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.

Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong has an estimated 8,121 residents. Density is about 37 people per square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong has an estimated 8,121 inhabitants as of Aug 2026 according to research by AreaSearch. In comparison with the 2021 Census tally of 8,136 people, this represents a net reduction of 15 people (0.2%). This figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 8,121 alongside 57 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The local population density stands at 36 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious residential environment. Inward overseas migration served as the primary demographic catalyst, effectively accounting for all population additions across recent periods.
Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a base) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented where needed by the 2022 NSW State Government SA2 series based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are integrated across all locations. Looking ahead, population expansion is projected to track slightly below the national non-metropolitan median, with the local community forecast to add 849 persons to 2041 under current annual ERP figures, delivering a cumulative expansion of 10.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
194 new dwellings have been approved in Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That is 4.8 approvals per 1,000 residents.

Detail
Residential building approvals across Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong have tracked at roughly 38 new homes annually, totalling 194 homes across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because the resident population decreased recently, the delivery of new housing has matched local requirements and maintained buyer choice, with projects averaging an expected construction cost of $904,000 to highlight an emphasis on higher-end builds. Meanwhile, commercial construction activity remains modest, with $7.5 million in commercial approvals recorded during the current financial year. Per capita building activity in Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong is roughly 56% of the level observed across Rest of NSW, placing it in the 72nd percentile across Australia despite a recent acceleration in building output.
Detached houses account for 67.0% of recent approvals while 33.0% comprise attached dwellings, as an expanding pipeline of apartments and townhouses introduces diverse price tiers ranging from standard family residences to efficient, accessible dwellings. This represents a distinct shift away from the prevailing built environment (where houses make up 86.0%), driven by constrained land availability as well as evolving buyer preferences and price considerations. With approximately 196 people per approval, the area maintains a low-density character. Demographic projections indicate an expansion of 849 residents across Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong through to 2041 according to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. Prevailing rates of residential building are positioned to satisfy emerging demand comfortably, supporting favourable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion above baseline forecasts.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,034, about 87% 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
Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong is characterised by a highly skilled talent pool, substantial presence across essential service industries, a jobless rate of merely 1.9%, and an estimated 2.7% rise in jobs over the preceding twelve months. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 4,330, with unemployment sitting 2.2% under the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, alongside a typical labour participation rate of 64.0% (compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). In Census records, 32.6% of workers stated they performed their roles from home, a metric influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The education & training sector shows exceptional prominence, employing residents at 1.3 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, retail trade accounts for a smaller share locally at 6.8% of the Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong workforce, compared against 9.8% across Regional NSW. Comparing resident counts with local job numbers from the Census suggests limited employment capacity within the immediate district. Analysis performed by AreaSearch using Salm and Abs figures indicates that during the year to March 2026, employment levels rose by 2.7% while the labour force also grew by 2.7%, resulting in a stable unemployment rate. This outcome contrasts with Regional NSW, where employment dropped by 0.9%, the labour force shrank by 0.4%, and unemployment climbed by 0.5 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia regarding national employment starting in Mar-26 may provide useful information about anticipated future demand in the Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong area. These estimates span both five and ten year timeframes and have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to predict growth trends. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% across a five year span and 13.7% across a ten year span, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to the employment composition of Kiama Hinterland - Gerringong, local employment is projected to rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years. This calculation represents a straightforward weighting extrapolation intended for illustrative use only and does not incorporate localized 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 — 57 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,136 at the 2021 Census → 8,121 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 Aug 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.
