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
Cootamundra has an estimated 7,727 residents. 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 evaluations by AreaSearch, the population of Cootamundra stands at approximately 7,727 in May 2026. This represents a gain of 22 individuals (0.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 7,705 people. This shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 7,727 from June 2025 and 44 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 4.7 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious residential environment. The 0.3% increase in Cootamundra since the Census is within 1.9 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (2.2%), showing competitive growth indicators.
The population gains were driven almost exclusively by overseas migration, which served as the primary source of growth in recent times. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 areas where this dataset is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are utilized. Age group growth rates derived from these sources are applied to all regions for the period from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic patterns, regional areas nationwide are projected to experience lower quartile growth, with Cootamundra anticipated to grow by 259 individuals by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 3.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
109 new dwellings have been approved in Cootamundra over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
Cootamundra records approximately 21 new dwelling approvals annually, with a total of 109 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 14 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. With an average addition of just 0.2 new residents per built dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), construction rates are matching or running ahead of demand, expanding options for buyers and allowing for population growth to potentially outpace forecasts, with new dwellings carrying an average building cost of $293,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $7.0 million have been registered in the current financial year, highlighting that the local area is predominantly residential.
In comparison to the Rest of NSW, Cootamundra exhibits roughly two-thirds the volume of new home approvals per capita, placing it in the 18th percentile of all analyzed locations nationally, which constrains options for purchasers and sustains demand for established properties. This rate is also below the national average, indicating a mature area and suggesting potential planning limitations. Recent residential construction is composed of 93.0% standalone houses and 7.0% medium and high-density developments, preserving the low-density profile of the area with a focus on family properties that suit buyers seeking space. An estimated ratio of 815 people in the region for every single dwelling approval underscores the quiet, low-scale nature of local development. Demographic projections indicate that Cootamundra will add 259 inhabitants by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). With current construction trends, the volume of new housing should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially enabling growth that exceeds existing population forecasts.

3,000 residents of Cootamundra are employed, from a labour force of 3,104. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 47.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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
Cootamundra has a balanced labor force distributed across white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a strong representation in essential services and an unemployment rate of just 3.4%. As of March 2026, 3,000 residents are employed, and the local unemployment rate sits 0.8% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably lower (47.6% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). According to Census records, a low proportion of 10.3% of the working population performed their jobs from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are health care & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and retail trade. The local workforce shows an exceptionally high concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, employing residents at 2.5 times the regional rate. Conversely, accommodation & food services has a small footprint, accounting for 5.1% of local jobs compared to 7.8% across the region. A comparison between the Census working population and the resident population suggests that local job opportunities within the area are limited. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the labor force shrank by 3.5% and total employment fell by 2.8% over the 12-month period, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future employment trends in Cootamundra. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth rates vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure suggests Cootamundra's employment could rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (note that this calculation is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment

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 — 44 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,705 at the 2021 Census → 7,727 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.
