Sales Detail
Coniston has an estimated 2,298 residents, up from 2,267 at the 2021 Census — a change of 31 people, or 1.4%. That puts 2,168 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new address validation by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates that the population of the suburb of Coniston is estimated to be approximately 2,298 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 31 individuals (1.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered a population of 2,267 individuals. The variance is derived from a resident population of 2,294, estimated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP data release combined with 13 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. This population size corresponds to a density of 2,167 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure for national locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of demographic expansion, accounting for approximately 85.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In instances where SA2 regions lack this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline, are implemented. Projected growth rates by age group from these combined sources are also applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic developments, the suburb of Coniston is anticipated to experience substantial growth, placing it in the top quartile of regional locations nationwide, with an expected increase of 764 residents by 2041 according to aggregated SA2-level forecasts, representing an overall expansion of 33.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
74 new dwellings have been approved in Coniston over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 6.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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
AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals, distributed from statistical area data, reveals that the suburb of Coniston recorded an average of approximately 14 new residential approvals per year, summing to an estimated 74 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 10 approvals have been documented. Although the region has seen population contraction, construction volume has remained relative to demand, presenting opportunities for buyers, while new residences carry a mean estimated construction cost of $490,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end, premium projects. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $1.9 million have been registered during this financial year, pointing to very limited commercial construction.
Recent residential construction consists of 12.0% standalone houses and 88.0% townhouses or apartments. This prioritization of high-density housing options provides lower cost entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a notable shift from the current housing mix, which consists of 51.0% houses, reflecting a decrease in available development land and aligning with changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability considerations. With approximately 100 individuals for each building approval, the suburb of Coniston displays the features of a low-density area. Long-term projections indicate that the suburb of Coniston will add 760 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of housing may fall short of demographic growth, which could intensify buyer competition and support elevated price appreciation.

1,176 residents of Coniston are employed, from a labour force of 1,276. Unemployment sits at 7.8%, with participation at 63.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,512, about 109% 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
The suburb of Coniston possesses a skilled workforce with a strong presence in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of 7.8% and an estimated employment growth of 0.9% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregated statistical area statistics. As of March 2026, 1,176 residents are employed, though the unemployment rate stands 3.7% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, indicating potential for labor market improvement, while workforce participation is moderate at 63.7% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 30.3%, worked from home, though this may have been influenced by Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The local area exhibits a distinct concentration in finance & insurance, with an employment share that is 2.1 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of the local workforce, which is below the Regional NSW level of 5.3%. The presence of 0.7 workers for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher than average availability of local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider statistical areas, the 12-month period experienced an employment increase of 0.9% alongside a labor force expansion of 1.2%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced an employment contraction of 0.9%, a labor force reduction of 0.4%, and an unemployment increase of 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand for the suburb of Coniston. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local workforce profile to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of growth vary significantly across different sectors. Applying these industry-specific trends to the local employment structure suggests employment for the suburb of Coniston should expand by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, though this is a weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 13 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,267 at the 2021 Census → 2,298 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.
