Sales Detail
Hillsdale has an estimated 5,286 residents, down from 5,647 at the 2021 Census — a change of 361 people, or 6.4%. The population has thinned by an average 1.7% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 9,274 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
In the suburb of Hillsdale, the population stands at approximately 5,286 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS updates and post-Census address validations. Compared to the 5,647 residents counted in the 2021 Census, this indicates a decline of 361 people (6.4%). The calculation stems from AreaSearch's review of the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 5 validated new addresses added following the Census. With 9,273 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density places it within the top 10% of areas evaluated across the country by AreaSearch, underscoring intense demand for local land.
International migration served as the primary demographic driver, accounting for roughly 65.0% of recent population additions, while interstate migration and natural increase likewise registered positive contributions. For future projections, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures published in 2024 using 2022 as a base, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 data with a 2021 base where required, applying cohort growth trends across all regions for 2032 to 2041. Demographic modeling indicates the suburb of Hillsdale will experience an expansion slightly under the median of benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch, adding 550 persons by 2041 via aggregated SA2 metrics, representing an overall increase of 10.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
44 new dwellings have been approved in Hillsdale over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. 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
An evaluation of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Hillsdale has averaged approximately 8 residential dwelling approvals annually, amounting to around 44 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, no approvals have been recorded. Amid recent demographic contraction, additions to housing stock appear to have matched local requirements, maintaining healthy availability for purchasers. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $1.7 million during this financial year, underlining the district's predominantly residential character. Residential development in Hillsdale tracks significantly lower than the broader Sydney metropolitan footprint, sitting 80.0% below the regional per capita benchmark.
Such constrained additions to dwelling supply typically bolster value retention and buyer interest across existing properties. Construction volumes also trail nationwide figures, pointing to established market conditions and potential planning or physical constraints. Furthermore, all recent residential approvals have comprised apartments or townhouses, delivering accessible price points that cater to investors, first-time purchasers, and downsizers. Recording roughly 10648 people per dwelling approval, Hillsdale exhibits the traits of an established property market. Demographic forecasts suggest Hillsdale will add 550 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. Should building rates persist at these modest levels, dwelling creation could fall behind population expansion, heightening buyer competition and underpinning upward pressure on home prices.

2,490 residents of Hillsdale are employed, from a labour force of 2,637. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 59.4%. 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 4,415, 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
Statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch highlight a well-qualified local workforce spanning a range of industries, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 5.6%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,490, while the local jobless rate sat 1.4% higher than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, and the participation rate trailed at 59.4% against 68.9% regionally. Census returns revealed that 27.4% of workers operated from home, though these figures were captured during pandemic lockdown conditions. Local employment is predominantly concentrated within retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance. Transport, postal & warehousing shows a particularly heavy representation, employing residents at 1.9 times the regional incidence.
Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 6.5% of the local workforce, contrasting with 11.5% throughout Greater Sydney. A comparison between Census working figures and resident worker totals suggests the area provides limited internal job opportunities, remaining largely dormitory and residential in function. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026 shows that Hillsdale experienced a 5.0% contraction in its labour force and a 4.3% reduction in employed individuals, which together lowered the unemployment rate by 0.7 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney, by contrast, employment expanded by 1.9%, the labour supply grew by 1.9%, and unemployment edged slightly down. Future workforce requirements can be assessed via Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment outlooks across five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over a decade, though performance varies by industry. Mapping these sector-level expectations against the local job profile suggests Hillsdale's employment could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that does not incorporate localized 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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,647 at the 2021 Census → 5,286 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.
