Sales Detail
Wareemba has an estimated 1,525 residents. That puts 4,766 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, combined with address records validated by AreaSearch post-Census, suggests the suburb of Wareemba has a population of approximately 1,525 as of May 2026. This represents a minor addition of 6 residents (0.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 1,519 residents. This calculation stems from an estimated resident count of 1,523 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, plus 11 newly validated addresses since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 4,765 residents per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest 10% of nationwide residential zones tracked by AreaSearch and highlights the high demand for local property.
Demographic expansion in this community was predominantly fueled by incoming international migration, which accounted for roughly 75.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas missing this coverage, projections at the SA2 scale from the NSW Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Growth trajectories by age bracket from these datasets are extended to project figures from 2032 to 2041. Looking to future trends, growth in the lower quartile of statistical locations evaluated by AreaSearch is anticipated, with the suburb of Wareemba projected to increase by 47 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 3.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
50 new dwellings have been approved in Wareemba over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 6.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 73, running ahead of 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's evaluation of ABS building approval records, allocated from local statistical divisions, shows that the suburb of Wareemba has averaged approximately 10 residential approvals per year. This yields a total of 50 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 67 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Amidst recent population declines, this incoming supply has likely balanced demand to give home buyers adequate options, while new construction displays an average estimated value of $913,000, signaling a clear developer preference for high-end, premium projects. Furthermore, $2.0 million in commercial building approvals have been registered during this financial year, reinforcing the highly residential nature of local building activity.
Development rates per resident in the suburb of Wareemba align closely with Greater Sydney, preserving a balanced market in step with adjacent suburbs, although construction momentum has slowed recently. Approved residential projects consist of 33.0% standalone houses and 67.0% medium-to-high density options like townhouses and apartments. This concentration on compact housing types provides more accessible entry prices for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizing households. This structure marks a distinct shift from the existing local housing stock, where standalone houses comprise 56.0% of dwellings, illustrating a reduction in vacant development sites alongside shifting lifestyle needs and a call for varied, affordable housing. There are approximately 203 residents for each approved dwelling, pointing to a low-density development climate. Projecting forward, the suburb of Wareemba is expected to add 45 new inhabitants by 2041, according to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Considering current building rates, incoming residential supply is well-positioned to satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially underpinning growth beyond current projections.

Lusso Drummoyne
Three luxury whole-floor waterfront residences designed by PBD Architects and Studio Aria for developer Perifa. The site is 76B St Georges Crescent. A 2021 DA (DA2020/0349) for a 3-unit residential flat building was refused by the Local Planning Panel and later appealed in the Land and Environment Court with amended plans exhibited.

As at now, no public approval is recorded; the scheme remains at planning/concept stage pending any new application or consent.
757 residents of Wareemba are employed, from a labour force of 781. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 61.1%. 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 1,231, about 81% 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 Wareemba is characterized by a highly educated labor force, particularly in the technology sector, and displays an unemployment rate of just 3.1%, based on compiled statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026757 residents are employed, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.1% under the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. However, the local participation rate of 61.1% is notably lower than the metropolitan rate of 69.1%. Census records indicate that a high proportion of employed residents (54.5%) performed their duties from home, though this figure reflects the influence of pandemic-related lock-downs.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are professional, scientific & technical services, financial & insurance services, and healthcare & social assistance. The community displays a strong concentration of workers in finance & insurance, representing 1.5 times the average share seen across the wider region. Conversely, retail trade is under-represented, employing only 5.2% of the local workforce compared to 9.3% across Greater Sydney. This predominantly residential suburb seems to provide minimal local employment, as shown by comparing the number of working residents to the working population counted within the area during the Census. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the recent 12-month window experienced a 2.5% contraction in the labor force and a 2.6% drop in overall employment, while local unemployment remained essentially unchanged. This contrasts with Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. Long-term national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context on future demand patterns. These five and ten-year national outlooks have been aligned with the local industry breakdown to project growth. While national employment is set to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment for the suburb of Wareemba will rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted calculation without adjusting for local population shifts.

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 — 11 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,519 at the 2021 Census → 1,525 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.
