This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

St Andrews (NSW) has an estimated 5,529 residents, down from 5,785 at the 2021 Census — a change of 256 people, or 4.4%. The population has thinned by an average 1.8% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 2,658 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident population of the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) is estimated to be approximately 5,529 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 256 people (4.4%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 5,785 residents. The change is calculated from a resident base of 5,488 estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, combined with an additional 7 verified new addresses post-Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 2,658 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of national areas monitored by AreaSearch.
In recent times, overseas migration was the primary driver of growth, accounting for approximately 66.0% of all population gains. AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 district, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this data, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are substituted. Projected growth rates by age group from these sources are extended to all regions for the period from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections indicate that the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) will experience population growth slightly below the national median for statistical areas. Based on combined SA2-level data, the population is projected to expand by 441 persons by 2041, representing a total growth of 7.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from statistical district data, the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) averages approximately 2 residential approvals annually. An estimated 13 dwellings were approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with no new approvals recorded in FY-26. Because the population contracted during the preceding period, this new supply has likely matched local demand, providing options for purchasers. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $1.2 million were registered during the current financial year, representing a low level of commercial development. In comparison to Greater Sydney, the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) exhibits extremely low building volumes, registering 93.0% below the regional per capita average.
This limited volume of new construction typically supports demand and valuations for existing properties, even though building activity has risen in recent times. The level also falls below the national average, reflecting the established state of the local market and pointing to possible planning constraints. Of the new projects, 50.0% are standalone houses, while 50.0% comprise townhouses or apartments. This trend toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. This is a clear departure from the historical housing stock, which currently stands at 95.0% standalone houses, signaling a lack of vacant land alongside shifting lifestyle preferences and a demand for more diverse, affordable housing. With approximately 1231 people per approved dwelling, the local market is highly established. Demographic projections indicate that the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) is set to add 400 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If construction volumes do not rise above current rates, housing supply could fall behind demographic growth, which is likely to increase buyer competition and support property price growth.

2,997 residents of St Andrews (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 3,133. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 70.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,308, 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 suburb of St Andrews (NSW) has a skilled labour force with a high proportion of workers in industrial and manufacturing fields, an unemployment rate of 4.3%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.6% over the preceding year based on AreaSearch aggregate data. As of March 2026, there are 2,997 employed residents. The local unemployment rate sits 0.2 percentage points above the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is very close to the metropolitan rate of 69.1%. Census records show that a high proportion of residents, 29.3%, worked from home, although this figure was likely influenced by pandemic lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The suburb of St Andrews (NSW) shows a strong concentration of jobs in transport, postal & warehousing, which is 1.8 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, making up only 4.6% of the workforce compared to the metropolitan average of 11.5%. The suburb is mostly residential and provides few local jobs, as indicated by the comparison between the Census working population and resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regions, employment grew by 5.6% and the labour force expanded by 6.0% during the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This differs from Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% increase in the labour force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. Long-term employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional guidance on future demand in the suburb of St Andrews (NSW). These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth varies by sector. Projecting these industry rates onto the local job profile suggests employment in the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) will rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not adjust for local 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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,785 at the 2021 Census → 5,529 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.
