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
Gilgandra has an estimated 4,426 residents, up from 4,398 at the 2021 Census. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Gilgandra is approximately 4,426 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 28 individuals (0.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,398 people. This shift is calculated using the estimated resident population of 4,426 from the ABS for June 2025 and 75 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 0.80 persons per square kilometer, ensuring plenty of space for residents. Gilgandra's 0.6% post-census growth is within 2.2 percentage points of the SA4 region (2.8%), indicating competitive growth dynamics.
The expansion was chiefly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 53.2% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. In cases where SA2 areas lack this data, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level, published in 2022 with 2021 as the base year, are used. Growth rates for different age cohorts from these datasets are applied to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, projections show a drop in the overall population, with a projected reduction of 468 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is expected in particular age groups, led by the 75 to 84 cohort, which is forecast to grow by 36 people. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
31 new dwellings have been approved in Gilgandra over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, running ahead of 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
Approximately 6 new dwellings have been approved annually in Gilgandra, totaling 31 home approvals over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 11 during the current FY-26. Because the population has decreased recently, this rate of development has been relatively sufficient, which is advantageous for buyers, with new homes constructed at an average value of $439,000—a figure slightly above regional averages—pointing to a focus on quality. Furthermore, commercial building approvals of $1.6 million have been registered this financial year, showing very low commercial development activity. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, Gilgandra displays a much lower level of development (75.0% below the regional average per capita).
This low volume of new construction generally supports demand and values for existing real estate. This level is also lower than the national figure, suggesting a mature market and potential development limitations. Moreover, all recent construction has consisted of standalone houses, preserving the traditional low-density profile of the area with family-oriented properties that appeal to those wanting space. The ratio of 810 people in the area per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-growth building environment. Since the population is projected to remain stable or fall, Gilgandra is likely to experience less pressure on its housing supply, which could open up opportunities for purchasers.

1,987 residents of Gilgandra are employed, from a labour force of 2,034. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 57.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% 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
Gilgandra features a diverse workforce distributed across white and blue-collar occupations, with a strong presence in essential services and an unemployment rate of only 2.3%. As of March 2026, 1,987 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 1.8% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is slightly low (57.2% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). Census data shows that a moderate 19.9% of residents worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns. The primary sectors of employment for local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The region exhibits a strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with its share of employment reaching 5.6 times the regional rate. In contrast, construction is underrepresented at 5.3% compared to the regional average of 9.7%. The local area appears to provide fewer employment opportunities nearby, as shown by the comparison of Census working population to resident population. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data indicates that in the year ending March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 2.2% and employment fell by 0.8%, which led to a 1.3 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Globally, in Regional NSW, employment decreased by 0.9%, the labour force shrank by 0.4%, and unemployment increased by 0.5 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Gilgandra. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary greatly by sector. Applying these sectoral projections to the employment composition in Gilgandra indicates that local jobs could rise by 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration and excludes local population 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 — 75 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,398 at the 2021 Census → 4,426 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.
