Sales Detail
Cardiff South has an estimated 2,987 residents, up from 2,931 at the 2021 Census — a change of 56 people, or 1.9%. That puts 1,891 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
Drawing on data from ABS population revisions and recent home additions verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Cardiff South has a projected population of approximately 2,987 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 56 residents (1.9%) compared to the 2,931 individuals documented in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from a resident base of 2,979, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 15 verified new home addresses added post-Census. With this population level, the density stands at 1,890 persons per square kilometer, outstripping the typical national figure tracked by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Cardiff South's 1.9% post-Census expansion trails the SA3 region's 3.2% rise by 1.3 percentage points, indicating competitive local demand. Natural increase was the main demographic engine, accounting for roughly 52.0% of recent population expansion, though net interstate and overseas migration also contributed positively. AreaSearch incorporates projections for each SA2 region from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 areas where this dataset is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are substituted. Cohort-specific growth trajectories from these sources are mapped to all areas for the decades spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Cardiff South is expected to experience population expansion exceeding the median for non-metropolitan Australia, with aggregated SA2 models forecasting a rise of 484 residents by 2041, representing a cumulative 16-year increase of 15.9%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
48 new dwellings have been approved in Cardiff South over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 3.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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 evaluations of ABS building approval records mapped from local statistics, Cardiff South has averaged approximately 9 approved residential dwellings per year, compiling an estimated 48 new homes over the prior 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 3 building approvals have been logged. Given that only about 0.5 additional residents registered per built dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential supply is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, expanding opportunities for prospective purchasers and paving the way for population gains beyond current projections, while new homes average $395,000 in construction costs—slightly above regional averages—pointing to a focus on higher-quality builds.
Additionally, commercial development approvals valued at $4.2 million have been registered this fiscal year, reinforcing the predominantly residential profile of the neighborhood. Relative to the Rest of NSW, Cardiff South registers roughly 75% of the per capita construction volume and places in the 42nd percentile of all locations nationwide, indicating somewhat restricted options for buyers and boosting demand for existing housing stock. This volume also falls below the national benchmark, reflecting the mature nature of the local market and hinting at potential space constraints. Detached houses comprised 60.0% of recent builds, while townhouses or apartments made up the remaining 40.0%, with this rising proportion of medium-density options offering diverse entry points ranging from family layouts to compact, budget-friendly residences. This represents a marked departure from the historical configuration, which consists of 90.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and aligning with changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. The area averages roughly 397 residents for each approved dwelling, indicative of a mature suburb. Long-term projections indicate that Cardiff South is on track to add 476 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of new housing may fail to keep up with this influx, potentially intensifying competition among prospective buyers and underpinning stronger capital growth.

1,712 residents of Cardiff South are employed, from a labour force of 1,773. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 71.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,313, 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
Cardiff South is characterized by a qualified workforce with a strong presence in core service sectors, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.4% compiled by AreaSearch from local statistical indicators. As of March 2026, there are 1,712 employed locals, which keeps the jobless rate 0.7% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while local participation is exceptionally high at 71.6% compared to the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a moderate 19.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure reflects conditions during pandemic lockdowns. The primary employment fields for local workers are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Notably, the concentration of healthcare & social assistance workers is 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only a natural zero proportion of local jobs, failing to match the 5.3% share seen across Regional NSW. The mismatch between the census-recorded local workforce and the resident population highlights the suburb's residential focus and limited commercial employment footprint. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional datasets, the preceding 12-month period saw the workforce shrink by 0.9% and total employment drop by 2.1%, which drove the unemployment rate up by 1.2 percentage points. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a broader template for understanding future employment dynamics in Cardiff South. These models, extending across five-year and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix yields an estimated employment growth of 6.9% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local population fluctuations.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,931 at the 2021 Census → 2,987 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 (SAL10810). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
