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
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca is close to 4,132 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 182 residents (4.6%) relative to the 3,950 individuals counted during the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,124 alongside 19 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population size corresponds to a density of 11.4 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment. The area's 4.6% expansion rate outpaced the broader SA3 region's 3.7%, positioning it as a local growth leader.
The primary driver of this growth was natural increase, which accounted for roughly 46.5% of the overall population gains, with interstate migration, overseas migration and other drivers also making positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections for each SA2 region published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Demographic growth trajectories by age bracket derived from these sources are extended to cover the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected shifts, the locality is expected to align with the bottom quartile of growth for regional Australia, adding 112 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, which represents a total increase of 2.5% over the 16 years.

All new residential building has consisted of standalone houses, preserving the classic low density profile of the locality and providing spacious options for family households. The ratio of 2351 people for every residential permit highlights the quiet pace of local building development. Demographic forecasts project that Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca will add 104 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Under ongoing construction rates, the volume of housing is anticipated to satisfy demand, offering positive conditions for home purchasers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces current predictions.

1,991 residents of Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca are employed, from a labour force of 2,050. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 60.2%. 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 3,532, about 85% 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
Coramba - Nana Glen - Bucca has a skilled labor force with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.3% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,991, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.2% lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while participation in the labor force matched the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data showed that a moderate 14.8% of the working population worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The major employment sectors for local citizens are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a notable concentration in construction, where employment is 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing is less prominent, employing 3.7% of workers compared to 5.8% across the region. A comparison between the number of local jobs recorded in the Census and the total resident workforce indicates that local employment opportunities are limited. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 1.3% during the 12 months to March 2026, while the size of the labor force remained unchanged at 0.0%, leading to a 1.2 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labor force contract by 0.4%, while its unemployment rate rose by 0.5 percentage points. Employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a broader context for future labor demand. These five and ten-year national projections have been applied to the local workforce mix to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry distribution suggests employment for residents could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted projection that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,950 at the 2021 Census → 4,132 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 (104021086). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
