Suffolk Park has an estimated 4,263 residents, up from 4,222 at the 2021 Census — a change of 41 people, or 1.0%. That puts 1,025 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Suffolk Park has an estimated population of approximately 4,263 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 41 people (1.0%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,222 people. This shift is derived from the resident population of 4,257, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) along with an additional 19 validated new addresses since the Census date.
Such population levels result in a density ratio of 1,024 persons per square kilometer, matching typical averages across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. The suburb of Suffolk Park's 1.0% growth since census is within 2.7 percentage points of the SA4 region (3.7%), showing competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth in the area was mostly driven by overseas migration, which made up approximately 92.0% of all population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 areas without this data, AreaSearch utilizes NSW State Government projections at the SA2 level, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic trends, a population increase just below the median of regional areas nationwide is anticipated, with the suburb of Suffolk Park expected to grow by 425 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a gain of 9.8% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
45 new dwellings have been approved in Suffolk Park over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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 by AreaSearch of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data indicates that the suburb of Suffolk Park has averaged approximately 9 new homes approved annually, reaching an estimated 45 homes over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 3 approvals have been documented. Because the population has decreased over the past period, new supply has likely matched demand, providing good options for buyers, while new homes are being constructed with an average value of $1,600,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the premium market segment with higher-end properties.
Furthermore, $5.5 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, highlighting the area's primary residential nature. Compared to Rest of NSW, building activity in the suburb of Suffolk Park is considerably lower, sitting at 64.0% below the regional average per capita. This scarcity of new dwellings typically supports demand and prices for existing properties, even though building activity has accelerated in recent years. This level is also below the national average, indicating the established nature of the area and suggesting potential planning restrictions. New development consists of 40.0% standalone homes and 60.0% medium and high-density housing. This skew toward compact living options offers affordable entry paths and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a significant shift from the current housing mix (currently 69.0% houses), reflecting a reduced supply of development sites and addressing changing lifestyle demands and affordability needs. With approximately 235 people per dwelling approval, the suburb of Suffolk Park displays characteristics of a low density area. Future projections indicate the suburb of Suffolk Park will add 419 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, which could increase buyer competition and support price growth.

2,334 residents of Suffolk Park are employed, from a labour force of 2,390. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 67.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,690, about 87% 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 Suffolk Park has a highly educated workforce, with significant tourism and hospitality sectors, an unemployment rate of only 2.3%, and 2.5% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,334 residents are employed, which is 1.8% below the rate of 4.1% in Regional NSW, and workforce participation is exceptionally high at 67.0% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data reveals that a high 30.8% of residents worked from home, though the impacts of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Employment among residents is concentrated in accommodation & food, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical. The area shows particular employment specialization in accommodation & food, with an employment share 2.1 times the regional level. Conversely, public administration & safety has a limited presence with 1.8% employment compared to 7.5% regionally. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the comparison between the Census working population and resident population counts. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels rose by 2.5% and the labour force grew by 2.8%, resulting in an unemployment increase of 0.3 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW recorded an employment decline of 0.9%, a labour force decline of 0.4%, with unemployment rising 0.5 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within the suburb of Suffolk Park. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local employment mix suggests employment should increase by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes that does not account for localized 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,222 at the 2021 Census → 4,263 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.
