Sales Detail
Rozelle has an estimated 8,877 residents, up from 8,553 at the 2021 Census — a change of 324 people, or 3.8%. That puts 4,851 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch, drawing on ABS regional population figures alongside post-Census validated address counts, place the population of the suburb of Rozelle at approximately 8,877 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 8,553 residents counted during the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 324 people (3.8%). This metric stems from an estimated resident population of 8,874 determined via the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, complemented by 2 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date. Local land remains exceptionally coveted, with a density of 4,850 persons per square kilometer placing the suburb within the upper 10% of areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch.
In addition, the suburb of Rozelle demonstrated solid growth fundamentals by trailing the broader SA3 area (4.1%) by just 0.3 percentage points with its 3.8% post-Census increase. Inflow from overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 66.0% of recent population gains. Projections for the suburb of Rozelle utilise 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data based on 2022 benchmarks across individual SA2 boundaries, supplemented where needed by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling anchored to 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are integrated across all locations. Future outlooks indicate that demographic expansion will exceed the national median across statistical territories. Specifically, aggregated SA2 projections indicate that the suburb of Rozelle will expand by 1,694 persons through to 2041, translating to an overall rise of 19.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
239 new dwellings have been approved in Rozelle over the past five years, an average of 47 a year. That places the area in the 53rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 13% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, 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
Examining ABS residential approvals distributed across local geographies, AreaSearch figures indicate that Rozelle averages roughly 47 dwelling consents annually, accumulating approximately 239 approved homes across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 16 approvals recorded to date in FY-25. While local headcount contracted in recent times, this building volume offers favorable conditions and adequate stock for prospective purchasers. High-end residential construction remains a clear priority for developers, with expected construction costs for new dwellings averaging $894,000. Non-residential building activity also proved robust, highlighted by $30.8 million in commercial approvals secured during this financial year.
Per capita residential construction in Rozelle exceeds Greater Sydney levels by 165.0%, creating a broader selection of properties for buyers. In terms of planning and composition, high- and medium-density dwellings constitute 87.0% of upcoming stock, while standalone detached houses represent 13.0%. This tilt toward denser development creates viable entry points that cater to downsizing owner-occupiers, first-home purchasers, and property investors. Concurrently, a metric of roughly 82 residents per approved dwelling aligns with low density urban characteristics. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Rozelle is projected to add 1,691 residents leading up to 2041. While residential construction currently tracks this anticipated population expansion at a sustainable pace, prospective purchasers might encounter heightened market competition as local numbers grow.

Construction is underway by BESIX Watpac as part of the Blackwattle Bay renewal, uniquely targeting a 50% female workforce participation.
5,510 residents of Rozelle are employed, from a labour force of 5,739. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 75.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,643, about 86% 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
Workforce metrics compiled by AreaSearch show that Rozelle maintains an exceptionally educated labor force with pronounced representation in the technology industry and a modest jobless rate of 4.0%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,510, while the local unemployment rate sits 0.1% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Labor participation is notably elevated at 75.9%, well above the 68.9% recorded across Greater Sydney. Census returns further revealed that 66.8% of local workers performed their duties from home, though this figure was subject to Covid-19 lockdown measures. Key fields of employment among the local labor force comprise professional & technical services, finance & insurance, along with health care & social assistance.
Professional & technical roles display remarkable concentration, with representation reaching 1.8 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 10.8% of local workers, lagging the 14.1% share observed throughout Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census working population against resident worker counts suggests that the largely residential neighborhood offers relatively few employment positions within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM statistics, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw local employment decrease by 0.6% and the labor force contract by 1.3%, bringing a 0.7 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% increase in employment alongside a 1.9% expansion in its labor force, accompanied by a slight softening in unemployment. Future labor demand can be gauged through Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26, which project nationwide employment growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years. Mapping these industry-specific paths against Rozelle's occupational composition suggests local employment could rise by 7.5% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, noting this simple weighting exercise is purely illustrative and excludes localized population modeling.

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,553 at the 2021 Census → 8,877 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.
