Sales Detail
Warrawong has an estimated 4,692 residents, up from 4,659 at the 2021 Census. That puts 1,784 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
Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Warrawong is populated by an estimated 4,692 residents as of May 2026. This indicates an addition of 33 people (0.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 4,659 individuals. The trend is derived from a resident headcount of 4,673, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 20 validated new addresses added since the Census. This headcount translates to a density of 1,784 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figures across locations assessed nationally by AreaSearch.
In recent times, population gains were mostly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 69.0% of the overall growth. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 regions are not covered by these datasets, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year are utilised. Age cohort growth rates from these datasets are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, growth in the lower quartile of non-capital locations is anticipated, with the suburb of Warrawong expected to add 27 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 0.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
58 new dwellings have been approved in Warrawong over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, broadly in line with that longer-run average.

Detail
By analyzing building approvals from the ABS mapped from regional statistics, the suburb of Warrawong averaged approximately 11 new dwelling approvals annually. A total of 58 homes were approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 10 approvals registered so far during FY-26. Even with recent population declines, construction levels remain relative and supportive for prospective buyers, featuring new builds with an average estimated value of $425,000, which is higher than regional norms and points to quality-driven projects. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $9.1 million have been logged this financial year, underscoring the residential focus of the area.
Construction activity in the suburb of Warrawong is considerably lower than the Rest of NSW, sitting 60.0% below the regional average per capita. This lack of fresh supply typically bolsters demand and valuation for established properties. This rate of building is also below national benchmarks, highlighting the established state of the suburb and potential planning constraints. Detached houses comprise 79.0% of the new construction, while medium and high-density options account for 21.0%, maintaining the suburban feel with a focus on family-sized homes. With a ratio of approximately 720 people per approval, the suburb represents a mature and settled community. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, the suburb of Warrawong is projected to add 8 residents by 2041. Given current building trends, the supply of homes should comfortably satisfy demand, providing advantageous options for purchasers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces current predictions.

1,416 residents of Warrawong are employed, from a labour force of 1,794. Unemployment sits at 21.1%, with participation at 46.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,568, about 119% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 Warrawong features a balanced occupational mix of white and blue collar jobs, with significant contributions from manufacturing and industrial sectors. The local unemployment rate stands at 21.1%, with job markets remaining relatively steady over the past year based on compiled statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,416 residents are employed, though the unemployment rate sits 17.0% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, indicating room for growth. Participation in the labor force is also lower, recorded at 46.9% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census data indicates a moderate 15.7% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The suburb shows a notable concentration in retail trade, where the share of employment is 1.6 times the regional rate. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, making up 0.6% of employment compared to the regional standard of 5.3%. A ratio of 0.8 workers for each resident recorded at the Census points to local job availability that is above average. Based on SALM and ABS data compiled from wider regions by AreaSearch, the local workforce grew by 2.6% over the 12 months leading to March 2026, while total employment fell by 0.1%, resulting in a 2.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same period in Regional NSW, employment dropped by 0.9%, the labor force shrunk by 0.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional perspective on future labor demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local employment mix suggests jobs in the suburb of Warrawong could expand by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, noting this is a simple weighted calculation that does not incorporate local population 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 — 20 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,659 at the 2021 Census → 4,692 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.
