Detail
Analyzing updates from the ABS for the surrounding region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Condell Park is populated by approximately 13,391 residents as of May 2026. This indicates a 2.5% expansion, or an addition of 325 people, relative to the 13,066 individuals counted during the 2021 Census. The estimation stems from a resident population of 13,337 computed by AreaSearch via the ABS ERP data from June 2025, combined with 167 new addresses verified after the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 3,442 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the top quartile of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Over the last ten years, the suburb of Condell Park has shown steady progress with a 1.2% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3 region. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 52.0% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are applied to each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data, NSW State Government SA2 projections from 2022 (with a 2021 baseline) are utilized. Age group growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward from 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic transitions, the suburb of Condell Park is projected to experience population growth slightly below the national median. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate an addition of 1,041 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 7.4% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
269 new dwellings have been approved in Condell Park over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That is 4.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals distributed from regional data, the yearly average for new dwelling approvals in Condell Park stands at approximately 53, yielding an estimated 269 residential properties over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 25 approvals have been logged. With an average of only 0.9 new residents per built dwelling annually between FY-21 and FY-25, residential construction is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand. This provides purchasers with a broader range of options and supports population growth that may surpass current projections, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $388,000.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $67.4 million have been registered in this financial year, showing robust local commercial development. Building activity per person in Condell Park runs at roughly three-quarters of the rate observed across Greater Sydney, positioning the suburb in the 45th percentile of areas evaluated nationally. This results in tighter choices for purchasers, which helps sustain demand for existing housing stock. Recent construction activity consists of 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% semi-detached properties, townhouses, or apartments. This trend toward high-density living provides more affordable options and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. This is a clear shift from the existing housing profile, where houses make up 66.0% of dwellings, indicating a decrease in available development land and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and affordability pressures. The suburb averages approximately 364 people for every dwelling approval, which is characteristic of a mature, established residential area. Looking forward, the population of Condell Park is projected to expand by 987 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. At the current pace of development, the supply of new housing is expected to satisfy demand comfortably, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating growth that exceeds current population forecasts.

5,725 residents of Condell Park are employed, from a labour force of 6,227. Unemployment sits at 8.1%, with participation at 59.3%. 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 11,941, 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
Condell Park has a qualified workforce across various industries, exhibiting an unemployment rate of 8.1% and an estimated 3.0% job growth over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 5,725 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 3.9% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, showing room for economic progress, while workforce participation is notably lower at 59.3% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 32.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure should be interpreted in light of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The suburb shows a high concentration of workers in retail trade, which is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 6.6% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that this largely residential area offers limited local employment options. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical area, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 3.0% and the labor force grow by 3.6%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, a labor force expansion of 1.9%, and a slight decrease in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide context for local demand in Condell Park. These projections, spanning five and ten years, are mapped against the local industry profile to estimate future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, rates vary across industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment distribution suggests employment among residents could rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 167 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,066 at the 2021 Census → 13,391 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11001). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
