Detail
Analyzing ABS population data for the surrounding region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census indicates that the suburb of Sutherland (NSW) has an estimated population of approximately 12,227 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 657 people (5.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 11,570 residents. The estimate builds upon a resident population of 12,139 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 and 281 newly confirmed addresses since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 3,424 individuals per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Sutherland (NSW) in the top quartile of all Australian areas assessed by AreaSearch.
The 5.7% growth rate of the suburb of Sutherland (NSW) since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 area (3.1%) and the wider SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of these population gains was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 74.0% of the total increase during recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch utilizes projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline. Age group growth rates derived from these sources are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic trends indicate that the suburb of Sutherland (NSW) will experience population growth above the national median, with projections suggesting an increase of 1,558 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level data, which represents a total growth of 12.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
317 new dwellings have been approved in Sutherland (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 63 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 61 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 57, broadly in line with 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas show that Sutherland has recorded an annual average of roughly 63 new home approvals, summing to an estimated 317 residences over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, there have been 53 approvals registered. Over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the area attracted an average of 2.1 new residents per completed home, pointing to strong demand that supports property values. Newly constructed dwellings carry an average estimated cost of $467,000, which is moderately higher than the regional average and points to a focus on quality builds.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $42.4 million during this financial year, indicating solid investment from local businesses. Sutherland exhibits 72.0% more residential development activity per resident than Greater Sydney, offering prospective buyers a diverse selection of properties. Recent building approvals consist of 15.0% free-standing houses and 85.0% attached residences. This concentration of medium and high-density options provides more accessible price points for buyers, attracting individuals downsizing, property investors, and first-time home buyers. With a ratio of approximately 179 people for each approved dwelling, Sutherland is characterized as a low density development area. Projecting forward, Sutherland is anticipated to add 1,470 new residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the incoming supply of housing is expected to satisfy demand, which should benefit buyers and potentially pave the way for expansion that outpaces modern projections.

7,466 residents of Sutherland (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 7,829. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 74.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,817, about 88% 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 local workforce is characterized by high levels of educational attainment, a prominent professional services sector, an unemployment rate of 4.6%, and steady job trends over the prior year, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 7,466 employed residents, with an unemployment rate that sits 0.5% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is notably elevated, reaching 74.9% compared to the 69.1% recorded across Greater Sydney. Census records show that a high proportion of residents, 45.9%, worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 pandemic containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. The local community exhibits a strong concentration in public administration & safety, with employment in this sector reaching 1.5 times the regional average. In contrast, the accommodation & food services sector is less represented, accounting for 4.5% of jobs compared to the regional benchmark of 5.8%. Although local jobs are available, census data tracking the working population against residents suggests a significant proportion travel to other areas for work. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated by AreaSearch across broader regions reveals that the labor force expanded by 0.2% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 0.3%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9% and the labor force expand by 1.9%, resulting in a negligible change. Long-term employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate potential workforce demand in Sutherland. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local employment distribution suggests that local employment will grow by 7.0% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, using a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population growth.

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 — 281 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,570 at the 2021 Census → 12,227 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.
