Sales Detail
Woodpark has an estimated 1,747 residents, up from 1,706 at the 2021 Census — a change of 41 people, or 2.4%. That puts 4,480 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
Drawing on ABS demographic updates for the wider region alongside newly validated addresses recorded by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Woodpark has an estimated population of approximately 1,747 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an addition of 41 people (2.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 1,706 people. Such growth is determined from a resident population baseline of 1,743 established by AreaSearch via the most recent ABS ERP release (June 2025), coupled with 4 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With 4,479 persons per square kilometer, the suburb places in the top 10% of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch for population density, reflecting substantial demand for residential land.
Over the preceding ten-year span, the suburb of Woodpark achieved steady momentum with a 1.3% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the broader state average, with overseas migration serving as the primary growth catalyst by supplying roughly 62.0% of recent population gains. Demographic projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2-level projections (benchmarked to 2021) wherever required. Projected age-cohort growth rates from these datasets are applied to model local populations between 2032 and 2041. In terms of future growth, the suburb of Woodpark is on track for population growth slightly beneath the national statistical area median, with aggregated SA2-level figures projecting a rise of 176 persons to 2041, representing a 16-year overall expansion of 9.8%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Woodpark over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 5.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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's evaluation of ABS building approval records indicates that Woodpark averages approximately 9 approved residential dwellings annually, accumulating to an estimated 47 homes across the last 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 3 approvals have been logged. The local influx averaged only 0.5 people per year for every new home constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, demonstrating that residential building activity is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, thereby providing purchasers with broader choice and creating headroom for demographic expansion. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $435,000, aligning with prevailing regional norms, alongside $383,000 in commercial building approvals throughout the current financial year, which points to subdued commercial development.
Per-capita residential construction in Woodpark runs at approximately 75% of the Greater Sydney rate, placing the area in the 29th percentile nationwide, which constrains new inventory and sustains interest in established homes. Recent dwelling approvals comprise 38.0% detached houses and 62.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density dwelling options offers accessible entry price points for downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors, while marking a clear shift away from the prevailing built environment (currently 87.0% houses) as available development land tightens. Registering roughly 498 people per approval, the suburb displays the characteristics of a mature residential community. Projections indicate that Woodpark will add 172 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. At present construction rates, the delivery of new housing is well positioned to satisfy resident demand, establishing positive conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond existing baseline projections.

690 residents of Woodpark are employed, from a labour force of 745. Unemployment sits at 7.4%, with participation at 57.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,411, about 81% 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
Woodpark features a capable workforce with pronounced representation across industrial and manufacturing trades, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 7.4% and an estimated 1.6% rise in employment over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch statistical aggregations. There are 690 residents employed as of March 2026, though the local jobless rate exceeds Greater Sydney's 4.1% by 3.3 percentage points, and labor force participation is lower at 57.5% compared to 68.9% regionally. Census records show 38.0% of local workers operated from home, a figure influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Local employment is heavily concentrated in transport, postal & warehousing, construction, and retail trade.
The workforce displays particular specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local concentration stands at 1.8 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, health care & social assistance accounts for 8.6% of local workers, well below the regional share of 14.1%. Given the divergence between Census resident worker numbers and the local working population, this predominantly residential community offers relatively few workplace opportunities within its own borders. An analysis of ABS and SALM data across broader statistical areas shows that over the 12 months to March 2026, Woodpark recorded a 1.6% rise in employment alongside a 1.2% expansion in the labor pool, reducing local unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% increase in both employment and the labor force, with a marginal decline in unemployment. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia's national forecasts from Mar-26 outline nationwide employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry-specific rates vary. Mapping these sectoral projections onto Woodpark's existing industry profile suggests local job opportunities could increase by 6.1% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model without local population adjustments).

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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,706 at the 2021 Census → 1,747 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 Aug 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 (SAL14408). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
