Warilla has an estimated 6,338 residents, up from 6,226 at the 2021 Census — a change of 112 people, or 1.8%. That puts 2,556 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 Warilla has an estimated population of around 6,338, derived from AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside 49 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. This figure indicates an addition of 112 people (1.8%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 6,226 people. AreaSearch established this change following an estimated resident population count of 6,327 from the June 2025 ABS ERP release. The suburb of Warilla records a population density of 2,555 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the upper quartile of national areas assessed by AreaSearch.
Inbound overseas migration was the primary driver of demographic expansion, accounting for approximately 56.99999999999999% of total population growth in recent times. For demographic forecasting across SA2 regions, AreaSearch applies ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, while drawing upon NSW State Government SA2 figures released in 2022 with a 2021 base year for any uncovered locations. Cohort growth rates from these datasets are applied to the suburb of Warilla across the years 2032 to 2041. Projections over this timeframe point to a net demographic reduction, with the population expected to contract by 47 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, specific demographics will expand, spearheaded by the 25 to 34 age bracket, which is forecast to gain 119 people. Detailed information is provided in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
186 new dwellings have been approved in Warilla over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That is 6.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 33% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, 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
Examining ABS building approval statistics across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch notes that Warilla averages around 37 approved dwellings annually. Across the past 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 186 residential approvals were granted, with 30 recorded during FY-25 to date. In the context of recent demographic reductions, residential construction pipeline activity has remained relatively sound, benefiting prospective purchasers. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $367,000, aligning with regional standards. Concurrently, $3.3 million in commercial building approvals have been registered during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the locality.
Per capita residential approvals in Warilla run at roughly three-quarters the level observed across Rest of NSW, positioning the locality in the 71st percentile nationally. The current development pipeline comprises 33.0% detached houses alongside 67.0% semi-detached townhouses and apartments. This pronounced shift toward higher-density dwelling options creates accessible entry price points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizing households. This also highlights a structural evolution away from the existing built environment (which consists of 71.0% houses), reflecting land availability constraints as well as changing lifestyle requirements for diverse housing choices. With approximately 166 people per approval, Warilla exhibits low-density development metrics. With demographic projections anticipating static or contracting numbers, Warilla is likely to see reduced pressure on local housing supply, generating advantageous market dynamics for prospective buyers.

The project includes a contemporary performing arts center, convention spaces, and a digital gallery. It is designed to be a landmark destination that integrates innovative technology with accessible creative spaces for local and visiting artists, fostering community engagement and tourism in the Shellharbour Village area.
2,347 residents of Warilla are employed, from a labour force of 2,761. Unemployment sits at 15.0%, with participation at 52.1%. 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 5,436, 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
The local labour market in Warilla features a balanced spread between blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by solid representation across essential services. Based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations, estimated employment expanded by 2.9% over the past year, alongside an unemployment rate of 15.0%. As of March 2026, 2,347 local residents are employed. The jobless rate sits 10.9% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, highlighting labour capacity, while the local participation rate of 52.1% trails the Regional NSW level of 60.6%. Census data also indicated that 15.3% of workers operated from home, though potential distortions from Covid-19 restrictions should be noted.
Health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction constitute the primary employment sectors for local residents. Sector concentration is particularly pronounced in health care & social assistance, where local workforce representation is 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of local employment, well below the 5.3% observed regionally. Comparing Census resident worker numbers against local job counts indicates that this largely residential community provides relatively few employment positions within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS and SALM metrics in the year to March 2026, Warilla registered a 2.9% rise in employment and a 2.4% expansion in the labour force, driving a 0.4 percentage points decline in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe in Regional NSW, employment contracted by 0.9%, the labour force declined by 0.4%, and the jobless rate increased by 0.5 percentage points. Broader demand indications stem from Jobs and Skills Australia national industry forecasts published in Mar-26. Projected nationally at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry expansion varies considerably across sectors. Mapping these sector projections to the local workforce structure indicates Warilla could see employment growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% across ten years, noting this reflects an unadjusted weighting model for illustrative purposes rather than localised demographic modelling.

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 — 49 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,226 at the 2021 Census → 6,338 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.
