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.

Population
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
As per ABS population updates and AreaSearch validation for the suburb of Constitution Hill, the estimated population as of May 2026 is around 4,054. This figure indicates an increase of 24 people from the 2021 Census count of 4,030, reflecting a growth rate of approximately 0.6%. AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 4,048 in June 2025, along with validation of six new addresses since the Census date, supports this increase. The resulting population density is around 3,350 persons per square kilometer, placing Constitution Hill in the upper quartile relative to other locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration contributed approximately 84% of overall population gains during recent periods, driving primary growth in the suburb.
AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections from 2022 with a base year of 2021 are used. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, Constitution Hill is expected to grow by approximately 7.8% by 2041, with an increase of 322 persons over the 16-year period, reflecting a demographic trend just below the national median for statistical areas.

Development
Residential development activity is lower than average in Constitution Hill according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets
Based on AreaSearch analysis, 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 an additional 14 approved so far in FY-26. On average, 1.1 people moved to the area per dwelling built over these years. However, this figure increased to 5.8 people per dwelling over the past two financial years, suggesting growing popularity and potential supply constraints.
New homes are being constructed at an average value of $487,000, indicating a focus on the premium market. This year has seen $16.4 million in commercial approvals registered, showing steady commercial investment activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Constitution Hill has about three-quarters the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and ranks among the 57th percentile nationally. Recent construction consists of 50% detached dwellings and 50% medium and high-density housing.
The area has approximately 270 people per dwelling approval, indicating a low density market. By 2041, Constitution Hill is forecasted to gain 316 residents. With current construction levels, housing supply should meet demand adequately, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
