Sales Detail
Warrimoo has an estimated 2,658 residents, up from 2,452 at the 2021 Census — a change of 206 people, or 8.4%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 310 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
Demographic evaluation by AreaSearch, drawing on ABS regional updates and post-Census address validations, places the population of the suburb of Warrimoo at roughly 2,658 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2,452 residents counted in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 206 people, or 8.4%. The assessment builds upon an estimated resident figure of 2,657 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 3 newly validated addresses identified since the Census. With a population density of 309 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample physical room and capacity for future expansion.
The suburb of Warrimoo outpaced regional benchmarks with its 8.4% expansion since the 2021 census, exceeding the 1.6% rate of the SA3 area as well as the broader SA4 region to stand out as a local growth hub. Most of this population gain was generated by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 53.0% of the overall increase in recent times. Projections for the suburb of Warrimoo incorporate ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 using 2022 as a base, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2022 against a 2021 base. Age-cohort growth trends derived from these sources are extended across all locations from 2032 to 2041. Over this timeframe, long-term demographic modelling suggests a slight contraction, with the local headcount projected to fall by 50 persons by 2041. Even so, specific age brackets will see expansion, most prominently the cohort aged 85 and over, which is forecast to gain 93 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
34 new dwellings have been approved in Warrimoo over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Warrimoo has recorded an annual average of approximately 6 residential approvals, totaling an estimated 34 dwellings over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 13 approved to date in FY-25. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 3.5 incoming residents arrived per newly constructed dwelling, creating a substantial supply shortfall that typically fuels property price increases and buyer competition. Furthermore, with an average construction cost of $675,000 per dwelling, residential building activity is heavily weighted toward high-end, premium housing.
On the commercial front, approved works total $1.6 million during this financial year, reflecting subdued commercial planning activity. On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Warrimoo surpass Greater Sydney by 105.0%, providing prospective purchasers with considerable choice. The pipeline of new residential construction is divided into 80.0% standalone houses and 20.0% medium-to-high density formats like townhouses and apartments, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood character while offering spacious family accommodation. This represents an evolution from the current housing stock (currently 99.0% houses), pointing to constrained land availability as well as shifting consumer preferences toward more diverse and attainable housing types. There are roughly 182 people per dwelling approval, underscoring an active development market. With demographic forecasts pointing toward a plateauing or declining population, future pressure on local housing demand may ease, fostering favorable conditions for property purchasers.

1,580 residents of Warrimoo are employed, from a labour force of 1,586. Unemployment sits at 0.4%, with participation at 74.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,283, 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 Warrimoo is defined by high education levels, strong representation across essential services, and a remarkably low unemployment rate of 0.4%, according to aggregated statistical figures from AreaSearch. In March 2026, 1,580 residents were actively employed, while local unemployment sat 3.7% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is notably elevated at 74.3%, compared to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records also revealed that 46.9% of workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment sectors for local residents are education & training, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Warrimoo shows a strong concentration in education & training, employing workers at 1.9 times the regional rate. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is comparatively underrepresented, making up 7.8% of the local workforce relative to 11.5% throughout Greater Sydney. Comparing the resident workforce against the Census daytime working population indicates that local job opportunities within the area itself remain limited. According to AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures across wider statistical areas, the preceding 12-month period recorded a 2.0% contraction in the labour force alongside a 2.0% drop in employment, while the level of joblessness held steady. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% increase in both employment and labour force numbers, alongside a minor reduction in unemployment. Looking ahead, national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context on potential local workforce requirements over five and ten-year horizons. Across the nation, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific trajectories to the local workforce structure indicates prospective employment gains of 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years.

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,452 at the 2021 Census → 2,658 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.
