 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
Cabramatta West maintains an established workforce featuring strong participation in industrial and manufacturing activities, an unemployment rate of 7.8%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 4.5% according to AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, 3,249 locals are employed; however, the local unemployment rate sits 3.6% above the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, while labor force participation (53.3%) trails the Greater Sydney mark of 68.9%. Census records show 24.8% of workers operating from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 health directives. Local workers are primarily engaged across manufacturing, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
Manufacturing shows substantial local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 2.8 times the broader metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical occupations represent just 4.9% of local employment compared to 11.5% regionally. Comparing Census figures for working residents against local jobs highlights that the neighborhood functions mainly as a residential dormitory with limited internal job opportunities. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM records, the preceding 12-month period saw local employment rise by 4.5% while the labor pool expanded by 4.4%, reducing unemployment by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment increased by 1.9%, the labor force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment registered a slight drop. National forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide useful indicators for prospective labor demand. Over five-year and ten-year horizons, overall Australian employment is projected to expand by 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though outcomes vary across sectors. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local industry profile suggests employment for Cabramatta West residents could grow by 5.5% over five years and 12.1% over ten years (a basic illustrative modeling exercise that does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,822 at the 2021 Census → 7,909 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL10739). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
