This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Woonona has an estimated 12,531 residents, up from 12,374 at the 2021 Census — a change of 157 people, or 1.3%. That puts 1,843 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Woonona is estimated to have a population of approximately 12,531, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS updates with post-Census address validations. This indicates an addition of 157 people (1.3%) compared to the 12,374 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds on an Estimated Resident Population of 12,518 identified from the June 2025 ABS release, alongside 65 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,842 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Woonona above the nationwide benchmark assessed by AreaSearch.
Inflow from overseas migration served as the principal, almost exclusive catalyst for recent local demographic expansion. Demographic projections utilised by AreaSearch originate from the ABS and Geoscience Australia 2024 release using 2022 as a baseline for SA2 areas, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 datasets based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific growth rates derived from these models are incorporated across all locations. Moving forward, population gains for the suburb of Woonona are projected to track just beneath the national regional median, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an increase of 891 persons to 2041, representing cumulative growth of 7.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
234 new dwellings have been approved in Woonona over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 44% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 40, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that residential construction in Woonona has proceeded at an average rate of 46 new homes approved annually, culminating in roughly 234 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 40 approvals have been documented. Because the local resident base experienced a prior contraction, the volume of incoming housing has adequately balanced buyer demand to maintain healthy market choices, with new residences registering an average expected construction cost of $670,000 as developers prioritize higher-tier projects. Concurrently, non-residential activity has been subdued, evidenced by only $1.2 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year.
Per capita residential development in Woonona tracks at approximately 57% of the pace seen across Rest of NSW, positioning the locality in the 46th percentile nationally and sustaining buyer focus on established dwellings due to tighter new supply. Recent building approvals are distributed between 44.0% detached houses and 56.0% attached dwellings. This transition toward higher-density building forms offers accessible options for downsizers, investors, and first-home purchasers. It also marks a distinct evolution from the existing built environment, which currently consists of 63.0% detached houses, underscoring both a contraction in greenfield sites and growing demand for diverse, cost-effective residential options. Overall, a density of roughly 326 people per dwelling approval characterizes an established urban footprint. According to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Woonona is anticipated to expand by 878 residents through to 2041. Anticipated construction activity appears well positioned to satisfy this projected demand, preserving favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population growth above baseline expectations.

The main rollout of 440 homes is underway (September 2025 to August 2026). In March 2026, the pilot expanded southward into Bulli (2516 postcode), with more than 100 households now participating across Austinmer, Clifton, Coledale, Scarborough, Thirroul, Wombarra, and Bulli. Research and analysis continues until September 2027.
6,402 residents of Woonona are employed, from a labour force of 6,648. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 63.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,369, about 83% 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
Woonona is characterized by a qualified local workforce with strong representation across vital services sectors, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 3.7% and recording a 2.4% yearly expansion in employment based on statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch. By March 2026, 6,402 local residents were employed, while the local jobless rate sat 0.4% below the 4.1% observed across Regional NSW. Labor force participation stood at 63.4%, compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Furthermore, 37.7% of working residents reported working remotely during the Census, an outcome that reflects the broader context of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. Notably, education & training represents a key local specialty, commanding an employment concentration 1.5 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.2% of local workers, well below the 5.3% regional average. The substantial difference between local resident worker counts and local jobs indicates that this largely residential community provides relatively few employment opportunities within its own borders. According to ABS and SALM figures aggregated by AreaSearch, the twelve months to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 2.4% while the total labor force grew by 2.7%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment and a 0.4% reduction in its labor force, alongside a 0.5 percentage point rise in joblessness. Broader industry projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 outline national employment growth expectations of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against Woonona's existing industry distribution implies potential local employment increases of 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, representing an illustrative baseline calculation independent of localized demographic 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 — 65 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,374 at the 2021 Census → 12,531 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.
