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 Nov 2025, Edensor Park's estimated population is around 10,207, a decrease of 72 people since the 2021 Census which reported 10,279 inhabitants. This decline reflects an inferred resident population of 10,194 based on AreaSearch validation following the latest ABS ERP data release in June 2024 and additional validated new addresses since the Census date. The suburb's population density is 3,292 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Between the Census and Nov 2025, Edensor Park experienced a 0.7% decline while its SA3 area achieved 2.2% growth, indicating divergent population trends. Overseas migration contributed approximately 78.0% of overall population gains in 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 this data.

Future population trends suggest an increase just below the median of national statistical areas, with Edensor Park expected to gain 461 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total growth of 4.4% 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

Edensor Park has had approximately 26 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling around 132 homes. In FY-2026 so far, there have been 8 approvals recorded. The area has experienced population decline but housing supply has remained adequate relative to demand, resulting in a balanced market with good buyer choice.

New properties are constructed at an average value of $305,000, below the regional average, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers compared to Greater Sydney. Edensor Park shows approximately half the construction activity per person nationally and places among the 43rd percentile of areas assessed, indicating relatively constrained buyer choice and supporting interest in existing homes. New building activity is predominantly standalone homes at 93.0%, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. The location has approximately 392 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area.

According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Edensor Park is expected to grow by 446 residents through to 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.

AreaSearch analysis reveals Edensor Park recording weaker employment conditions than most comparable areas nationwide

Edensor Park's workforce is skilled with strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors. Its unemployment rate was 5.1% as of June 2024.

Employment growth over the past year was estimated at 5.7%. As of June 2025, 4,729 residents are 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 45.7% compared to 60.0%. The dominant employment sectors among residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.

Manufacturing is particularly specialized with an employment share 1.8 times the regional level. However, professional & technical services have limited presence at 6.3% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Employment opportunities locally appear limited as indicated by the count of Census working population versus resident population. Between June 2024 and June 2025, employment levels increased by 5.7% while labour force grew by 5.0%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point decrease in unemployment. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 2.6%, labour force growth of 2.9%, with unemployment rising by 0.3 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia (Sep-22) suggest national employment will expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Edensor Park's employment mix indicates local employment should increase by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, although this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localized population projections.
