Redhead has an estimated 3,947 residents, up from 3,785 at the 2021 Census — a change of 162 people, or 4.3%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. 290 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,073 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
In accordance with population updates from the ABS for the wider region and address verifications conducted by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Redhead has a projected population of approximately 3,947 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 162 individuals (4.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 3,785 residents. This demographic change is calculated from a resident count of 3,947, which AreaSearch determined by analyzing the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an additional 290 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population count translates to a density of 1,072 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with standard averages across areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 4.3% expansion recorded in the suburb of Redhead since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (3.2%), positioning it as a primary driver of growth locally. This population rise was largely fueled by moves from other states, which accounted for roughly 52.0% of the overall gains in recent times. For SA2 divisions, AreaSearch employs projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the base reference. Wherever such statistics are unavailable, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Age-specific growth dynamics derived from these datasets are projected forward for all districts from 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic transitions, regional areas are set to experience population increases exceeding the national median, with this specific location expected to expand by 582 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 14.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
101 new dwellings have been approved in Redhead over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 5.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch, distributed from statistical boundaries, shows that the suburb of Redhead averages approximately 20 residential building approvals per year, summing to an estimated 101 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 8 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.9 individuals relocating to the district annually for every finished dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, supply and demand metrics seem balanced, supporting stable conditions in the market. However, this has risen to 6.3 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, indicating intensifying demand and declining availability.
Newly constructed residences carry an average building cost of $734,000, illustrating a developer focus on high-end, premium properties. Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $1.9 million during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the neighborhood. Compared to the Rest of NSW, the suburb of Redhead exhibits a higher rate of construction activity (29.0% above the regional per-capita average over the 5 year period), which offers buyers reasonable choices while supporting demand for existing homes, even though building rates have slowed recently. Recent residential additions consist of 95.0% separate houses and 5.0% semi-detached properties or units, preserving the established low-density feel of the neighborhood with family-oriented spaces. There are roughly 275 residents for every new dwelling approval, indicating a low-density environment. Demographic projections indicate that the suburb of Redhead will add 582 citizens by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Current home construction is keeping pace with this projected population increase, though purchasers may face heightened competition as the resident count grows.

1,896 residents of Redhead are employed, from a labour force of 1,933. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 58.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% 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
The suburb of Redhead possesses a highly educated workforce with strong representation in critical service fields, alongside an unemployment rate of only 1.9%, according to statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 1,896 employed locals, with the unemployment rate sitting 2.2% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation was slightly soft at 58.6% compared to the regional average of 60.6%. Census figures show that a substantial 29.0% of the working population operated from home, though this may reflect pandemic lockdown measures. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents a negligible share of the local economy, accounting for no workers in the suburb of Redhead compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. This mostly residential locality provides few local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the Census working population against the resident count. Based on SALM and ABS statistics compiled by AreaSearch for broader statistical zones, the labor force shrank by 0.4% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, while total employment fell by 1.1%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.7 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labor force shrink by 0.4%, with unemployment rising by 0.5 percentage points. Future labor requirements in the suburb of Redhead can be analyzed through national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local industry profiles to project hiring trends. Although nationwide employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry forecasts to the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents should rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection 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 — 290 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,785 at the 2021 Census → 3,947 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.
