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.

Sales Detail
Windsor (NSW) has an estimated 1,915 residents. That puts 464 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 demographic evaluations from the ABS covering the broader region, alongside fresh address records verified by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Windsor (NSW) has a population projected at approximately 1,915 in May 2026. This represents a net change of no new residents (0.0%) relative to the 1,915 individuals documented during the 2021 Census. This calculation builds on an AreaSearch estimate of 1,914 residents, formulated by evaluating the ABS demographic release from June 2025 in tandem with address monitoring after the Census. The resulting density stands at 463 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density with potential scope for future expansion.
Natural increases were the primary driver of growth locally, accounting for roughly 68.0% of population additions in recent times. Projections established by the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base) are applied to each SA2 region. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, state projections from the NSW Government released in 2022 (using 2021 as a base) are substituted. Growth trajectories categorized by age bracket are extended to cover 2032 through 2041. Future expectations point to demographic expansion for the suburb of Windsor (NSW) that sits slightly below the national median, with local numbers forecast to rise by 124 people by 2041 under these combined SA2 projection models, representing a total increase of 6.4% over 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals across local boundaries shows that Windsor averages approximately 1 approved residential property per year. Over a 5-year span between FY-21 and FY-25, a total of 7 homes were approved, with an additional 2 recorded during FY-26. Because local population numbers have decreased, the supply of new housing has likely matched demand, keeping options open for buyers. Approved projects carried an average construction cost of $425,000, which is moderately above the regional standard and suggests a preference for higher-quality builds. Additionally, commercial projects valued at $518,000 were approved this financial year, pointing to very quiet commercial building activity.
Windsor registers very low building volumes relative to Greater Sydney, sitting 84.0% below the metropolitan average per capita. While construction rates have risen lately, this shortage of new housing generally bolsters the value of existing homes. Local building volume also falls below the national benchmark, highlighting the established layout of the neighborhood and potential planning constraints. Recent activity has consisted entirely of detached single-family dwellings, maintaining the classic low-density feel of the area and catering to families seeking space. This focus on standalone builds is even stronger than the 78.0% recorded at the Census, demonstrating persistent demand for traditional homes. Reflecting this quiet development pace, there are 546 people in the area for every approved dwelling. Long-term forecasts suggest Windsor will add 123 inhabitants by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, residential supply may not keep pace with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support higher home values.

974 residents of Windsor (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 1,031. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 63.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,289, about 120% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 local workforce exhibits solid skill levels, with building and construction trades particularly well represented, and an unemployment rate of 5.5% derived from regional data aggregations. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 974. The local unemployment rate sits 1.4% above the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while workforce participation is notably lower at 63.3% compared to the metropolitan average of 69.1%. Census records show that a substantial 28.1% of working residents operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions. The primary employment fields for local workers are construction, healthcare and social assistance, and retail trade.
Construction jobs are highly concentrated here, representing 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, finance and insurance fields employ only 2.2% of the local workforce, compared to 7.3% across Greater Sydney. A ratio of 0.9 workers per resident at the Census points to a strong availability of local jobs. According to evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the local labor force contracted by 4.4% over the 12-month period, while overall employment dropped by 4.0%, leading to a decrease of 0.3 percentage points in the unemployment rate. This trend diverged from Greater Sydney, which saw a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% increase in the labor force, and a marginal decline in unemployment. National employment trends published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future staffing demands. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce mix to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these models locally suggests employment for Windsor residents will increase by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighting for comparison rather than a localized population forecast.

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 (1,915 at the 2021 Census → 1,915 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.
