Sales Detail
Kariong has an estimated 6,388 residents, down from 6,485 at the 2021 Census — a change of 97 people, or 1.5%. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 97% of areas nationally. That puts 248 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
Analyzing population updates from the ABS for the surrounding region alongside newly validated addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the resident population of the suburb of Kariong is estimated to be approximately 6,388 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 97 people (1.5%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 6,485 residents. This demographic shift is calculated from the resident population of 6,388, which AreaSearch estimated using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures combined with 6 validated new addresses established post-Census. With this population level, the density ratio stands at 247 persons per square kilometer, indicating ample space for each resident and capacity for future housing projects.
Demographic expansion was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 63.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are utilized. Projected growth rates by age bracket from these combined data sources are applied across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest growth aligned with the lowest quartile of statistical areas nationwide, with the suburb of Kariong projected to add 6 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level modeling, representing an overall rise of 0.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
34 new dwellings have been approved in Kariong over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
AreaSearch assessment of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas shows that Kariong averages approximately 6 new residential approvals annually, with an estimated 34 homes approved over the last 5 financial years. In the current period of FY-26, 8 approvals have been registered. Because the local population has been declining, the housing supply has remained sufficient relative to demand, preserving a balanced market with options for buyers, while newly built properties average a value of $495,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, higher-end projects. Furthermore, $68,000 in commercial approvals have been recorded during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the area.
In comparison to Greater Sydney, Kariong exhibits very quiet residential construction, running 72.0% below regional average per person. This low volume of new homes generally supports demand and prices for existing stock. The rate is also below the national average, pointing to the established status of the neighborhood and indicating potential planning constraints. Recent building approvals consist of 67.0% standalone houses and 33.0% attached dwellings, showing a growing combination of multi-unit structures that provide options across different price ranges, from large family homes to compact, budget-friendly properties. This marks a shift from the current local housing stock, which is 92.0% houses, showing that vacant building land is becoming scarce, and reflecting modern lifestyles and demand for varied, affordable housing. An estimated 1171 people per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-activity environment for property development. Future forecasts indicate Kariong will add 6 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the supply of homes should easily satisfy demand, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces these predictions.

3,757 residents of Kariong are employed, from a labour force of 3,853. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 76.3%. 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 5,168, about 81% 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
Kariong has a highly skilled labor force with strong representation in key service industries, an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, and an estimated annual job growth rate of 3.2% based on aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 3,757 local residents in employment, representing an unemployment rate 1.6% below the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while labor force participation is exceptionally high at 76.3% compared to the Greater Sydney average of 69.1%. Census records indicate that a substantial 30.2% of employed residents worked from home, although this may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The local concentration in health care & social assistance is particularly high, tracking at 1.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, making up only 6.7% of local jobs compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The neighborhood offers few local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the Census working population against the number of employed residents. Based on AreaSearch processing of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from surrounding statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 3.2% alongside a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a slight reduction in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends within Kariong. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Although the nationwide workforce is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of growth varies significantly by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against Kariong's employment profile indicates that local employment is set to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation for illustration and does not incorporate localized population adjustments.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,485 at the 2021 Census → 6,388 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL12082). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
