Sales Detail
Hill Top (Wingecarribee - NSW) has an estimated 2,800 residents. Density is about 74 people per 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 updates across the broader region and post-Census validated address counts by AreaSearch, the suburb of Hill Top (Wingecarribee - NSW) has an estimated population of around 2,800 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,792 people, this represents an addition of 8 people (0.3%). This estimate builds upon an earlier resident population figure of 2,795 determined by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 13 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census date. With a density of 73 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space per resident with room to accommodate potential future building.
The 0.3% local expansion rate since census trails the broader SA3 area (2.6%) by only 2.3 percentage points, highlighting sound growth metrics. In recent times, population additions have stemmed predominantly from natural increase, which accounted for approximately 81.0% of all gains. For demographic forecasting, AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, substituting NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 using 2021 baseline data where gaps exist. Age-specific expansion patterns from these series are extended locally across the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, demographic growth in the suburb of Hill Top (Wingecarribee - NSW) is expected to rank within the top quartile of regional areas nationwide. Projections aggregated to the SA2 level anticipate an increase of 738 persons out to 2041, which equates to an overall gain of 26.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
25 new dwellings have been approved in Hill Top (Wingecarribee - NSW) over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 0.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, 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
ABS building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch show that approximately 5 residential building approvals have been granted per year in Hill Top, amounting to an estimated 25 homes across the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 so far, 1 approvals have been lodged. Given recent population decline, this pace of residential construction provides sufficient new supply for prospective buyers, while approved dwellings carry an expected average construction cost of $556,000—moderately higher than regional benchmarks and indicative of high-grade construction standards. Non-residential development has been restricted to $175,000 in commercial approvals during the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the locality.
Residential building volumes in Hill Top are significantly subdued relative to Rest of NSW, sitting 86.0% below regional average per person. This constrained flow of new residential construction tends to bolster buyer competition and support valuations across existing stock. Construction rates also sit below national benchmarks, pointing to the suburb's established character and possible regulatory or planning constraints. All recent approvals have comprised standalone detached houses, preserving low-density streetscapes that appeal to buyers looking for larger allotments. A metric of 5591 people per approved dwelling highlights the quiet, subdued development environment. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Hill Top is projected to add 733 residents by 2041. If residential construction remains at its current modest tempo, dwelling supply may fall short of demographic expansion, likely driving up demand and placing upward pressure on property prices.

1,439 residents of Hill Top (Wingecarribee - NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 1,466. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 67.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,123, about 76% 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
AreaSearch data shows Hill Top with a well-rounded workforce distributed across blue-collar and white-collar roles, highlighted by an outsized presence in construction, a low unemployment rate of 1.8%, and steady labour conditions over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 1,439 residents are employed, with local joblessness tracking 2.3% lower than the 4.1% seen across Regional NSW. Labour force engagement is exceptionally strong at 67.0%, compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. According to Census findings, 17.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary sources of resident employment are construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Local workers display a notable concentration in manufacturing, where employment representation is 1.7 times the regional level. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.9% of local jobs, well beneath the 5.3% share observed across Regional NSW. A comparison between Census working figures and the resident population points to limited employment opportunities situated directly within the local boundaries. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures over the past 12-month period reveals that the local labour force expanded by 0.5% while total employment fell by 0.4%, lifting the local unemployment rate by 0.9 percentage points. Over the same timeline, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9%, the labour supply contract by 0.4%, and joblessness climb by 0.5 percentage points. Looking forward, national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for local workforce trajectory. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector-level performance varies. Weighting these industry projections against the local job profile suggests Hill Top employment could rise by 5.8% over five years and 12.4% over ten years, noting that this simple illustrative extrapolation does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 13 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,792 at the 2021 Census → 2,800 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 Aug 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.
