Sales Detail
Woodford (NSW) has an estimated 1,924 residents, down from 1,953 at the 2021 Census — a change of 29 people, or 1.5%. That puts 266 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
According to investigations of ABS demographic updates covering the wider region, alongside newly validated addresses recorded by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Woodford (NSW) has a calculated population of approximately 1,924 as of May 2026. This indicates a contraction of 29 individuals (1.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 1,953 residents. This shift is deduced from a resident population count of 1,924, computed by AreaSearch utilizing the June 2025 ERP data release from the ABS and incorporating 7 confirmed new addresses registered after the Census date.
Such a population size results in a density ratio of 266 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial space for each resident and potential capacity for future growth. Population expansion in the locality was chiefly fueled by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 62.0% of all population increases in recent times. AreaSearch implements SA2 regional projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections compiled by the NSW State Government at the SA2 level in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline year are applied. Demographic growth rates sorted by age groups from these data pools are also utilized for all locations spanning the years 2032 to 2041. When examining future demographic shifts, growth within the lower quartile of national statistical regions is expected for the suburb of Woodford (NSW), with the population projected to rise by 85 individuals up to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level estimates, representing an overall expansion of 4.4% across the 16 years.

Detail
AreaSearch calculations of ABS building approval records, distributed from statistical area boundaries, show that Woodford averages around 1 residential development consent annually, accumulating to an estimated 8 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 1 consent has been logged. Because the local population has been declining, incoming residential additions have likely matched demand, providing buyers with options, with new builds averaging an estimated construction value of $409,000. Furthermore, $257,000 in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, pointing to a quiet commercial building sector. Relative to Greater Sydney, building activity in Woodford is extremely low, sitting 59.0% below the regional average on a per-capita basis.
This restricted incoming supply typically reinforces demand and pricing for existing houses. This rate also lags behind the national average, indicating a mature residential area and suggesting potential zoning limitations. Additionally, recent residential building consents consist solely of detached houses, preserving the established low density layout and highlighting family-oriented properties for buyers seeking space. An estimated ratio of 3851 people in the area for every single residential approval highlights the tranquil, slow-paced building landscape. Looking forward, the population of Woodford is projected to grow by 85 residents through to 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the volume of housing might fail to match demographic growth, which could increase competition among purchasers and encourage stronger price appreciation.

1,070 residents of Woodford (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 1,092. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 66.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,535, about 80% 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
Woodford possesses a highly qualified workforce, with strong representation in vital services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, derived from aggregated statistical area records compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 1,070 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 2.1% below the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while labor participation was slightly subdued, standing at 66.5% compared to 69.1% for Greater Sydney. Census responses indicated that a substantial 43.0% of the working population operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety. The area displays a distinct concentration in education & training, holding a workforce share that is 1.9 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 5.9% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 11.5% average for Greater Sydney. This predominantly residential zone appears to provide few local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the count of the Census working population against resident totals. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions show that the 12-month window experienced a 4.5% contraction in the labor force and a 4.2% drop in employment, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. On the other hand, Greater Sydney registered a 1.9% rise in employment and a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, resulting in a minimal reduction. National employment predictions released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective worker demand in Woodford. These five and ten-year forecasts have been combined with the local worker distribution to model future growth. While overall Australian employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across different industry divisions. Applying these sector-based predictions to Woodford's workforce configuration suggests local jobs should rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extension for demonstration purposes that excludes local population forecasts.

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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,953 at the 2021 Census → 1,924 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL14401). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
