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
Coonamble has an estimated 4,104 residents, up from 3,926 at the 2021 Census — a change of 178 people, or 4.5%. 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the population of Coonamble at approximately 4,104 as of Aug 2026, representing an addition of 178 people (4.5%) relative to the 3,926 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This upward trend is established using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,097 as of June 2025 alongside 22 validated new addresses documented following the Census date. With a density ratio sitting at 0.30 persons per square kilometer, the locality provides generous physical room for its inhabitants. Expanding by 4.5% since the 2021 census, Coonamble outperformed the SA3 area (1.3%) as well as the broader SA4 region, positioning it at the forefront of regional demographic expansion.
This population increase was heavily underpinned by natural growth, which accounted for roughly 80.2% of recent overall population additions. SA2-level demographic projections released in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the base year, serve as the primary dataset for AreaSearch, while NSW State Government SA2 projections from 2022 with a 2021 base year cover any gaps. These aggregated figures also provide age-cohort growth trajectories applied locally across the 2032 to 2041 period. In terms of future demographic patterns, model outputs point to an overall population downturn, anticipating a loss of 529 persons by 2041. Even so, certain individual cohorts are projected to expand, most notably residents aged 85 and over, who are expected to gain 24 people. Further details are available in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
26 new dwellings have been approved in Coonamble over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning activity in Coonamble has maintained an average pace of roughly 5 new dwelling approvals per annum, totaling 26 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because only an average of 0.9 new residents per year were added for each newly approved home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), the influx of new housing equals or outstrips local requirement, granting buyers considerable selection and establishing capacity for demographic expansion beyond projected numbers. Construction costs for these new builds average $514,000, which sits somewhat above regional benchmarks and underscores a focus on quality builds.
Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $6.2 million this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area. Per-capita development levels in Coonamble align closely with the Rest of NSW, sustaining market equilibrium consistent with regional conditions, while falling below nationwide levels due to the locality's established profile and potential planning constraints. Approvals for new residential construction comprise 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% attached dwellings, demonstrating an expanding portfolio of medium-density formats that range from family-scale floorplans to compact, budget-conscious housing options. This shift contrasts with the standing residential baseline of 95.0% houses, signaling diminishing shovel-ready land alongside evolving lifestyle demands for attainable housing variety. An estimated ratio of 767 people per approved dwelling illustrates the tranquil, low-volume development landscape across the area. With demographic forecasts indicating stable or downward movement, Coonamble is likely to see reduced housing pressure, offering favorable conditions for purchasers.

Operations will occupy around 1,000 hectares, primarily on state land.The NSW IPC approved the project in August 2020, followed by federal environmental approval. The National Native Title Tribunal ruled in Santos' favour in May 2025 subject to 23 conditions; the Gomeroi people have lodged a further appeal with a Federal Court hearing scheduled for March 2026. The Environmental Impact Statement for the Narrabri Lateral Pipeline was publicly released in late 2025 with submissions closing December 2025. Santos has signed MOUs with ENGIE, Orica, and Narrabri Shire Council for domestic gas supply. A final investment decision is expected in 2026, subject to resolution of outstanding native title and pipeline approvals.
1,666 residents of Coonamble are employed, from a labour force of 1,740. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 56.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% 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
The local labor market in Coonamble demonstrates an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, with foundational service industries holding a solid footprint alongside an unemployment rate of 4.3%. Employment stood at 1,666 residents in work as of March 2026, with joblessness tracking 0.1% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1% and the labor force participation rate sitting moderately lower at 56.2% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census returns revealed that a moderate 14.6% of workers carried out their duties from home, though period-specific Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind.
Major industries employing local residents comprise agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The district demonstrates distinct labor specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where its workforce proportion reaches 5.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing constitutes an under-indexed sector, engaging only 1.0% of the Coonamble workforce against 5.8% across Regional NSW. A comparison between Census local working population tallies and resident counts points to relatively constrained employment availability within the immediate boundary. An examination of ABS and SALM figures by AreaSearch reveals that over the 12-month period, the local labor force shrank by 2.1% and employment dropped by 0.5%, yielding a 1.5 percentage points decrease in the unemployment rate. Over the corresponding timeframe in Regional NSW, employment contracted by 0.9%, the overall labor pool reduced by 0.4%, and joblessness increased by 0.5 percentage points. Broader national labor projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide an indicator for upcoming hiring needs in Coonamble across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, job numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Applying this sectoral distribution to the local industry base suggests Coonamble employment could expand by 5.5% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, though this modeled calculation is an illustrative extrapolation and excludes localized demographic 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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,926 at the 2021 Census → 4,104 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.
