Sales Detail
Russell Lea has an estimated 5,013 residents, up from 4,920 at the 2021 Census — a change of 93 people, or 1.9%. That puts 5,013 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 demographic releases for the wider region, alongside recent home addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Russell Lea has an estimated residency of approximately 5,013 individuals as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 93 people (1.9%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 4,920 residents. The variation is calculated from a resident base of 5,008, projected by AreaSearch after examining the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, plus an extra 6 verified new addresses added since the Census. Such a population count translates to a density of 5,013 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of countrywide territories evaluated by AreaSearch, indicating that land here is highly prized.
Population expansion in the suburb of Russell Lea was mostly pushed by international arrivals, who accounted for roughly 77.0% of the overall demographic gains in the recent timeframe. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 zone, published in 2024 using 2022 as the anchor year. In cases where SA2 zones lack this coverage, AreaSearch employs SA2 forecasts from the NSW State Government, issued in 2022 using 2021 as the anchor year. Projected growth figures across age brackets from these data sources are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, projections suggest a downward trend in total numbers, with the suburb of Russell Lea expected to shrink by 6 persons by 2041 using this approach. Nevertheless, certain age bands are set to grow, particularly those aged 85 and over, which is projected to expand by 177 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
49 new dwellings have been approved in Russell Lea over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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 allocated from regional data shows that Russell Lea registers approximately 9 new residential approvals each year, summing to an estimated 49 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 4 approvals have been logged. With the local population decreasing, this pace of construction has likely matched incoming demand, providing options for buyers. The average estimated build cost stands at $720,000, which suggests that builders are focusing on the upscale tier of the market with high-end residential options. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $2.6 million have been registered during this financial year, showing a quiet period for business-oriented construction.
When compared to Greater Sydney, building activity in Russell Lea is very quiet, sitting at 69.0% below the regional per capita norm. This constrained addition of new homes typically helps maintain demand and supports pricing for existing properties, although building paces have quickened recently. Construction volume is also lower than the national benchmark, pointing to the suburb's established status and potential zoning constraints. Modern additions are composed of 43.0% detached houses and 57.0% apartments or townhouses. This emphasis on denser options provides more accessible price points and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a clear departure from the current housing split of 68.0% houses, showing a dwindling supply of vacant parcels alongside evolving lifestyle preferences and the demand for varied, affordable housing. The community records about 244 people for every new dwelling approval, demonstrating a low-density property market. As the population is projected to remain level or decline, Russell Lea is likely to face less strain on its housing supply, which could present favorable options for home buyers.

2,795 residents of Russell Lea are employed, from a labour force of 2,853. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 68.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,926, about 78% 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
The local workforce in Russell Lea is characterized by high levels of education, with particularly strong representation in the technology industry, and a low unemployment rate of only 2.1% according to aggregated regional statistics. In March 2026, there were 2,795 employed locals, while the jobless rate was 2.1% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Participation in the labor force aligns closely with the Greater Sydney rate of 69.1%. Census records show that a substantial 54.8% of employed residents worked from their homes, though this reflects the impact of pandemic lockdowns.
The leading career fields for residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The suburb exhibits a clear specialization in finance & insurance, where its share of employment is 1.4 times the metropolitan average. On the other hand, retail trade is underrepresented at 7.0% compared to the regional figure of 9.3%. This mostly residential community seems to present few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of working residents to those who work locally. Based on SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader local areas, the latest 12-month window experienced a 2.1% reduction in the workforce alongside a 2.1% drop in the number of employed people, which kept the overall unemployment rate steady. Conversely, Greater Sydney experienced employment expansion of 1.9% and a labor force increase of 1.9%, alongside a minor decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national forecasts from May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future hiring trends within Russell Lea. These five and ten-year predictions have been compared with local labor profiles to project future growth. While countrywide employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across sectors. Applying these industry forecasts to the local occupational mix suggests employment for residents should rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.3% over ten years.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,920 at the 2021 Census → 5,013 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 (SAL13462). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
