Sales Detail
Concord has an estimated 15,472 residents, up from 14,551 at the 2021 Census — a change of 921 people, or 6.3%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 83.0% of that increase. That puts 3,058 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 analysis of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside recent address validation by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Concord has a projected population of approximately 15,472 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 921 residents (6.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 14,551 individuals. The estimate is derived from a baseline resident count of 15,457 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures, supplemented by 34 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 3,057 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of all Australian areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 6.3% growth rate in the suburb of Concord since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (5.5%), establishing it as a local growth leader. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for approximately 83.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. For future planning, AreaSearch incorporates the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which utilize 2022 as their baseline year. In instances where SA2 regions lack this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government's 2022 release (with a 2021 baseline) are utilized instead. Demographic growth rates by age bracket derived from these source datasets are also projected forward for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, the suburb of Concord is projected to experience growth slightly below the national median, with the population anticipated to rise by 741 individuals by 2041 under these combined SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 4.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
531 new dwellings have been approved in Concord over the past five years, an average of 106 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 99 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 47% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 124, 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 localized statistical boundaries, Concord registers approximately 106 approved residential projects annually, totaling an estimated 531 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years (running from FY-21 to FY-25) and an additional 114 during the current FY-26. With only an average of 0.9 new residents moving to the suburb for each approved dwelling constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new housing is keeping pace with or outpacing local demand, providing prospective purchasers with plenty of choices and building in capacity for population expansion beyond current estimates, with new dwellings showing a mean estimated building cost of $740,000, illustrating developer interest in high-end, premium housing projects.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $61.9 million during this financial year, pointing to robust commercial development activity. In comparison to the wider Greater Sydney region, construction activity in Concord is moderately high, running at 12.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which helps maintain property values while ensuring adequate supply for purchasers. Approved housing comprises 47.0% detached structures and 53.0% medium and high-density apartments or townhouses. This shift toward higher density offers more accessible entry points for first-time buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also represents a clear departure from the suburb's historical housing profile, which currently consists of 71.0% houses, showing that vacant development sites are becoming scarce while highlighting a shift toward low-maintenance, diverse housing alternatives. Averaging approximately 136 people for every approved dwelling, Concord shows the hallmarks of a developing locality. Looking forward, the population of Concord is projected to rise by 726 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Considering historical building activity, future residential supply is well-positioned to satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current predictions.

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.
7,957 residents of Concord are employed, from a labour force of 8,194. 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 13,209, 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
Concord has an educated resident workforce characterized by a strong presence of white-collar professionals, and a low unemployment rate of 2.9%, according to AreaSearch's compiled statistical area datasets. As of March 2026, there are 7,957 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate sits 1.2% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably lower at 62.1% compared to the 69.1% recorded across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a high proportion of employed residents (48.1%) worked from their homes, although this figure was likely influenced by pandemic containment measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing plays a minor role, employing 3.6% of the workforce compared to 5.3% across the wider region. The comparison between the number of local jobs and the size of the resident workforce suggests this largely residential locality offers limited employment opportunities within its own boundaries. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region reveals that over the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 1.6% while total employment fell by 1.7%, keeping the overall unemployment rate steady. This contrasts with Greater Sydney, where employment increased by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context for future demand in Concord. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local employment profile to model potential trends. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of growth vary widely by sector. Applying these industry weightings to the occupational profile of Concord suggests local employment could grow by 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, though this calculation serves as an illustrative weighting exercise and does not account for localized population changes.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Concord is $2,410 a week (about $125,000 a year), with median personal income at $935 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $55,092 a year against an average of $81,522. The average runs 48% above the median, a wider spread than most areas and a sign of a concentrated group of high earners. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch's compilation of the most recent postcode-level ATO statistics released for the financial year 2023, taxpaying residents in the suburb of Concord recorded a median income of $55,092 and a mean income of $81,522. These figures are high on a national scale, comparing to medians and averages of $60,817 and $83,003 across Greater Sydney. Factoring in Wage Price Index growth of 10.32% since financial year 2023, updated estimates suggest figures of roughly $60,777 (median) and $89,935 (average) as of March 2026. The 2021 Census reports that household incomes are in the 88th percentile, sitting at a median weekly level of $2,410.
The data indicates that 28.8% of the population, representing 4,455 individuals, earn in the $4000+ bracket, which differs from the broader metropolitan region where the $1,500 - 2,999 range is the most common at 30.9%.

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 — 34 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,551 at the 2021 Census → 15,472 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.
