Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Richmond (NSW) has an estimated resident count of around 6,129, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations. This marks an expansion of 711 people (13.1%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 5,418 people. These figures stem from an estimated resident population base of 6,116 calculated from the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 18 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. Consequently, the suburb of Richmond (NSW) exhibits a population density of 228 persons per square kilometer, preserving ample physical room and capacity for ongoing urban additions.
With its 13.1% expansion outperforming both the wider SA3 area (5.1%) and the overarching SA4 region, the suburb of Richmond (NSW) stands out as a leading growth node. Net interstate arrivals served as the primary growth engine, generating approximately 69.0% of total demographic additions in recent times, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also provided positive contributions. Demographic modeling for the suburb of Richmond (NSW) relies on ABS/Geoscience Australia 2024 releases using 2022 as their starting baseline, with missing areas supplemented by NSW State Government 2022 projections pegged to a 2021 baseline. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these datasets are projected forward across the 2032 to 2041 horizon. Based on these aggregated SA2-level figures, the suburb of Richmond (NSW) is slated to achieve above-median expansion across Australian statistical territories, adding 1,304 persons by 2041 to register an overall 16-year increase of 21.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
203 new dwellings have been approved in Richmond (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 40 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 80% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 48, broadly in line with 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
Statistical area records processed by AreaSearch indicate an annual approval rate of roughly 40 residential builds across Richmond, yielding an estimated 203 approved dwellings throughout the preceding 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 48 residential permits have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 2.8 people arrived annually for each new residence completed over the 5 financial years, highlighting solid underlying demand that underpins local property values, with newly permitted dwellings carrying an average construction cost of $553,000. In addition, commercial planning approvals have reached $10.3 million during the current financial year, demonstrating consistent non-residential investment.
Per capita residential building approvals in Richmond exceed Greater Sydney by 111.0%, affording prospective purchasers a wide selection of stock despite a recent moderation in construction volume. The development pipeline is composed of 80.0% detached dwellings and 20.0% attached dwellings, reinforcing the traditional low-density urban landscape and catering to purchasers prioritizing spacious family living. This current construction mix leans more heavily into standalone housing than the existing built fabric (55.0% at Census), underscoring enduring demand for traditional family residences amid broader medium-density trends. With roughly 153 people per approval, Richmond continues its steady urban expansion. Projections indicate that Richmond will add 1,291 residents out to 2041 compared to current AreaSearch quarterly figures. Although supply pipelines are expanding at a rate commensurate with anticipated demographic gains, incoming residents may encounter tighter market conditions as the population base grows.

3,067 residents of Richmond (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 3,188. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 59.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 6,782, about 111% 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
Workforce data synthesized by AreaSearch demonstrates that Richmond possesses a capable labor pool with notable representation in essential public and community services, alongside a modest unemployment rate of 3.8%. Total employment stood at 3,067 residents as of March 2026, with local unemployment tracking 0.3% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, even as labor force participation remained subdued at 59.7% against 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records showed that 26.3% of workers operated from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. Public administration & safety, retail trade, as well as health care & social assistance represent the primary sectors employing local residents.
Public administration & safety shows particular concentration, capturing an employment share 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.7% of the resident workforce, trailing the Greater Sydney level of 11.5%. A Census ratio of 0.7 workers for every resident demonstrates an above-average volume of local employment opportunities relative to the resident base. Synthesized ABS and SALM statistical data shows that in the twelve months to March 2026, Richmond experienced equal 3.1% reductions in both its overall labor force and aggregate employment, leaving the local unemployment rate essentially unchanged. This diverged from Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% gain in employment, a 1.9% rise in its labor pool, and a minor dip in unemployment. Future labor demand can also be gauged via Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts published in Mar-26. Mapping these national benchmarks against Richmond's industry distribution suggests local jobs could grow by 6.2% over five years and 13.2% across ten years, compared to broader national industry projections of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (noting this illustrative weighting excludes 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 — 18 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,418 at the 2021 Census → 6,129 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.
