Sales Detail
Narrabeen has an estimated 8,234 residents. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 93% of areas nationally. That puts 3,743 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
Following an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region and new address verifications by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Narrabeen has an estimated population of 8,234 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 21 residents (0.3%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 8,255 people. The adjustment is calculated from the resident population of 8,234, determined by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an extra 81 validated new addresses since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 3,742 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Growth was driven almost exclusively by arrivals from overseas, which acted as the sole source of population increases in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied to each SA2 region. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, NSW State Government projections from 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. The age-specific growth rates from these datasets are projected forward for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic shifts suggest a population rise slightly below the median of locations analyzed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Narrabeen projected to add 477 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing an overall expansion of 5.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
84 new dwellings have been approved in Narrabeen over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from broader statistical areas indicates that the suburb of Narrabeen averaged approximately 16 new residential approvals per year, totaling an estimated 84 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 26 approvals have been registered. Because the population decreased recently, the supply of new homes has likely matched demand to provide buyers with options, while new builds carry an average value of $717,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium properties. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $2.0 million were logged this financial year, emphasizing the dominant residential character of the neighborhood.
Per capita building activity in the suburb of Narrabeen is roughly 69% of the level seen in Greater Sydney, placing it in the 15th percentile of locations analyzed across the country, which limits choice for buyers and helps sustain demand for established properties. This rate is also below the national average, highlighting the mature state of the local market and suggesting potential planning restrictions. Recent building starts consist of 47.0% detached houses and 53.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on medium and high-density options provides lower price entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. New projects favor detached dwellings more than the existing housing profile (16.0% at the Census), showing sustained demand for family homes. A ratio of approximately 1095 people for every approval highlights the established nature of the area. Looking forward, the suburb of Narrabeen is projected to add 477 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Construction levels are matching projected population changes, though home buyers may face increased competition as the population increases.

4,219 residents of Narrabeen are employed, from a labour force of 4,440. Unemployment sits at 5.0%, with participation at 60.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,135, about 87% 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 Narrabeen has a highly educated workforce with a significant proportion of professionals, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.0% derived from aggregated statistical data. In March 2026, 4,219 residents were employed. The local unemployment rate sits 0.8% higher than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while the participation rate of 60.5% is notably lower than the metropolitan average of 69.1%. Census data showed that a substantial 44.8% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. The primary sectors employing residents are construction, professional & technical services, and health care & social assistance.
The local workforce has a notable concentration in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing accounts for only 2.8% of workers, compared to 5.3% in Greater Sydney. The mismatch between the working population and local jobs at the Census indicates that this residential area offers few local employment options. According to SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, the labor force expanded by 1.0% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 0.5%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, the labor force expand by 1.9%, and unemployment decline slightly. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts were compared to the local industry mix to project employment trends. While nationwide employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry distribution suggests employment for residents could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that excludes 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 — 81 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,255 at the 2021 Census → 8,234 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.
