Rhodes has an estimated 13,128 residents, up from 11,453 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,675 people, or 14.6%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years, faster than 83% of areas nationally. 665 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 79.0% of that increase. That puts 12,998 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 population revisions alongside new addresses validated following the Census, the suburb of Rhodes reaches an estimated 13,128 residents as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 1,675 people (14.6%) compared to the 11,453 people counted during the 2021 Census. Such gains stem from an estimated resident count of 13,094 calculated after reviewing the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), coupled with 665 validated new addresses established post-Census. With 12,998 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Rhodes features a density ratio placing it within the top 10% of areas assessed nationwide by AreaSearch, underscoring intense local land demand.
Outpacing both its broader SA4 region and the 5.6% recorded across the SA3 area, the suburb of Rhodes's 14.6% expansion since the 2021 census confirms its position as a regional growth frontrunner. This demographic upward shift was largely powered by overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 79.0% of recent population additions. SA2 demographic projections sourced from ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline) are applied by AreaSearch, with NSW State Government SA2 figures (released in 2022 using 2021 as a baseline) utilized for any remaining uncovered sectors. Age-specific expansion rates derived from these datasets are further projected across all localities from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections place the suburb of Rhodes in the nation's top quartile for population expansion, with aggregated SA2 models forecasting an influx of 3,209 persons by 2041, representing an overall 24.2% rise over 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 86th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 226 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 1% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 93, 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 shows that Rhodes averages approximately 214 residential dwelling consents annually, totaling an estimated 1,071 approved homes across the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 93 logged to date in FY-25. Accompanied by an average annual intake of only 0.9 new residents per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential construction is keeping pace with or outstripping local demand, broadening prospective purchaser options and facilitating demographic expansion beyond current forecasts. New residences average $613,000 in construction value, moderately exceeding broader regional averages and reflecting a focus on premium builds.
Local commercial development also remains vibrant, with $28.8 million in non-residential approvals granted during the current financial year. Per capita residential building approvals in Rhodes surpass Greater Sydney by 101.0%, offering substantial variety for prospective purchasers. This elevated building rate significantly exceeds national benchmarks, highlighting strong developer appetite. Recent residential building activity is heavily skewed toward higher-density formats, comprising 99.0% attached dwellings and 1.0% detached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density housing facilitates accessible price points, catering effectively to first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. With around 30 people per dwelling approval, the local residential sector reflects a growing market profile. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, demographic modeling projects Rhodes to add 3,175 residents through to 2041. If prevailing construction momentum persists, upcoming residential completions appear well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current population forecasts.

8,375 residents of Rhodes are employed, from a labour force of 8,552. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 72.8%. 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 14,196, 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 is characterized by a well-educated labor pool, standout representation across technology fields, and a low unemployment rate of 2.1%, according to AreaSearch's statistical area figures. As of March 2026, 8,375 local residents participate in employment, with the jobless rate tracking 2.1% lower than Greater Sydney's 4.1% and workforce participation standing at a typical 72.8% (compared to 68.9% for Greater Sydney). Census metrics showed 57.8% of local workers operating from home, an outcome potentially shaped by Covid-19 lockdown mandates. The resident workforce is predominantly employed across professional & technical, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance disciplines.
Professional & technical representation is exceptionally prominent, recording employment levels 1.6 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, education & training accounts for an under-indexed share of the local talent pool, employing 5.9% of Rhodes's workers compared to 8.9% across Greater Sydney. A Census ratio of 0.8 workers for each resident demonstrates an ample supply of local employment. Based on AreaSearch synthesis of ABS and SALM metrics across broader districts, the year to March 2026 saw Rhodes's labor force contract by 1.9% alongside a 1.8% drop in total employed persons, which resulted in a 0.2 percentage points decrease in the local jobless rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment and a 1.9% expansion in its labor force, accompanied by a slight decrease. National industry projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding prospective workplace requirements in Rhodes. When mapped against the local industry baseline, these five and ten-year national estimates (which project country-wide growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years) indicate local employment expansions of 7.4% over five years and 14.7% over ten years via simple weighted extrapolation, noting this illustrative baseline does not incorporate localized demographic 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 — 665 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,453 at the 2021 Census → 13,128 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.
