Frequently Asked Questions - Population
703 new dwellings have been approved in Rosebery (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 140 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 56 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 7% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 171, 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, Rosebery has averaged approximately 140 dwellings receiving development approval annually, totaling an estimated 703 homes over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26157 approvals have been logged. With an average of 2.4 new residents per year for each dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating strong demand that supports property values, new homes are being constructed at an average cost of $1,008,000, showing that developers are focusing on the premium market segment with high-end properties.
There have also been $3.9 million in commercial approvals this financial year, suggesting the area's residential character. New construction consists of 7.0% detached houses and 93.0% medium and high-density housing. This movement toward denser building styles offers reachable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the area's existing housing (currently 23.0% houses), indicating a shrinking pool of developable land and reflecting evolving lifestyles alongside the demand for more varied, affordable housing options. With approximately 1156 people per approval, Rosebery displays the characteristics of a mature, established area. Looking ahead, Rosebery is projected to add 2,408 residents through to 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on current development trends, new housing supply is expected to comfortably meet demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.

9,232 residents of Rosebery (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 9,459. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 69.6%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 13,986, about 92% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Rosebery boasts a highly educated workforce, with the technology sector being exceptionally well-represented, an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, and 1.7% in estimated employment growth over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 9,232 residents are employed while the unemployment rate is 1.7% lower than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation aligns closely with Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Based on Census responses, a high 51.9% of residents worked from home, though COVID-19 lockdown impacts should be taken into account. The principal industries of employment for residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance.
The area shows a particularly strong concentration in professional & technical services, with employment levels at 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, health care & social assistance has lower representation at 10.8% compared to the regional average of 14.1%. Although local jobs exist in the area, it appears a large portion of residents travel elsewhere for work, based on the ratio of Census working population to local population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 1.7% while the labour force expanded by 1.3%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.4 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9%, labour force growth of 1.9%, with unemployment dropping slightly. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can provide additional perspective on potential future demand in Rosebery. These projections, spanning five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly across industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Rosebery's employment mix suggests local employment should rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population projections).

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 — 227 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,533 at the 2021 Census → 15,238 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13419). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
