Sales Detail
St Helens Park has an estimated 6,595 residents, down from 6,647 at the 2021 Census. The population has thinned by an average 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. That puts 1,278 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 evaluations of ABS regional demographic updates alongside post-Census new address validations by AreaSearch, the suburb of St Helens Park recorded an estimated population of approximately 6,595 as of Aug 2026. This indicates a contraction of 52 people (0.8%) from the 6,647 residents documented in the 2021 Census. The calculation stems from an estimated resident count of 6,564 determined via the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), coupled with 10 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The suburb's density currently reaches 1,278 persons per square kilometer, standing above typical levels seen across nationally evaluated benchmarks by AreaSearch.
In recent periods, natural increase served as the primary growth contributor, accounting for around 59.0% of total demographic additions in the area. Population projections applied by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia 2024 releases using 2022 as their baseline year for SA2 boundaries, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government releases with a 2021 baseline where required. Age cohort growth rates across these models are likewise extended to cover 2032 to 2041. Over the coming years, future population growth for the suburb of St Helens Park is projected to sit in the nation's lower quartile, with combined SA2-level figures projecting a total rise of 294 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 4.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
73 new dwellings have been approved in St Helens Park over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, 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
Across the previous 5 financial years, residential building approvals in St Helens Park averaged roughly 14 homes annually for a total of 73 approvals, based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS figures. Thus far in FY-25, 1 approvals have been documented. Considering recent population contractions, this level of construction has provided sufficient supply for purchasers, while approved residential projects show an average expected construction cost of $315,000, coming in below regional benchmarks to present more affordable options. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $1.1 million during this financial year, reinforcing the location's predominantly residential character.
Per capita building activity in St Helens Park remains heavily constrained, trailing Greater Sydney by 66.0% and sitting beneath national figures, which highlights the established nature of the suburb alongside potential planning restrictions. This limited pipeline often supports prices and buyer interest across existing dwellings. Approvals are composed of 80.0% detached houses and 20.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving a suburban footprint oriented toward family dwellings. Demonstrating a highly developed and mature environment, the suburb records approximately 6576 people per dwelling approval. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate, demographic forecasts indicate that St Helens Park is set to add 263 residents through to 2041. Prevailing building approval rates are well positioned to comfortably satisfy upcoming residential demand, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating expansion above baseline population projections.

Draft plans for the Appin and North Appin precincts underwent public exhibition, supported by a dwelling cap tied to staged wastewater, water, and road infrastructure delivery.
3,437 residents of St Helens Park are employed, from a labour force of 3,721. Unemployment sits at 7.6%, with participation at 73.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,859, about 74% 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 St Helens Park area features a diverse labor pool that includes both white collar and blue collar positions, with strong representation in essential services industries. The local unemployment rate stands at 7.6%, and there has been an estimated employment growth of 5.2% over the past year according to AreaSearch aggregated statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,437 residents are currently employed, while the unemployment rate sits at 3.5% above the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, indicating opportunities for improvement. Workforce participation remains relatively typical at 73.2%, which is higher than the Greater Sydney figure of 68.9%.
Census data reveals that 27.8% of residents worked from home, though the lasting effects of Covid-19 lockdown periods should be taken into account when interpreting these figures. Resident workers are primarily engaged within construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Local manufacturing concentration is particularly elevated, tracking at 1.6 times regional levels. Conversely, the professional & technical sector accounts for only 3.8% of employment locally compared to 11.5% across the broader region. Comparisons between Census resident counts and local workplace numbers point to a modest volume of job opportunities within the immediate area. Over the recent 12-month period, AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that local jobs expanded by 5.2% while the workforce grew by 6.3%, leading to an unemployment rise of 1.0 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney, jobs rose by 1.9%, the labour supply expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment saw a marginal decline. Future labour demand can be evaluated through Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral trends against St Helens Park's workforce distribution suggests potential local employment increases of 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (representing a baseline illustrative extrapolation that excludes localized demographic 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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,647 at the 2021 Census → 6,595 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.
