Sales Detail
Warrimoo has an estimated 2,662 residents, up from 2,452 at the 2021 Census — a change of 210 people, or 8.6%. 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
According to evaluations of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region and recently confirmed addresses by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Warrimoo has an estimated population of approximately 2,662 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 210 people (8.6%) from the 2021 Census, when the recorded population stood at 2,452 people. This shift is calculated based on the resident population of 2,659, projected by AreaSearch after analyzing the ABS ERP figures from June 2025 and 3 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. With this population size, the density is 310 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and opportunities for expanding housing.
The 8.6% growth rate in the suburb of Warrimoo since the 2021 census was higher than the SA3 area (1.6%) and the SA4 region, showing it is expanding faster than nearby localities. The rise in population was mainly supported by international migration, which accounted for roughly 53.0% of the overall demographic expansion over the recent timeframe. To estimate future trends, AreaSearch applies the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 district published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. When SA2 districts lack this information, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. The age cohort growth rates from these combined sources are projected forward to all localities from 2032 to 2041. Looking at demographic projections for the suburb of Warrimoo, the total population is predicted to shrink, with a projected reduction of 56 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, expansion is expected in certain age brackets, particularly the 85 and over demographic, which is anticipated to add 93 people. Refer to the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
31 new dwellings have been approved in Warrimoo over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That places the area in the 64th 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval statistics mapped from regional data, Warrimoo has averaged approximately 6 residential building approvals annually, accumulating to about 31 homes during the last 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 12 approvals have been documented so far. Since there are roughly 5.3 new residents annually for each completed dwelling constructed over the last 5 financial years (covering the period from FY-21 to FY-25), the need for housing is far greater than building activity, which generally elevates pricing and intensifies buyer competition, while new properties have an expected construction cost averaging $501,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end construction.
Furthermore, $1.6 million in commercial construction approvals have been registered during this financial year, reinforcing the residential focus of the locality. In contrast to Greater Sydney, Warrimoo registers slightly higher development volumes (20.0% higher than the regional per-capita average over the 5 year period), which helps maintain choices for purchasers while supporting demand for existing homes. However, this volume is lower than the nationwide average, indicating the established nature of the locality and suggesting potential zoning limitations. Recent construction approvals consist of 75.0% single-family homes and 25.0% multi-unit housing, maintaining the open character of the suburb with a focus on houses that appeal to buyers wanting space. This represents a notable shift from the prevailing housing stock (currently 99.0% houses), indicating fewer vacant parcels and responding to changing buyer preferences and budget constraints. Having about 203 people for each approved dwelling suggests that Warrimoo has traits of an expanding area. As demographic forecasts suggest steady or decreasing population figures, Warrimoo is expected to experience less pressure on housing demand, which should favor prospective purchasers.

1,572 residents of Warrimoo are employed, from a labour force of 1,577. Unemployment sits at 0.3%, with participation at 74.2%. 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 2,292, 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 workforce in Warrimoo is highly educated with significant employment in critical services, and the local unemployment rate is low at 0.3%, according to AreaSearch compiling of regional statistics. In March 2026, there are 1,572 employed community members, with the unemployment rate tracking 3.8% lower than the 4.1% recorded in Greater Sydney, while the labor participation rate of 74.2% is considerably higher than Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Census details show that a large portion of the working population, specifically 46.9%, worked from home, although this was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are education & training, health care & social assistance, and construction. There is a notable concentration of residents working in education & training, representing a share that is 1.9 times the metropolitan average. On the other hand, professional & technical services are less common, employing 7.8% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% across the wider region. There seems to be a lack of jobs situated within the suburb itself, as suggested by comparing the size of the local working population to the total number of employed residents. According to analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS statistics compiled from surrounding areas, the local labor force contracted by 2.1% and employment shrank by 2.0% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, resulting in a reduction of 0.1 percentage points in unemployment. This contrasts with Greater Sydney, which saw a 1.9% increase in jobs and a 1.9% expansion of the labor pool, with a slight decrease in the unemployment rate. Future opportunities in Warrimoo can be analyzed using the national employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year outlooks are mapped against local job types to project future employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth varies. Correlating these national sector estimates with the local employment distribution suggests that employment for Warrimoo residents could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local population changes.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,452 at the 2021 Census → 2,662 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 (SAL14192). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
