Randwick has an estimated 30,388 residents, up from 28,943 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,445 people, or 5.0%. 233 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 86.0% of that increase. That puts 5,723 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
Evaluating demographics from ABS updates covering the broader region alongside address validations from AreaSearch after the Census, Randwick has an estimated population of 30,388 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 1,445 people (5.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the count was 28,943 people. The figures are derived from the 30,350 residents estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 233 validated new addresses registered since the Census. This population size results in a density of 5,722 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top 10% of areas assessed nationwide by AreaSearch, highlighting the high demand for local land.
The post-census growth rate of 5.0% trails the state benchmark (7.1%) by 2.1 percentage points, showing competitive local dynamics. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for approximately 86.0% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year are applied to each SA2. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are substituted. Age bracket growth trends from these datasets are projected forward from 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated shifts, population growth is expected to exceed the national median, with the locality projected to add 3,769 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 12.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
283 new dwellings have been approved in Randwick over the past five years, an average of 56 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 63 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 6% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 221, 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals mapped from statistical divisions, Randwick averages approximately 56 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 283 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 203 approvals have been registered to date. Given that new residents per completed dwelling averaged only 0.1 annually over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, new supply is matching or exceeding demand, offering buyers expanded options and supporting population growth potentially ahead of current projections, while new builds average $857,000 in value, indicating developer focus on the premium segment.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $439.8 million have been registered this financial year, showing strong commercial momentum. Randwick exhibits about 75% of the per capita construction activity of Greater Sydney, ranking in the 11th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which limits choice for buyers and supports demand for established properties. This rate also sits below the national average, reflecting the established status of the locality and pointing to potential planning constraints. Recent additions consist of 6.0% detached houses and 94.0% multi-unit dwellings or townhouses. This high-density focus provides lower-cost entry points suitable for downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. The area has approximately 1409 people per dwelling approval, showing a mature property market. Looking forward, the population of Randwick is projected to expand by 3,731 residents by 2041 from the latest quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. With current building rates, supply may struggle to keep pace with demand, potentially intensifying buyer competition and upward pressure on prices.

19,921 residents of Randwick are employed, from a labour force of 20,464. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 77.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Randwick features a highly educated workforce with strong representation in the technology sector, an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, and an estimated employment expansion of 2.4% over the past year, according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 19,921 employed residents, while the unemployment rate is 1.5% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and the participation rate is exceptionally high at 77.5% compared to 69.1% for Greater Sydney. Census responses indicated that 56.0% of working residents worked from home, though this may reflect pandemic lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The locality exhibits a strong specialization in professional & technical services, with employment shares 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing is minor, accounting for 2.2% of employment compared to 5.7% regionally. The presence of 0.6 workers per resident at the Census indicates a level of local job availability that is above average. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from broader statistical zones, the 12-month period recorded a 2.4% rise in employment alongside a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment grow by 1.9%, labor force expand by 1.9%, and unemployment decrease marginally. Employment forecasts for May-25 from Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future demand in Randwick. These five and ten-year projections are mapped against local industry profiles to model growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific rates onto the local workforce structure indicates local employment growth of 7.6% over five years and 15.1% over ten years, using a weighted extrapolation for illustration 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 — 233 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (28,943 at the 2021 Census → 30,388 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.
