Sales Detail
North Bondi has an estimated 9,859 residents, up from 9,290 at the 2021 Census — a change of 569 people, or 6.1%. Overseas migration accounts for 76.0% of that increase. That puts 7,825 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 investigations of ABS demographic updates for the broader region and recent address validations conducted by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of North Bondi has a population calculated to be approximately 9,859 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 569 people (6.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,290 residents. The variation is derived from a resident headcount of 9,820, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 10 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 7,824 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of areas analyzed by AreaSearch, highlighting the high demand for local land.
The 6.1% expansion rate of the suburb of North Bondi since the 2021 census outpaced the wider SA3 region (5.6%), establishing it as a local growth frontrunner. The upward population trajectory was largely propelled by arrivals from overseas, who made up roughly 76.0% of the overall population growth during recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 territories where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Anticipated growth rates for different age cohorts derived from these datasets are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transformations, population expansion is projected to track slightly below the national median, with the suburb of North Bondi growing by 799 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 7.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
104 new dwellings have been approved in North Bondi over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 10% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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 by AreaSearch, mapped from statistical data, shows the suburb of North Bondi averaged roughly 20 new home approvals annually, totaling an estimated 104 residential approvals over the last 5 financial periods (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 16 during FY-26 so far. Because the resident count declined during the preceding period, the volume of new completions has likely satisfied local demand, providing buyers with adequate options, while new builds carry an average construction value of $1,411,000, illustrating developer prioritization of the high-end, luxury property sector. Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $39.7 million have been logged in the current financial year, demonstrating active commercial development traction.
Compared to Greater Sydney, building activity per capita in the suburb of North Bondi stands at roughly 75% of the level, placing the area in the 15th percentile of locations analyzed across the country, which translates to fewer choices for buyers and elevates demand for pre-existing houses. This rate of development also falls short of the countrywide average, reflecting the established status of the locality and pointing to possible zoning restrictions. Recent residential construction consists of 10.0% free-standing houses and 90.0% semi-detached homes or units. A concentration on high-density residential designs offers more accessible price points and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time purchasers. The region registers approximately 1092 residents for every single residential approval, which points to a mature real estate market. Moving forward, the suburb of North Bondi is projected to add 760 residents by 2041, according to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. Although construction volumes are keeping pace with growth forecasts, purchasers could face stronger competition as the population increases.

6,247 residents of North Bondi are employed, from a labour force of 6,410. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 79.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,655, about 78% 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 North Bondi is characterized by a highly educated resident workforce, particularly represented within the technology industry, an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, and an annual employment growth estimate of 1.3%, according to aggregated statistical boundary data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, 6,247 local citizens were employed, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.6% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and labor market engagement significantly elevated (79.3% relative to 69.1% across Greater Sydney). Census returns indicate a high proportion of individuals working from home at 63.1%, though this may be influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods.
The primary employment fields for working residents are professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance. Local employment is highly specialized in professional & technical services, which has a representation rate 1.9 times higher than the regional benchmark. In contrast, health care & social assistance is underrepresented at 10.2% compared to the regional benchmark of 14.1%. Given the difference between the Census working population and resident counts, this highly residential zone seems to provide few local employment options. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader geographic areas shows that for the 12 months ending March 2026, the employed population grew by 1.3% while the total labor force also rose by 1.3%, maintaining a stable rate of unemployment. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, the labor force expand by 1.9%, and unemployment decrease slightly. Employment forecasts for Australia published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective worker demand in the suburb of North Bondi. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Although nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of the suburb of North Bondi suggests a local job holder increase of 7.5% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for visualization that does not incorporate localized population changes.

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,290 at the 2021 Census → 9,859 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 (SAL12994). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
