Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader Australian Bureau of Statistics population revisions with new post-Census validated addresses, the suburb of Chifley (NSW) has an estimated Aug 2026 population of approximately 3,606. This indicates a 116-person gain (3.3%) from the 3,490 residents counted in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch deduced this progression starting from the 3,594 resident count derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 21 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With 3,401 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Chifley (NSW) sits in the top national quartile for population density.
Over the prior ten years, the suburb achieved a 0.7% compound annual growth rate, outpacing the wider SA3 territory, with overseas migration serving as the principal driver by generating around 83.0% of recent population additions. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 (taking 2022 as baseline), turning to 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling (with a 2021 base year) wherever gaps exist. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these datasets are extended across all areas for 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Chifley (NSW) is projected to align with the bottom quartile of national statistical regions, anticipated to add 136 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 figures, representing an overall expansion of 3.4% across the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
134 new dwellings have been approved in Chifley (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 7.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Statistical area allocations of ABS residential approvals assessed by AreaSearch indicate that Chifley records roughly 26 dwelling approvals per year, totaling approximately 134 approved homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 9 approved during FY-25 to date. Over that 5 financial years window (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of just 0.4 incoming residents per completed dwelling arrived annually, meaning residential additions comfortably satisfy local demand, broadening buyer options and allowing scope for higher-than-expected population intake. New residential builds carry an average construction value of $626,000, marginally exceeding regional benchmarks to indicate an emphasis on premium builds.
Concurrently, non-residential approvals stand at $72,000 this financial year, underscoring an overwhelmingly residential construction landscape. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Chifley surpasses Greater Sydney by 177.0%, expanding opportunities for purchasers despite a recent moderation in construction volume. The construction pipeline is heavily weighted toward medium-to-high density, with detached houses accounting for 15.0% and townhouses or apartments comprising 85.0%. This orientation toward compact living delivers more accessible price points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. It marks a clear departure from the standing housing stock (59.0% separate houses), signaling constrained land for broadscale development alongside shifting lifestyle requirements for versatile housing types. A ratio of around 447 people per residential approval reflects a developed, mature market. Longer-term projections indicate Chifley will add 124 residents up to 2041, measured from the latest quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. In light of prevailing construction volumes, new residential development is well positioned to comfortably accommodate incoming demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

1,777 residents of Chifley (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 1,897. Unemployment sits at 6.3%, with participation at 65.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,122, about 87% 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
A highly qualified labor force characterizes Chifley, highlighted by prominent representation across professional services, a 6.3% jobless rate, and estimated annual jobs growth of 2.2%, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,777, with unemployment sitting 2.2% above Greater Sydney's 4.1% mark and labor market engagement trailing slightly at 65.6% versus the metropolitan standard of 68.9%. Census records indicate that 41.6% of workers carried out their duties from home, an outcome potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The construction sector shows exceptional strength locally, employing residents at 1.5 times the regional proportion. Conversely, professional & technical occupations are less prevalent, engaging 8.3% of workers in Chifley relative to 11.5% throughout Greater Sydney. Given the balance between working locals and resident counts in Census figures, this primarily residential locality offers relatively few employment positions within its own boundaries. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM statistical series reveal that over the 12-month span, jobs expanded by 2.2% while the total workforce grew by 1.7%, driving a 0.4 percentage points drop in unemployment. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion in the labor force, and a slight decrease in jobless rates. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 provide benchmark context for future demand. When nationwide projections of 6.6% growth across five years and 13.7% across ten years are weighted against the local occupational composition, Chifley's employment base is projected to increase by 6.8% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (offered as an unadjusted industry-weighted illustration without factoring localized population adjustments).

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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,490 at the 2021 Census → 3,606 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.
