Detail
In the suburb of Waverley (NSW), analysis of ABS population revisions for the wider region and fresh addresses verified by AreaSearch following the Census indicates a resident count of approximately 4,393 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 177 residents (4.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 4,216 individuals. The adjustment is derived from the population estimate of 4,393 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) alongside 40 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 7,321 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch and highlighting the intense demand for local land.
The post-census growth rate of 4.2% in the suburb of Waverley (NSW) was 1.4 percentage points lower than the broader SA3 region (5.6%), showing a competitive expansion profile. Overseas arrivals were the primary driver of this growth, accounting for roughly 89.0% of the total population increase in recent times. For future projections in the suburb of Waverley (NSW), AreaSearch incorporates 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the base year, or NSW State Government SA2 projections from 2022 with a 2021 base year where regional data is unavailable. Age group expansion rates from these series are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Over the coming years, the suburb of Waverley (NSW) is set to experience population growth exceeding the national median, with projections indicating an increase of 770 residents by 2041, representing a total gain of 17.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
105 new dwellings have been approved in Waverley (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 4.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 4% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. 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 consent statistics distributed from local area data, Waverley has maintained an average of approximately 21 annual approvals for new dwellings, representing a total of 105 projected residences over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, no approvals have been registered. Relative to the contracting population in recent times, local construction has been sufficient, offering favorable conditions for purchasers, while newly approved residences show an average valuation of $777,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the upscale market segment with premium homes.
Furthermore, commercial consents valued at $13.2 million have been logged during the current financial year, pointing to a balanced rate of commercial building activity. Waverley recorded a rate of new residential approvals per capita that is 67.0% higher than the average for Greater Sydney, providing prospective purchasers with a wider selection of properties. The mix of recent housing approvals comprises 4.0% freestanding houses and 96.0% multi-unit or attached dwellings. This strong concentration of high-density housing options provides lower-cost options for entry and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time home buyers. There are approximately 141 individuals for each approved dwelling, pointing to a market of low density. Long-term projections indicate that Waverley will add 770 new inhabitants by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. Current building construction rates are tracking in line with these population projections, though prospective home buyers could face increased rivalry for properties as the resident count expands.

2,767 residents of Waverley (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 2,817. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 75.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Waverley is characterized by an exceptionally well-educated workforce, with notable representation in the technology industry, a jobless rate of only 1.8%, and job growth estimated at 1.2% over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 2,767 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate is 2.4% lower than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while labor force participation is exceptionally high at 75.5% compared to the metropolitan benchmark of 69.1%. Census records indicate that a substantial 60.1% of working locals operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local workers are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance. Representation in the professional & technical sector is especially pronounced, running at 1.7 times the metropolitan norm. Conversely, retail commerce is underrepresented, employing just 5.5% of the local workforce compared to 9.3% across Greater Sydney. A ratio of 0.8 workers for every local resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher-than-average volume of local employment options. Based on AreaSearch reviews of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated across wider regions, employment rose by 1.2% and the total labor force grew by 1.1% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.1 percentage point reduction in the jobless rate. During the same period, Greater Sydney recorded employment expansion of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decline. National employment projections from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on potential future labor requirements in Waverley. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to model future hiring trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary considerably by industry. Extrapolating these industry projections to the local employment distribution suggests Waverley's employment could rise by 7.5% over five years and 15.0% over ten years, though this simple weighting does not account for local population dynamics.

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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,216 at the 2021 Census → 4,393 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.
