Wolli Creek has an estimated 12,493 residents, up from 10,654 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,839 people, or 17.3%. Growth has averaged 4.1% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 78.0% of that increase. That puts 18,929 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 population updates for the wider region and new address verifications by AreaSearch since the Census indicates the suburb of Wolli Creek has an estimated population of 12,493 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,839 individuals (17.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,654 residents. This variation is calculated from the resident population of 12,493, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and an extra 66 validated new addresses since the Census. This population translates to a density of 18,928 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the top 10% of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch, highlighting local land as a highly coveted resource.
The 17.3% expansion of Wolli Creek since the 2021 census outperformed the SA4 region (6.5%) and the state, making it a regional growth leader. Population increases were mostly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 78.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 locations missing this information, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level are used, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline. Age group growth rates from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Continuing with demographic developments, a major population expansion in the highest quartile of Australian statistical locations is projected, with the suburb of Wolli Creek anticipated to grow by 3,803 individuals to 2041 based on compiled SA2-level projections, showing an overall increase of 30.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
301 new dwellings have been approved in Wolli Creek over the past five years, an average of 60 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
AreaSearch assessment of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas shows that Wolli Creek has averaged approximately 60 new home approvals each year, with an estimated total of 301 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 8 approvals have been logged. With an average of 7.6 individuals moving to the suburb annually for each new dwelling completed over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), supply is lagging demand considerably, which typically elevates buyer rivalry and applies upward pressure on pricing, while new residences are constructed at a mean cost of $306,000, aligning with regional trends.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $848,000 have been logged this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the locality. Compared to Greater Sydney, Wolli Creek shows equivalent per capita construction rates, helping maintain market stability in line with wider metropolitan trends, although building activity has scaled up in recent times. Additionally, all recent construction projects consist of medium and high-density dwellings. This concentration of compact housing options provides budget-friendly options and draws downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. With approximately 127 individuals for every approved dwelling, Wolli Creek displays the typical traits of a growth locality. Demographic projections indicate Wolli Creek is set to add 3,803 residents by 2041 (calculated from the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures). With current construction velocities, residential supply could struggle to satisfy population expansion, which may increase competition among purchasers and help lift values.

The development transformed the former industrial site into a vibrant retail and residential hub serving the growing Wolli Creek community.
10,001 residents of Wolli Creek are employed, from a labour force of 10,104. Unemployment sits at 1.0%, with participation at 88.5%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 8,212, about 66% 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
Wolli Creek has a highly qualified workforce, with professional services heavily represented, a jobless rate of only 1.0%, and estimated employment expansion of 3.3% over the prior year, according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 10,001 local residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 3.1% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high (88.5% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census statistics indicate that a high 50.5% of workers performed their duties from home, although Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are professional & technical, finance & insurance, and accommodation & food. The suburb is particularly specialized in professional & technical jobs, with its employment share reaching 1.5 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has low representation, employing only 8.7% of the Wolli Creek workforce compared to 14.1% across Greater Sydney. The locality seems to present minimal local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the count of Census workers against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS data compiled from wider statistical zones, employment grew by 3.3% during the 12 months ending March 2026, while the labor force expanded by 3.4%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9% and the labor force grow by 1.9%, with a slight decline in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends within Wolli Creek. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been matched against the local job profile to estimate growth trends. Though overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local employment distribution suggests Wolli Creek employment should rise by 7.0% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Wolli Creek is 32, younger than 96% of areas nationally. That is 2 years older than at the 2021 Census. 52.2% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
At 32 years, the median age in Wolli Creek is considerably younger than the Greater Sydney average of 37 and also well below the national average of 38 years. Compared to Greater Sydney, Wolli Creek has a larger share of residents aged 25 - 34 (41.6%) but fewer children aged 5 - 14 (3.5%). This high concentration of residents aged 25 - 34 is far above the national benchmark of 14.6%. Post-2021 Census data indicates a demographic shift toward an older profile, with the median age rising from 30 to 32 years.
Significant shifts show that the cohort aged 35 to 44 has grown from 18.2% to 23.4% of the population, while the group aged 45 to 54 increased from 5.6% to 7.3%. In contrast, the cohort aged 25 to 34 decreased from 46.7% to 41.6% and the group aged 15 to 24 declined from 14.4% to 10.6%. Demographic projections suggest the age distribution of Wolli Creek will shift substantially by 2041. The cohort aged 25 to 34 is expected to see the largest growth at 26%, adding 1,374 residents to reach a total of 6,572. On the other hand, the cohort aged 35 to 44 is projected to decrease by 1414 people.

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 — 66 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,654 at the 2021 Census → 12,493 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.
