Sales Detail
Warilla has an estimated 6,334 residents, up from 6,226 at the 2021 Census — a change of 108 people, or 1.7%. That puts 2,554 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
Following assessment of recent ABS population statistics and address verifications by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Warilla has a projected population of approximately 6,334 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 108 residents (1.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 6,226 individuals. The estimate is calculated from a resident base of 6,328 determined by AreaSearch utilizing the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 50 validated new addresses added after the Census. This population level yields a density of 2,554 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top national quartile analyzed by AreaSearch.
Recent growth has been heavily supported by international migration, which accounted for roughly 56.99999999999999% of the overall population gains. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas outside this coverage, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Demographic growth trajectories for specific age brackets from these sources are extended to all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected shifts, the total population is modeled to contract by 46 individuals by 2041. In contrast, select cohorts are expected to expand, particularly residents aged 25 to 34, who are forecast to increase by 129 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
165 new dwellings have been approved in Warilla over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That is 5.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 36 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 28% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals distributed from broader statistical divisions, the suburb of Warilla averages approximately 33 approved residential properties annually. This translates to an estimated 165 home approvals across the preceding 5 fiscal years (from FY-21 to FY-25) alongside 27 during the current FY-26 period. Given the recent population reduction, incoming supply appears to align with local requirements, providing options for prospective buyers, with new builds averaging a construction cost of $386,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $3.3 million during the current fiscal year, highlighting the mostly residential character of the locality.
Compared against the Rest of NSW, the suburb of Warilla registers roughly two-thirds the volume of new residential approvals per capita, while ranking in the 75th percentile of all localities evaluated across the country. Recent building approvals consist of 28.0% standalone houses and 72.0% medium to high-density options. This orientation toward higher-density housing offers cost-effective entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. The trend marks a shift from the current housing stock (which consists of 71.0% houses), indicating a decline in vacant developable land alongside evolving preferences for diverse, lower-cost housing. The area records approximately 164 residents for every new dwelling approval, suggesting a low-density market landscape. As the population is anticipated to contract or hold steady, the suburb of Warilla is likely to experience less pressure on residential stock, potentially opening up opportunities for prospective buyers.

2,326 residents of Warilla are employed, from a labour force of 2,732. Unemployment sits at 14.8%, with participation at 51.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,447, about 86% 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
Warilla demonstrates a mix of white and blue collar jobs alongside strong representation in essential services, with an unemployment rate of 14.8% and an estimated employment growth of 2.8% over the previous year according to AreaSearch aggregated statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,326 residents are employed while the local unemployment rate stands at 10.7%, which is 4.1% higher than the Regional NSW average, indicating potential for improvement, and workforce participation is notably lower at 51.5% versus 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data reveals that 15.3% of residents worked from home at the time of survey, though the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting this figure.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a distinct concentration in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.2 times the rate seen regionally. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented, employing 0.5% of the workforce compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. The highly residential character of the area appears to limit local employment options, as shown by comparing the local working population with resident counts from the Census. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce expanded by 2.8% and the total labor force grew by 2.2%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in employment and a 0.4% reduction in the labor force, alongside a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment demand can be interpreted via the Jobs and Skills Australia forecasts from May-25. These five and ten-year national outlooks are projected onto the local industry structure. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by industry. Projecting these trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, based on a simple weighting of local sectors without adjusting for local population forecasts.

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 — 50 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,226 at the 2021 Census → 6,334 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL14169). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
