Edensor Park

An assessment of population growth drivers in Edensor Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

The population of the Edensor Park statistical area (Lv2), as estimated by AreaSearch, was around 10,338 as of November 2025. This figure represents an increase of 59 people since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 10,279. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of the resident population at 10,192 in June 2024, along with the validation of 13 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 3,334 persons per square kilometer, placing Edensor Park (SA2) in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration contributed approximately 78% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch's projections for Edensor Park are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a 2022 base year, and NSW State Government SA2-level projections released in 2022 with a 2021 base year for areas not covered by the former. Future population trends indicate an expected increase just below the median of national statistical areas, with Edensor Park's population projected to reach 10,799 by 2041, reflecting a gain of 3.0% over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Edensor Park, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Edensor Park has seen approximately 26 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years ending in June 2021. This totals an estimated 132 homes, with 12 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. The area has experienced population decline, yet housing supply has remained adequate relative to demand, resulting in a balanced market with good buyer choice.

New properties are constructed at an average expected construction cost value of $305,000, aligning with regional trends. Compared to Greater Sydney, Edensor Park shows roughly half the construction activity per person and ranks among the 43rd percentile nationally, indicating constrained buyer choice and supporting interest in existing homes. This is below the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. Building activity consists of 93.0% standalone homes and 7.0% medium to high-density housing, maintaining Edensor Park's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited for buyers seeking space.

The location has approximately 392 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Edensor Park is expected to grow by 315 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
