Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations of broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside address validations post-Census, the suburb of Matraville houses approximately 10,716 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 791 people (8.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 9,925 people. Such adjustments stem from an Estimated Resident Population base of 10,695 determined by AreaSearch via the June 2025 ABS ERP update, combined with 141 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, population density sits at 2,726 persons per square kilometer, ranking the locality within the upper quartile of Australian areas monitored by AreaSearch.
Outpacing the broader state benchmark of 7.3%, the suburb of Matraville demonstrated strong regional leadership with its 8.0% post-2021 census advance. International arrivals served as the primary catalyst, delivering around 83.0% of recent population additions. Population projections utilized by AreaSearch integrate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset keyed to a 2022 base year across SA2 boundaries, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 series based in 2021 where necessary. Age-specific trajectories derived from these models have likewise been applied across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Anticipated demographic trends indicate that the suburb of Matraville will record growth slightly below the nationwide median, expanding by 478 persons through to 2041 under SA2 aggregations, which corresponds to an overall 16-year increase of 4.3%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
248 new dwellings have been approved in Matraville over the past five years, an average of 49 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 53 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 19% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 57, broadly in line with 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across localized statistical zones indicates that roughly 49 residential dwellings receive permits in the locality each year. Over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), roughly 248 residences were approved, including 57 recorded during FY-25 to date. Housing demand remains solid, absorbing an average of 2.2 new residents annually per dwelling completed across the 5 financial years spanning between FY-21 and FY-25, which provides healthy underlying support for local property values. Newly constructed homes average an estimated building cost of $626,000, exceeding standard regional levels and underlining an emphasis on higher-end builds.
Meanwhile, commercial construction approvals totaled $609,000 within the current financial year, highlighting an agenda predominantly centered on residential projects. Recent residential construction activity is heavily weighted toward medium-to-high density formats, comprising 81.0% townhouses or apartments alongside 19.0% standalone houses. This shift toward compact living introduces more attainable price brackets suitable for downsizers, first-time purchasers, and property investors. It represents a notable departure from the established neighborhood structure (where standalone houses currently constitute 48.0%), responding to tighter land availability while accommodating changing resident lifestyles and affordability constraints. With approvals tracking at roughly 207 people per dwelling approval, the local development pipeline remains active. Longer-term demographic forecasts from AreaSearch quarterly modeling anticipate an influx of 457 residents by 2041. Given the prevailing rate of construction, incoming residential stock appears well placed to satisfy buyer demand, establishing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population gains above existing projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Botany Cogeneration Plant
Withdrawn State Significant Development SSD-10373 for a thermal energy-from-waste cogeneration plant at the Opal Botany Mill site. The Suez/Veolia and Opal proposal sought to process about 165000 tonnes of residual waste per year to produce steam and electricity for the mill. The application was lodged in 2019 and withdrawn after NSW regulatory changes in 2022 effectively prohibited this type of facility at Matraville. Randwick City Council reported in March 2025 that there is currently no Matraville incinerator proposal, but opposed NSW EPA options that could create a future planning pathway for similar applications.

Portal Matraville
Two-level multi-storey warehouse and distribution facility of approximately 19,757 sqm with heavy-duty floor loading, corporate offices, EV charging and a minimum 4-Star Green Star rating. Practical completion Q2 2024. Asset acquired by Cabot Properties in Sep 2024.
5,286 residents of Matraville are employed, from a labour force of 5,734. Unemployment sits at 7.8%, with participation at 64.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Workforce metrics compiled by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries show an educated resident base with strong participation in professional roles, alongside an unemployment rate of 7.8% and yearly job growth estimated at 3.0%. There are 5,286 employed local residents as of March 2026. Local unemployment sits 3.7% above the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, pointing to capacity for labor market improvement, while labor force participation trails standard regional levels (64.8% versus 68.9% in Greater Sydney). Census figures showed that 38.9% of workers operated from home, though this metric was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.
Local workers are primarily employed across health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. Concentration is notably pronounced in education & training, where the local employment share exceeds the regional benchmark by 1.3 times. In contrast, professional & technical positions account for 8.9%, trailing the broader regional proportion of 11.5%. Although employment hubs operate locally, comparisons between Census resident worker numbers and local job counts demonstrate that a considerable portion of the community travels to surrounding districts for work. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch, aggregated from broader statistical areas, shows that over the 12 months to March 2026, employment rose by 3.0% and the labour force grew by 2.0%, which led to a 0.8 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. This trend differs from Greater Sydney, where employment increased by 1.9%, the labour force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment decreased only slightly. Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context for anticipated future demand in Matraville. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid on the local employment profile to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific projections are applied to Matraville’s employment composition, local employment is projected to rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, though this simple weighting extrapolation is for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised 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 — 141 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,925 at the 2021 Census → 10,716 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.
