This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
North Haven (NSW) has an estimated 1,580 residents, down from 1,619 at the 2021 Census — a change of 39 people, or 2.4%. The population has thinned by an average 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. That puts 269 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
Based on statistical assessments of regional updates from the ABS and address registers validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of North Haven (NSW) is calculated to have approximately 1,580 residents as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 39 residents (2.4%) from the 2021 Census, when the headcount was 1,619. This adjustment is based on a resident total of 1,579 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS estimated resident population release from June 2025 alongside 5 validated new addresses added post-Census. Such a population size represents a density of 268 persons per square kilometer, which leaves ample space per resident and opportunity for future expansion.
The main driver of population gains lately was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 85.0% of the overall increases. Projections for each SA2 region published in 2024 using 2022 as the base period by the ABS and Geoscience Australia are utilized by AreaSearch. For SA2 territories where this dataset is unavailable, the 2022 projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, using 2021 as the base year, are applied. The growth rates by age group from these combined sources are also projected for the suburb of North Haven (NSW) for the period from 2032 to 2041. Evaluating these anticipated demographic changes, the population growth is expected to exceed the regional median across Australia, with the local count projected to rise by 280 residents by 2041, representing a total expansion of 17.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
27 new dwellings have been approved in North Haven (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 3.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of statistical building approvals compiled by AreaSearch indicates that the suburb of North Haven (NSW) recorded an average of roughly 5 residential building approvals annually, which adds up to approximately 27 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, no approvals have been registered. In light of the recent downward trend in population, the volume of new supply has likely aligned well with demand, providing buyers with suitable options. Furthermore, commercial building approvals valued at $2.5 million were logged during this financial year, which highlights the predominantly residential makeup of the locality.
Compared with the Rest of NSW, development pace in the suburb of North Haven (NSW) is remarkably low, sitting at 57.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. This restricted supply pipeline typically bolsters demand and prices for existing properties. Construction volume also falls short of the nationwide average, reflecting the mature nature of the locality and pointing to potential zoning constraints. All recent residential builds have consisted of detached houses, which preserves the established low-density profile focused on spacious family residences. Interestingly, builders are creating a higher share of traditional houses than the proportion recorded at the Census, which was 61.0%, indicating persistent appetite for family-oriented homes. The ratio of 526 people for each dwelling approval highlights the subdued nature of building activity in the local area. Long-term forecasts indicate the suburb of North Haven (NSW) will gain 279 residents by 2041, relative to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should construction continue at its current pace, the supply of housing may fall short of population gains, which could intensify competition among home buyers and encourage stronger capital appreciation.

512 residents of North Haven (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 540. Unemployment sits at 5.2%, with participation at 37.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,344, about 85% 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 Haven (NSW) features a balanced labor market containing both professional and trade positions, alongside solid representation in essential services, with unemployment recorded at 5.2% according to regional statistical summaries compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 512 employed residents, with the jobless rate standing 1.1% higher than the Regional NSW mark of 4.1%, and labor participation falling well short at 37.6% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census records indicate that a modest 10.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic lockdowns.
Local employment is heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, construction, and accommodation & food. The concentration of workers in accommodation & food is particularly high, reaching 1.7 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing comprises only 0.8% of the workforce compared to 5.3% across the wider region. Comparing the Census count of working residents against the overall population suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat restricted. Based on statistical evaluations of SALM and ABS figures aggregated across broader regions, the labor force in the suburb of North Haven (NSW) shrank by 7.2% and total employment fell by 7.9% during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, leading to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This compares to Regional NSW, where employment dropped by 0.9%, the workforce declined by 0.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.5 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future labor needs. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local employment sectors to project growth trends. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries vary. Applying these projections to the employment profile of the suburb of North Haven (NSW) suggests that local employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not incorporate 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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,619 at the 2021 Census → 1,580 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.
