Sales Detail
Padstow Heights has an estimated 3,605 residents. That puts 1,812 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 surrounding region, alongside new address details confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Padstow Heights has an estimated residency of 3,605 individuals as of May 2026. This indicates a minor addition of 11 residents, or 0.3%, from the 2021 Census, which documented a headcount of 3,594. The discrepancy is derived from a base population of 3,593 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population data, supplemented by 14 newly confirmed addresses since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,811 individuals per square kilometer, exceeding the typical level of Australian locales examined by AreaSearch.
In recent times, the main driver of population gains was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 80.0% of the total growth. Projections established by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 benchmarks, are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 district. Where such statistics are unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. The age-based expansion rates from these groupings are projected forward for all sectors from 2032 through 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, the suburb of Padstow Heights is set to experience population growth slightly below the national median for statistical regions, with an anticipated increase of 285 individuals by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing a total rise of 7.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
132 new dwellings have been approved in Padstow Heights over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 7.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 23% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, well below 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building permit data distributed across statistical sectors, the suburb of Padstow Heights has maintained an average of roughly 26 new home permits annually. This translates to an estimated 132 residences approved throughout the prior 5 fiscal years from FY-21 to FY-25, with two permits issued so far in FY-26. Amid recent population contraction, the volume of incoming housing has likely matched demand, providing buyers with ample options, while new builds carry a mean value of $483,000, indicating that builders are centering their efforts on the higher-end residential market.
Commercial permits have reached $589,000 for the current fiscal year, highlighting a focus that remains mostly residential. In comparison to the broader Sydney region, building rates in the suburb of Padstow Heights are somewhat high, standing at 27.0% above the metropolitan average per resident over the 5 year timeframe. This provides purchasers with options while supporting local real estate prices, even though construction momentum has slowed recently. The incoming housing supply consists of 23.0% standalone houses and 77.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings. Emphasizing denser housing options provides more budget-friendly entry points and caters to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a significant shift from the existing housing composition of 72.0% standalone houses, caused by a scarcity of buildable land and changing buyer preferences and budget constraints. With approximately 225 residents for each building permit, the suburb of Padstow Heights exhibits the profile of a low density community. Demographic predictions show the suburb of Padstow Heights will add 273 inhabitants by 2041, looking from the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the supply of homes should comfortably satisfy demand, establishing positive conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

2,040 residents of Padstow Heights are employed, from a labour force of 2,084. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 69.1%. 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 2,910, about 81% 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 Padstow Heights boasts a qualified talent pool, with significant representation in critical service fields, an unemployment rate sitting at a mere 2.1%, and an estimated job expansion of 1.4% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch compilation of regional statistics. In March 2026, 2,040 local residents were employed, while the joblessness rate was 2.0% under the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and labor force participation matched the metropolitan average of 69.1%. Census records show a high percentage of residents working from home at 49.5%, though this metric should be viewed in light of pandemic lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and construction. The community displays a particularly strong concentration in education and training, with employment representation reaching 1.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional and technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 8.1% of jobs compared to the regional benchmark of 11.5%. Because of its residential nature, the suburb of Padstow Heights has local job numbers that appear restricted when comparing the count of Census workers against the resident population. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics compiled by AreaSearch for surrounding statistical zones reveals that over the 12-month timeframe, employment grew by 1.4% while the labor pool expanded by 1.6%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.2 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, its workforce grow by 1.9%, and unemployment drop slightly. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth trends. Nationally, employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates showing significant variance across different sectors. Applying these industry forecasts to the local workforce composition suggests employment for the suburb of Padstow Heights will rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not integrate local population dynamics.

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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,594 at the 2021 Census → 3,605 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.
