Sales Detail
East Corrimal has an estimated 3,480 residents, up from 3,432 at the 2021 Census — a change of 48 people, or 1.4%. That puts 2,486 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 regional ABS demographic releases alongside new addresses confirmed since the Census, the suburb of East Corrimal has an estimated resident count of around 3,480 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 48 people (1.4%) compared to the 3,432 individuals tallied in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated from an estimated resident tally of 3,469 derived from the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), coupled with 25 validated new addresses established following the Census. With this population base, the density stands at 2,485 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of Australian areas analysed by AreaSearch.
Inflow from overseas served as the primary growth contributor, generating approximately 61.0% of recent population additions. Projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline by ABS/Geoscience Australia are utilised by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2-level figures (base year 2021) wherever federal coverage is absent. Cohort-specific growth trajectories from these series are applied across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these projected demographic shifts, demographic expansion is anticipated to trail in the bottom quartile among nationwide regional locations, with the suburb of East Corrimal projected to gain 106 persons through to 2041 under aggregated SA2 modelling, amounting to an overall rise of 2.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
65 new dwellings have been approved in East Corrimal over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 5.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 25, 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
Examination of ABS building approvals aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that East Corrimal has registered an average of approximately 13 residential approvals annually, delivering around 65 new homes across the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 25 approvals have been documented. Because the locality added an average of only 0.1 new residents per year per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 through FY-25), the incoming volume matches or outpaces demand, generating healthy buyer choice and establishing room for demographic expansion above projected trajectories. Furthermore, newly constructed residences carry an average estimated building cost of $628,000, underscoring building activity centred on high-end, premium housing.
In addition, commercial approvals have reached $22.5 million during the ongoing financial year, pointing to a moderate volume of commercial development. Relative to Rest of NSW, building approval numbers per capita in East Corrimal sit at approximately three-quarters of the wider figure, positioning the suburb at the 64th percentile across the country. Breaking down recent residential construction, attached dwellings represent 65.0% while detached houses make up 35.0%. This emphasis on higher-density housing creates accessible entry points for incoming households while drawing downsizers, entry-level buyers, and property investors. Measuring approximately 204 people per approval, the locality displays low-density attributes. Demographic projections suggest East Corrimal will expand by 95 residents heading into 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update. Considering ongoing construction activity, future residential output appears well placed to satisfy demographic demand, fostering favourable market conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population additions beyond current expectations.

8 Cannell Crescent Dual Occupancy & Subdivision
Demolition of existing structures and construction of a dual occupancy with Torrens title subdivision into two lots. The project was approved by Wollongong City Council in February 2026.
1,759 residents of East Corrimal are employed, from a labour force of 1,896. Unemployment sits at 7.2%, with participation at 66.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,743, about 79% 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
East Corrimal has a skilled workforce with good representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 7.2%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.6% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,759 residents are employed while the unemployment rate stands at 3.1% higher than the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, indicating potential for improvement, and workforce participation exceeds the regional standard at 66.1% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census responses reveal that a high 33.0% of residents work from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Employment among local workers is concentrated primarily across health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. Notably, education & training shows considerable strength, engaging workers at 1.4 times the broader regional rate. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of local employment against the 5.3% regional benchmark. Comparison between the Census counts of local working population and resident workers highlights a predominantly residential district with relatively limited commercial work opportunities within its borders. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures across broader statistical geographies, East Corrimal experienced simultaneous 1.6% expansions across both its employed workforce and its overall labour pool in the year ending March 2026, leaving joblessness steady. Conversely, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and its labour force contract by 0.4%, accompanied by a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future labour demand patterns can be evaluated using national industry outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Projected forward across five- and ten-year timeframes, these national sectoral benchmarks have been weighted against the local industry footprint. At the national scale, employment is modelled to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variation across individual fields. Weighting these sectoral forecasts to East Corrimal's employment structure suggests local employment would rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (a basic proportional extrapolation presented for illustrative context that excludes localised 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 — 25 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,432 at the 2021 Census → 3,480 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.
