2,740 residents of St Peters (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 2,837. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 77.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 4,653, about 111% 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 Peters boasts an exceptionally skilled local workforce highlighted by major tech sector representation, a jobless level of merely 3.4%, and annual job growth estimated at 2.5% according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. There were 2,740 employed residents recorded as of March 2026, alongside an unemployment rate sitting 0.7% below the Greater Sydney mark of 4.1% and a participation rate reaching 77.5% versus 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census statistics indicated that 63.2% of workers performed their duties from home, an outcome potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident employment is primarily concentrated across professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance.
Local representation in professional & technical fields is especially pronounced, tracking at 1.5 times the surrounding regional level. Conversely, the construction industry engages only 5.6% of working locals, trailing the 8.6% share observed across Greater Sydney. A Census-era metric of 0.9 workers for each resident demonstrates solid local employment depth. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures across wider districts, local employment expanded by 2.5% over the 12-month period while the workforce grew by 1.9%, producing a 0.6 percentage point contraction in unemployment. Across Greater Sydney over the same window, employment increased by 1.9%, the labor pool widened by 1.9%, and unemployment registered a slight drop. Long-term trajectory modeling can be guided by Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26. Projected across local occupation patterns, these five- and ten-year models anticipate countrywide job gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector outcomes vary widely. Applying these industry weights indicates local St Peters employment would climb by 7.2% over five years and 14.4% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes 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 — 86 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,629 at the 2021 Census → 4,181 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.
