Sales Detail
Wollstonecraft has an estimated 8,538 residents, up from 8,115 at the 2021 Census — a change of 423 people, or 5.2%. Overseas migration accounts for 69.0% of that increase. That puts 7,115 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
Wollstonecraft's population is estimated at approximately 8,538 as of May 2026, according to analysis of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region and new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch since the Census. This represents a growth of 423 people (5.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 8,115 residents. The calculation stems from an estimated resident population of 8,503 determined by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, plus an additional 13 validated new addresses since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 7,115 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Wollstonecraft in the top 10% of national locations evaluated by AreaSearch and highlights the high demand for local land.
The suburb of Wollstonecraft's post-census growth of 5.2% lags just 0.7 percentage points behind the broader SA4 region (5.9%), indicating strong growth dynamics. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for approximately 69.0% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. For regions where this data is unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government's 2022 release (with a 2021 base year) are substituted. Age group growth rates derived from these sources are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the suburb of Wollstonecraft is anticipated to experience population expansion slightly below the national median, increasing by 678 residents by 2041. This represents a total increase of 7.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
104 new dwellings have been approved in Wollstonecraft over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
An analysis of ABS building approvals allocated by AreaSearch indicates that Wollstonecraft has averaged about 20 new home approvals annually. This totals an estimated 104 dwellings approved over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), with an additional two approvals registered so far in FY-26. As the population has contracted in recent years, this new supply has likely matched demand, ensuring options for purchasers. The average expected construction cost for these new homes is $895,000, showing that developers are focusing on higher-end builds for the premium market. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $9.6 million this financial year, pointing to steady commercial development.
Wollstonecraft's construction levels are somewhat high relative to Greater Sydney, tracking 19.0% above the regional per-capita average over the 5 year period, which supports property values while offering choice to buyers. However, this rate is lower than the national average, suggesting a mature market with possible physical limits on new builds. All recent building approvals have been for apartments or townhouses, supporting high-density lifestyles that offer more affordable options for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. The local market remains low-density overall, with approximately 249 people for every dwelling approval. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Wollstonecraft is projected to add 643 residents by 2041. While current construction activity is keeping reasonable pace with this projected growth, incoming residents may face greater competition for properties as the population increases.

5,493 residents of Wollstonecraft are employed, from a labour force of 5,703. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 75.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,186, about 84% 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
Wollstonecraft is home to a highly qualified workforce, with strong representation in the technology industry, a low unemployment rate of 3.7%, and an estimated 1.5% increase in employment over the past year based on aggregated statistical area data. Jobholders numbered 5,493 as of March 2026. The local unemployment rate sits 0.4% below the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while the workforce participation rate of 75.3% is significantly higher than Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Census records show a high proportion of residents (68.3%) working from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
The local workforce is heavily concentrated in the professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance sectors. Professional & technical services show a particularly high concentration, with an employment share 2.1 times the average for Greater Sydney. In contrast, retail trade employs only 4.7% of working residents compared to 9.3% across the region. The comparison between the working population and resident population at the Census indicates that this mostly residential suburb offers few local jobs. Over the 12 months leading to March 2026, regional data from the ABS and SALM indicates that employment grew by 1.5% while the labor force expanded by 1.0%, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9% and the labor force grow by 1.9%, with a very small reduction in unemployment. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide further context for future employment demand in Wollstonecraft. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local employment mix suggests Wollstonecraft's employment numbers will grow by 7.8% over five years and 15.4% over ten years, assuming a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 13 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,115 at the 2021 Census → 8,538 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.
