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
Culburra Beach has an estimated 5,056 residents, down from 5,105 at the 2021 Census — a change of 49 people, or 1.0%. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. Density is about 66 people per square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of May 2026, the population of Culburra Beach stands at approximately 5,056 according to AreaSearch. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 5,105 people, this represents a minor decline of 49 people (1.0%). This shift is calculated using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 5,039 alongside 43 validated new addresses registered after the Census. With this population size, the density is 66 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future expansion. Overseas migration served as the primary catalyst, acting as the singular contributor to population increases in recent times.
For SA2 localities, AreaSearch applies the 2024 projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia using 2022 as the base year. When such details are absent, the NSW State Government's SA2 projections from 2022 with a 2021 base year are implemented. In addition, growth rates across different age cohorts from these datasets are applied to all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts point to lower quartile expansion typical of national non-metropolitan regions, with projections indicating a gain of 144 persons by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to an overall growth of 2.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
133 new dwellings have been approved in Culburra Beach over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 5.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 74% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, broadly in line with 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
Property development approvals in Culburra Beach run at an annual rate of about 26 dwellings, including 133 residential builds sanctioned over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 25 recorded to date in FY-26. Because population numbers have dropped, the incoming housing stock appears to satisfy local demand and support purchaser options. The expected construction cost of these new units averages $454,000, which highlights builder emphasis on high-end, premium developments. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $16.6 million have been documented so far this financial year, showing consistent business investment.
Per-capita construction output in Culburra Beach is roughly three-quarters of the level seen in the Rest of NSW, ranking at the 58th percentile of all analyzed locations across the country. Current development consists of 74.0% detached houses and 26.0% attached dwellings, preserving the historic low-density landscape and catering to families who want extra room. This distribution contrasts with the existing residential stock (currently 89.0% houses), pointing to less available development land and shifting buyer demands and price concerns. There are roughly 277 people for every approved dwelling, pointing to a low density housing market. Demographers expect Culburra Beach to add 127 residents by 2041 according to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests that housing supply will easily accommodate this growth, establishing advantageous dynamics for purchasers and potentially paving the way for expansion beyond initial predictions.

1,998 residents of Culburra Beach are employed, from a labour force of 2,069. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 47.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,472, about 88% 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
The local labor market features a diverse mix of professional and trade workers alongside a strong presence of essential services, with unemployment sitting at just 3.4%. There were 1,998 employed locals as of March 2026, with an unemployment rate that is 0.7% lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, although the participation rate of 47.2% is much lower than the 60.6% recorded in Regional NSW. Census data reveals that 17.2% of the workforce worked remotely, though this should be interpreted in the context of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Major job sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, construction, and accommodation & food.
Construction stands out as a key sector, employing residents at 1.4 times the rate of Regional NSW. Conversely, mining represents only 0.4% of local employment, which is under the Regional NSW average of 2.5%. Discrepancies between the Census working population and resident counts suggest that local employment options are somewhat constrained within the immediate area. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month period, the total workforce expanded by 1.0% while overall employment fell by 0.7%, resulting in a 1.6 percentage point increase in unemployment. Conversely, Regional NSW saw employment contract by 0.9%, the labor force decrease by 0.4%, and the jobless rate rise by 0.5 percentage points. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help project long-term workforce demands in Culburra Beach. When mapped to local industry structures over five- and ten-year intervals, national employment increases of 6.6% and 13.7% translate to projected local workforce gains of 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation that excludes local 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 — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,105 at the 2021 Census → 5,056 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 (114011274). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
