Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Carlingford has an estimated population of around 30,210, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates and validated new addresses since the Census. When compared to the 2021 Census tally of 28,044 people, this represents an addition of 2,166 people (7.7%). This estimate stems from an AreaSearch resident population figure of 29,982 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, alongside 435 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. With a density of 3,541 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Carlingford ranks in the upper quartile across nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
Its 7.7% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the state figure of 7.3%, establishing the area as a regional growth leader. Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating approximately 83.0% of recent population additions. For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, while drawing upon NSW State Government SA2 projections issued in 2022 with a 2021 base year for any remaining locations. Projected growth rates across age brackets from these data sets are also applied across all areas between 2032 and 2041. Over the coming years, population growth in the suburb of Carlingford is projected to track slightly under the median of statistical regions reviewed by AreaSearch. Aggregated SA2-level figures anticipate an increase of 3,615 persons to 2041, which amounts to a total gain of 11.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,215 new dwellings have been approved in Carlingford over the past five years, an average of 243 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 279 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 16% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 467, 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
ABS building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries indicate that Carlingford registers approximately 243 residential approvals per year. Across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an estimated 1,215 dwellings received approval, including 467 during FY-25 to date. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 1.2 incoming residents arrived for each newly approved dwelling, pointing to balanced supply and demand alongside stable conditions, with average expected construction costs standing at $513,000 per home. In addition, $1.4 million in commercial development approvals during the current financial year underlines a largely residential focus.
Residential building approvals consist of 16.0% detached houses and 84.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density stock creates accessible entry points while serving downsizers, entry-level purchasers, and investors. This pattern marks a distinct shift from existing housing stock (currently 58.0% houses), reflecting limited development land availability, evolving lifestyle preferences, and rising requirements for varied and affordable housing. With approximately 68 people per approval, Carlingford demonstrates the characteristics of a growing community. Demographic forecasts point to Carlingford gaining 3,387 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction trajectories suggest that future housing supply will comfortably accommodate demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting population expansion ahead of projected numbers.

16,650 residents of Carlingford are employed, from a labour force of 17,025. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 70.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 23,986, about 79% 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
Carlingford features a highly qualified labor force with significant concentration in the technology sector, accompanied by a low 2.2% unemployment rate and estimated 3.5% employment growth across the previous year per AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 16,650, while the local jobless rate sits 1.9% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Labor force participation closely mirrors the 68.9% benchmark of Greater Sydney. According to Census records, 51.1% of local workers operated from home, though Covid-19 lockdown restrictions during that period must be noted. Health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training represent the primary industries of employment for local residents.
In contrast, construction constitutes only 7.3% of resident employment relative to 8.6% across the wider region. Census figures comparing the resident labor force with local workplace jobs indicate that the neighborhood offers limited local employment opportunities due to its primarily residential nature. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM data across broader statistical boundaries indicates that over the twelve months to March 2026, local employment grew by 3.5% while the labor force expanded by 3.2%, reducing unemployment by 0.3 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment increased by 1.9%, the labor force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future demand across Carlingford when applied to the local workforce structure across five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variation across industries. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Carlingford's employment distribution suggests local job numbers could rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (note that this is an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized 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 — 435 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (28,044 at the 2021 Census → 30,210 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.
