Sales Detail
Dudley has an estimated 2,474 residents, down from 2,505 at the 2021 Census — a change of 31 people, or 1.2%. That puts 453 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
Evaluating demographics from ABS updates for the region and new home addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census shows the number of residents in Dudley is around 2,474 as of May 2026. This indicates a decline of 31 people (1.2%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 2,505 people. This shift is calculated from the resident population of 2,468, estimated by AreaSearch by looking at the most recent ABS ERP statistics (June 2025) plus an extra 5 verified new addresses since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 453 persons per square kilometer, which allows plenty of space per resident and opportunity for further expansion.
Population increases in this location were mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 51.0% of total population additions in recent times. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. In cases where SA2 sectors are omitted from this dataset, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year are used instead. Growth rates categorized by age bracket from these files are also applied to all areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, an increase in residents slightly below the median of regional sectors across the country is anticipated, with the locality projected to add 237 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 forecasts, representing a rise of 9.3% overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
36 new dwellings have been approved in Dudley over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 2.9 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
According to AreaSearch reviews of ABS building approval statistics distributed from broader statistical zones, Dudley has maintained an average of approximately 7 new home approvals annually, with an estimated 36 residences approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and none so far in FY-26. As the number of residents has fallen lately, the supply of new builds has likely kept up with buyer requirements, offering options to purchasers. Additionally, $190,000 in commercial building approvals were registered during the current financial year, which highlights the residential character of the locality.
Compared to the Rest of NSW, building activity per resident in Dudley is about three-quarters of the regional level, placing it in the 4th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which restricts choices for purchasers and supports demand for existing properties. This level also falls below the national average, showing the maturity of the suburb and suggesting potential planning limitations. Recent construction projects consist of 17.0% freestanding houses and 83.0% townhouses or multi-unit complexes. Focusing on high-density properties provides cheaper entry options and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the current property composition (which stands at 92.0% houses), indicating fewer available development sites and responding to changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. Population projections suggest Dudley will add 231 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Construction levels are matching these growth forecasts, although buyers could face stronger competition as the population increases.

1,236 residents of Dudley are employed, from a labour force of 1,283. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Dudley has a highly qualified labor force with a strong presence of professional service workers and a low unemployment rate of 3.7%, based on compiled statistical area data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, 1,236 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 0.4% lower than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation was exceptionally high (66.9% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). Census statistics show that a high 33.7% of employed residents worked from home, though this may reflect COVID-19 lockdown measures. The main employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The community shows a high concentration in health care & social assistance, employing workers at 1.3 times the regional average rate. Conversely, agricultural, forestry & fishing sectors are underrepresented at 0.3% compared to the regional average of 5.3%. The ratio of 0.6 workers per resident at the time of the Census indicates a level of local job availability that is above average. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the local labor force contracted by 1.9% and total employment fell by 3.3% over the 12 months ending March 2026, which caused the unemployment rate to rise by 1.4 percentage points. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends in Dudley. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry forecasts to the local employment structure suggests that local jobs will grow by 7.4% over five years and 15.1% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,505 at the 2021 Census → 2,474 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 (SAL11303). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
