Sales Detail
Wentworth Falls has an estimated 6,512 residents, up from 6,428 at the 2021 Census — a change of 84 people, or 1.3%. 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
Drawing on ABS regional population adjustments alongside post-Census address validations by AreaSearch, the suburb of Wentworth Falls records an estimated population of approximately 6,512 as of Aug 2026. This equates to an addition of 84 people (1.3%) compared with the 2021 Census count of 6,428 people. AreaSearch established this shift by reviewing the ABS Estimated Resident Population release from June 2025 showing 6,503 residents, coupled with 37 validated new addresses added post-Census. Current figures yield a population density of 309 persons per square kilometer, preserving open space while offering capacity for future expansion.
Over the prior ten years, the suburb of Wentworth Falls exhibited stable growth with a 0.5% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the broader SA3 area, with overseas migration serving as the principal contributor to demographic gains over recent times. Projections for the SA2 territory are sourced from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling anchored to 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort growth patterns from these series are applied across the board. Under this framework, demographic shifts point toward a gradual contraction in the suburb of Wentworth Falls, with resident numbers projected to decrease by 119 persons by 2041. Even so, certain brackets will see expansion, most prominently the 75 to 84 age group, which is slated to gain 255 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
49 new dwellings have been approved in Wentworth Falls over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. 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
Analysing ABS building approvals allocated across statistical areas, AreaSearch figures indicate that Wentworth Falls averages approximately 9 approved residential dwellings annually, totaling roughly 49 approved homes throughout the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 13 approved to date in FY-25. Across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of only 0.8 incoming residents arrived per new dwelling, indicating that supply comfortably accommodates demand, widening buyer opportunities and setting the stage for above-trend population expansion. The mean expected construction value for new dwellings is $648,000, marginally above regional benchmarks and indicative of premium builds.
Approved non-residential activity accounts for $180,000 this financial year, underscoring a development pipeline centered on housing. Per capita residential construction in Wentworth Falls trails Greater Sydney by 13.0%, sitting in the 19th percentile of areas evaluated across the country. Such restrained supply narrows selection for buyers while bolstering demand for established properties, reflecting an established urban landscape and prospective zoning constraints. Detached houses represent 90.0% of recent construction, with medium and high-density housing making up the remaining 10.0%, thereby preserving the low-density fabric and prioritizing spacious family properties. Furthermore, an average ratio of 761 people per approved home underscores the subdued, low-scale building pace. Given demographic forecasts projecting flat or contracting resident numbers, Wentworth Falls is expected to experience less pressure on housing demand, creating favorable conditions for prospective property buyers.

2,978 residents of Wentworth Falls are employed, from a labour force of 3,058. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 54.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,617, 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
Wentworth Falls benefits from a well-qualified local labour force and solid representation across core service industries, maintaining an unemployment rate of merely 2.6% according to AreaSearch statistical area compilations. Employed locals stood at 2,978 as of March 2026, alongside an jobless rate that sits 1.5% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, although the local participation rate of 54.9% remains substantially lower than Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records reveal that 45.7% of local workers performed their duties from home, an outcome that may reflect the influence of COVID-19 restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged across health care & social assistance, education & training, along with public administration & safety.
Education & training stands out in particular, registering a concentration 1.7 times the regional baseline. Conversely, finance & insurance represents only a minor share of local workers at 2.4%, compared to 7.3% across the wider region. Comparing Census numbers for local resident workers against the local daytime workforce indicates that the district remains predominantly residential with fewer employment roles situated locally. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistical data, the twelve months to March 2026 saw a 3.9% reduction in the local labour force alongside a 3.5% decrease in employed residents, lowering the overall unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney registered 1.9% growth in employment, a 1.9% expansion of its labour force, and a slight reduction in unemployment. Looking forward, Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26 outline nationwide employment expanding by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector trajectory varies. Weighting these sectoral paths against the occupational profile of Wentworth Falls projects local job opportunities to expand by 6.9% across five years and 14.2% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted projection intended for illustration and excludes localized demographic 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 — 37 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,428 at the 2021 Census → 6,512 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 (SAL14243). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
