Sales Detail
Camperdown (NSW) has an estimated 10,772 residents, up from 9,381 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,391 people, or 14.8%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years, faster than 84% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 91.0% of that increase. That puts 7,181 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
Based on evaluation of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident population of the suburb of Camperdown (NSW) is estimated to be approximately 10,772 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 1,391 people (14.8%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 9,381 people. This change is inferred from the resident population of 10,772, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 46 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 7,181 persons per square kilometer, which lies in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, making land in the area a highly-sought resource. The 14.8% growth in the suburb of Camperdown (NSW) since the 2021 census exceeded the state (7.1%), along with the Greater Sydney, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 91.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Anticipating future population dynamics, a significant population increase in the top quartile of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is forecast, with the suburb of Camperdown (NSW) expected to expand by 2,453 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting with an increase of 22.8% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
56 new dwellings have been approved in Camperdown (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 1.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, running ahead of 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 analysis of ABS building approvals assigned from statistical area data, approximately 11 new homes have been approved per year in the local area. This totals an estimated 56 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 16 so far in FY-26. With an average of 6.3 people moving to the area for each home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new supply is lagging behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices.
Additionally, new properties are built with an average value of $705,000, indicating developers are targeting the high-end segment of the market. Furthermore, $1.1 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, pointing to a primarily residential focus. Of the new residential projects, 33.0% are detached houses and 67.0% comprise medium and high-density dwellings. This concentration of smaller footprints provides affordable entry options and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. Notably, developers are constructing a higher proportion of detached houses than the historical mix suggests (3.0% at Census), demonstrating sustained interest in family homes despite the trend toward higher density. The location averages about 2140 people per dwelling approval, showing a mature property market. Looking forward, the local population is projected to grow by 2,453 residents through to 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of homes may fall short of population growth, which could heighten competition among buyers and underpin stronger price growth.

7,331 residents of Camperdown (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 7,576. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 74.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,001, about 139% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 area is characterised by a highly qualified workforce, with the technology sector being exceptionally well represented. Based on AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data, the unemployment rate stands at just 3.2%, and employment grew by an estimated 1.3% over the past year. In March 2026, 7,331 residents were employed, representing an unemployment rate 0.9% lower than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 74.9% compared to 69.1% for Greater Sydney. Census responses indicated that a high 59.9% of residents worked from home, although this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area is highly specialised in professional & technical services, with its share of employment reaching 1.6 times the regional level. In contrast, construction shows lower representation at 3.6% compared to the regional average of 8.6%. With 1.5 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, the area acts as an employment hub, hosting more jobs than it has residents and drawing workers from neighbouring districts. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data from broader statistical areas, during the year ending March 2026, the number of employed residents grew by 1.3% and the labour force expanded by 0.7%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labour force expansion of 1.9%, with only a minimal decline. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped to the local industry profile to estimate future growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local employment mix suggests employment in the area will expand by 7.5% over five years and 15.0% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population projections).

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 — 46 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,381 at the 2021 Census → 10,772 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 (SAL10780). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
