Sales Detail
Sylvania Waters has an estimated 3,024 residents, down from 3,200 at the 2021 Census — a change of 176 people, or 5.5%. The population has thinned by an average 1.3% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 2,853 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Sylvania Waters is estimated to have a population of approximately 3,024, derived from AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases and new address validations post-Census. When compared to the 3,200 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates a reduction of 176 people (5.5%). This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population figure of 3,009 identified in the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 9 validated new addresses added following the Census. The suburb's density currently stands at 2,852 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile of nationally evaluated areas.
Population growth across recent cycles has been almost exclusively supported by net overseas arrivals. Projections for the suburb of Sylvania Waters draw on ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 modelling published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base), supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2022 (with a 2021 base). Furthermore, age-specific growth trajectories from these datasets are mapped across the 2032 to 2041 horizon. Looking ahead, population growth is anticipated to track slightly under the national median, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an addition of 153 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 4.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
26 new dwellings have been approved in Sylvania Waters over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 0.4 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
Building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch from ABS data show that Sylvania Waters has maintained a modest pace of roughly 5 residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 26 homes across the last 5 financial years (covering FY-21 through FY-25), with 1 recorded to date in FY-25. Amid recent population contraction, this supply volume has kept pace with local demand to sustain buyer options, with an average construction value of $801,000 signaling a strong developer emphasis on upmarket, higher-end residences. Additionally, commercial development remains minimal, with $5.4 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year.
Per capita residential construction in Sylvania Waters is significantly subdued, sitting 94.0% below the Greater Sydney regional average and well underneath national figures, which underscores the established profile of the suburb and points to constrained development capacity. This constrained supply pipeline typically provides price resilience for existing stock. Furthermore, recent development has been entirely concentrated in apartments and townhouses. This pivot toward medium-density housing introduces more manageable price points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers, representing a noticeable departure from the prevailing detached housing footprint (currently 80.0% houses) in response to changing demographic preferences and limited land availability. An approval ratio of around 3038 people per approval further illustrates a fully built-out residential environment. Long-term forecasts indicate that Sylvania Waters will gain 138 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures. At prevailing construction volumes, residential additions appear sufficient to satisfy anticipated demand, supporting orderly market conditions and creating potential capacity to accommodate growth beyond baseline expectations.

1,687 residents of Sylvania Waters are employed, from a labour force of 1,756. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 68.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,405, about 80% 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
Sylvania Waters features a skilled local workforce with a substantial professional presence, maintaining a low jobless rate of 3.9% according to AreaSearch's statistical area compilations. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,687, while the local unemployment rate sits 0.2% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, accompanied by a participation rate closely aligned with the metropolitan figure of 68.9%. Census records also showed 35.7% of employed locals working remotely from home, a figure influenced in part by pandemic-related restrictions. The primary industry sectors providing employment to residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Local workers exhibit a pronounced concentration in construction, where representation stands at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is comparatively underrepresented, accounting for 8.8% of the local workforce relative to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Given its predominantly residential nature, the suburb generates fewer jobs locally than its resident worker base, as evidenced by Census workplace versus residence metrics. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM data over the 12 months to March 2026 shows that local labor force numbers grew by 0.2% while resident employment fell by 0.8%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 1.0 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment and a matching 1.9% expansion in its labor force alongside a minor decrease in unemployment. Broader labor demand trends can also be assessed through Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections. Applying these five- and ten-year sectoral growth estimates to the local workforce composition—against national projected expansions of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—suggests local employment could lift by 6.7% across five years and 13.5% across ten years (representing an unadjusted industry-weighted projection for baseline reference that excludes localized demographic 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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,200 at the 2021 Census → 3,024 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.
