Constitution Hill

Constitution Hill is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

The population of Constitution Hill statistical area as of November 2025 is estimated at around 4,570 people. This reflects an increase of 540 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,030 people. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of the resident population as 4,369 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional six validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,776 persons per square kilometer, placing Constitution Hill (SA2) in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The area's 13.4% growth since the 2021 census exceeded both the state average of 7.6% and the metropolitan area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 84.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, driving primary growth for the area.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, Constitution Hill (SA2) is expected to grow by 367 persons to 2041, reflecting an increase of approximately 2.1% in total over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Constitution Hill according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Constitution Hill recorded approximately 21 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, around 109 homes were approved, with a further 10 approved in FY-26. On average, 0.8 new residents per year per dwelling constructed were recorded during this period.

This suggests that new supply is meeting or exceeding demand, providing ample buyer choice and room for population growth beyond current forecasts. The average construction value of these properties was $487,000, indicating a focus on the premium market with high-end developments. In FY-26, $16.4 million in commercial approvals have been registered, demonstrating steady commercial investment activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Constitution Hill has about three-quarters the rate of new dwelling approvals per person.

Nationally, it ranks among the 57th percentile of areas assessed. Recent construction comprises 50% detached dwellings and 50% medium and high-density housing, creating more affordable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. The location has approximately 266 people per dwelling approval, indicating potential for growth. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Constitution Hill is forecasted to gain 96 residents by 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers and potentially enabling population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

From September 2024 to September 2025, employment increased by 3.1% while labour force rose by 3.7%, raising the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney's employment grew by 2.1% with a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Statewide, NSW employment contracted by 0.03% from November 25 to May 25, losing 2,260 jobs, with an unemployment rate of 3.9%. National forecasts project total employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Constitution Hill's employment mix suggests local employment could increase by 7.0% in five years and 14.4% in ten years, though this is a simple extrapolation for illustrative purposes.
