This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Cartwright has an estimated 2,744 residents, up from 2,616 at the 2021 Census — a change of 128 people, or 4.9%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. That puts 2,858 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 demographic assessments of ABS regional updates, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Cartwright's population is estimated at around 2,744 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 128 people (4.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,616 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,726, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 9 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,858 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Cartwright's 4.9% growth since census positions it within 2.2 percentage points of the state (7.1%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 57.99999999999999% of overall population gains during recent periods. For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch adopts projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, utilising 2022 as the starting year. Where these are unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 base are implemented instead. The age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are also mapped to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, future growth is anticipated to outpace the median of statistical areas tracked by AreaSearch, with the local population projected to expand by 511 individuals by 2041 under these consolidated SA2 figures, representing an overall increase of 18.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Cartwright over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, broadly in line with 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's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from wider statistical boundaries, Cartwright averages approximately 9 approved residential properties annually. This totals an estimated 47 housing approvals across the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 8 during the current FY-26 period. Assuming an average occupancy of 2.2 new residents per year per household over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), indicating healthy demand that bolsters local real estate values, newly constructed dwellings carry a mean value of $265,000. This is below typical regional benchmarks, offering more budget-friendly options for prospective buyers.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $506,000 have been logged during the current financial year, pointing to a predominantly residential orientation. In comparison to Greater Sydney, construction activity in Cartwright is notably subdued, running at 52.0% below the regional average per capita. Such limited supply additions typically help sustain demand and support prices for existing properties. This volume is also below the country-wide average, reflecting a fully developed area and hinting at potential planning barriers. Of the properties built recently, 50.0% are detached houses while the remaining 50.0% comprise medium and high-density dwellings. This balance toward compact housing formats provides cheaper entry points and draws downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers alike. With approximately 679 people for every single approved dwelling, Cartwright represents an exceptionally mature property market. Long-term forecasts suggest Cartwright will add 493 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction volumes persist, the supply of new housing may fail to match population expansion, which could intensify competition among purchasers and drive more robust price appreciation.

668 residents of Cartwright are employed, from a labour force of 847. Unemployment sits at 21.1%, with participation at 39.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,432, about 89% 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
Cartwright has a diverse labor market comprising both professional and manual employment fields, with strong representation in critical public sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 21.1% and an estimated 0.8% increase in employment over the past year, according to AreaSearch's consolidated data. As of March 2026, there are 668 working residents, though the local unemployment rate sits 17.0% higher than the Greater Sydney mark of 4.1%, showing room for improvement, and workforce participation remains low at 39.6% compared to the regional figure of 69.1%. Census records show a moderate 15.1% of the workforce worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, manufacturing, and transport, postal & warehousing. The community demonstrates a high concentration in manufacturing, where the employment share is 2.4 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minimal footprint, accounting for just 2.5% of jobs compared to 11.5% across the wider region. This mostly residential locality seems to provide few local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the number of working residents to the local workforce size. According to AreaSearch's compilation of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region, the past 12 months saw local employment rise by 0.8% while the labor force grew by 2.3%, resulting in a 1.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and a labor force expansion of 1.9%, while its unemployment rate decreased slightly. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context regarding future employment trends. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce makeup to project potential patterns. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce suggests Cartwright's employment count would rise by 6.0% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for comparison that 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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,616 at the 2021 Census → 2,744 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.
