Detail
Based on demographic assessments of ABS regional updates, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Five Dock is estimated to be approximately 10,385 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 562 people (5.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,823 people. This trend is derived from a resident population of 10,371, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and an additional 80 validated new addresses since the Census date. With this population level, the area has a density ratio of 4,221 persons per square kilometer, positioning it in the top 10% of countrywide locations analyzed by AreaSearch, indicating that land here is a highly coveted resource.
The 5.7% growth of the suburb of Five Dock since the 2021 census outperformed the SA3 area (5.5%), establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population increases were mostly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 75.0% of total population growth in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 areas lacking this data, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level are used, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline. Age group growth rates from these datasets are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, growth in the lower quartile of national statistical areas is anticipated, with the area projected to add 232 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total gain of 2.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
183 new dwellings have been approved in Five Dock over the past five years, an average of 36 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1,252, 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 analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, approximately 36 new dwellings have been approved annually in Five Dock, with an estimated 183 homes approved over the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 1,148 so far in FY-26. An average of 2 people per year moved to the area per completed new home during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating strong demand that supports local property values. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $910,000, showing that developers are focusing on the higher-end premium market.
Furthermore, $20.0 million in commercial development approvals was registered this financial year, showing ongoing commercial investment. Relative to Greater Sydney, the rate of new dwelling approvals per person in Five Dock is about two-thirds, placing it in the 68th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, though construction activity has quickened in recent years. Recent building activity consists of 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% medium and high-density housing. This emphasis on denser housing options offers more affordable entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 198 people per approval, the area is characterized as a low density location. Demographic projections indicate that Five Dock will add 218 residents up to 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current building rates, housing supply is expected to satisfy demand, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

5,861 residents of Five Dock are employed, from a labour force of 6,031. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 69.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,290, about 89% 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
Five Dock possesses a highly educated labor force, with the technology sector being notably well-represented, and an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, based on AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 5,861 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.3% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation matches the Greater Sydney level of 69.1%. Census responses indicate that a high proportion of residents, 51.0%, worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be taken into account. Local employment is largely concentrated in the sectors of health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The area exhibits a specific employment specialization in education & training, with its employment share reaching 1.2 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, retail trade is underrepresented at 7.4% compared to the regional average of 9.3%. The highly residential character of the area suggests it offers few local jobs, as shown by comparing the count of the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, the 12-month period experienced a labor force decline of 0.9% alongside an employment decrease of 0.8%, which kept unemployment largely stable. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, labor force expand by 1.9%, and unemployment decrease slightly. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia from May-25 provide additional context on prospective local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been mapped against local employment profiles to estimate growth. While countrywide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local employment mix suggests employment should grow by 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (note this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration and excludes local 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 — 80 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,823 at the 2021 Census → 10,385 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.
