Sales Detail
Windale has an estimated 3,462 residents, up from 3,421 at the 2021 Census — a change of 41 people, or 1.2%. That puts 1,681 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 Windale has an estimated resident count of around 3,462, determined by AreaSearch through evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified following the Census. This represents a 41-person gain (1.2%) relative to the 3,421 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated from an estimated baseline of 3,433 residents after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 5 post-Census validated new addresses. Population density stands at 1,680 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the benchmark across all nationwide locations assessed by AreaSearch.
With post-Census growth of 1.2%, the suburb of Windale sits within 2.1 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (3.3%), displaying solid growth characteristics. Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 63.0% of total local population additions over recent timeframes. SA2-level projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as a base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch, with NSW State Government SA2 projections (released in 2022 utilizing 2021 as the base year) utilized for unlisted areas. Age-specific expansion rates derived from these datasets are extended across all locations for the period covering 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, demographic forecasts suggest growth slightly under the median for regional Australian markets; the suburb of Windale is projected to expand by 262 persons through to 2041 via aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 6.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
89 new dwellings have been approved in Windale over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 5.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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
Statistical allocations of ABS building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch show that Windale has averaged approximately 17 new residential approvals per year, accumulating an estimated 89 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, 3 approvals have been logged. In the context of recent population contraction, this delivery pipeline has likely aligned with local demand to sustain buyer choice, with newly approved homes carrying an average construction cost of $235,000—a figure below regional benchmarks that highlights cost-effective building activity. Meanwhile, commercial approvals for the current financial year total $3.7 million, pointing to modest commercial construction activity.
Compared with Rest of NSW, building activity in Windale remains moderately elevated, tracking 29.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period to balance prospective purchaser options with local asset stability, notwithstanding a recent cooling in approval volumes. Attached dwellings and units constitute 65.0% of approved construction, while standalone houses account for 35.0%. This leaning toward higher-density formats provides accessible entry price points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors. This signals a notable pivot from the existing structural profile (currently 75.0% houses), driven by constrained development site availability along with changing buyer lifestyle preferences and affordability needs. The locality averages around 1716 people per dwelling approval, indicative of a mature market. According to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Windale is slated to add 233 residents by 2041. Maintained at existing rates, residential construction should readily satisfy incoming dwelling demand, maintaining healthy buyer conditions and potentially enabling expansion above current baseline projections.

1,035 residents of Windale are employed, from a labour force of 1,240. Unemployment sits at 16.5%, with participation at 45.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,091, about 89% 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
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that Windale maintains a mixed employment base across blue and white collar positions, backed by solid essential service participation, alongside an unemployment rate of 16.5%. As of March 2026, 1,035 residents are employed; however, the local jobless rate exceeds Regional NSW's 4.1% by 12.4 percentage points, and labor force participation remains subdued at 45.6% versus 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census returns recorded that only 8.5% of workers worked remotely from home, though pandemic restrictions during that period may have influenced this outcome. Local workers are concentrated most heavily across health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food.
In particular, health care & social assistance stands out with local resident representation at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for merely 0.4% of local workers, compared with 5.3% in Regional NSW. Contrasting the resident count with the Census local working population underlines that this predominantly residential enclave provides relatively few internal employment options. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026 reveals an 8.2% drop in employment alongside a 1.3% reduction in the total labor force, which lifted local unemployment by 6.3 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9%, the labor pool contract by 0.4%, and unemployment edge upward by 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26 provide context on structural workforce trends. Applying these five- and ten-year national industry forecasts—which project overall employment to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to the local industry profile points to potential employment gains in Windale of 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this reflects an unadjusted industry-weighted model for illustrative context and excludes localized population dynamics).

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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,421 at the 2021 Census → 3,462 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.
