Constitution Hill has an estimated 4,054 residents. That puts 3,350 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 population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the population of the suburb of Constitution Hill is estimated at around 4,054 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 24 people (0.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,030 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 4,048, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,350 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 84.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch adopts the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the base year. If an SA2 area is not included, the 2022 projections from the NSW State Government, with a 2021 base year, are used instead. Growth rates by age brackets from these data sets are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic trends indicate that the suburb of Constitution Hill will expand at a rate slightly below the national median, with aggregated SA2 projections suggesting an increase of 322 residents by 2041, representing a total rise of 7.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
75 new dwellings have been approved in Constitution Hill over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval records, allocated from regional datasets, show that the suburb of Constitution Hill averaged approximately 15 approved residential properties annually. This resulted in an estimated 75 residential approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with no approvals recorded during FY-26. Because local population numbers have decreased, the volume of new completions has likely matched market requirements, providing home buyers with suitable options. Additionally, commercial development approvals worth $16.4 million were registered during the current financial year, demonstrating ongoing commercial investment. Compared with the wider Greater Sydney region, the suburb of Constitution Hill shows significantly lower building activity, trailing the regional average per resident by 50.0%.
This limited volume of new housing supply generally supports demand and property values for existing homes. The breakdown of new residential construction is split equally, with 50.0% consisting of standalone houses and 50.0% comprising attached properties. This shift toward higher-density housing options offers accessible entry-level options and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. Having approximately 1357 residents for each housing approval highlights that the suburb of Constitution Hill is an established, developed community. Demographic forecasts show that the suburb of Constitution Hill is set to add 316 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. With the current pace of construction, the supply of new housing is projected to satisfy local demand easily, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially underpinning expansion beyond current population estimates.

2,103 residents of Constitution Hill are employed, from a labour force of 2,178. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 65.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,159, about 78% 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
The suburb of Constitution Hill features a highly educated labor force with a significant concentration of professional service workers, an unemployment rate of only 3.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 0.6% over the preceding year, according to aggregated statistical data from AreaSearch. By March 2026, 2,103 local residents were employed. The local unemployment level is 0.7% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while the labor force participation rate of 65.9% is somewhat lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 69.1%. Census records show that a high proportion of employed residents, at 43.2%, worked from home, although these figures may reflect the impact of pandemic lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The suburb of Constitution Hill has a strong specialization in healthcare & social assistance, employing a share of the workforce that is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services account for only 8.9% of local employment, which is below the 11.5% registered across Greater Sydney. Given the difference between the Census working population and resident population, this heavily residential locality appears to provide a limited number of jobs within its borders. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the year ending March 2026 saw local employment grow by 0.6% and the labor force expand by 0.9%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, alongside a minor decline in unemployment. Additional guidance on future employment needs in the suburb of Constitution Hill is available from the national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been combined with the local workforce profile to model future trends. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of expansion vary widely by industry. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local workforce mix suggests that employment in the suburb of Constitution Hill will rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes that excludes localized demographic 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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,030 at the 2021 Census → 4,054 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 (SAL11014). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
