Sales Detail
Sans Souci has an estimated 10,940 residents, up from 10,864 at the 2021 Census. That puts 3,564 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 newly verified addresses tracked by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Sans Souci is projected to be approximately 10,940 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 76 people (0.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 10,864 residents. The shift is calculated from a resident base of 10,909, determined by AreaSearch after examining the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and adding 71 validated new addresses registered since the Census.
This population level corresponds to a density of 3,563 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of domestic areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Growth within the locality was largely fueled by offshore migration, which accounted for approximately 76.0% of the overall population rise over recent periods. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 territory, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are implemented. Age cohort expansion rates from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, growth in the lower quartile of statistical locations evaluated by AreaSearch is anticipated, with the suburb of Sans Souci projected to add 296 residents by 2041 under consolidated SA2-level figures, indicating an overall expansion of 2.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
178 new dwellings have been approved in Sans Souci over the past five years, an average of 35 a year. That is 3.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 46% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building consent statistics distributed from broader data indicate that the suburb of Sans Souci averages approximately 35 residential approvals annually, amounting to an estimated 178 properties over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 27 approvals have been logged. Because the suburb has experienced population decline, incoming stock has likely matched local demand, providing buyers with suitable options, while new builds average a development value of $739,000, indicating that builders are focusing on upmarket, premium properties. Furthermore, $25.1 million in commercial building approvals have been registered during this financial year, showing a moderate level of business development.
Compared to Greater Sydney, the suburb of Sans Souci generates roughly 59% of the per capita building activity, ranking in the 29th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which translates to fewer options for purchasers and sustains demand for pre-existing properties. This volume sits below the national benchmark, pointing to the mature nature of the locality and implying potential zoning constraints. Incoming residential projects consist of 46.0% detached dwellings and 54.0% attached dwellings. This skew toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points and attracts investors, downsizers, and first-time buyers. With approximately 605 people per building consent, the suburb of Sans Souci displays the characteristics of a mature, settled community. Moving forward, the suburb of Sans Souci is projected to expand by 265 residents through to 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Based on prevailing construction trends, incoming housing options should easily satisfy local demand, yielding favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially supporting population growth above current forecasts.

6,277 residents of Sans Souci are employed, from a labour force of 6,457. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 70.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,470, about 77% 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 suburb of Sans Souci features a highly educated labor force with a strong concentration of professional service workers, an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.8% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of regional statistical data. In March 2026, 6,277 local citizens were employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.3% below the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%, while workforce participation closely matched the metropolitan benchmark of 69.1%. Census responses indicate that a substantial 40.4% of residents worked from home, though this may reflect the influence of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and professional & technical services. The area exhibits a notable concentration in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for just 10.0% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. The highly residential character of the area appears to limit local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of Census working residents against the overall resident population. Based on AreaSearch processing of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the 12-month window experienced a job expansion of 2.8% alongside a labor force increase of 3.2%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a minor decrease in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand in the suburb of Sans Souci. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local occupation distribution to estimate expansion trends. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local occupation profile suggests employment in the suburb of Sans Souci should rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, keeping in mind this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 71 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,864 at the 2021 Census → 10,940 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 (SAL13504). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
