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
AreaSearch indicates that the population of Coonamble stands at approximately 4,104 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 178 people (4.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,926 residents. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 4,097 in June 2025 alongside 20 validated new addresses registered after the Census. With a density of 0.30 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers significant space for its inhabitants. The 4.5% rate of growth since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (1.3%) and the SA4 region, positioning Coonamble as a local leader in population expansion.
This upward trend was mostly propelled by natural growth, which accounted for roughly 80.2% of the total population increase during recent times. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch adopts projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the base year. In instances where these are unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are substituted. Age-specific growth trends from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at these future patterns, the overall population is expected to contract, with a projected reduction of 529 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is predicted within particular age brackets, notably those aged 85 and over, which is set to rise by 26 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
31 new dwellings have been approved in Coonamble over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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
Coonamble records approximately 6 residential building approvals annually, yielding 31 approved homes over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 3 during FY-26 to date. Given that only 0.7 new residents per year have arrived for each new dwelling over the 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the housing supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, widening choices for buyers and supporting population growth beyond current projections, while new homes average an estimated construction cost of $364,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $6.2 million have been logged in the current financial year, which underscores the area's primary residential profile.
In comparison to the Rest of NSW, development activity in Coonamble is slightly elevated, running 15.0% above the regional per-capita average over the 5 year period, which maintains options for buyers and underpins existing property demand. However, this level remains below the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential planning or environmental limits. The composition of new builds is 60.0% detached dwellings and 40.0% attached dwellings, indicating a growing shift toward attached formats that offer diverse price points ranging from large family residences to compact, affordable units. This represents a notable change from the current housing stock (where houses make up 95.0%), indicating fewer available greenfield sites and adjusting to changing lifestyle needs and pricing pressures. The ratio of 664 people in the locality for every single residential approval points to a calm, low-volume construction environment. Given that the population is projected to stabilize or shrink, Coonamble will likely experience diminished demand for housing, which could open up favorable opportunities for home buyers.

The project, 100 per cent committed to the domestic market, could supply up to half of NSW's natural gas needs at up to 200 terajoules per day over an estimated 25-year field life. 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 56.1%. 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 workforce in Coonamble is evenly distributed between white and blue collar jobs, with a solid footprint in essential services and an unemployment rate sitting at 4.3%. In March 2026, 1,666 employed residents were recorded, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.1% higher than the Regional NSW mark of 4.1%, while participation in the labor force is somewhat low (56.1% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). According to Census statistics, a modest 14.6% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods.
The primary sectors employing local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The region exhibits a distinct concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the employment ratio is 5.8 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing is minor, accounting for just 1.0% of the local workforce compared to 5.8% across Regional NSW. The relationship between the Census working population and resident population indicates that local job options are relatively scarce within the immediate area. According to analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS statistics, the labor force in the area contracted by 2.1% and employment fell by 0.5% over the 12 months ending March 2026, which led to a 1.5 percentage point drop in unemployment. By comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment and a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in Coonamble. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. While employment nationwide is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across sectors. Applying these industry projections to the local employment distribution suggests that Coonamble's employment could grow by 5.5% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 20 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (105011094). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
