Mosman has an estimated 29,391 residents, up from 28,329 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,062 people, or 3.7%. That puts 3,398 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 evaluations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses compiled by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Mosman has an estimated population of approximately 29,391 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 1,062 individuals (3.7%) compared to the 28,329 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated from a resident base of 29,374, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP numbers from June 2025 in combination with 67 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population count corresponds to a density of 3,397 residents per square kilometer, which ranks in the top quartile of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth of 3.7% in the suburb of Mosman is within 2.2 percentage points of the broader SA4 region's rate of 5.9%, showing competitive expansion metrics. This local demographic rise was largely propelled by arrivals from overseas, which accounted for roughly 90.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with a baseline year of 2022. For SA2 territories where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 scale are utilized, published in 2022 with a baseline year of 2021. The age group growth trajectories from these datasets are likewise applied to all locations for the period from 2032 to 2041. Projecting forward these population trends, the overall resident count in the suburb of Mosman is expected to contract by 505 individuals by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, growth is projected within particular age brackets, led by the cohort aged 85 and over, which is expected to expand by 1,337 individuals. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
267 new dwellings have been approved in Mosman over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 37% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 81, 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
Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of building approvals from the ABS, distributed from statistical area statistics, the suburb of Mosman has averaged roughly 53 residential approvals annually, amounting to an estimated 267 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current period of FY-26, 75 approvals have been registered. Given that the area has recorded a shrinking population, building volumes have been relatively sufficient, which is advantageous for purchasers, while incoming homes carry an average estimated construction cost of $2,095,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing high-end, premium projects. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $14.8 million have been logged in the current financial year, showing a moderate volume of non-residential development.
Relative to Greater Sydney, construction volumes per capita in the suburb of Mosman are 12.0% lower, placing it in the 43rd percentile of all locations analyzed nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains demand for established homes, even though building activity has quickened of late. This rate is also below the nationwide average, reflecting the established status of the suburb of Mosman and suggesting potential regulatory limitations. Approved residential projects consist of 37.0% freestanding houses and 63.0% medium to high-density options. This orientation toward denser housing styles provides more accessible purchase points and draws downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. The suburb of Mosman has approximately 388 individuals for every single residential approval, which is typical of an established community. Given that the resident count is projected to remain steady or contract, the suburb of Mosman is likely to experience less pressure on its housing stock, which could open up opportunities for property buyers.

15,780 residents of Mosman are employed, from a labour force of 16,252. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 64.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 25,799, about 88% 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
The suburb of Mosman is characterized by a highly qualified workforce, with notable representation in the technology industry, a low jobless rate of 2.9%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.9% over the past year, according to AreaSearch compilation of regional statistics. As of March 2026, there are 15,780 working residents, while the unemployment rate is 1.2% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and labor force participation is slightly below average at 64.5% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records indicate that a high proportion of residents, 65.7%, operated from home, though this may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
Local employment is largely centered in professional & technical services, financial & insurance services, and healthcare & social assistance. The suburb of Mosman displays a strong concentration in professional & technical services, with its share of jobs reaching 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, construction workers are underrepresented, accounting for only 4.2% of the local workforce compared to 8.6% in Greater Sydney. The highly residential character of the suburb of Mosman means local job opportunities are somewhat restricted, as shown by comparing the census counts of local workers against resident workers. According to AreaSearch’s examination of SALM and ABS figures compiled from larger statistical regions, the period leading up to March 2026 saw a 1.9% rise in employment alongside a 1.4% expansion in the labour force, which reduced the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, resulting in only a slight decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment outlooks published in May-25 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in Mosman. These forecasts, which span five and ten year horizons, have been overlaid with local employment data to gauge expected expansion trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Mosman’s current employment composition, local employment is anticipated to rise by 7.6% over five years and 15.0% over ten years. It should be noted that this is a basic weighting extrapolation meant for illustration and does not incorporate localized 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 — 67 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (28,329 at the 2021 Census → 29,391 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.
