This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Waverton has an estimated 3,163 residents, up from 2,981 at the 2021 Census — a change of 182 people, or 6.1%. Overseas migration accounts for 69.0% of that increase. That puts 4,519 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Waverton is estimated to have a population of approximately 3,163, derived from AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census validated address counts. Compared to the 2,981 residents recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 182 people (6.1%). This expansion is based on an Estimated Resident Population figure of 3,150 determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP update, combined with 15 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With a density of 4,518 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Waverton ranks within the top 10% nationwide in AreaSearch benchmarks, reflecting intense demand for local land.
The 6.1% rate of expansion outpaced the wider SA4 region (5.9%), establishing the suburb of Waverton as a regional frontrunner in demographic growth. This gain was chiefly propelled by overseas migration, which made up roughly 69.0% of recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 district applied by AreaSearch originate from ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 (using a 2022 base year), supplemented where needed by NSW State Government SA2 modeling released in 2022 (anchored to 2021). Age-specific expansion trajectories from these datasets are extended across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Waverton is anticipated to register an increase slightly below the national statistical area median, expanding by 298 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 estimates, which denotes an overall 9.0% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
32 new dwellings have been approved in Waverton over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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 examination of ABS building approvals across statistical geographies, residential consent in Waverton has averaged roughly 6 dwellings per annum. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an estimated 32 homes were approved, including 4 so far in FY-25. An influx of 1.3 new residents per year per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates balanced supply-demand conditions that support market stability. Furthermore, approved residences carry an average estimated construction value of $784,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on high-end, premium builds.
Per capita residential approvals in Waverton run at roughly three-quarters of the Greater Sydney benchmark and sit at the 65th percentile across the country, despite an upturn in building work in recent times. This lower volume relative to national figures suggests an established, mature market with potential land or planning limitations. All recently approved construction has centered exclusively on attached dwellings. Embracing higher density provides more accessible price thresholds appealing to downsizers, property investors, and first-time purchasers. It also marks a distinct transition away from the prevailing structure of the area (where detached houses comprise 18.0%), highlighting a diminishing pool of development sites alongside changing living preferences and demand for diverse, cost-effective dwelling types. There are roughly 196 people per dwelling approval, reflecting a low density market structure. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Waverton is forecast to add 285 residents through to 2041. If residential construction continues at current paces, dwelling creation could fall behind population additions, potentially heightening competition among purchasers and reinforcing upward price momentum.

1,953 residents of Waverton are employed, from a labour force of 2,026. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 72.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.8% 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
Waverton boasts a highly educated workforce, with the technology sector standing out notably for its representation, an unemployment rate of just 3.7%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.6% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,953 residents are employed, while the unemployment rate sits at 0.5% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation remains fairly standard at 72.3% compared to Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census responses indicate that a high 69.2% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The primary industry sectors employing local residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance. Professional & technical services show particular local concentration, registering an employment share 2.0 times the broader metropolitan level. Conversely, the construction sector is less prevalent, engaging 4.0% of Waverton's resident workers compared to 8.6% across Greater Sydney. While the area provides local jobs, Census journey-to-work comparisons relative to the resident worker tally suggest that a substantial proportion of locals travel outside the district for employment. Drawing on AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics for the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 1.6% alongside a 1.0% expansion in the labor pool, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment climbed by 1.9% and the labor force rose by 1.9%, accompanied by a slight decrease in joblessness. Broader outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements. Mapping these five- and ten-year national trajectories (which project overall employment to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years) against the local industry composition yields an estimated local employment expansion of 7.8% over five years and 15.3% over ten years, noting that this simple industry-weighted projection is illustrative and excludes local demographic variables.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,981 at the 2021 Census → 3,163 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL14219). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
