Sales Detail
Chinderah has an estimated 1,715 residents, up from 1,639 at the 2021 Census — a change of 76 people, or 4.6%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. That puts 115 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
According to investigations of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Chinderah has an estimated population of approximately 1,715 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 76 people (4.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 1,639 people. The variation is calculated from the resident population of 1,706, estimated by AreaSearch after analyzing the most recent ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 41 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population scale corresponds to a density ratio of 115 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial space per person and potential capacity for additional development. The 4.6% growth in the suburb of Chinderah since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (3.7%), as well as the SA3 area, making it a regional leader in growth. Population expansion in the area was chiefly driven by overseas migration, which served as the sole driver of population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas lacking this data, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published 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. Factoring in the expected demographic shifts, a substantial population rise in the top quartile of Australia's regional areas is predicted, with the area expected to grow by 421 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 24.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
48 new dwellings have been approved in Chinderah over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 5.8 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Chinderah has averaged approximately 9 new dwelling approvals annually, with an estimated 48 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 8 so far in FY-26. With an average of 1.3 new residents per year arriving per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply and demand seem well-balanced, yielding stable market conditions, although recent data indicates this has intensified to 3.6 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, suggesting growing popularity and a potential undersupply.
New properties are built at an average value of $1,037,000, illustrating a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties. Furthermore, $146.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, demonstrating high levels of local commercial activity. In comparison to Rest of NSW, Chinderah exhibits 90.0% higher new home approvals (per person), which should offer buyers plenty of choice, although building activity has slowed in recent years. New development is composed of 60.0% detached houses and 40.0% townhouses or apartments, indicating an expanding selection of medium-density options that create a mix of opportunities across price brackets, from traditional family housing to more affordable compact alternatives. At around 242 people per approval, Chinderah represents a low density area. Future projections indicate Chinderah adding 412 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current construction levels persist, housing supply could fall behind population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and supporting price growth.

633 residents of Chinderah are employed, from a labour force of 651. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 40.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,661, about 155% 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
Chinderah has a balanced workforce covering white and blue collar employment, with tourism and hospitality sectors prominently represented, an unemployment rate of just 2.8%, and 3.6% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026633 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.3% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation lags significantly (40.9% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a low 10.5% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The leading employment sectors among residents include construction, health care & social assistance, and accommodation & food. The area exhibits a particularly notable concentration in construction, with employment levels at 1.7 times the regional average. On the other hand, public administration & safety is under-represented, employing only 4.4% of Chinderah's workforce compared to 7.5% in Regional NSW. With 1.5 workers for every resident, as at the Census, the area functions as an employment hub, hosting more jobs than residents and attracting workers from surrounding areas. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment rose by 3.6% while the labour force expanded by 3.8%, causing the unemployment rate to increase by 0.2 percentage points. This compares to Regional NSW, where employment declined by 0.9%, the labour force contracted by 0.4%, and unemployment rose 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Chinderah. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Chinderah's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,639 at the 2021 Census → 1,715 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.
