Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population releases alongside validated new addresses logged since the Census, the suburb of South Coogee records an estimated population of approximately 5,746 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 135 people (2.4%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 5,611 people. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population figure of 5,741 identified in the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 2 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. With a density of 5,085 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of South Coogee ranks within the top 10% of locations across Australia assessed by AreaSearch, highlighting local land as an exceptionally coveted commodity.
Overseas migration served as the core driver of recent population gains, accounting for roughly 92.0% of total inbound growth. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as a base year are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 regions, while missing areas use 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts based on 2021. Age-specific growth rates drawn from these datasets are projected forward across all localities for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, the suburb of South Coogee is anticipated to record population expansion slightly under the national statistical median, gaining 446 persons by 2041 under SA2 aggregations, which constitutes an overall rise of 7.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
64 new dwellings have been approved in South Coogee over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 11, 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 building approval statistics compiled by AreaSearch indicate that South Coogee averages approximately 12 residential building approvals annually, totalling 64 approved dwellings across the 5 financial years from FY-21 through FY-25, alongside 11 approvals recorded to date in FY-25. Amid recent demographic contractions, residential construction volumes have maintained equilibrium with demand, fostering a balanced marketplace offering ample options for buyers. Meanwhile, newly approved residential developments reflect an average expected construction cost of $920,000, underscoring strong builder focus on high-end, premium housing products. Per capita building approvals in South Coogee track at roughly 75% of the wider Greater Sydney level, placing the locality in the 36th percentile among nationally monitored areas.
This lower volume constrains new supply, reinforcing buyer interest in established properties. This below-average national standing also mirrors the established nature of the suburb alongside potential planning boundaries. High-density and attached housing accounts for 58.0% of approvals (comprising apartments and townhouses), while standalone houses represent 42.0%. This emphasis on medium and higher density dwellings provides accessible entry price points for downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. An approval ratio of roughly 410 people per approval further reinforces the established nature of the area. Demographic projections derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update anticipate that South Coogee will add 441 residents up to 2041. While ongoing residential development continues at a sustainable rate alongside forecasted expansion, prospective buyers could experience intensifying competition as the local population base broadens.

2,685 residents of South Coogee are employed, from a labour force of 3,022. Unemployment sits at 11.2%, with participation at 63.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,563, about 79% 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
South Coogee possesses a highly educated labor pool, distinguished especially by strong representation within the technology industry, alongside an unemployment rate of 11.2% and a 1.3% annual expansion in employment based on statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,685 individuals, while the local unemployment rate sits 7.0% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, pointing to available labor capacity. Furthermore, workforce participation reaches 63.3%, trailing behind Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records reveal that 54.8% of employed locals worked remotely, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
Leading industries of employment across the local workforce comprise professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The community demonstrates notable workforce concentration in public administration & safety, where local participation reaches 1.4 times the regional proportion. In contrast, manufacturing remains substantially underrepresented, engaging only 2.7% of local workers compared to 5.7% throughout Greater Sydney. Comparing Census counts of local workers against resident workers suggests that this primarily residential enclave offers relatively few internal employment hubs. Data from the ABS and SALM aggregated across broader statistical geographies by AreaSearch shows that in the twelve months to March 2026, local employment grew by 1.3% while the labor pool grew by 1.9%, producing a 0.6 percentage point rise in unemployment. Across Greater Sydney over the identical timeframe, employment expanded by 1.9%, the labor force increased by 1.9%, and unemployment saw a minor reduction. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on prospective employment shifts for South Coogee. By applying these national sector projections across the local workforce profile over five- and ten-year intervals, anticipated demand patterns can be modeled. Across the nation, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Weighting these sectoral projections against South Coogee's existing employment distribution indicates prospective local employment expansion of 7.3% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (noting this illustrative weighting calculation does not factor in localized population adjustments).

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 (5,611 at the 2021 Census → 5,746 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.
