This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Braidwood has an estimated 4,520 residents, up from 4,343 at the 2021 Census — a change of 177 people, or 4.1%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. 157 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 AreaSearch, Braidwood had a population of approximately 4,520 in May 2026. This figure shows a rise of 177 residents, representing a 4.1% increase compared to the 2021 Census count of 4,343. The adjustment combines the ABS estimate of 4,494 residents from June 2025 with 157 newly validated addresses added after the Census date. At this size, the settlement maintains a population density of 1.3 persons per square kilometer, which indicates generous living space per individual. Over the last ten years, the locality has shown steady expansion with a 1.6% compound annual growth rate, surpassing the SA4 region.
Recent population gains were largely fueled by interstate migration, accounting for roughly 67.4% of the increase, while overseas migration and natural growth also contributed positively. AreaSearch relies on ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. Where such data is unavailable, the organization applies NSW State Government projections released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Age-specific growth rates from these models are then applied across all areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the area is expected to experience above median growth typical of Australian non-metropolitan regions, reaching 2,041 with an additional 966 residents based on the latest annual ERP figures, marking a 20.8% total increase over 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
130 new dwellings have been approved in Braidwood over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 6.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Braidwood has recorded approximately 26 new dwelling approvals annually, reaching a cumulative total of 130 homes across the last 5 financial years. During the current fiscal period of FY-26, 14 approvals have been logged. Over the previous 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, an average of 1.6 residents relocated to the locality for every dwelling constructed, suggesting a balanced alignment between housing supply and demand, which supports stable market conditions while new residences are developed at an average construction cost of $365,000. In addition, commercial approvals amounting to $14.5 million have been registered this financial year, reflecting consistent commercial investment momentum.
Compared to the broader Rest of NSW region, Braidwood exhibits roughly three-quarters the building activity per resident and ranks within the 58th percentile when evaluated against all assessed areas nationwide. The composition of recent construction includes 95.0% detached houses and 5.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the locality's established low-density profile and emphasizing family-oriented homes that attract residents prioritizing space. With approximately 268 people per approval, Braidwood continues to be characterized as a low-density area. Projections indicate that Braidwood will gain 940 new residents by 2041 according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current development progress aligns reasonably with anticipated growth, although prospective buyers could encounter heightened competition as the resident population increases.

Araluen Road Slope Stabilisation
Stabilisation of multiple roadside slopes on Araluen Road and Larrys Mountain Road to prevent further landslides. The work includes installing soil nails, building retaining walls, shotcreting, and reconstructing the road. The project is being completed in two stages: reinforcement and construction.
Tarago Road Upgrade
The project involves upgrading damaged sections of Tarago Road with shoulder widening, rehabilitation, and heavy patching. It includes six sections, with five already completed. Patch number 6, the largest, is approximately 1/3 of the program and includes earthworks, road construction, and guardrail. The project aims to improve safety and driving conditions.
24 Gibraltar Street Bungendore Medical Centre
Development application DA.2025.0014 has conditional development consent for a single-storey medical centre at 24 Gibraltar Street, Bungendore. The approved scheme includes reception and waiting areas, six consulting rooms, staff, treatment and procedure rooms, toilets, a second tenancy for ancillary retail such as a pharmacy, 10 on-grade car spaces including one accessible space, signage, landscaping, earthworks and removal of about 22 trees. The former cottage on the site was demolished in July 2025 through a complying development certificate pathway, so the current consent is focused on construction of the medical centre.
Milestones Early Learning Bungendore
Completed early learning centre operated by Milestones Early Learning (Affinity Education Group), providing childcare for up to 62 children aged 0-5 years. The centre features dedicated programs for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers with indoor and outdoor learning spaces, large playground, and government-approved preschool program.

The project will divert higher flood flows through new box culverts beneath Tarago Road, re-entering Turallo Creek downstream of the Turallo and Halfway Creeks confluence. It is intended to direct floodwaters away from Bungendore town centre properties, reduce backup where the creeks join, and provide additional flood storage during major events. The REF has been determined and approved, while council lists design and REF updates as underway before open tender contractor engagement.
Bungendore Sports Hub

2,287 residents of Braidwood are employed, from a labour force of 2,342. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 61.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,063, about 90% 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
Braidwood boasts a highly capable workforce characterized by varied sector involvement, with an unemployment rate standing at just 2.3 percent. As of March 2026, 2,287 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate sits 1.8 percent below the Regional NSW rate of 4.1 percent, while workforce participation remains broadly comparable to the regional figure of 60.6 percent. Census data indicates that a moderate 22.9 percent of residents worked from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be factored into this statistic. The primary employment sectors among residents include agriculture, forestry & fishing, public administration & safety, and construction.
There is a particularly strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where employment levels reach 2.6 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance shows a limited presence, accounting for 7.9 percent of employment compared to 16.9 percent at the regional level. The area seems to provide restricted local employment opportunities, as suggested by the ratio of Census working population to resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, the 12-month period witnessed a 2.3 percent decrease in the labour force alongside a 1.3 percent decrease in employment, which led to a 1.0 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9 percent decline in employment and a 0.4 percent decline in the labour force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Braidwood. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6 percent over five years and 13.7 percent over ten years, growth rates vary considerably across different industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Braidwood's employment mix suggests that local employment should rise by 5.6 percent over five years and 11.8 percent over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 157 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,343 at the 2021 Census → 4,520 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 (101021007). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
