Detail
In the suburb of Cremorne (NSW), the resident count is placed at approximately 11,953 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates with new addresses validated since the Census. Compared to the 11,263 people counted in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 690 people (6.1%). This progression is deduced from an estimated resident population of 11,913 identified after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP figures, alongside 148 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With a density of 7,288 persons per square kilometer, the suburb places in the upper 10% of AreaSearch's nationwide assessments, underscoring intense local land demand.
The area's 6.1% increase since the 2021 census outperformed the wider SA4 region's 5.9% expansion, positioning the suburb of Cremorne (NSW) at the forefront of regional growth, with overseas arrivals serving as the principal driver by generating roughly 71.0% of recent population additions. Future demographic projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures for SA2 areas, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 using 2021 as a base. Age-specific trajectories from these combined series are applied across all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Cremorne (NSW) is expected to track in the lower quartile of statistical districts nationally, with combined SA2 models pointing to an addition of 264 persons up to 2041, representing a modest overall rise of 1.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
146 new dwellings have been approved in Cremorne (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 12% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 48, running ahead of 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
ABS building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch show that Cremorne registers roughly 29 residential approvals per year, totaling approximately 146 approved dwellings across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 48 recorded to date in FY-25. An influx averaging 1.3 new residents annually per new dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates balanced supply-demand conditions and steady market fundamentals. In addition, an average estimated construction cost of $1,166,000 per new home demonstrates that property developers are focusing on the higher-tier residential market.
Non-residential development activity also includes $2.9 million in commercial approvals for the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential nature of the locality. Per capita residential construction in Cremorne closely mirrors Greater Sydney levels, reinforcing regional market equilibrium. However, approval volumes remain lower than national figures, pointing to an established urban footprint and potential planning boundaries. High-density structures dominate local building activity, with apartments and townhouses accounting for 88.0% of approvals compared to 12.0% for detached houses. This emphasis on multi-unit development provides accessible price points that cater to first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. Concurrently, with approximately 282 people per dwelling approval, the locality exhibits characteristics of a low-density development profile. Longer-term demographic modeling projects an addition of 224 residents in Cremorne through to 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Prevailing residential building volumes appear well-positioned to satisfy future housing demand, maintaining supportive market conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating residential expansion beyond current projections.

7,277 residents of Cremorne (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 7,517. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 72.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,203, about 77% 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
Cremorne possesses a highly qualified workforce with an exceptional concentration of technology professionals, an unemployment rate sitting at just 3.2%, and an estimated annual job growth of 1.7% based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,277, with joblessness tracking 0.9% lower than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, while labor force participation stands at 72.4% against 68.9% across the metropolitan area. Additionally, Census returns indicated that 64.8% of workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Resident employment is concentrated primarily within professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance.
Local workforce representation in professional & technical fields is especially prominent, exceeding regional shares by 1.8 times. In contrast, construction represents only 4.7% of resident employment versus 8.6% across the broader region. A comparison between Census local workplace counts and resident worker tallies highlights that this largely residential enclave provides relatively few internal employment positions. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures across the 12 months leading to March 2026 shows local employment expanding by 1.7% alongside a 1.6% rise in the labor pool, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point decline in unemployment. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment saw a slight reduction. Additional perspectives on workforce demand stem from Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26, which indicate country-wide employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. When applying these industry projections to Cremorne's specific occupational makeup, local employment is modeled to increase by 7.5% over five years and 14.9% across ten years, serving as an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized population adjustments.

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 — 148 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,263 at the 2021 Census → 11,953 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 Aug 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.
