Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates and newly verified addresses following the Census, the suburb of St Leonards (NSW) has an estimated count of approximately 8,247 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 7,212 persons recorded at the 2021 Census, this demonstrates an expansion of 1,035 individuals (14.4%). Such growth is calculated from the 8,228 resident baseline estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an added 887 validated new addresses identified post-Census. Consequently, population density reaches 10,308 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% of areas reviewed across the country and driving intense demand for local land.
With its 14.4% rise since the 2021 census, the suburb of St Leonards (NSW) outpaced both the SA4 region (5.9%) and the broader state to establish itself as a regional growth leader. The primary catalyst behind these gains was overseas migration, generating roughly 71.0% of recent population additions. Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections pegged to a 2022 baseline for each SA2, turning to 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures (based on 2021) wherever gaps exist, with age cohort trajectories extending across all localities from 2032 to 2041. Future expectations place the suburb of St Leonards (NSW) in the top quartile across Australia, as aggregated SA2-level figures point to an increase of 2,310 persons by 2041, representing cumulative growth of 27.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
273 new dwellings have been approved in St Leonards (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 11% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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 by AreaSearch indicates that annual residential approvals in St Leonards stand at approximately 54 dwellings, totaling an estimated 273 residences over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) with 13 approved during FY-25 to date. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an influx averaging 4.9 people per year for every completed dwelling has created strong demand that outstrips supply, intensifying buyer competition and elevating price pressure. Meanwhile, developers have concentrated on the higher end of the market, yielding an average construction cost of $908,000 per newly built home.
In addition, commercial construction has seen a moderate volume, registering $25.5 million in commercial approvals this financial year. Per-capita building rates in St Leonards align closely with the Greater Sydney benchmark, maintaining steady market conditions relative to the wider metropolitan area despite a recent slowdown in building output. Detached houses represent 11.0% of new residential development, while townhouses or apartments comprise 89.0%. This emphasis on higher-density formats provides more accessible price points and draws interest from downsizers, first-time buyers, and investors. The suburb is an established market, recording around 814 people per dwelling approval. Projections indicate that St Leonards will add 2,291 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If construction continues at current paces, housing delivery could fall behind demographic expansion, heightening competition for properties and bolstering prices.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,318, about 186% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
St Leonards boasts a highly skilled labor market featuring significant representation in the technology industry, an unemployment rate of just 3.0%, and annual employment expansion estimated at 1.7% from AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,809, while the local jobless rate sits 1.1% lower than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Workforce engagement is notably elevated, reaching 80.4% compared to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records showed 67.0% working from home, a figure shaped in part by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are professional & technical, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance.
Concentration in professional & technical fields is especially pronounced, capturing an employment share 2.1 times the regional average. Conversely, construction accounts for only 3.8% of local employment versus 8.6% across the region. With 2.4 workers for every resident as of the Census, the suburb serves as a regional employment destination that imports talent from adjacent communities. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures, the past 12-month period recorded a 1.7% gain in employment alongside a 1.0% rise in the labour force, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment climbed by 1.9%, the labour force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. Mar-26 national workforce outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia shed additional light on future trends for St Leonards when applied across local industry structures. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector trajectories vary widely. Extrapolating these industry rates across the local workforce structure indicates employment growth in St Leonards of 7.8% over five years and 15.3% over ten years (as an unadjusted weighting projection for illustrative purposes that excludes local population estimates).

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 — 887 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,212 at the 2021 Census → 8,247 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.
