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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, demographic analysis from AreaSearch puts the population of Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca at roughly 4,134 residents. This represents a gain of 184 people (4.7%) over the 3,950 people counted in the 2021 Census. This upward movement is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 4,124 recorded in June 2025 alongside 21 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Settlement patterns show a density of 11.4 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable space for inhabitants. With a 4.7% expansion rate since the 2021 census, the locality outperformed the wider SA3 area (4.0%), establishing itself as a regional growth frontrunner.
Natural increase served as the primary growth engine, driving roughly 46.5% of recent gains, though net overseas migration and interstate migration both registered positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia models issued in 2024 using 2022 as their starting baseline, with NSW State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2022 (using a 2021 baseline) applied where coverage is absent. Cohort-specific growth rates derived from these sources are carried forward across all districts for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to align with the lower quartile across regional Australia, with current annual ERP figures indicating a gain of 112 persons through to 2041, translating to an overall rise of 2.5% across the 16 years.

Detail
Residential building activity across Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca has yielded approximately 6 new home permits annually, totaling 30 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because the area welcomed an average of 6.2 new residents per year for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), structural demand continues to run well ahead of supply, creating elevated market competition and upward pressure on real estate values, with new residential projects carrying an average expected construction cost of $457,000.
Additionally, $447,000 in commercial approvals occurred during this financial year, underscoring the distinctly residential focus of the locality. Compared against the Rest of NSW benchmark, Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca exhibits markedly subdued construction volumes (61.0% below regional average per person). Such constrained additions to housing stock typically underpin firm demand and pricing resilience for existing real estate. Furthermore, development intensity trails national levels, highlighting market maturity and potential regulatory or geographic constraints. Building permits have consisted entirely of detached dwellings, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood fabric and catering to households pursuing spacious family accommodations. A high ratio of 2540 people per dwelling approval illustrates a tranquil, low-scale residential planning landscape. According to population projections, Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca will welcome an additional 102 residents leading up to 2041 (benchmarked from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). In light of prevailing residential construction volumes, forthcoming housing supply appears well-positioned to satisfy baseline requirements, establishing supportive market dynamics for purchasers while leaving room for potential growth beyond current baseline forecasts.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,534, about 86% 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
A highly capable local workforce underpins Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca, marked by significant employment across essential services, an unemployment rate standing at a modest 2.9%, and an estimated 1.3% growth in employment during the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents reached 1,991, with the local unemployment rate trending 1.2% lower than the 4.1% seen across Regional NSW, while overall labor participation matches closely with the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census returns indicated that 14.8% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
Health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade represent the leading sectors of employment for local residents. Construction displays exceptional local concentration, with local representation reaching 1.5 times the regional level. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 3.7% of the workforce, trailing the 5.8% registered across Regional NSW. A comparison between the Census working population and resident counts highlights relatively constrained employment capacity within the boundaries of the statistical area itself. AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures indicates that over the year to March 2026, employment expanded by 1.3% while the local labor force showed no net change, leading to a 1.2 percentage points reduction in unemployment. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced an employment drop of 0.9%, a 0.4% labor force contraction, and a 0.5 percentage points increase in joblessness. Broader perspective on future workforce trends in Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca is provided by national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. Projected industry patterns spanning five-year and ten-year horizons have been modeled against local workforce distributions; against national projections of 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations emerge. Applying these sector-specific models to the Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca job structure indicates local employment growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighted extrapolation that omits localized demographic adjustments).

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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,950 at the 2021 Census → 4,134 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (104021086). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
