Detail
Evaluating updates to census data for the surrounding region along with newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census points to the suburb of Cameron Park having an estimated population of 10,424 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 447 individuals (4.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 9,977 people. The calculation relies on a resident population estimate of 10,397 by AreaSearch, derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release and 213 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such a population size yields a density of 855 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical values observed across regions analyzed by AreaSearch.
Over the last ten years, the suburb of Cameron Park has shown steady expansion with a compound annual growth rate of 3.2%, which is faster than the SA4 region. Recent growth in the area was mostly fueled by interstate migration, representing approximately 71.0% of the overall population rise, though other components such as natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 region published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline by the ABS and Geoscience Australia are utilized by AreaSearch. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Age bracket growth rates from these datasets are projected forward for all areas from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic outlooks indicate remarkable expansion, ranking in the top 10 percent of regional areas nationwide, with the suburb of Cameron Park projected to add 5,044 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a 48.1% overall expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
419 new dwellings have been approved in Cameron Park over the past five years, an average of 83 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 77 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 66% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 31, 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
According to AreaSearch reviews of ABS residential building approvals distributed from local statistical data, Cameron Park has recorded an average of roughly 83 new home approvals annually. This totals an estimated 419 dwellings approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 29 during the current FY-26. Given that an average of 1.8 new occupants have arrived per new dwelling annually over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand matches supply closely to maintain a balanced market, with new homes showing an average building value of $379,000.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $50.6 million in the current financial year, pointing to strong local business investment. Recent residential building activity consists of 66.0% detached houses and 34.0% semi-detached properties or apartments. This growing share of medium-density choices offers diverse housing options at multiple price levels, ranging from family residences to cheaper compact homes. This represents a significant shift from the current residential stock (where houses make up 96.0%), showing a drop in available development sites and reflecting modern lifestyle trends along with a demand for more varied, affordable housing. The region has approximately 256 people per dwelling approval, showing a low density market. Looking forward, the population is projected to expand by 5,017 occupants up to 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Should the current pace of construction persist, the supply of housing might fail to meet the population demand, which could heighten buyer competition and help drive stronger property price growth.

5,650 residents of Cameron Park are employed, from a labour force of 5,859. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 74.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 highly skilled, showing strong representation in crucial service industries and an unemployment rate of only 3.6%, according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 5,650 employed locals, while the unemployment rate sits 0.5% lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, and participation in the workforce is exceptionally high (74.6% compared with 60.6% for Regional NSW). Census details indicate a moderate 22.3% of the working population performed their duties from home, though the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions should be taken into account.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. There is a strong concentration in health care & social assistance, which occupies a share 1.2 times that of the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, accounting for 0.3% of workers compared to the regional average of 5.3%. Although local employment is available, a comparison of Census worker counts to the local population suggests a large portion of residents travel to other areas for work. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data by AreaSearch reveals that over the 12-month period, the size of the labour force contracted by 3.0% and total employment fell by 4.4%, resulting in a rise in the unemployment rate by 1.3 percentage points. During the same timeframe, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in employment and a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, with the unemployment rate rising by 0.5 percentage points. Future demand trends in the area can be interpreted through national employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These estimates, looking five and ten years ahead, are compared to local workforce data to project future growth. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely across industries. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce distribution suggests employment in the area could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (note that this is a direct weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population 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 — 213 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,977 at the 2021 Census → 10,424 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 (SAL10774). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
