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
The local labour force in Kingscliff - Fingal Head is characterised by high education levels, solid representation across essential services, an unemployment rate of just 2.2%, and annual job growth estimated at 3.5%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,394, while the jobless rate tracking 1.9% below the 4.1% recorded across Regional NSW underscores tight employment conditions, even as participation of 58.6% sits slightly behind the 60.6% seen in Regional NSW. Additionally, 23.6% of local workers reported working from home during the Census, a figure shaped in part by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. Construction represents a major area of local concentration, showing a concentration 1.3 times the regional rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a modest 1.7% of local employment, compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. A comparison between Census working figures and the resident population points to a relatively small volume of jobs located directly within the boundary. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, a 3.5% lift in employment was accompanied by a 3.9% rise in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.4 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% reduction in its labour force, and a 0.5 percentage points increase in unemployment. Future labour demand can be evaluated using national industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26, mapped against the local industry baseline. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though sectoral rates vary substantially. Applied to the occupational structure of Kingscliff - Fingal Head, these projections indicate potential local employment gains of 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (noting that this weighting extrapolation is illustrative and excludes local demographic 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 — 412 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,818 at the 2021 Census → 15,575 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.
