Sales Detail
Dean Park has an estimated 3,069 residents, down from 3,180 at the 2021 Census — a change of 111 people, or 3.5%. The population has thinned by an average 1.2% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. That puts 2,033 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside new addresses confirmed following the Census, the suburb of Dean Park is estimated to have a population of approximately 3,069 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 3,180 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a contraction of 111 people (3.5%). This calculation stems from an estimated resident count of 3,060 determined by AreaSearch after assessing the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 9 validated new addresses established post-Census. With this population base, the suburb exhibits a density ratio of 2,032 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the typical benchmark across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary contributor to local population expansion, generating roughly 55.00000000000001% of recent overall population additions. In formulating forward projections, AreaSearch incorporates the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 dataset using 2022 as its base period, while turning to the 2022 NSW State Government SA2 series (based on 2021) for locations omitted from the former source. Age-specific growth trajectories derived from these aggregations are subsequently extended to all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking toward long-term demographic patterns, the suburb of Dean Park is projected to experience expansion slightly under the national median for statistical areas, gaining an estimated 203 persons by 2041 through aggregated SA2 modelling, which corresponds to an overall 16-year increase of 6.3%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
40 new dwellings have been approved in Dean Park over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, well below 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
AreaSearch's review of ABS building approval records mapped across statistical divisions shows that Dean Park averages approximately 8 residential approvals per year, accumulating an estimated 40 dwellings throughout the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 4 residential approvals have been documented. Amid recent population contraction, local dwelling supply has kept pace with underlying demand, maintaining a balanced residential market with ample choice for purchasers, with new dwellings being built at an average construction value of $201,000—a level below regional benchmarks that delivers accessible price points. Furthermore, $34.0 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, highlighting strong local commercial development.
On a per-person basis, residential construction volume in Dean Park aligns with the broader Greater Sydney rate, preserving local market stability in step with the surrounding region. This pace sits below the Australian benchmark, reflecting the established character of the neighbourhood alongside possible planning constraints. Detached houses comprise 88.0% of recent construction while medium and high-density dwellings account for 12.0%, reinforcing the suburban fabric and catering to family households seeking larger residences. With approximately 1542 residents per approved dwelling, the suburb displays the hallmarks of a fully established locality. Moving forward, demographic forecasts indicate Dean Park will add 194 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Maintained at prevailing rates of construction, future housing delivery appears well positioned to satisfy demand, fostering favorable conditions for property buyers and potentially accommodating population growth beyond current baseline forecasts.

1,790 residents of Dean Park are employed, from a labour force of 1,850. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 74.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,804, about 91% 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
Dean Park features a highly skilled workforce with strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of only 3.2% and an estimated employment growth of 1.5% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,790 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting at 0.9% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation standing at 74.6% compared to Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census data indicates that a high 25.8% of residents were found to work from home, though the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employment fields for resident workers consist of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The neighbourhood displays notable industrial specialization, with manufacturing employment representation reaching 1.8 times the wider metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical occupations account for just 3.8% of local workers compared to 11.5% regionally. Although local workplaces exist, the comparison between Census working figures and the resident population suggests a significant proportion of workers travel outside the suburb for employment. Synthesizing SALM and ABS statistical data, AreaSearch figures indicate that over the preceding 12-month timeframe, local jobs grew by 1.5% while the total workforce expanded by 1.3%, driving a 0.2 percentage point reduction in unemployment. Over the same span across Greater Sydney, jobs rose by 1.9%, the overall labor pool increased by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National labor outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding forward job requirements in Dean Park. Applying these industry-weighted five- and ten-year national growth outlooks—which predict nationwide employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to the local sector composition suggests Dean Park could see employment increases of 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (noting that this represents an illustrative weighting model rather than a localized population forecast).

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,180 at the 2021 Census → 3,069 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 (SAL11226). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
