Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

With this population level, the density stands at 0.40 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment for residents. The minor 0.4% contraction in Condobolin was slightly more favorable than the overall SA3 area decline of -0.6%.

Overseas migration served as the primary driver of population growth, representing roughly 52.6% of all population increases in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as the base year, for each SA2 area. For SA2 areas where these datasets are unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are substituted. Growth trajectories across different age cohorts from these sources are likewise applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic models, the overall population is projected to contract, losing 1,024 persons by 2041. Conversely, expansion is expected within select age groups, particularly the 75 to 84 cohort, which is forecast to increase by 35 people.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Condobolin

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

50 new dwellings have been approved in Condobolin over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, running ahead of 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

Condobolin records an average of approximately 10 residential development approvals annually, with 50 dwellings approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 13 approvals documented so far in FY-26. Relative to the population contraction over this timeframe, construction volumes have been appropriate, representing a favorable scenario for buyers, while the average estimated value of new builds is $471,000, indicating a developer focus on higher-end, premium housing. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $6.9 million this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, building activity per capita in Condobolin is roughly half, placing the area in the 20th percentile of all assessed areas in Australia, which restricts options for prospective buyers and sustains demand for established properties.

This construction rate sits below the national benchmark, indicating a mature market and potential regulatory bottlenecks. Detached houses account for 78.0% of new projects, while attached designs make up 22.0%, retaining a low-density character focused on single-family properties that appeal to buyers seeking space. This configuration is a notable shift from the current housing profile, which consists of 95.0% houses, showing that developable land is becoming scarcer and that developers are adapting to shifting buyer budgets and lifestyles. The ratio of 806 people per approved dwelling underscores the quiet nature of local development. Given that demographic projections point toward stable or contracting numbers, Condobolin is anticipated to experience lighter demand pressure on its housing stock, which is advantageous for prospective buyers.

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 — 46 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,372 at the 2021 Census → 6,348 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 (103021062). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Condobolin SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Condobolin page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Condobolin data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Nov 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
