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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Junee

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Junee has an estimated 6,362 residents. 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

Based on demographic evaluations from AreaSearch, the resident count of Junee stands at approximately 6,362 in May 2026. This represents a minor rise of 11 individuals (0.2%) from the 6,351 inhabitants documented in the 2021 Census. The calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 6,350 from June 2025 combined with 41 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 3.2 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low density environment. The 0.2% post-census expansion rate for Junee is within 2.0 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (2.2%), which highlights steady regional performance.

Recent population gains were mostly driven by overseas migration, which made up roughly 84.6% of the net growth. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as a starting point, are utilized for each SA2. For locations not detailed in that release, the 2022 projections from the NSW State Government based on 2021 numbers are applied. Growth rates across specific age brackets from these sources are projected forward from 2032 to 2041.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Junee

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

147 new dwellings have been approved in Junee over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 4.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 24 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 83% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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 29 residential building approvals have been issued annually in Junee, representing a total of 147 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 11 approvals registered. Because the population declined during the prior interval, the volume of housing remains sufficient for local demand, supporting a balanced market environment with plenty of options for buyers. Newly built homes carry an average construction value of $330,000. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $8.2 million during this financial year, suggesting a modest emphasis on non-residential construction.

Per capita building activity in Junee is consistent with the Rest of NSW, maintaining a stable market balance similar to neighboring areas. Detached houses account for 83.0% of new construction, while townhouses and apartments make up 17.0%, maintaining the spacious, low-density character of the area with a focus on separate homes for buyers seeking extra space. The ratio of 380 people for every single dwelling approval reflects a calm development climate with low construction volumes. Long-term forecasts indicate that Junee will gain 784 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Judging by current construction trends, future housing completions should comfortably accommodate this incoming demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for faster population expansion than currently anticipated.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Junee

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,600 residents of Junee are employed, from a labour force of 2,675. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 49.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.2% 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 split evenly between professional and manual occupations, with a solid base of public service positions and an unemployment rate sitting at just 2.8%. In March 2026, there were 2,600 employed residents, while the unemployment rate was 1.3% below the Regional NSW level of 4.1%. However, participation in the labour force remains low at 49.7%, compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records show that a moderate 13.8% of the working population operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions. The primary employment fields for local workers are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing.

The region shows a strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, which employs 3.1 times the proportion seen across the wider region. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a low presence, accounting for only 12.9% of local jobs compared to 16.9% across Regional NSW. Comparing the number of locally employed workers against resident workers suggests there is a shortage of local jobs within the immediate area. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 3.4% and total employment fell by 2.8%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a benchmark for future employment trends in Junee. These five-year and ten-year national growth estimates have been applied to the local industry mix to project regional trends. Although national employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies widely by sector. Weighting these projections against the industry distribution in Junee suggests local job numbers could grow by 5.2% over five years and 11.7% over ten years, though this simple extrapolation 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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,351 at the 2021 Census → 6,362 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 (113031265). 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 Junee 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 Junee 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 Junee 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 (May 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Oct 2025) 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 Jul 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.
