Sales Detail
The Oaks has an estimated 2,925 residents, down from 2,982 at the 2021 Census — a change of 57 people, or 1.9%. Density is about 75 people per 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic updates along with newly confirmed residential addresses following the Census, the suburb of The Oaks has an estimated resident tally of roughly 2,925 as of Aug 2026. This indicates a contraction of 57 people (1.9%) relative to the 2,982 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such demographic movement is deduced from an estimated resident total of 2,907 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, combined with 15 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 75 persons per square kilometer, the local population density remains low, offering generous space per resident alongside capacity for subsequent development.
Natural increase served as the primary contributor to local demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 50.0% of recent population additions, with interstate migration and overseas migration also registering positive inputs. Population forecasts adopted by AreaSearch utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia figures with 2022 serving as the baseline year for SA2 boundaries, while uncovered locations rely on 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling with a 2021 base year. Cohort growth rates from these datasets are projected forward for 2032 to 2041 across all territories. Demographically, future growth for the suburb of The Oaks is slated to track marginally below the median across AreaSearch benchmark areas, expanding by 313 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 10.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
75 new dwellings have been approved in The Oaks over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 3.5 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
Examining ABS residential construction consent figures distributed at the local area level, AreaSearch reports that The Oaks has averaged approximately 15 residential approvals annually, amounting to around 75 homes throughout the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 1 approvals have been authorized. Against recent population declines, this additions pace has kept pace with local housing requirements, ensuring adequate choice for prospective purchasers. Meanwhile, approved residences average an estimated construction cost of $736,000, pointing toward developer focus on upmarket, higher-tier residences. Furthermore, non-residential activity is highlighted by $284,000 in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year, underlining the largely residential profile of the locality.
Relative to Greater Sydney, residential construction intensity in The Oaks is significantly subdued, sitting 80.0% below regional average per person. Such tight supply pipelines typically support capital values and buyer interest across established stock. Approved dwellings consist of 90.0% standalone homes and 10.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining the neighborhood's established low-density setting while prioritizing spacious detached layouts tailored to family living. Demonstrating this restrained planning environment, the area records approximately 1949 people in the area per dwelling approval. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, The Oaks is modeled to expand by 295 residents moving forward to 2041. Under current building volumes, incoming residential additions are well positioned to satisfy anticipated demand, sustaining balanced buying conditions while potentially enabling population gains beyond existing baseline forecasts.

1,833 residents of The Oaks are employed, from a labour force of 1,854. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 79.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,144, about 73% 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 labour market in The Oaks features a capable workforce, underscored by an exceptional concentration in building trades, an unemployment rate standing at only 1.1%, and annual employment growth estimated at 5.3% according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 1,833 residents are employed, while local unemployment sits 3.0% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%. Concurrently, labor force engagement is substantially elevated, recording 79.8% compared to Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records indicate that 27.5% of working residents operated from home, an outcome potentially influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
Resident employment centers primarily around construction, health care & social assistance, alongside education & training. Building and construction shows extraordinary representation locally, employing workers at 2.2 times the regional average. In contrast, professional & technical occupations represent a smaller share at 4.2% versus the regional average of 11.5%. A comparison between local resident counts and Census working population figures suggests relatively few employment opportunities are based directly within the immediate community. AreaSearch analysis synthesizing ABS and SALM metrics over the twelve months to March 2026 reveals that employment expanded by 5.3% alongside a 5.4% expansion in the resident workforce, with joblessness holding virtually static. Throughout the identical timeframe, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, labour force growth of 1.9%, and a slight reduction in unemployment. For forward-looking labor demand in The Oaks, national projections released in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide extended context across five and ten-year horizons. Across the nation, total employment is projected to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, albeit with notable divergence across sectors. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the existing industrial composition of The Oaks suggests local job numbers could rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (representing a benchmark weighting model that excludes localized demographic 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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,982 at the 2021 Census → 2,925 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.
