Sales Detail
Warriewood has an estimated 9,429 residents, up from 8,379 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,050 people, or 12.5%. Growth has averaged 2.2% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. 241 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 96.0% of that increase. That puts 2,261 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
According to investigations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region alongside recent residential addresses confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Warriewood has an estimated residency of 9,429 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,050 individuals (12.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 8,379. This adjustment is calculated from a local residency of 9,362, determined by AreaSearch through analysing the latest ABS ERP figures from June 2025 in combination with 241 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. Such a population size represents a density of 2,261 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure recorded across Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 12.5% expansion rate in the suburb of Warriewood since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (2.5%) and the SA4 region, establishing the locality as a regional leader in population growth. This demographic increase was primarily driven by arrivals from overseas, which accounted for roughly 96.0% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections generated by Geoscience Australia and the ABS for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, have been adopted by AreaSearch. In instances where SA2 areas lacked this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline, were used. Estimated growth ratios by age category from these datasets are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic transformations, growth is projected to align with the lowest national quartile for statistical divisions, with the suburb of Warriewood expected to gain 135 residents by 2041 under the combined SA2-level forecasts, translating to a total rise of 0.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
273 new dwellings have been approved in Warriewood over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 68 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 41% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval statistics distributed from regional data, Warriewood averages approximately 54 approved residential dwellings each year, amounting to a total of 273 projected homes throughout the previous 5 financial years. During the current FY-26, 30 approvals have been documented. With an average of 3.5 additional occupants annually for each dwelling completed over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, addition of new housing is falling short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives up prices, while newly built properties average a value of $820,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end market with premium housing.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $4.3 million have been logged in the current financial year, which points to the area keeping its residential identity. Compared to Greater Sydney, building volume per capita in Warriewood is 114.0% higher, offering purchasers a wide range of options despite a recent slowdown in construction pace. Recent housing construction consists of 41.0% standalone houses and 59.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This emphasis on denser housing configurations provides more accessible entry-level pricing and aligns with the needs of downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. The area has roughly 280 residents for each dwelling approval, suggesting potential for further expansion. Future forecasts indicate that Warriewood will gain 68 additional residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimation. At the current pace of construction, the supply of new housing is expected to comfortably satisfy demand, which should create favorable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitate growth exceeding current demographic forecasts.

5,251 residents of Warriewood are employed, from a labour force of 5,409. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 71.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,396, about 110% 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
Warriewood possesses a highly educated labor force with a strong concentration of professionals, a low unemployment rate of 2.9%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.3% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch compilations of regional statistical data. In March 2026, the employed resident count reached 5,251, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.2% lower than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%, while participation in the workforce is standard at 71.8% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records indicate that a substantial 44.9% of residents worked from home, although this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. The locality exhibits a particularly high density of construction jobs, with employment levels sitting at 1.2 times the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing shows a lower presence, employing 3.2% of the local workforce compared to 5.3% in Greater Sydney. The presence of 0.8 workers for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher-than-average availability of local job opportunities. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the wider region reveal that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed individuals rose by 2.3% while the overall labor force grew by 3.0%, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, a labor force expansion of 1.9%, and a slight drop in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends in Warriewood. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been mapped against the local industry profile to estimate employment growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce structure indicates that employment within Warriewood is set to grow by 6.8% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes 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 — 241 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,379 at the 2021 Census → 9,429 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.
