Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Deniliquin Surrounds stands at approximately 7,029 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 192 individuals (2.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 6,837 people. This shift is deduced using the estimated resident population of 7,020 reported by the ABS for June 2025 alongside an additional 119 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. With these numbers, the area has a density ratio of 0.40 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a high amount of personal space.

The 2.8% population increase since the census is within 2.0 percentage points of the wider SA3 area (4.8%), indicating competitive local growth trends. The primary driver of this growth was overseas migration, which was responsible for about 52.3% of the total population gains in recent times. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch adopts the projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, which utilize 2022 as the baseline year. In cases where SA2 areas are not represented in this dataset, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 (with a 2021 baseline) are utilized instead. The age-group growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the area is projected to experience population growth slightly below the median for Australia's non-metropolitan districts. Based on the most recent annual ERP data, the population is projected to expand by 543 persons by 2041, representing an overall rise of 7.6% over the 16 years.

Detail

Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), Deniliquin Surrounds registered 108 residential approvals, representing a yearly average of approximately 21 new dwellings, with 13 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. The local housing market exhibits balanced supply and demand dynamics, with an average of 1.9 new residents arriving per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). However, this ratio has recently accelerated to 5.1 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing toward rising demand and a tightening of available supply.

The average construction cost for development projects is $465,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end, premium builds. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $6.3 million have been recorded this financial year, highlighting that the area remains predominantly residential. Deniliquin Surrounds registers approximately half the volume of new residential approvals per capita compared to the Rest of NSW, placing it in the 36th percentile of all areas evaluated across the nation. This leads to a relatively limited selection for buyers, which in turn sustains interest in the existing housing stock. This rate also sits below the national average, suggesting a mature local market and potentially pointing to planning restrictions. In addition, recent construction has consisted solely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density character of the neighborhood and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The quiet and low-activity nature of local development is highlighted by the estimate of 515 people in the area per dwelling approval. Demographic forecasts based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch indicate that Deniliquin Surrounds will add 534 residents by 2041. The current pace of residential construction appears well-aligned with these future requirements, promoting stable market conditions without generating intense price pressure.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.7% 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 Deniliquin Surrounds is evenly distributed between white and blue collar occupations across a range of industries, accompanied by a low unemployment rate of 3.1%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,807, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.0% lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Additionally, the local participation rate is exceptionally high at 67.7%, compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a moderate 24.2% of the working population worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. The local resident workforce is heavily concentrated in the fields of agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and education & training.

The region displays a strong employment specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the share of jobs is 7.6 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 9.1% of local jobs, which is lower than the 16.9% average for Regional NSW. While there are local jobs available, the ratio of the Census working population to the local population indicates that a significant number of residents travel outside the area for employment. According to the AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the labor force in the region shrank by 4.3% over the 12-month period, while employment dropped by 4.9%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Regional NSW, employment decreased by 0.9%, the labor force contracted by 0.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.5 percentage points. Future local demand trends can be analyzed using the national employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Weighting these national sector projections against the local employment profile suggests that employment in Deniliquin Surrounds could increase by 4.7% over five years and 10.8% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted extrapolation and 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 — 119 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,837 at the 2021 Census → 7,029 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 (109031183). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Deniliquin Surrounds SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Deniliquin Surrounds page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Deniliquin Surrounds data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
