Detail
Drawing on ABS population statistics for the surrounding region alongside address verifications by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Edgecliff has an estimated population of 2,577 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 78 people (3.1%) from the 2,499 citizens counted during the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from a resident population figure of 2,576, which was calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and incorporating 14 newly validated addresses post-Census. Such a population size results in a density of 8,053 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest 10% of all areas analyzed by AreaSearch and indicating that local land is an extremely coveted commodity.
The suburb's post-Census growth rate of 3.1% trails the broader SA3 region (5.6%) by 2.5 percentage points, showing solid local growth dynamics. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for approximately 87.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 unit, published in 2024 with 2022 as the anchor year. For SA2 territories lacking this dataset, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year are substituted. Age-specific growth patterns derived from these sources are also mapped to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national median, with the local population expected to rise by 196 individuals by 2041 according to collective SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 7.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
28 new dwellings have been approved in Edgecliff over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 21, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from regional data, the suburb of Edgecliff averages roughly 5 residential approvals annually, yielding a total of approximately 28 residential approvals over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 20 approvals have been logged. As the population has contracted recently, this volume of new residential supply has likely matched local demand, providing buyers with options, while new builds carry an average valuation of $2,232,000, pointing to a developer focus on high-end, premium properties. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $7.1 million during this financial year, highlighting that the locality remains predominantly residential.
Relative to Greater Sydney, building volume per capita in the suburb of Edgecliff is about three-quarters of the regional level, ranking in the 19th percentile of areas nationwide, which restricts choice for prospective buyers and sustains demand for established homes. This level of activity also falls short of national benchmarks, pointing to a mature local market and prospective space limits. The composition of new residential approvals stands at 17.0% detached houses and 83.0% apartments or townhouses. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more attainable price points and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 860 residents per approved dwelling, the suburb of Edgecliff exhibits characteristics of a highly mature property market. Long-term forecasts indicate that the suburb of Edgecliff will gain 195 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Current building construction matches these projected growth trends, although prospective purchasers may face increased market competition as the population expands.

1,682 residents of Edgecliff are employed, from a labour force of 1,723. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 74.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The suburb of Edgecliff features a highly qualified labor force, with strong representation in the technology industry, a low unemployment rate of 2.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.4% over the preceding year, according to regional data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 1,682 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.7% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation reached 74.2% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census responses indicated that 63.3% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 restrictions.
The principal sectors of employment for local residents are professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance. The suburb shows a notable concentration in professional & technical services, with a workforce share that is 1.9 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, manufacturing is underrepresented, employing 2.1% of local workers compared to 5.7% across Greater Sydney. The ratio of 0.7 jobs for every local resident recorded at the Census points to a higher-than-average availability of employment within the immediate area. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from regional datasets, local employment grew by 2.4% and the labor force expanded by 2.3% over the 12 months ending March 2026, keeping the local unemployment rate relatively unchanged. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, alongside a minor reduction in unemployment. National employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate potential future demand patterns in the suburb of Edgecliff. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary greatly by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents could grow by 7.7% over five years and 15.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,499 at the 2021 Census → 2,577 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 May 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11382). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
