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.

Sales Detail
Broken Hill has an estimated 17,515 residents, down from 17,588 at the 2021 Census. That puts 103 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 AreaSearch's analysis, Broken Hill's population stands at approximately 17,515 as of May 2026. This figure indicates a reduction of 73 individuals, representing a 0.4% drop compared to the 2021 Census count of 17,588 residents. The adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 17,515 recorded in June 2025, supplemented by 10 newly validated addresses added after the Census date. This population level corresponds to a density of 103 persons per square kilometer, suggesting ample space per resident and opportunities for future expansion. Throughout the last ten years, Broken Hill has exhibited resilient growth trends, characterized by a -0.5% compound annual growth rate, which has exceeded the rate for the SA3 area.
Overseas migration has been the primary factor behind population increases in recent times, acting as the main source of demographic gain. AreaSearch relies on ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas lacking this data, AreaSearch applies NSW State Government projections at the SA2 level, released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Age-specific growth rates from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Future projections suggest an overall population decline, with the area expected to lose 4,148 residents by 2041 under this methodology. Despite the overall decline, certain age groups are projected to grow, particularly the 85 and over cohort, which is expected to increase by 120 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
33 new dwellings have been approved in Broken Hill over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 0.4 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 SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Broken Hill sees approximately six residential building approvals annually, totaling thirty-three approvals across the five financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with five approvals recorded to date in FY-26. The local population decline during this timeframe suggests that new housing supply has matched demand, which provides buyers with a reasonable selection while new dwellings are constructed at an average cost of $316,000. Commercial development approvals have reached $24.7 million this financial year, reflecting consistent commercial investment activity. Compared to the Rest of NSW, Broken Hill demonstrates 17.0% less building activity per person, positioning it within the 7th percentile nationally, which limits buyer options and increases interest in current properties.
This construction activity also falls below the national average, highlighting the region's established character and hinting at possible planning restrictions. All recent construction has involved detached dwellings, maintaining the locality's low density and appealing to buyers seeking more space. The ratio of 3799 people per dwelling approval underscores the area's tranquil and low activity development profile. As the population is projected to stay stable or shrink, Broken Hill may experience decreased pressure on housing, which could open up opportunities for prospective buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Silver City Energy Storage Centre
The Silver City Energy Storage Centre is a 200 MW / 1,600 MWh Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) facility being developed by Hydrostor at a disused mine site on the northeast outskirts of Broken Hill. The plant will store excess renewable electricity by compressing air into a purpose-built underground cavern, then release it through turbines during peak demand to provide more than 8 hours of long-duration storage. It will form the backbone of a Broken Hill mini-grid capable of supplying the town independently of the National Electricity Market, replacing ageing diesel generators and improving energy security across the Far West region.The project secured Crown Lands lease arrangements with the NSW Government in November 2024 (65-year lease), Development Application approval from the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure in February 2025, and a USD 55 million credit facility from Export Development Canada in September 2025, on top of AUD 45 million from ARENA. In March 2026 the NSW Land and Environment Court upheld an appeal by neighbouring tourism operator Outback Astronomy and imposed amended consent conditions covering noise and light monitoring, consultation requirements at major project stages, and a requirement that a separate lapsed mining approval at the Flying Doctor deposit be confirmed surrendered before works commence. Construction is now expected to begin around September 2026, supporting up to 750 full-time equivalent job years and approximately AUD 240 million of expenditure in the local Broken Hill community.
Broken Hill Community Health Centre
Integrated community health centre delivered as part of the Broken Hill Health Service Redevelopment. The facility includes a five-chair dental health clinic, child and family/community health services and new staff offices. Works also reconfigured parts of the main hospital's ambulatory care wing.
Broken Hill Health Service Redevelopment - MHIPU, ED Upgrade and Key Worker Accommodation
A comprehensive redevelopment of health facilities in Broken Hill, featuring a new 8-bed Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit (AMHIPU) and a $12 million Emergency Department (ED) upgrade. The ED works included a full internal refurbishment, reconfiguration for improved patient flow, and a new 24/7 dedicated entrance. The project also delivered 20 new key worker accommodation units to support staff recruitment and retention in the Far West region. Stage 3, the final phase of the ED upgrade, was officially completed in December 2025, marking the conclusion of the broader redevelopment works.
Broken Hill North Mine Project

7,396 residents of Broken Hill are employed, from a labour force of 7,629. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 52.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Broken Hill maintains a balanced workforce with both white and blue collar employment, strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 3.1%, and relative employment stability over the past year. As of March 2026, 7,396 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.1% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation lags significantly (52.7% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a low 4.7% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The key industries of employment among residents are health care & social assistance, mining, and retail trade.
The area shows particularly strong specialization in mining, with an employment share of 4.6 times the regional level. On the other hand, agriculture, forestry & fishing is under-represented, with only 1.0% of Broken Hill's workforce compared to 5.3% in Regional NSW. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, during the year to March 2026, the labour force decreased by 2.1% while employment declined by 0.3%, causing unemployment to fall by 1.7 percentage points. This compares to Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, labour force contracted by 0.4%, and unemployment rose 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Broken Hill. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Broken Hill's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Broken Hill is $1,173 a week (about $61,000 a year), with median personal income at $647 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $55,659 a year against an average of $66,175.

Detail
AreaSearch released new postcode level ATO data for financial year 2023 indicating that income in the Broken Hill SA2 sits slightly under the national average, with the median value at $55,659 and the mean value at $66,175. These figures stand in contrast to Regional NSW, which reports a median income of $52,390 and an average income of $65,215. Adjusting for Wage Price Index growth of 10.32% since financial year 2023, projected figures for March 2026 would be approximately $61,403 for the median and $73,004 for the average. Census 2021 income data indicates that household, family and personal incomes in Broken Hill all fall between the 11th and 18th percentiles nationally.
The earnings profile reveals that the predominant cohort spans 27.2% of locals (4,764 people) in the $400 - 799 category, unlike trends at regional levels where 29.9% fall within the $1,500 - 2,999 range. Although housing costs are modest with 90.0% of income retained, the total disposable income ranks at just the 18th percentile nationally.

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Broken Hill is 44. 23.6% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
Broken Hill's median age of 44 years mirrors Regional NSW's 43 while sitting above the 38-year national average. Compared to Regional NSW, Broken Hill contains a larger share of 25 - 34 year-olds (12.7%) yet fewer 45 - 54 year-olds (10.0%). From the 2021 Census onward, the 35 to 44 age bracket expanded from 10.7% to 12.0% of the total population. In contrast, the 55 to 64 group shrank from 14.6% to 12.8% and the 45 to 54 cohort fell from 11.4% to 10.0%. By 2041, Broken Hill is projected to experience significant changes in its age structure.
The 85+ group will lead this demographic transition, increasing by 25% (133 individuals) and rising from 525 to 659. Aging continues to drive population growth as all 100% of anticipated increases come from residents 65 and older. Meanwhile, both the 75 to 84 and 0 to 4 age groups are expected to decline in size.

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,588 at the 2021 Census → 17,515 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 (105021097). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
