Sales Detail
Haberfield has an estimated 6,718 residents, up from 6,480 at the 2021 Census — a change of 238 people, or 3.7%. That puts 2,811 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
Drawing on geographic population updates from the ABS and subsequent address verifications by AreaSearch, the suburb of Haberfield has an estimated residency of 6,718 individuals as of May 2026. This represents a 3.7% expansion, or an additional 238 people, relative to the 2021 Census headcount of 6,480. This growth calculation incorporates an AreaSearch benchmark of 6,701 residents established via the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 22 validated new addresses confirmed post-census. The resulting population density stands at 2,810 persons per square kilometer, which ranks within the top quartile of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 3.7% post-census growth rate trails the broader SA4 region's expansion of 6.6% by 2.9 percentage points, highlighting stable demand. Inward overseas migration functioned as the exclusive catalyst for population increases over recent timeframes. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 using 2022 baseline records are utilized for each SA2 zone, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts built from a 2021 baseline where national data is unavailable. Age cohort growth trends extracted from these sources are extended to span the years 2032 through 2041. Future demographic trajectories point toward growth in the bottom quartile nationwide for the suburb of Haberfield, which is projected to add 21 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, translating to a long-term expansion of 0.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
26 new dwellings have been approved in Haberfield over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
According to building permit data compiled by the ABS and allocated to local levels, approvals in Haberfield average approximately 5 new dwellings annually, amounting to 26 housing starts over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 2 approvals recorded. With new resident intake averaging 1.4 individuals per completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply has aligned closely with demand to support balanced market conditions, although the ratio surged to 70 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, suggesting tightening capacity and heightened interest.
The average construction value for new dwellings sits at $974,000, indicating that development activity is heavily weighted toward upscale properties. Meanwhile, commercial construction permits totaling $3.4 million have been documented this financial year, reflecting a local economy dominated by residential uses. Recent residential construction activity comprises 14.0% detached houses and 86.0% multi-unit or attached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density options offers attainable pathways for first-time buyers, investors, and downsizers. This composition contrasts sharply with the established inventory, where freestanding houses make up 80.0% of properties, signaling a scarcity of vacant land alongside shifting consumer lifestyles and affordability pressures. A ratio of 13382 people per approved dwelling highlights that Haberfield is an established, low-turnover market. Long-term forecasts indicate that Haberfield will gain 4 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. At current construction velocities, incoming residential supply is positioned to satisfy demand, ensuring favorable conditions for home purchasers and potentially laying the foundation for growth exceeding current projections.

3,682 residents of Haberfield are employed, from a labour force of 3,793. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 65.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,827, about 87% 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 exhibits high levels of educational attainment, with notable concentration in technology roles and a low unemployment rate of 2.9% according to aggregated statistical indicators. Active workers numbered 3,682 as of March 2026, keeping the local unemployment rate 1.2% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation lags the metropolitan average, sitting at 65.9% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 56.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related restrictions. The primary employment categories for local residents are professional & technical services, education & training, and health care & social assistance.
Local representation in the professional & technical sector is especially pronounced, running at 1.4 times the metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing roles are underrepresented, accounting for 2.8% of workers compared to the regional benchmark of 5.3%. A comparison of resident workers against locally based jobs suggests that this residential pocket provides few employment opportunities within its own boundaries. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures, which were consolidated from larger statistical regions, indicates that during the year to March 2026 the labour force shrank by 1.2% and employment dropped by 1.0%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% rise in employment alongside a 1.9% increase in the labour force, with unemployment decreasing only slightly. For further perspective on anticipated future demand in Haberfield, one may consult the national employment forecasts issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These outlooks span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with Haberfield’s current employment structure to project future growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth varies considerably. When these sectoral estimates are applied to Haberfield’s existing job mix, the area is expected to see employment rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, although it is important to note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation intended for illustration and does not incorporate 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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,480 at the 2021 Census → 6,718 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.
