Camden Park (NSW)

An assessment of population growth drivers in Camden Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

The population of Camden Park NSW, as estimated by AreaSearch based on ABS updates and new addresses validated since Nov 2025, is around 2,237. This shows an increase of 4 people from the 2021 Census figure of 2,233. The growth is inferred from a resident population estimate of 2,283 by AreaSearch, following examination of ABS's latest ERP data release in June 2024, and an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 215 persons per square kilometer. Overseas migration contributed approximately 64.0% to recent population gains.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2-level projections from 2022 with a base year of 2021 are used. Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, the suburb is expected to increase by 118 persons based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an overall increase of 7.6% over the 17-year period. Lower quartile growth trends are anticipated for Australian statistical areas moving forward.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Camden Park, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Camden Park experienced around 4 dwellings receiving development approval annually over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25. This totals an estimated 23 homes. So far in FY-26, 3 approvals have been recorded.

On average, 0.5 people moved to the area each year for each dwelling built during this period. The supply of new dwellings meets or exceeds demand, offering greater buyer choice and supporting potential population growth above projections. New homes are being built at an average construction cost value of $815,000, indicating a focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.

New development consists of 67.0% detached dwellings and 33.0% attached dwellings, offering choices across price ranges from spacious family homes to compact options. This marks a significant change from existing housing patterns, which are currently 98.0% houses, suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. The estimated count of 571 people in the area per dwelling approval reflects its quiet, low activity development environment. Looking ahead, Camden Park is expected to grow by 170 residents through to 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Present construction rates appear balanced with future demand, fostering steady market conditions without excessive price pressure.

Education & training had an employment share 1.6 times the regional level. However, professional & technical services were under-represented at 5.5%, compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. Employment opportunities locally may be limited, as indicated by the count of Census working population versus resident population. Over the 12 months to June 2025, employment increased by 5.4% while labour force increased by 5.1%, reducing the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 2.6% and labour force growth of 2.9%, with a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 suggest potential future demand within Camden Park. These projections estimate national employment growth at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth rates vary significantly between industry sectors. Applying these projections to Camden Park's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localised population projections.
