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 by AreaSearch, the population of Evans Head stands at approximately 6,070 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 427 individuals (7.6%) from the 5,643 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The evaluation relies on the ABS estimate of 6,062 residents in June 2025 alongside 355 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The density of the area is calculated at 11.2 persons per square kilometer, which indicates a low-density living environment. The growth rate of 7.6% since the 2021 Census outpaced both the SA4 region (3.7%) and the Rest of NSW, positioning Evans Head as a leading growth zone.

This demographic expansion was primarily fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 69.5% of the total population increase, though positive contributions were also observed from natural growth and overseas migration. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these sources are extended to span the years 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point to population gains exceeding the regional national median, with the locality projected to add 860 residents by 2041 when measured against current annual ERP figures, representing a 14.0% total increase over the 16-year timeframe.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Evans Head

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

90 new dwellings have been approved in Evans Head over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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

Residential approvals in Evans Head average approximately 18 properties annually, representing a total of 90 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 17 approvals have been logged. The ratio of 5.5 additional residents per completed home between FY-21 and FY-25 highlights a market where demand outstrips new supply, a trend that typically drives up property prices and heightens buyer competition. Meanwhile, new builds carry an average construction value of $409,000, which sits slightly above the regional standard and indicates an emphasis on premium builds. Commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $7.6 million, pointing to a quiet commercial development sector.

Compared to the Rest of NSW, the volume of building activity per capita in Evans Head is roughly half, placing the area in the 46th percentile nationwide. This suggests limited purchasing choices for buyers and reinforces demand for existing properties. Construction rates also sit below the national benchmark, reflecting the established status of the suburb and potential planning constraints. Detached houses comprise 86.0% of the new builds, while attached properties make up 14.0%, maintaining the low-density character of the area with an emphasis on stand-alone homes that appeal to buyers seeking space. Developers are building detached dwellings at a higher rate than the baseline profile (71.0% at the Census), showing sustained interest in family residences despite broader densification patterns. The ratio of 372 people per dwelling approval highlights a low-volume building environment. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Evans Head is projected to add 852 residents by 2041. If construction volumes remain unchanged, the pace of housing supply is likely to fall behind this population expansion, which could heighten competition among buyers and support price growth.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,432, about 89% 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

In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment demand can be contextualized using national projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local industry profiles to project potential employment pathways. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trends vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry distribution suggests that employment among Evans Head residents could rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 355 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,643 at the 2021 Census → 6,070 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 (112011241). 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 Evans Head 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 Evans Head 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 Evans Head 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 (Aug 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.
