Sales Detail
Elderslie (Camden - NSW) has an estimated 8,318 residents, up from 7,878 at the 2021 Census — a change of 440 people, or 5.6%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 67.0% of that increase. That puts 1,584 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 evaluations of ABS population adjustments for the wider region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count of Elderslie is projected to be approximately 8,318 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 440 people (5.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 7,878 people. This shift is calculated from the resident population of 8,308, projected by AreaSearch after reviewing the most recent ERP data published by the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 82 verified new addresses since the Census date.
This size of population translates to a density ratio of 1,584 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the average observed across national destinations evaluated by AreaSearch. Over the last ten years, Elderslie has shown steady growth trends with a 3.4% compound annual growth rate, outperforming the SA3 region. Population expansion for the locality was chiefly driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 67.0% of total population additions during recent periods, though all factors including overseas migration and interstate migration were positive contributors. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age brackets from these combined datasets are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, a projected population growth exceeding the national median for statistical areas is anticipated, with the locality expected to grow by 1,833 persons to 2041 based on combined SA2-level projections, representing a cumulative increase of 21.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
210 new dwellings have been approved in Elderslie (Camden - NSW) over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 60% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 21, 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 AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approval statistics, distributed from regional data, Elderslie has recorded roughly 42 dwellings receiving planning approval annually, with an estimated 210 homes approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 20 so far in FY-26. With an average of 2.5 new residents annually added for each dwelling constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating healthy demand that reinforces property values, new residences are being constructed at an average value of $635,000, showing that developers are focusing on the upper-tier market segment with higher-end properties.
There have also been $528,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating a predominantly residential focus. When compared to Greater Sydney, Elderslie has slightly more development (18.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), balancing buyer options with support for current property values, although building activity has decelerated in recent years. New construction activity comprises 60.0% detached houses and 40.0% medium and high-density housing, indicating an increasing supply of medium-density choices producing a blend of options across price ranges, from traditional family housing to more affordable compact alternatives. This signifies a clear departure from the area's existing housing (currently 86.0% houses), indicating decreasing availability of buildable sites and reflecting shifting lifestyles and the demand for more diverse, affordable housing options. With around 284 people per dwelling approval, Elderslie exhibits features of a low density area. Population projections suggest Elderslie will add 1,823 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting price increases.

5,040 residents of Elderslie (Camden - NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 5,191. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 80.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,698, about 81% 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
Elderslie features a skilled workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of just 2.9%, and 7.0% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 5,040 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.2% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (80.3% compared to Greater Sydney's 69.1%). Based on Census responses, a high 32.7% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Leading employment industries among residents comprise construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area shows particularly strong specialization in construction, with an employment share of 1.7 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical shows lower representation at 5.5% versus the regional average of 11.5%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 7.0% while labour force increased by 7.5%, resulting in unemployment rise by 0.4 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9%, labour force growth of 1.9%, with unemployment falling marginally. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Elderslie. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Elderslie's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 82 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,878 at the 2021 Census → 8,318 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.
