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.

Detail
Drawing upon ABS population updates alongside addresses verified by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Randwick is evaluated to house approximately 30,599 people as of Aug 2026. This represents a rise of 1,656 residents (5.7%) from the 28,943 individuals counted during the 2021 Census. AreaSearch arrived at this figure through examination of the recent ABS ERP release (June 2025), which estimated 30,350 residents, combined with 328 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 5,762 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% nationwide and highlighting significant local land demand.
The suburb's 5.7% expansion rate sits within 1.6 percentage points of the New South Wales figure (7.3%), underscoring solid demographic expansion. Inbound international migration served as the foremost growth driver, generating approximately 86.0% of recent population additions in the suburb of Randwick. Projections for each SA2 location rely on figures released in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 as their starting point, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government projections (with a 2021 base year) where necessary. For the 2032 to 2041 period, age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are integrated across all territories. Based on anticipated demographic developments, the suburb of Randwick is expected to register population gains above median relative to other statistical areas, adding an estimated 3,643 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 boundaries to register an overall 16-year increase of 11.1%.
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 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 91 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 4% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 205, 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
According to AreaSearch's review of ABS residential approvals mapped from local statistical boundaries, approximately 56 residential dwellings receive approval annually, delivering roughly 283 dwellings across the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 so far, 205 residential approvals have been logged. In the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, new resident inflow stood at an average of 0.1 persons per newly created residence, indicating that home building has met or exceeded population demands to provide varied buying opportunities while accommodating future growth. Approved residences show an expected average construction cost of $1,251,000, pointing toward higher-end developments.
In parallel, $439.8 million worth of non-residential commercial approvals have been registered during this financial year, underscoring substantial commercial property development activity. Per-capita building rates mirror those across Greater Sydney, sustaining steady urban development conditions consistent with the broader metropolis. When viewed against national figures, activity remains comparatively subdued, reflecting established urban surroundings and potential development constraints. Recent residential additions consist of 4.0% detached homes alongside 96.0% multi-unit and attached dwellings. This high proportion of higher-density living formats delivers relatively accessible price points for incoming buyers, downsizers, and property investors. With roughly 277 residents per residential building approval, construction relative to total headcount indicates a low density market. Based on recent quarterly estimates by AreaSearch, forecasts suggest an addition of 3,394 new inhabitants by 2041. If building volume remains at existing levels, residential additions may trail local population growth, potentially heightening competition for properties and supporting upward price pressures.

19,921 residents of Randwick are employed, from a labour force of 20,464. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 77.8%. 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
Supported by a highly credentialed local workforce and strong presence across the technology industry, local unemployment stands at 2.7% with estimated annual employment growth at 2.4%, according to aggregated statistical figures by AreaSearch. By March 2026, working residents totaled 19,921, keeping the unemployment rate 1.5% beneath the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Workforce participation reached 77.8%, outpacing Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records indicate that 56.0% of local workers operated from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions should be noted. The leading employment sectors for local residents comprise professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
Local concentration is particularly pronounced in professional & technical services, where representation is 1.4 times greater than the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing claims an under-represented 2.2% share of local workers, compared with 5.7% across Greater Sydney. A local jobs-to-resident ratio of 0.6 at Census time points to above-average nearby employment options. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM statistical data shows that across the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 2.4% while the available labour pool expanded by 1.9%, reducing local unemployment by 0.5 percentage points. By contrast, Greater Sydney experienced 1.9% employment growth and a 1.9% workforce increase alongside a minor reduction in unemployment. Looking ahead, national forecasts issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context for local employment demand across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. When local industry distributions are weighted against these figures, local employment is modeled to expand by 7.6% over five years and 15.1% over ten years, representing a simple structural extrapolation without factoring in local demographic shifts.

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 — 328 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (28,943 at the 2021 Census → 30,599 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.
