Detail
According to population updates from the ABS for the region and address data verified by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Fairfield (NSW) has a population estimated to be approximately 19,677 in May 2026. This indicates a rise of 1,081 residents (5.8%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 18,596 individuals. The estimate is based on a resident population of 19,649 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 193 verified new addresses added since the census. The population size yields a density of 4,461 residents per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top 10% of areas evaluated nationally by AreaSearch and highlights the high demand for local land.
The growth rate of 5.8% since the census is within 1.3 percentage points of the state average of 7.1%, showing solid growth characteristics. The main driver of this expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 92.0% of the total population growth over recent periods. Projections for each SA2 region from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch. For any SA2 regions where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline, are used. Age bracket growth trends from these summaries are projected forward to the years 2032 to 2041. Based on expected demographic trends, the suburb of Fairfield (NSW) is projected to experience a significant population rise, ranking in the top quartile of statistical areas nationwide. The community is anticipated to grow by 5,896 individuals by 2041 under these aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 29.8% over the 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
782 new dwellings have been approved in Fairfield (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 156 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 170 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 18% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 58, 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
Analysis of building approval statistics from the ABS indicates that the locality averages approximately 156 residential approvals annually, totaling 782 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 54 approved during FY-26. Since the area added an average of only 0.5 new residents per year for each home built over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, supply remains ahead of or equal to demand, offering buyers more options and accommodating potential population increases beyond projections. The average estimated value of these new homes is $409,000.
Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $32.2 million during the current financial year, showing active commercial investment. Recent construction approvals consist of 18.0% standalone houses and 82.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This concentration of high-density housing provides more attainable purchase options, drawing downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from the existing housing stock, where standalone houses currently make up 40.0% of dwellings, pointing to a decrease in vacant development land and reflecting changing lifestyle preferences and housing costs. There are approximately 300 people for each approved dwelling, representing a low-density development market. Projections show the population expanding by 5,868 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Current building trends seem to align well with this expected growth, encouraging balanced market dynamics without significant upward price pressure.

6,211 residents of Fairfield (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 7,168. Unemployment sits at 13.4%, with participation at 43.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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 local workforce is diverse and skilled, with an unemployment rate of 13.4% and an estimated annual employment growth rate of 5.9% based on local statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,211, though the unemployment rate is 9.2% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, pointing to potential for workforce development. Furthermore, the participation rate of 43.0% is substantially lower than the 69.1% recorded across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 26.7% of working residents worked from home, a figure that may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The region shows a high concentration of manufacturing jobs, with a share that is 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for only 5.6% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. The imbalance between the Census working population and resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are limited in this primarily residential area. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated across the broader region indicates that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 5.9% and the labor force expanded by 4.9%, leading to a drop in the unemployment rate of 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a very small decline in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide context for future labor demand. These five and ten-year forecasts are applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests a potential growth of 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific 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 — 193 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,596 at the 2021 Census → 19,677 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.
