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.

Concord has an estimated 15,515 residents, up from 14,551 at the 2021 Census — a change of 964 people, or 6.6%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 83.0% of that increase. That puts 3,066 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS demographic releases with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Concord has reached an estimated population of approximately 15,515 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 964 people (6.6%) compared to the 14,551 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. These figures stem from an estimated resident base of 15,457 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 35 newly verified addresses identified since Census night. Consequently, population density stands at 3,066 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb in the top quartile among nationally evaluated regions.
Outperforming the broader SA3 benchmark of 5.6%, the suburb of Concord's 6.6% growth rate highlights it as a leading regional growth hub, where roughly 83.0% of recent population additions were generated by overseas arrivals. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 datasets released in 2022 against a 2021 baseline. For the 2032 to 2041 timeframe, age-cohort growth trajectories from these sources are integrated across all areas. Looking ahead, demographic expansion for the suburb of Concord is projected to track slightly under the national median, with SA2 aggregations forecasting an addition of 696 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 16-year increase of 4.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
548 new dwellings have been approved in Concord over the past five years, an average of 109 a year. That places the area in the 72nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 106 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 44% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 119, 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
Evaluation of statistical building approvals indicates that Concord experiences approximately 109 residential building consents per year, totaling an estimated 548 approved dwellings across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, including 119 permissions recorded to date in FY-25. Across those same 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the suburb registered an influx of merely 0.9 new residents per completed dwelling, demonstrating that construction is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand to widen housing choice and facilitate demographic growth. With an average construction value of $725,000 per dwelling, developers are clearly prioritizing higher-end, premium residential assets.
Additionally, local commercial activity remains vibrant, highlighted by $61.9 million in commercial approvals lodged during the current financial year. In comparison to Greater Sydney, Concord records approximately three-quarters of the rate of new dwelling approvals per capita and ranks within the 81st percentile among nationally assessed areas. Current building activity consists of 44.0% detached dwellings and 56.0% medium and high-density housing. This emphasis on higher-density living provides more affordable entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. This marks a significant departure from the area's existing housing stock, which is currently 71.0% houses, signaling reduced availability of developable land and reflecting evolving lifestyles alongside the demand for more diverse and affordable housing options. With an average of 119 people per approval, Concord demonstrates characteristics of a developing area. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, future population projections indicate an influx of 638 residents into Concord through to 2041. Present development trends suggest that upcoming housing delivery will comfortably absorb this incoming demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population gains above current expectations.

10-12 Chapman Street Apartments
A 15-storey residential building comprising approximately 100 apartments with a mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom configurations and basement parking for 116 vehicles. Developed by Hyside Projects Subthree Pty Ltd, with estimated completion in 2026.
7,952 residents of Concord are employed, from a labour force of 8,189. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 62.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,260, about 85% 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
Statistical area aggregations highlight a highly skilled local workforce in Concord with extensive participation in professional fields and an unemployment rate of only 2.9%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,952, with joblessness tracking 1.2% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, even as the local labor participation rate of 62.1% trails the metropolitan figure of 68.9%. Furthermore, Census records revealed that 48.1% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, professional & technical roles, and education & training.
Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing accounts for merely 3.6% of the workforce, below the 5.3% observed across Greater Sydney. Comparing resident numbers against the Census count of local workers illustrates that this predominantly residential precinct offers comparatively few internal workplace opportunities. Based on ABS and SALM statistical aggregations, both the total labor force and employment counts contracted by 1.7% over the twelve months to March 2026, preserving a steady unemployment level, whereas Greater Sydney recorded 1.9% growth in employment and 1.9% expansion in its labor pool alongside a slight dip. Forward projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide perspective on potential labor needs in Concord across five- and ten-year horizons when aligned with the local industry profile. Against national employment growth forecasts of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations applied to Concord's workforce structure indicate local employment expansion of 7.1% across five years and 14.3% across ten years (noting this is a weighted illustrative extrapolation that excludes localized population changes).

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 — 35 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,551 at the 2021 Census → 15,515 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.
