This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Dundas Valley has an estimated 5,820 residents, down from 5,875 at the 2021 Census. The population has thinned by an average 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. That puts 3,216 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 the analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region, along with new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Dundas Valley has an estimated population of 5,820 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 55 people (0.9%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 5,875 residents. This shift is derived from the resident population of 5,805, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP figures from June 2025 in addition to 38 verified new addresses since the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 3,215 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Dundas Valley in the top quartile of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Growth in the local population was mostly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 82.0% of the overall population gains recently. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 regions released in 2024, utilising 2022 as the base year. In cases where SA2 areas lack this coverage, the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections from 2022, with a 2021 base year, are utilised. Age cohort growth rates from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic trends, a major population surge is expected, placing the suburb of Dundas Valley in the top quartile of national statistical areas, with an anticipated increase of 1,501 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, showing a total growth of 25.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
190 new dwellings have been approved in Dundas Valley over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That is 6.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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 analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area records indicates that Dundas Valley has averaged approximately 38 annual dwelling approvals, yielding an estimated 190 home approvals over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 22 during FY-26 so far. Even with the population shrinking, building activity has remained relatively sufficient, presenting a benefit for buyers, with new residences averaging a construction cost of $639,000, which highlights a developer focus on high-end residential options. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $2.1 million during this financial year, pointing to a predominantly residential orientation.
Dundas Valley's new home approvals per capita run at approximately two-thirds of the rate observed across Greater Sydney, positioning it in the 56th percentile of locations analyzed nationwide. The breakdown of building approvals reveals 29.0% standalone homes and 71.0% multi-dwelling options like apartments or townhouses. Focusing on denser residential options provides more affordable points of entry and meets the needs of downsizers, first-home buyers, and investors. This signals a clear departure from the current housing landscape, where detached houses make up 65.0% of the stock, pointing to a shrinking supply of vacant buildable land alongside shifting lifestyle demands and the necessity for more diverse, cost-effective housing choices. With approximately 277 people per approved dwelling, the area displays a low density profile. Demographic projections suggest Dundas Valley is on track to add 1,486 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current levels of building activity appear to align well with future housing demands, helping to maintain balanced market dynamics and prevent dramatic price escalation.

3,141 residents of Dundas Valley are employed, from a labour force of 3,303. Unemployment sits at 4.9%, with participation at 69.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,455, 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
The local workforce exhibits a high level of education, featuring a strong concentration of professionals, a jobless rate of 4.9%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.5% over the preceding year, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 3,141 employed local residents, with the unemployment rate standing 0.7% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while labor force participation matches the metropolitan rate of 69.1%. Census records show a substantial 47.8% of employed locals worked from home, though this figure likely reflects the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The local resident workforce is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training sectors. There is a notable local specialization in wholesale trade, which has a employment share 1.6 times higher than the broader region. Conversely, finance & insurance is underrepresented, making up 5.4% of employment compared to the regional average of 7.3%. Given the difference between the Census working population and resident population, this heavily residential sector appears to provide few job opportunities within its own borders. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, compiled from larger statistical regions, indicates that over the past 12 months employment rose by 1.5% while the labour force grew by 1.4%, leaving unemployment levels virtually stable. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a slight decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in Dundas Valley. These projections, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local employment structure to estimate potential growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Dundas Valley's current employment composition, the area is expected to see employment increase by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 38 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,875 at the 2021 Census → 5,820 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.
