Sales Detail
Wentworth Point has an estimated 14,216 residents, up from 12,703 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,513 people, or 11.9%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. 369 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 44.0% of that increase. That puts 24,940 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region combined with new address validations by AreaSearch following the Census indicates that the suburb of Wentworth Point has an estimated population of approximately 14,216 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,513 people (11.9%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 12,703 residents. This adjustment is derived from a resident count of 13,979, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 369 validated new addresses established post-Census. With these numbers, the population density stands at 24,940 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Wentworth Point in the highest 10% of countrywide locations evaluated by AreaSearch, highlighting the high demand for local land.
The growth rate of 11.9% since the 2021 Census outpaced both the state average of 7.1% and the Greater Sydney region, positioning the suburb of Wentworth Point as a regional growth leader. This expansion was largely fueled by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 44.0% of the total demographic growth, though natural increase and interstate migration also remained positive contributors. For future projections, AreaSearch incorporates the 2024 projections from Geoscience Australia and the ABS for each SA2 region, utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the 2022 NSW State Government release are applied using a 2021 baseline. Age-specific growth rates from these combined sources are projectively applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these SA2 projections, the suburb of Wentworth Point is anticipated to experience remarkable growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide, with an expected increase of 8,075 residents leading up to 2041, representing a total gain of 55.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
608 new dwellings have been approved in Wentworth Point over the past five years, an average of 121 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 143 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 165, 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from local statistical data, the suburb of Wentworth Point has averaged approximately 121 residential approvals annually, culminating in an estimated 608 new dwellings over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 152 approvals registered. Given that an average of 3.4 individuals moved to the area for every completed home between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is significantly outstripping new supply, which typically exerts upward pressure on prices and intensifies buyer competition. Furthermore, commercial building approvals for this financial year stand at $7,000, underscoring the overwhelmingly residential character of the neighborhood.
In comparison to Greater Sydney, the rate of construction per capita in the suburb of Wentworth Point aligns closely with broader metropolitan trends to support market equilibrium, even though building pace has accelerated recently. Additionally, recent construction consists entirely of medium and high-density residential properties. This concentration on higher-density projects offers more affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. The current ratio stands at approximately 57 people for every residential approval, signaling a growing local market. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Wentworth Point will add 7,838 new residents by 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new dwellings may fall short of demographic growth, which could heighten competition among prospective buyers and drive stronger price appreciation.

9,552 residents of Wentworth Point are employed, from a labour force of 9,718. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 81.1%. 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 12,076, about 85% 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
The suburb of Wentworth Point is characterized by a highly qualified workforce with a prominent concentration in professional services, an unemployment rate of a mere 1.7%, and consistent jobs metrics over the last year according to AreaSearch regional data. In March 2026, 9,552 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate sat 2.4% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is also exceptionally high at 81.1% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records reveal that a substantial 58.3% of the working population operated from home, though this figure should be interpreted in light of pandemic-era restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical services, healthcare & social assistance, and financial & insurance services. Local specialization is particularly pronounced in professional & technical fields, where the employment share is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, healthcare & social assistance is underrepresented, employing only 10.9% of workers compared to 14.1% regionally. Comparing the resident workforce to local jobs indicates that this primarily residential locality offers relatively few employment opportunities within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader area, the labor force shrank by 0.2% and total employment dropped by 0.4% over the 12-month period, leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% expansion in employment, a 1.9% rise in the labor force, and a marginal decline in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective employment trends. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will perform differently. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents of the suburb of Wentworth Point could rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population trends.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,703 at the 2021 Census → 14,216 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL14244). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
