Woolloomooloo has an estimated 4,084 residents, up from 3,792 at the 2021 Census — a change of 292 people, or 7.7%. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 11,038 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 from analyses of ABS population adjustments for the surrounding district, alongside fresh address records validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count for the suburb of Woolloomooloo is estimated at approximately 4,084 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 292 people (7.7%) from the 2021 Census, which registered a population of 3,792 individuals. The change is calculated from a resident base of 4,079, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS demographic update from June 2025 and 2 additional validated new addresses after the Census date. This population scale equates to a density of 11,037 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% of countrywide territories analyzed by AreaSearch, highlighting land as a highly sought-after asset.
The 7.7% expansion rate in the suburb of Woolloomooloo since the 2021 census outperformed the state average of 7.1%, positioning the locality as a growth leader regionally. Gains in the suburb of Woolloomooloo were predominantly fueled by international migration, which acted as the single source of population increases during recent periods. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 regions are not included, AreaSearch utilizes NSW State Government SA2 level projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these sources are extended to all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, a substantial population rise in the top quartile of statistical districts examined by AreaSearch is expected, with the suburb of Woolloomooloo projected to grow by 1,328 persons to 2041 based on combined SA2 projections, representing an overall gain of 32.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
28 new dwellings have been approved in Woolloomooloo over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, broadly in line with 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval figures allocated from statistical regions, Woolloomooloo has averaged about 5 new dwellings approved annually, with approximately 28 dwellings approved over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 5 during the current FY-26. Because population numbers decreased over the preceding timeframe, development pace has been relatively sufficient, which is beneficial for purchasers, with new dwellings showing a mean value of $1,870,000, indicating that developers are targeting the high-end tier with premium dwellings. In addition, commercial approvals valued at $3.1 million occurred this financial year, pointing to the residential nature of the locality.
In comparison to Greater Sydney, Woolloomooloo exhibits significantly reduced construction rates (74.0% below the regional average per person). This restricted volume of new housing typically supports demand and valuations for pre-existing stock. The rate of activity is similarly below national benchmarks, pointing to a mature market and potential development barriers. Furthermore, recent construction has consisted entirely of medium and high-density dwellings. This focus on higher-density projects offers affordable entry points and holds appeal for downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. Having approximately 4064 people per approval, Woolloomooloo presents as an established, mature location. Upcoming forecasts indicate Woolloomooloo will add 1,323 occupants by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). With current construction paces, residential supply might struggle to keep pace with population growth, which could increase buyer rivalry and support upward pressure on prices.

2,432 residents of Woolloomooloo are employed, from a labour force of 2,569. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 67.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,510, about 110% 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
Woolloomooloo boasts a highly educated workforce, where the technology sector stands out notably for its representation, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.3% and an estimated employment growth of 1.4% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,432 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.2% above Greater Sydney's 4.1%, while workforce participation remains broadly comparable to Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Census responses reveal that a substantial 60.4% of residents worked from home, though the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Local employment is heavily represented in professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and public administration & safety. The locality exhibits a strong concentration in professional & technical fields, with a share of jobs that is 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 9.0% of the local workforce, which is lower than the Greater Sydney level of 14.1%. The proportion of 0.8 workers per resident at the time of the Census points to ample local employment options. Based on AreaSearch reviews of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 1.4% while the labor force grew by 0.8%, which led to a decrease in unemployment of 0.6 percentage points. Over the same period, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a minor decline. National employment predictions from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends within Woolloomooloo. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project growth patterns. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary significantly across different sectors. Applying these industry-specific forecasts to Woolloomooloo's job distribution suggests local employment will rise by 7.4% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,792 at the 2021 Census → 4,084 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.
