Sales Detail
Edmondson Park has an estimated 18,175 residents, up from 12,080 at the 2021 Census — a change of 6,095 people, or 50.5%. Growth has averaged 13.1% a year over five years, faster than 97% of areas nationally. 1,010 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 79.0% of that increase. That puts 2,615 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 investigations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region and recent address validations conducted by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Edmondson Park has an estimated population of 18,175 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 6,095 individuals (50.5%) from the 2021 Census, when the population stood at 12,080 people. This shift is calculated from the local population of 18,039, projected by AreaSearch after analyzing the June 2025 ABS Estimated Resident Population publication and incorporating 1,010 validated new addresses since the Census date. With these numbers, the suburb of Edmondson Park shows a density of 2,615 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the top quartile of all Australian locations monitored by AreaSearch.
The expansion rate of 50.5% since the 2021 census outpaced the state (7.1%) and Greater Sydney, making it a regional leader in growth. The gains were mostly propelled by domestic relocations, which accounted for roughly 79.0% of the population rise in recent times, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. In instances where SA2 locations lack this data, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. The age group expansion velocities from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, exceptional demographic expansion in the top 10 percent of the country is anticipated, with the suburb of Edmondson Park projected to add 9,073 residents by 2041, representing a total rise of 49.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,772 new dwellings have been approved in Edmondson Park over the past five years, an average of 354 a year. That places the area in the 100th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 327 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 87, well below 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
Based on analysis of ABS building approvals, Edmondson Park has averaged roughly 354 yearly dwelling approvals. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), approximately 1,772 residences were approved, with an additional 80 approvals recorded in FY-26 so far. With an average of 4.7 new residents for each completed home during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction is failing to keep pace with demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives up prices. The expected construction cost of these new dwellings averages $435,000, which is slightly above regional standards and points to a focus on quality.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $64.4 million this financial year, showing strong commercial momentum. Recent approvals consist of 29.0% detached houses and 71.0% multi-unit or attached dwellings. This orientation toward high-density options provides more affordable entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the current residential mix (which stands at 84.0% houses), indicating a decline in available land and reacting to modern lifestyles and affordability constraints. With approximately 72 people per approval, Edmondson Park displays the characteristics of a growing area. Population projections suggest Edmondson Park will add 8,937 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly figures. Under current construction trends, the volume of new dwellings is expected to satisfy demand, providing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond initial estimates.

10,910 residents of Edmondson Park are employed, from a labour force of 11,091. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 80.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 14,456, about 80% 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
The local workforce is highly qualified, with professional services strongly represented. The unemployment rate sits at a low 1.6%, and employment rose by an estimated 5.1% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 10,910 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 2.5% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 80.5% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records show that a high 42.0% of workers operated from home, though this may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions. The main industries employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical fields.
The area exhibits a high concentration in health care & social assistance, with local employment in this sector at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 8.8% of the local workforce, compared to 11.5% regionally. The area is heavily residential and provides few local jobs, as seen when comparing the Census working population against the resident population. According to SALM and ABS data for the broader region, local employment grew by 5.1% and the labor force expanded by 5.0% over the 12 months to March 2026, keeping the unemployment rate steady. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded employment and labor force growth of 1.9% and 1.9% respectively, alongside a minor decline. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context for future demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix yields projected employment increases of 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation that does not incorporate local 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 — 1,010 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,080 at the 2021 Census → 18,175 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 (SAL11386). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
