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
Kyogle has an estimated 7,787 residents, up from 7,611 at the 2021 Census — a change of 176 people, or 2.3%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 78% 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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Kyogle is approximately 7,787 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 176 individuals (2.3%) from the 7,611 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 7,785 alongside 56 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 3.9 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment. The 2.3% population increase since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 region (0.0%), positioning the area as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this population expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 60.2% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which utilize 2022 as their baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are applied. Age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the methodology forecasts a net population reduction of 901 persons by 2041. Conversely, growth is predicted within particular age brackets, most notably the 85 and over cohort, which is expected to rise by 123 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
86 new dwellings have been approved in Kyogle over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, broadly in line with 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
Kyogle records an annual average of approximately 17 new residential approvals, with 86 dwellings approved over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 19 approvals registered during FY-26 so far. An average of 2.5 residents relocated to the district for every new dwelling built during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, pointing to stable demand that underpins property valuations, with new constructions averaging $339,000 in value. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $7.5 million this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the locality. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, building activity per capita in Kyogle is at roughly 75%, placing it in the 44th percentile of all areas analysed nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains demand for established properties, despite a recent rise in building approvals.
This performance sits below the national average, indicating a mature market and potential planning hurdles. The composition of new residential builds stands at 86.0% detached houses and 14.0% medium and high-density dwellings, preserving the local low-density style and prioritizing family-friendly properties with ample space. The ratio of 377 people per residential approval underscores a quiet development landscape with low construction volume. As the population is projected to stabilize or decrease, Kyogle is likely to experience less pressure on its housing market, which may open up favorable conditions for purchasers.

3,173 residents of Kyogle are employed, from a labour force of 3,386. Unemployment sits at 6.3%, with participation at 52.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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
Kyogle has a skilled labour force with solid representation in essential services, showing an estimated employment growth of 3.3% over the past year alongside an unemployment rate of 6.3%. As of March 2026, there are 3,173 working residents, though the unemployment rate sits 2.2% higher than the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, and the participation rate of 52.3% remains well below the 60.6% seen across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a moderate 19.1% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and construction. The local economy is highly focused on agriculture, forestry & fishing, representing 2.6 times the employment proportion found regionally. In contrast, public administration & safety is underrepresented at 4.6% compared to the regional baseline of 7.5%. Comparing the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local job opportunities remain limited. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 3.3% and the labour force expanded by 4.0% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, leading to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This contrasts with Regional NSW, which saw a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective demand trends in Kyogle. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment expansion. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors show marked variation. Applying these national industry trends to the local workforce mix suggests Kyogle's employment could grow by 6.0% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Kyogle is 51, older than 92% of areas nationally. 16.5% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
Kyogle's median age of 51 years is higher than the Regional NSW average of 43 and the national average of 38. The 65 - 74 demographic is notably prominent at 18.2% of the local population compared to the regional average, while the 25 - 34 cohort is lower at 7.0%. The concentration of residents aged 65 - 74 sits above the national average of 9.4%. Following the 2021 Census, the 75 to 84 bracket rose from 7.1% to 8.7% of the population, and the 65 to 74 group grew from 16.9% to 18.2%.
In contrast, the 55 to 64 group fell from 18.6% to 16.0% and the 45 to 54 group decreased from 12.2% to 10.6%. Demographic forecasts for 2041 point to shifts in the age structure, led by a 57% increase in the 85+ cohort (adding 118 people to reach 326 from 207). This aging trend is evident as residents aged 65+ account for the entirety of projected growth, while both the 0 to 4 and 35 to 44 age brackets are expected to contract.

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 — 56 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,611 at the 2021 Census → 7,787 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.
