Sales Detail
Camden Park (NSW) has an estimated 2,223 residents. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 94% of areas nationally. That puts 214 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic updates alongside validated post-Census address additions, the suburb of Camden Park (NSW) records an estimated population of approximately 2,223 as of Aug 2026. This indicates a contraction of 10 people (0.4%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,233 people. This trend is derived from an Estimated Resident Population of 2,222 established via the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 9 newly confirmed addresses post-dating the Census. Accounting for land area, population density stands at 214 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial space per resident and room for potential future development.
In recent times, population additions were predominantly supported by overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 64.0% of net demographic increases. Projections for the suburb of Camden Park (NSW) apply ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (benchmarked to 2022), supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2022 (benchmarked to 2021) wherever necessary. Age-specific trajectory rates from these sources are integrated across the 2032 to 2041 horizon. Looking ahead, demographic progression is projected to sit within the lower quartile of AreaSearch-monitored regions, expanding by 22 persons to 2041 under SA2-level aggregation, which equates to an overall gain of 0.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Camden Park (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 4.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, well below 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Camden Park sees roughly 9 dwellings approved for construction each year, totaling approximately 47 residential approvals across the preceding 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), with 1 recorded to date in FY-25. Amid recent demographic softening, residential development appears well matched with market requirements, giving purchasers ample selection. Approved residences show an average building cost of $558,000—somewhat higher than regional norms—underscoring a standard of premium construction. Non-residential building activity includes $928,000 in commercial development approvals during the current financial year, highlighting the suburb's predominantly residential character.
Of recent building activity, standalone houses account for 67.0% and attached residences make up 33.0%, with townhomes and units introducing varied alternatives suitable for both larger households and compact, cost-effective living. This marks a noticeable shift from the existing fabric of 98.0% houses, prompted by tighter land availability while accommodating changing resident lifestyles and price considerations. Furthermore, a ratio of 2229 people per residential approval underscores a calm, modest pace of construction activity. Demographic projections suggest Camden Park will add 21 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. Under current building volumes, incoming residential development is positioned to readily satisfy incoming demand, creating favorable market dynamics for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion past baseline forecasts.

1,408 residents of Camden Park (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 1,419. Unemployment sits at 0.8%, with participation at 82.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,710, about 77% 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 labour market in Camden Park is characterised by a capable workforce with strong participation in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of just 0.8% and year-on-year employment growth estimated at 6.7% through AreaSearch statistical area modeling. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,408, with unemployment tracking 3.4% beneath the 4.1% seen across Greater Sydney, alongside an elevated participation rate of 82.8% versus the broader metropolitan figure of 68.9%. Census records also showed 35.4% working remotely from home, a metric influenced by pandemic-related movement restrictions. Resident employment centers primarily within education & training, construction, as well as health care & social assistance.
Local representation in education & training is especially strong, standing at 1.6 times regional levels. Conversely, the professional & technical sector captures only 5.5% of workers compared to 11.5% across the wider region. When comparing local workforce counts from the Census against resident worker figures, the district provides a modest volume of internal jobs. Drawing on ABS and Small Area Labour Markets data, the preceding 12-month span delivered a 6.7% expansion in jobs and a 6.8% increase in the labour pool, leaving local unemployment effectively unchanged. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, labour force gains of 1.9%, and a slight drop in unemployment. Broader labor outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce trajectories. Projecting these industry-level expectations across local worker profiles indicates employment increases of 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, compared to nationwide forecasts of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively (calculated as a baseline structural weighting for demonstration without local demographic 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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,233 at the 2021 Census → 2,223 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.
