Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Cambridge Park has an estimated population of around 7,560, derived from AreaSearch evaluating broader regional ABS updates alongside 34 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. This represents an addition of 506 people (7.2%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 7,054 people, aligning with the resident population figure of 7,534 determined after AreaSearch reviewed the ABS June 2025 ERP release. With a density ratio of 2,885 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Cambridge Park sits in the upper quartile among national areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the locality outperformed the wider SA4 region (6.3%) with its 7.2% expansion since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a local growth frontrunner where natural growth served as the main catalyst, generating approximately 74.0% of recent population increases. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are implemented by AreaSearch for SA2 territories, while NSW State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2022 (anchored to a 2021 base year) cover remaining locations, with age-cohort rates extended from 2032 to 2041. Over looking forward demographic patterns, the suburb of Cambridge Park is anticipated to experience expansion just below the median of national statistical benchmarks, adding 681 persons leading up to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level figures and achieving an overall rise of 8.7% throughout the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
187 new dwellings have been approved in Cambridge Park over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 32 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 78% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 38, 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
Building approval data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that residential planning permissions in Cambridge Park average around 37 properties each year, totaling an estimated 187 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 38 approvals logged to date in FY-25. An influx averaging 2.7 people per year per completed home across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) underscores steady residential demand that underpins property values, while newly approved dwellings feature an average expected construction cost of $269,000, sitting below regional benchmarks and providing relatively affordable options.
Meanwhile, non-residential development remains subdued, with commercial approvals totaling $2.3 million this financial year. Per capita construction volumes in Cambridge Park track at roughly three-quarters of the Greater Sydney pace, placing the suburb in the 71st percentile nationwide following an acceleration in building in recent years. The current pipeline heavily preserves traditional suburban neighborhood form with spacious family accommodation, consisting of 78.0% detached houses alongside 22.0% townhouses or apartments. With approximately 170 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-area dynamics. Projections from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate that Cambridge Park will expand by 655 residents by 2041. Given ongoing building rates, residential supply appears well-positioned to satisfy housing requirements, establishing supportive terms for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current outlooks.

3,750 residents of Cambridge Park are employed, from a labour force of 3,960. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 66.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,933, about 78% 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 workforce in Cambridge Park exhibits a balanced mix across blue- and white-collar roles, highlighted by substantial representation in the construction sector, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.3% according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, employed residents stand at 3,750, with joblessness tracking 1.2% above the 4.1% mark in Greater Sydney, and labor participation sitting slightly below standard benchmarks at 66.3% versus 68.9% regionally. Furthermore, Census returns recorded 25.1% of workers operating from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Local resident employment centers largely on health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Specialization is especially pronounced in construction, where local representation is 1.4 times the regional proportion, whereas professional & technical disciplines are comparatively sparse, engaging just 3.9% of local workers relative to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census working population against resident counts highlights that this primarily suburban district offers limited local job openings. According to AreaSearch synthesis of ABS and SALM figures across the 12 months to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 2.5% and employment dropped by 2.7%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage points increase in unemployment. Conversely, Greater Sydney saw employment and the labour force both expand by 1.9%, accompanied by a marginal drop in unemployment. Looking at future hiring trends, Jobs and Skills Australia released national forecasts from Mar-26 anticipating 6.6% expansion over five years and 13.7% across ten years, with sectoral outcomes varying widely. Applying these industry weightings to Cambridge Park's workforce distribution suggests potential local employment increases of 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, noting that this simple weighting extrapolation serves illustrative purposes without factoring in localized demographic growth.

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 — 34 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,054 at the 2021 Census → 7,560 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 (SAL10767). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
