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
Cooma Surrounds has an estimated 3,594 residents, up from 3,472 at the 2021 Census — a change of 122 people, or 3.5%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. 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, the population of Cooma Surrounds is approximately 3,594 as of May 2026. This figure represents a gain of 122 individuals, or 3.5%, compared to the 2021 Census total of 3,472 residents. The adjustment derives from the ABS estimated resident population of 3,577 recorded in June 2025 plus 97 newly validated addresses since the census date. With a density of 0.60 persons per square kilometer, there is considerable room per inhabitant. This 3.5% post-census expansion places Cooma Surrounds within 1.0 percentage points of the SA4 region growth rate of 4.5%, indicating strong underlying growth dynamics.
Recent population gains were mainly fueled by interstate migration, accounting for roughly 58.0% of total additions, while overseas migration and natural increase also contributed positively. AreaSearch relies on ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable, AreaSearch substitutes NSW State Government projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Age-specific growth rates from these datasets are also applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, Australia's non-metropolitan areas are expected to experience above median population growth, with Cooma Surrounds projected to add 478 people by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP figures, representing a 12.8% total rise over the 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
60 new dwellings have been approved in Cooma Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 3.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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
Over the last five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, Cooma Surrounds has seen an average of 12 new dwelling approvals each year, which adds up to 60 homes. In FY-26, six approvals have been recorded so far. Each new home built during this five-year period has brought about 2.6 new residents to the region, showing strong demand that supports local property values. Homes are currently being constructed with an average value of $413,000, which is a bit higher than the regional average, hinting at a preference for higher quality builds.
There have been $3.5 million worth of commercial approvals in the current financial year, showing that commercial development is not a major focus. When compared to the Rest of NSW, Cooma Surrounds accounts for roughly 68% of building activity per person and ranks in the 54th percentile nationally. This is below the national average, reflecting the area's established character and possibly pointing to constraints in planning approvals. New construction is made up of 90.0% detached dwellings and 10.0% medium and high-density housing, which maintains the low-density character of the area and appeals to buyers looking for more space. The location has approximately 299 people per dwelling approval, which highlights the low-density nature of the market. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Cooma Surrounds is projected to gain 461 residents by 2041. Building activity is keeping pace with the expected growth, but buyers may face increasing competition as the population expands.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Cooma Solar and Battery Project
Proposed utility-scale solar and battery project at Bunyan, about 7 km north-east of Cooma. ACEN describes the project as an 80 MW renewable energy generation project with a 180 MW two-hour battery energy storage system, solar panels, electrical infrastructure, access roads and supporting facilities. NSW major project record SSD-73192208 is currently shown as withdrawn, while the federal EPBC referral 2024/10015 is shown as assessment approach determined, so the project remains in the planning and approvals phase rather than construction.

2,000 residents of Cooma Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 2,029. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 65.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,972, 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
Cooma Surrounds boasts a skilled and diverse workforce with an unemployment rate of just 1.4%. As of March 2026, 2,000 residents are employed, and the local unemployment rate sits at 2.7%, which is 2.7% lower than Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%. Workforce participation stands at 65.9%, significantly above the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate 19.0% of residents work from home, though the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be considered when interpreting this figure. The leading employment sectors include agriculture, forestry & fishing, public administration & safety, and construction.
There is particularly strong specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with an employment share 3.6 times the regional level. In contrast, health care & social assistance has a limited presence, accounting for 7.0% of employment compared to 16.9% in the broader region. The area appears to offer limited 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 saw the labour force decrease by 2.3% while employment declined by 1.7%, resulting in unemployment falling by 0.6 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% decline in employment, a 0.4% decline in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can provide further insight into potential future demand within Cooma Surrounds. These projections, which cover 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 vary significantly across industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Cooma Surrounds's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 5.4% over five years and 11.5% 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 — 97 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,472 at the 2021 Census → 3,594 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 (101031015). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
