Detail
According to calculations derived from ABS demographic releases for the wider region, alongside recent address validations performed by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Waverton has a population estimated at 3,159 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 178 people (6.0%) from the 2021 Census, when the head count was 2,981 people. The shift is based on the resident population of 3,146, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 and 15 validated new addresses added since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 4,512 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top 10% of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch, highlighting the high demand for local land.
The 6.0% expansion rate in the suburb of Waverton since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (5.9%), establishing it as a local growth frontrunner. This population growth was heavily supported by overseas arrivals, who accounted for approximately 69.0% of the overall demographic gains in the recent timeframe. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point, are used by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 territories lacking this information, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as a base year are substituted. Age-specific growth velocities from these datasets are projected forward for all areas from 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, the suburb of Waverton is projected to experience gains slightly below the national median for statistical divisions, adding 268 persons by 2041 under these combined SA2 estimates, which represents an overall rise of 8.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
58 new dwellings have been approved in Waverton over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 3.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from local statistical divisions shows that Waverton average around 11 dwellings approved for construction annually. This comprises an estimated 58 homes approved during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 2 approvals recorded during FY-26. Given that only 0.7 new residents arrived per approved home on average over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, supply matches or exceeds local demand, expanding options for purchasers and supporting growth capacity above standard forecasts. Furthermore, newly approved dwellings show an average expected construction cost of $895,000, indicating that builders are concentrating on upscale, high-end residential projects.
Waverton generates 81.0% more building approvals per capita than Greater Sydney, giving purchasers a wider selection of properties. Recent approvals have consisted entirely of attached dwellings. Focusing on high-density designs yields more attainable price points and attracts downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from the existing property mix where houses account for 18.0% of dwellings, indicating a lack of vacant land and reflecting changing lifestyle preferences and housing costs. With approximately 224 people per approved dwelling, Waverton retains the structural features of a low density area. Projecting forward, Waverton is forecast to add 255 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing is positioned to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially driving population gains beyond current forecasts.

1,946 residents of Waverton are employed, from a labour force of 2,018. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 72.4%. 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
Based on AreaSearch compilations of local statistical division data, Waverton supports a highly educated workforce, with particularly strong representation in the technology sector, an unemployment rate of only 3.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.7% over the past year. In March 2026, 1,946 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate sat 0.6% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Workforce participation is relatively standard, sitting at 72.4% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census responses indicated that a substantial 69.2% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local workers are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance. The locality displays a strong concentration in professional & technical services, which boasts a share 2.0 times the regional average. In contrast, construction workers represent only 4.0% of the workforce, compared to the regional benchmark of 8.6%. Although there are local employment opportunities, a comparison of the Census working population against the local resident count suggests a large portion of the community travels to other areas for work. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the surrounding region shows that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 1.7% while the labor force expanded by 1.1%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Sydney recorded job growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease in unemployment. Further details on future labor demand in Waverton can be found in the national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely by sector. Applying these specific industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents will rise by 7.8% over five years and 15.3% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation for comparison and does not account for specific local population forecasts.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,981 at the 2021 Census → 3,159 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.
