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.

Sales Detail
Hillsdale has an estimated 5,290 residents, down from 5,647 at the 2021 Census — a change of 357 people, or 6.3%. The population has thinned by an average 1.6% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 9,281 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
According to data from the ABS and fresh address verification by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident population in Hillsdale is calculated to be approximately 5,290 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 357 residents (6.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 5,647 individuals. This update is derived from the estimate of 5,290 residents calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside four newly validated addresses after the Census. This population level results in a density of 9,280 individuals per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top 10% of all national locations tracked by AreaSearch and highlighting high demand for local land.
The chief contributor to population growth was overseas migration, which made up about 65.0% of the gains in recent times, though natural increase and interstate arrivals also remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 sectors lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year are applied. Age bracket growth trends from these data points are further projected for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, population expansion is projected to be slightly below the national median, with the locality expected to add 556 residents by 2041 under these aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 10.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
145 new dwellings have been approved in Hillsdale over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 5.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 36 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals from the ABS indicate that Hillsdale has averaged approximately 29 approved residential dwellings annually, totaling about 145 homes over the last 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with no approvals recorded so far in FY-26. Amidst recent population declines, this new housing volume has likely balanced demand to provide home buyers with adequate options, while construction values average $588,000, pointing to developer concentration on upmarket, higher-end properties. Additionally, there were $1.7 million in commercial development approvals registered this financial year, suggesting very quiet commercial building activity.
Hillsdale registers approximately 58% of the per-capita building activity seen in Greater Sydney, placing it in the 5th percentile of all areas evaluated across the nation, which restricts choices for buyers and helps maintain demand for pre-existing properties. Furthermore, new residential projects consist entirely of townhouses or apartments. Focusing on high-density housing options offers more budget-friendly entry points and meets the needs of downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. Having approximately 10648 people per approval indicates that Hillsdale is a fully developed, established area. Moving forward, projections suggest Hillsdale will add 556 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. Considering current construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting population growth beyond current estimates.

2,489 residents of Hillsdale are employed, from a labour force of 2,636. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 59.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,420, about 84% 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
Hillsdale has a well-educated labor force employed across various industries, and an unemployment rate of 5.6% based on aggregated regional data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 2,489 working residents, with an unemployment rate 1.4% higher than the 4.1% recorded in Greater Sydney, while labor force participation is notably lower at 59.1% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a high 27.4% of residents worked from home, though this may have been influenced by Covid-19 lock-downs. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
There is a particularly high concentration of workers in transport, postal & warehousing, which is 1.9 times the regional average. In contrast, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 6.5% of the workforce compared to 11.5% across the region. The area is heavily residential and appears to offer few local jobs, as shown by comparing the number of working residents to those employed locally in the Census. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader area shows that over the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 5.0% and employment fell by 4.3%, leading to a decrease of 0.7 percentage points in the unemployment rate. This stands in contrast to Greater Sydney, where employment increased by 1.9%, the labor force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment had a minor drop. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context for future demand in Hillsdale. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but these rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of Hillsdale suggests local employment could grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate 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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,647 at the 2021 Census → 5,290 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.
