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 demographic updates across the surrounding region alongside post-Census address validation by AreaSearch, the suburb of Wentworth Point has an estimated population of approximately 14,455 as of Aug 2026. This equates to an expansion of 1,752 residents (13.8%) compared with the 2021 Census tally of 12,703 individuals. The estimate builds upon an ERP figure of 13,975 determined by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 data release, combined with 369 validated new addresses added since the Census count. With 25,359 persons per square kilometer, the suburb ranks in the top 10% nationally for density in AreaSearch assessments, highlighting strong competition for local land.
The suburb of Wentworth Point surpassed both the wider state benchmark (7.3%) and Greater Sydney with its 13.8% post-2021 Census growth rate, establishing itself as a standout regional growth center. Inbound overseas migration formed the chief driver of expansion, generating roughly 44.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and interstate arrivals. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for SA2 geographies, issued in 2024 using 2022 as a base year, form the core of AreaSearch's demographic modeling, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (2021 base year) where necessary. Age-specific trajectory rates across these models are applied to project local cohorts from 2032 to 2041. Forward projections place the suburb of Wentworth Point in the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide for anticipated expansion, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting an addition of 7,893 residents by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 51.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
551 new dwellings have been approved in Wentworth Point over the past five years, an average of 110 a year. That places the area in the 88th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 134 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 152, 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 review of ABS building approvals across relevant statistical boundaries, annual residential approvals in Wentworth Point average roughly 110 dwellings, totaling approximately 551 approved residences throughout the 5 financial years spanning between FY-21 and FY-25, alongside 152 approvals logged to date in FY-25. An influx of 3.1 new residents per year per finished dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates that buyer demand runs well ahead of new supply, creating upward pressure on prices, with newly constructed dwellings carrying an average expected construction cost of $505,000.
Non-residential building activity remains subdued, with just $7,000 in commercial development approvals recorded during the current financial year. Per capita construction activity in Wentworth Point stands 17.0% above the regional average over the 5 year period compared to Greater Sydney, providing buyers with options while supporting underlying values, even as building volumes have tempered recently. Medium and high-density formats have accounted for the totality of new builds, offering accessible pricing brackets that appeal to downsizers, property investors, and first home buyers. With roughly 181 residents for every approval, the locality exhibits the hallmarks of an expanding urban precinct. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Wentworth Point is slated to add 7,413 residents by 2041. Should building volumes fail to accelerate alongside this population inflow, constrained residential supply could intensify buyer competition and underpin future capital gains.

9,517 residents of Wentworth Point are employed, from a labour force of 9,681. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 81.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,379, 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 Point possesses an educated workforce concentrated in knowledge sectors, characterized by a minimal unemployment rate of 1.7% and stable job market conditions over the prior twelve months, based on AreaSearch statistical area data. Employment stood at 9,517 working residents as of March 2026, with an unemployment rate sitting 2.4% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, alongside an exceptionally strong labor force participation rate of 81.4% versus 68.9% regionally. At the Census, 58.3% of workers indicated they worked remotely, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The primary sectors employing local residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance. Professional & technical industries show distinct local concentration, employing residents at 1.3 times the regional rate. Conversely, health care & social assistance engages 10.9% of local workers compared to 14.1% across Greater Sydney. Discrepancies between the resident workforce and locally situated jobs demonstrate that this predominantly residential precinct offers comparatively few employment opportunities within its own borders. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures aggregated by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.3% while resident employment dropped 0.4%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate, contrasting with Greater Sydney which saw employment and labor force metrics both rise 1.9% alongside a slight unemployment drop. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future local labor requirements across five-year and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry variations applied to Wentworth Point's existing industry distribution indicate potential local employment gains of 7.0% over five years and 14.1% over ten years based on illustrative weighted extrapolation excluding localized 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 — 369 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,703 at the 2021 Census → 14,455 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.
