Sales Detail
Rhodes has an estimated 13,121 residents, up from 11,453 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,668 people, or 14.6%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years, faster than 84% of areas nationally. 662 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 79.0% of that increase. That puts 12,991 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 investigations of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region, combined with fresh locations confirmed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Rhodes has a projected occupancy of approximately 13,121 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 1,668 individuals (14.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a headcount of 11,453 citizens. The adjustment is calculated from a local population of 13,094, calculated by AreaSearch through analyzing the most recent ERP statistics published by the ABS (June 2025) along with an extra 662 validated new addresses following the Census date.
This volume of residency translates to a density ratio of 12,991 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the highest 10% of countrywide territories evaluated by AreaSearch, making local land a highly coveted asset. The 14.6% expansion of the suburb of Rhodes since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (5.5%), as well as the SA4 territory, establishing it as a regional growth frontrunner. Population increases for this zone were mostly powered by international arrivals, which accounted for roughly 79.0% of total population additions in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 zone, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline year. For any SA2 zones lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs the NSW State Government's SA2 level forecasts, published in 2022 with 2021 as the baseline year. Growth rates segmented by age bracket from these groupings are additionally applied across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Considering forward-looking population trends, a substantial rise in residency ranking in the top quartile of Australian statistics is anticipated, with the suburb of Rhodes projected to grow by 3,234 persons up to 2041 based on compiled SA2-level forecasts, showing a total climb of 24.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,071 new dwellings have been approved in Rhodes over the past five years, an average of 214 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 259 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 1% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 101, 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 evaluations of ABS building consent statistics distributed from statistical zone records, Rhodes has registered roughly 214 residential property approvals on an annual basis, amounting to an estimated 1,071 homes over the previous 5 financial years. Throughout the current FY-26, 93 consents have been logged. With a mean of only a single person per year relocating to the locality for every home constructed during the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), construction volume is matching or outpacing demand, granting purchasers wider options while supporting potential for growth beyond projections, whereas new structures are built at a mean value of $522,000, showing that developers are targeting the high-end marketplace with premium builds.
Furthermore, $28.8 million in commercial consents have been logged in the current financial year, demonstrating solid commercial construction activity. Compared against Greater Sydney, Rhodes registers 175.0% more new residential approvals (per person), offering buyers a broader selection. This volume is markedly higher than the nationwide standard, highlighting robust developer belief in the area. New construction consists of 1.0% standalone houses and 99.0% townhouses or multi-residential units. This direction toward higher density housing options offers affordable access points and attracts downsizers, property investors, and first-time purchasers. The locality features approximately 34 people per housing approval, signifying a growing marketplace. Long-term forecasts indicate Rhodes will gain 3,207 occupants by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimation). With current construction paces, the flow of new housing options should easily satisfy local demand, yielding favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially underpinning expansion that surpasses modern population forecasts.

8,375 residents of Rhodes are employed, from a labour force of 8,552. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 72.7%. 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 14,186, about 108% 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
Rhodes displays an exceptionally qualified workforce, with the tech sector showing notably high concentration, alongside a jobless rate of only 2.1%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area figures. As of March 2026, 8,375 occupants are employed, whereas the jobless rate is 2.1% lower than the Greater Sydney level of 4.1%, and labor market involvement is relatively standard (72.7% compared with Greater Sydney's 69.1%). Census responses indicate that a high 57.8% of local workers operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind. The primary employment fields for working residents are professional & technical, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance.
The locality displays a specific job concentration in professional & technical fields, with a share that is 1.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, education & training exhibits a minor footprint, accounting for 5.9% of employment versus 8.9% across the wider region. The proportion of 0.8 workers for every occupant, recorded at the Census, points to abundant local job openings. Based on AreaSearch reviews of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader statistical zones, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce diminished by 1.9% alongside a 1.8% drop in employment, which brought the unemployment rate down by 0.2 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded an employment expansion of 1.9% and workforce growth of 1.9%, with a tiny reduction. National job forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 can supply additional context regarding prospective demand in Rhodes. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with local employment profiles to project growth paths. While nationwide employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely between distinct industries. Projecting these industry-specific forecasts onto Rhodes's employment distribution suggests local jobs should expand by 7.4% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 662 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,453 at the 2021 Census → 13,121 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.
