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
Gloucester has an estimated 5,390 residents, up from 5,310 at the 2021 Census — a change of 80 people, or 1.5%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 83% of areas nationally. 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
AreaSearch indicates that the population of Gloucester stands at approximately 5,390 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 80 people (1.5%) relative to the 2021 Census record of 5,310 people. The estimation relies on ABS figures pointing to an estimated resident population of 5,379 in June 2025 alongside 53 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Consequently, the local density stands at 1.8 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious environment for residents. This post-census growth of 1.5% is within 2.1 percentage points of the 3.6% recorded across the broader SA3 region, showing a solid local growth profile.
The main driver of this population growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 70.1% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline from the ABS and Geoscience Australia are applied by AreaSearch to each SA2. Where such data is unavailable, SA2 projections issued by the NSW State Government in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. The age bracket growth trends from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these shifting demographic profiles, the population is set to grow at a pace slightly under the national median for regional sectors, with projections indicating an increase of 365 persons by 2041 from the latest annual ERP statistics, which equates to a total rise of 6.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
99 new dwellings have been approved in Gloucester over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, well below 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
An average of roughly 19 new home approvals per year has been recorded in Gloucester, translating to 99 homes over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 12 approvals. With an average of 1.4 new residents per year arriving for each new home built over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand and supply remain well balanced to support market stability, with new properties being built at an average value of $328,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $2.2 million have been registered this financial year, pointing to a development market dominated by residential projects.
Gloucester records approximately three-quarters of the dwelling approval rate per capita seen in the Rest of NSW, ranking in the 46th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which restricts options for buyers while bolstering demand for existing housing stock. Recent building activity is composed of 94.0% detached houses and 6.0% medium and high-density homes, preserving a low-density residential profile focused on spacious homes for families. The low level of development activity is highlighted by an estimated 358 people in the area per single dwelling approval. Demographic projections indicate that Gloucester will add 354 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests housing supply will be sufficient to satisfy demand, which creates good buying opportunities and could facilitate growth that surpasses current projections.

Manning River Underbore - New Water Supply Pipeline to Wingham
Installation of a new flood-resilient water pipeline under the Manning River via directional drilling to restore permanent water supply from Bootawa Water Treatment Plant to Wingham. The project involved drilling a 750-meter path deep beneath the riverbed to replace the 1960s-era pipeline damaged during the May 2025 floods. This permanent solution ensures water security for Wingham and Taree, moving away from the emergency reverse-pumping solution used during the recovery phase.

2,249 residents of Gloucester are employed, from a labour force of 2,337. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 50.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% 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 local workforce is evenly split between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, featuring a solid base of industrial and manufacturing activities, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.8%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,249, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.3% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably low at 50.0% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a moderate 18.3% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and construction.
The local area displays a strong specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, employing residents at a share 3.2 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 13.4% of jobs locally, which is below the Regional NSW average of 16.9%. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local job opportunities are relatively scarce. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the local workforce shrank by 3.4% and total employment fell by 3.9%, which raised the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labor force shrink by 0.4%, also resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on prospective workforce demand in Gloucester. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential expansion. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral growth rates to the employment structure of Gloucester suggests local job numbers could rise by 5.5% over five years and 12.0% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted calculation for illustration 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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,310 at the 2021 Census → 5,390 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.
