Eagle Vale

Eagle Vale is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of November 2025, Eagle Vale's population is estimated at around 5,800, reflecting an increase of 11 people since the 2021 Census. This increase represents a growth rate of approximately 0.2%. The ABS ERP estimate for surrounding areas applied to Eagle Vale by AreaSearch in June 2024 indicated a resident population of 5,704. Since then, an additional 16 validated new addresses have been identified, contributing to the current estimated population. This results in a population density ratio of approximately 2,301 persons per square kilometer for Eagle Vale, which is higher than the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.

Natural growth contributed significantly to this population increase, accounting for about 65% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, lower quartile growth is anticipated for Australian statistical areas. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, Eagle Vale is expected to increase by approximately 234 persons by the year 2041, reflecting a total gain of around 5.1% over the 17-year period.

The level of residential development activity in Eagle Vale is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, indicates Eagle Vale has averaged around 10 new dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years to June 2021. This totals an estimated 52 homes. As of April 2026, 3 approvals have been recorded in FY-26. Population decline over recent years has seen development activity remain adequate relative to other areas, benefiting buyers while new properties are constructed at an average expected construction cost value of $449,000, aligning with regional trends.

In the current financial year, there have also been commercial approvals totalling $541,000, reflecting Eagle Vale's residential nature. Compared to Greater Sydney, Eagle Vale has significantly less development activity, 73.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established homes. Nationally, development activity is also lower, indicating market maturity and possible development constraints. New development consists of 90.0% standalone homes and 10.0% medium and high-density housing, maintaining Eagle Vale's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space.

The location has approximately 1946 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. Looking ahead, Eagle Vale is expected to grow by 297 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.

Eagle Vale shows employment indicators that trail behind approximately 70% of regions assessed across Australia

Eagle Vale's workforce is skilled with diverse sector representation. The unemployment rate was 6.8% in the past year, with estimated employment growth of 5.1%.

As of June 2025, 3,035 residents are employed while the unemployment rate is 2.6% higher than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%. Workforce participation is lower at 57.9%, compared to Greater Sydney's 60.0%. Leading employment industries include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing. Transport, postal & warehousing has notably high concentration with levels at 1.9 times the regional average.

However, professional & technical services are under-represented with only 4.0% of Eagle Vale's workforce compared to Greater Sydney's 11.5%. The area offers limited local employment opportunities as indicated by Census data. In the past year, employment increased by 5.1% alongside labour force growth of 5.0%, keeping unemployment relatively stable at 6.8%. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 2.6%, labour force growth of 2.9%, and unemployment rose to 4.5%. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 project national employment expansion by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Eagle Vale's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not consider localised population projections.
