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

As of Feb 2026, Edensor Park's estimated population is around 10,338, a rise from the 2021 Census figure of 10,279. This increase of 59 people (0.6%) is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of resident population at 10,192 following examination of ABS data released in June 2024 and validation of 13 new addresses since the Census date. The population density ratio is 3,334 persons per square kilometer, placing Edensor Park in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration contributed approximately 78.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 for areas not covered by the former data.

Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas until 2041. By 2041, Edensor Park is expected to increase by 461 persons based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of approximately 3.0% over the 17 years.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Edensor Park had around 26 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 132 homes. As of FY-26, 12 approvals have been recorded. The area has experienced population decline while housing supply remained adequate relative to demand, creating a balanced market with good buyer choice.

New properties are constructed at an average value of $305,000, in line with regional trends. Compared to Greater Sydney, Edensor Park shows half the construction activity per person and ranks among the 43rd percentile nationally, indicating relatively constrained buyer choice favouring existing homes. This is under the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. New building activity comprises 93.0% standalone homes and 7.0% medium to high-density housing, sustaining 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. By 2041, AreaSearch estimates Edensor Park will grow by 315 residents. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

The employment landscape in Edensor Park shows performance that lags behind national averages across key labour market indicators

Edensor Park has a skilled workforce with strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors. The unemployment rate was 5.1% as of September 2025. Employment growth over the past year was estimated at 5.1%.

This is based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. There are currently 4,640 residents employed while the unemployment rate is 0.9% higher than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%. Workforce participation in Edensor Park lags behind Greater Sydney at 57.2%, compared to 70.0%. According to Census responses, 33.3% of residents work from home, potentially influenced by Covid-19 lockdown impacts.

The dominant employment sectors include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Manufacturing is particularly specialized with an employment share 1.8 times the regional level. Professional & technical services have limited presence at 6.3%, compared to 11.5% regionally. Employment opportunities locally may be limited as indicated by the difference between working population and resident population counts. Between September 2024 and September 2025, employment levels increased by 5.1% while labour force grew by 4.0%. This resulted in a decrease in unemployment by 1.0 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labour force growth of 2.4%, and an increase in unemployment by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia, released in May-25, project national employment to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Edensor Park's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years. However, it is important to note that this extrapolation does not take into account localised population projections.
