This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Windang has an estimated 2,606 residents. That puts 1,100 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
Based on assessments of ABS population adjustments for the surrounding district, combined with fresh address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Windang has an estimated residency of 2,606 people as of May 2026. This represents a minor reduction of 4 individuals (0.2%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 2,610 residents. The discrepancy is calculated from the local residency figure of 2,604, calculated by AreaSearch following the review of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with address audits since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density of 1,099 individuals per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical averages recorded across other zones monitored by AreaSearch. Local population expansion was primarily driven by arrivals from abroad, which served as the exclusive contributor to population growth in foreign migration during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic forecasts for each SA2 unit, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 sectors omitted from this database, AreaSearch applies the NSW State Government's SA2 projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline year. Growth patterns categorized by age brackets from these data sets are also utilized for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Evaluating these anticipated demographic changes, projections for this timeframe show a contraction in the overall population, with the suburb of Windang expected to lose 10 residents by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected in certain age brackets, led by the cohort aged 85 and over, which is forecast to increase by 51 individuals. Refer to the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property approvals in the suburb of Windang are extremely scarce, averaging fewer than 1 application per year, resulting in minimal dwellings over the five-year period. This negligible construction volume highlights the rural character of the locality, where building activity is generally motivated by specific local housing needs rather than widespread market demand. It is worth noting that due to the minimal sample size, solitary building projects can dramatically alter annual growth rates and comparative statistics. The suburb of Windang displays far lower levels of building construction than the Rest of NSW.
Additionally, the building rate is significantly below national benchmarks. Because the local population is projected to remain steady or contract, the suburb of Windang is likely to experience less demand for housing, which could create favorable conditions for prospective purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Lake Illawarra Entrance Options Study
A two-stage study by Wollongong City Council and Shellharbour City Council, conducted by the UNSW Water Research Laboratory, to assess long-term management options for the Lake Illawarra entrance channel. Since the lake was permanently opened in 2007, erosion along the Windang foreshore, increased tidal range, seagrass and saltmarsh impacts, and undermining of jetties and boat ramps have become significant issues. More than 50 options were assessed and narrowed to a shortlist of five. In May 2025, both councils resolved to call on the NSW Government to resource and undertake a Strategic Business Case for a long-term solution, focusing on Option 4 (low rock barriers into the channel, estimated $145-240 million) and Option 5 (return to intermittent opening, estimated $35-70 million).Short and medium-term foreshore protection works at Windang are also being investigated under the NSW Coastal Management Program.
Warilla Beach Seawall Renewal
Rebuilding a 930-meter seawall (revetment) to modern engineering standards to address coastal erosion and public safety. The project features improved beach access with a minimum of three formalised beach access points and an emergency access ramp.

Cleveland Road Upgrade - West Dapto
Staged road upgrade in West Dapto to support delivery of thousands of new homes in the urban release area. Stage 1, the widening of Fowlers Road (South) from two to four travel lanes with kerb and gutter, stormwater drainage, street lighting and a shared path, was completed in early 2026. Stages 2 and 3 will regrade and widen approximately 2.5 km of Cleveland Road west of the Fowlers Road intersection, adding travel lanes, kerbside parking, shared paths and a signalised intersection at Fowlers Road and Cleveland Road, but remain pending land acquisition.The project is co-funded by Restart NSW and Wollongong City Council, with the NSW Government contributing $20.03 million.
Warrawong Plaza Redevelopment
A 1.1 billion dollar urban renewal project transforming Warrawong Plaza into a high-density mixed-use precinct. Following the site's rezoning in 2024 via the State Assessed Planning Proposal (SAPP) pathway, the development will deliver 1,300 new dwellings across 10-12 towers reaching up to 22 storeys (75m). The masterplan includes 10 percent affordable housing, a revitalized retail center with an eStore, and a new bus interchange. The project is integrated with the broader 32-hectare Warrawong Parklands Master Plan, finalized in March 2026, which introduces a 3,000 sqm public plaza, an Olympic-standard skate park, and a 320m wetland boardwalk to Lake Illawarra.
1,016 residents of Windang are employed, from a labour force of 1,117. Unemployment sits at 9.0%, with participation at 48.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,230, 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
The suburb of Windang possesses a balanced labor force split between professional and manual occupations, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of 9.0%, and estimated job growth of 1.7% over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch compilation of regional statistics. In March 2026, 1,016 residents were employed, while the jobless rate was 4.9% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, indicating room for growth, and labor participation was notably low at 48.9% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. According to Census data, a moderate 23.0% of local workers performed their duties from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The main employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The community exhibits a strong specialization in construction, employing residents at 1.4 times the regional average rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is barely present, accounting for none of the suburb of Windang's workforce compared to 5.3% in Regional NSW. Local employment opportunities appear scarce, as shown by the comparison of Census workers to resident workers. Based on AreaSearch reviews of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regional boundaries, the 12-month timeframe saw a 1.7% rise in jobs alongside a 2.8% expansion of the labor force, resulting in a 0.9 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This contrasts with Regional NSW, where employment shrank by 0.9%, the workforce diminished by 0.4%, and the jobless rate climbed by 0.5 percentage points. National employment outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide additional context on future demand patterns in the suburb of Windang. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been matched against the local job profile to model future growth. While national jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely across sectors. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local workforce configuration suggests that local employment should rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not account for specific local 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,610 at the 2021 Census → 2,606 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.
