Sales Detail
Potts Point has an estimated 7,813 residents, up from 7,183 at the 2021 Census — a change of 630 people, or 8.8%. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 12,602 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside new addresses validated post-Census, the suburb of Potts Point has an estimated population of approximately 7,813 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 630 people (8.8%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 7,183 people. Such movement is derived from an estimated resident count of 7,808 determined by AreaSearch from the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), coupled with an extra 2 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. With 12,601 persons per square kilometer, the locality places within the upper 10% of all national areas assessed by AreaSearch, highlighting local land as an exceptionally prized commodity.
The suburb of Potts Point outpaced the broader state (7.3%) and Greater Sydney with its 8.8% expansion since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional pace-setter. Inbound international migration served as the dominant catalyst for these population additions across recent periods. Projections for each SA2 district applied by AreaSearch originate from ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point. Where areas lack coverage under that dataset, AreaSearch incorporates NSW State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2022 from a 2021 base year. Projected age-cohort growth percentages derived from these sources are extended across all locations for 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2 projections, the suburb of Potts Point is slated to rank in the highest quartile nationwide for future growth, expanding by 2,448 persons to 2041, which translates to a total cumulative increase of 31.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
94 new dwellings have been approved in Potts Point over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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
Statistical building approvals data from the ABS examined by AreaSearch shows that the local market has generated roughly 18 residential approvals per year, accumulating an estimated 94 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 19 approvals have been logged. In the context of recent population contraction, this influx of supply has likely kept pace with buyer requirements, while the average expected construction cost of $1,678,000 indicates building activity is heavily skewed toward high-end luxury stock. Additionally, commercial development approvals totaling $5.3 million were registered during the current financial year, reinforcing the predominantly residential footprint of the precinct.
All recent residential construction activity has been dedicated to attached housing formats. This emphasis on compact density creates accessible entry points while drawing downsizers, entry-level buyers, and investors. A high ratio of approximately 602 people per dwelling approval demonstrates that the precinct represents a firmly established, mature urban setting. Forecasts indicate that local population numbers will expand by 2,443 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Given current building velocity, future residential additions could fall short of demand, potentially intensifying market competition and providing upward momentum for local real estate valuations.

5,564 residents of Potts Point are employed, from a labour force of 5,820. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 76.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,882, about 114% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 local resident workforce exhibits high educational credentials and notable concentration within the technology industry, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 4.4% and an estimated twelve-month jobs growth rate of 1.4%, according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 5,564 residents are employed, the local jobless rate sits 0.3% above the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, and the labor force participation rate reaches an elevated 76.3% versus 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census findings recorded 59.2% of working locals operating remotely from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.
Local workers are predominantly engaged across professional & technical, finance & insurance, and public administration & safety sectors. Representation in professional & technical fields is especially pronounced, running at 1.9 times the broader metropolitan level. In contrast, the construction sector accounts for only 3.4% of resident employment, compared to the regional benchmark of 8.6%. With 1.0 jobs available locally per resident worker at the Census, the precinct acts as a major commercial center that generates net inward commuting. An examination of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicates that over the twelve months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 1.4% while the labor pool grew by 0.9%, driving down the local unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment grew by 1.9% and the labor force by 1.9%, alongside a slight decline in unemployment. Looking forward, national industry forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide an indicator of structural employment demand. Nationally, jobs are projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Weighting these projections against the local industry baseline suggests local employment could increase by 7.4% over five years and 14.6% over ten years, representing a simple illustrative weighting model that excludes localized demographic projections.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Potts Point is $2,054 a week (about $107,000 a year), with median personal income at $1,534 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $74,025 a year against an average of $137,247. The average runs 85% above the median, a wider spread than most areas and a sign of a concentrated group of high earners. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
ATO taxation data compiled by AreaSearch for financial year 2023 ranks local individual income in the highest percentile across the country, showing a median of $74,025 and a mean of $137,247, well above Greater Sydney's corresponding median of $60,817 and average of $83,003. Applying cumulative Wage Price Index growth of 10.32% since financial year 2023 lifts estimated values to roughly $81,664 (median) and $151,411 (average) as of March 2026. The 2021 Census placed individual weekly earnings at the 97th percentile nationwide ($1,534 weekly), whereas household earnings aligned with the 69th percentile.
The primary income bracket encompasses earnings between $1,500 - 2,999, capturing 32.8% of the local population (2,562 people) and mirroring the wider metropolitan proportion of 30.9%. Furthermore, 31.9% of households receive weekly incomes above $3,000, underpinning strong consumer capacity.

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,183 at the 2021 Census → 7,813 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 Aug 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 (SAL13268). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
