This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
Based on evaluations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Ettalong Beach has an estimated population of 5,823 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 662 residents (12.8%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 5,161 people. The figure is derived from the resident population of 5,811 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP figures and 99 validated new addresses registered since the Census. This population size equates to a density of 3,271 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Ettalong Beach in the top quartile of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 12.8% growth rate of the suburb of Ettalong Beach since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (2.6%) and the SA4 region, making it a regional growth leader. Population increases were primarily driven by overseas migration, which served as almost the sole driver of population growth in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic projections for each SA2 district, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this information, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year are utilized. Age group expansion rates from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic outlooks indicate an above-median population expansion relative to other statistical areas evaluated by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Ettalong Beach projected to add 882 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 14.9% across the 16 years.

The suburb of Ettalong Beach exhibits a high concentration of workers in health care & social assistance, at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 8.1% of local employment compared to 11.5% across the region.

According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 5.2% and the labor force expand by 5.3%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor force growth both match 1.9%, with unemployment decreasing slightly. Employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in the suburb of Ettalong Beach. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local occupation mix to model potential growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Applying these industry projections to the employment structure of the suburb of Ettalong Beach indicates that local employment would expand by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection that does not factor in localized 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 — 99 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,161 at the 2021 Census → 5,823 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.
