Sales Detail
Crestwood has an estimated 4,830 residents, down from 4,936 at the 2021 Census — a change of 106 people, or 2.1%. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 97% of areas nationally. That puts 2,464 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
Demographic updates evaluated by AreaSearch from ABS data alongside newly verified residential addresses suggest the suburb of Crestwood has an estimated 4,830 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 4,936 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates a contraction of 106 people (2.1%). This figure is determined from an estimated resident count of 4,830 following the ABS release of June 2025 ERP figures and 12 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With 2,464 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Crestwood sits within the highest quartile for population density across Australia assessed by AreaSearch.
Inflow from overseas migrants accounted for roughly 73.0% of recent population additions, serving as the main demographic driver. Projections for the suburb of Crestwood utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 models based on 2022 benchmarks, supplemented where needed by 2022 NSW State Government releases benchmarked to 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories from these datasets are applied. Looking ahead, long-term demographic modelling places the suburb of Crestwood in the upper quartile for non-metropolitan growth nationally, anticipating an expansion of 1,302 persons by 2041 via aggregated SA2 projections, representing a cumulative 27.0% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
35 new dwellings have been approved in Crestwood over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
Building approval records compiled by AreaSearch show that Crestwood averages roughly 7 residential approvals annually, totaling approximately 35 dwellings across the 5 financial years from FY-21 through FY-25, including 15 approved to date in FY-25. Given the local demographic contraction, this construction volume provides sufficient supply for prospective purchasers, with newly approved residences carrying an estimated average construction cost of $497,000. In addition, commercial approvals have reached $3.4 million during the current financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential character. Per capita building activity in Crestwood trails Rest of NSW substantially, sitting 76.0% below the broader regional standard.
Such restricted incoming stock tends to bolster pricing and buyer interest across existing properties. Activity also tracks beneath national benchmarks, highlighting an established urban fabric and possible zoning constraints. Higher-density formats dominate recent building permits, with multi-unit and apartment stock accounting for 70.0% compared to 30.0% for standalone houses. This density orientation provides relatively accessible price points suited to first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a departure from the established stock profile of 46.0% detached houses, pointing to fewer greenfield parcels and heightened demand for varied, cost-effective residential options. A ratio of around 512 people per approval further demonstrates the suburb's mature stage of development. Demographic forecasts indicate Crestwood will gain 1,302 residents by 2041 relative to recent AreaSearch estimates. If current residential building volumes do not accelerate, new supply may fall behind demographic expansion, heightening buyer demand and providing upward pressure on property values.

2,889 residents of Crestwood are employed, from a labour force of 2,964. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 73.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,007, about 83% 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
Workforce metrics for Crestwood highlight a skilled local labour pool with substantial representation across core service industries and an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, according to statistical aggregations from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,889, keeping joblessness 1.6% lower than the 4.1% recorded across Regional NSW. Labour force engagement remains elevated at 73.6%, outpacing the 60.6% observed in Regional NSW. Meanwhile, Census data indicated that 7.6% of workers operated from home, though broader pandemic measures during that period should be noted. Key employment sectors for the local workforce are concentrated in public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, alongside construction.
The representation in public administration & safety is especially pronounced, tracking at 3.1 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.2% of employment, well under the 5.3% seen across Regional NSW. Comparing local job counts with resident employee totals suggests the area functions primarily as a dormitory suburb with limited local employment hubs. Data from SALM and the ABS over the 12 months leading to March 2026 shows Crestwood experienced a 2.7% reduction in its labour force and a 1.9% drop in employed residents, bringing the unemployment rate down by 0.7 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW registered a 0.9% drop in employment alongside a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-range national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for local employment trends across five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over a decade, though performance varies widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Crestwood's industry distribution indicates resident employment could increase by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (note that this illustrative model applies industry weightings without factoring in 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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,936 at the 2021 Census → 4,830 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11116). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
