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
Lismore has an estimated 13,730 residents, down from 15,229 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,499 people, or 9.8%. The population has thinned by an average 2.3% a year over five years, slower than 100% of areas nationally. That puts 217 residents on each 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the estimated resident population of Lismore stands at approximately 13,730 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 15,229 people, this represents a contraction of 1,499 people (-9.8%). This calculation incorporates the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,682 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 54 validated new addresses registered following the Census. With a population density of 216 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space alongside capacity for prospective expansion. Net population intake in recent times was largely underpinned by overseas migration, which made up around 75.9% of total demographic additions.
Projections utilised by AreaSearch draw upon ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline), supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2022 (using 2021 as baseline). For the years spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific age trajectories from these datasets have been incorporated. Under this framework, aggregate population numbers are slated to contract, shedding 1,435 persons by 2041. Despite this overall reduction, certain demographic segments are forecast to expand, most notably persons aged 85 and over, which is slated to add 60 people. Further details are outlined in the age analysis section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
110 new dwellings have been approved in Lismore over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 19% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Lismore have averaged roughly 22 residential properties annually, totaling 110 homes across the preceding 5 financial years from FY-22 to FY-26. Amid recent population contraction, this influx of housing stock has helped maintain balance with buyer requirements, offering solid purchasing options. Approved dwellings carry an average construction valuation of $503,000, which sits moderately above regional averages and underscores an orientation toward higher-end builds. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $19.1 million during this financial year, demonstrating consistent commercial sector investment. Per capita building approvals in Lismore track at roughly 61% of the Rest of NSW benchmark, placing the area in the 47th percentile across the country.
This comparatively subdued pipeline restricts purchasing alternatives and bolsters demand for existing stock, notwithstanding recent upticks in building work. Activity remains below nationwide levels, signalling both established market conditions and potential land or planning barriers. Incoming stock is divided between 19.0% detached houses and 81.0% medium and high-density housing. This pivot toward higher-density formats provides affordable price points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors alike. It diverges substantially from the prevailing residential landscape (presently 77.0% houses), reflecting tightening greenfield land reserves as well as shifting consumer preferences and affordability priorities. With approximately 325 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays a restrained development profile. Given that overall resident numbers are anticipated to hold flat or decrease, housing demand pressure across Lismore is expected to ease, potentially opening up favourable conditions for prospective purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Lismore Flood Recovery and Resilience Program
A comprehensive multi-year program rebuilding and strengthening Lismore's infrastructure following the catastrophic February-March 2022 floods. Delivered by Lismore City Council's Flood Restoration Portfolio in partnership with the NSW Reconstruction Authority and funded through the federal Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program, the program covers roads, bridges, landslips, public buildings, water systems, and flood mitigation infrastructure.
Wade Park Masterplan
Council-approved masterplan to progressively transform the 5.5-hectare Wade Park into a flood-resilient, inclusive recreation destination. Stage 1, comprising a new accessible amenities building, was completed and officially opened in August 2025. Remaining elements including the inclusive play space, sports courts, dog park, pathways, BBQ facilities and parking upgrades will be delivered progressively as grant funding is secured.
East Lismore Build-to-Rent Apartments
The project delivers around 50 build-to-rent apartments across mid-rise buildings, including at least 20 percent affordable rental housing for very low to moderate income households[cite: 1]. Developed by Landcom with builder FKG Group appointed for construction, the site provides long-term rental security in proximity to Southern Cross University and local amenities[cite: 1]. Site preparation and construction works commenced following contractor selection[cite: 1].
East Lismore Golf Course Redevelopment
Proposed redevelopment of approximately 33 hectares of the East Lismore Golf Course into a mixed-use commercial and residential precinct as part of Lismore's post-flood recovery strategy. Following community consultation, Lismore City Council resolved in late 2024 to take no further action on the design or feasibility work for commercial or residential use at this site.
Airforce Road Residential Apartment Development
Proposed residential apartment development comprising 22 units across 2 floors with 44 car spaces. The development aims to provide additional housing options in East Lismore, a suburb recovering from the 2022 flood impacts. The site is designed to include modern residential facilities with adequate parking and amenities for future residents.
East Lismore Medium Density Precincts
Strategic planning initiative identifying approximately 18 hectares of flood-free land in East Lismore, near St Vincent's Private Hospital and the Wyrallah Road shopping precinct, for future medium-density residential development. Arising from the Lismore Growth and Realignment Strategy adopted December 2022 in response to the catastrophic 2022 floods, the precinct aims to facilitate relocation of residents from high-risk flood areas, improve housing affordability and diversity, and support long-term post-disaster recovery. Climate-responsive design guidelines and updated LEP density controls are proposed.Separately, Lismore City Council and the NSW Reconstruction Authority are undertaking precinct planning for buyback land across East Lismore (and three other precincts), with non-residential community uses intended for that land; community engagement for the buyback precinct work commences mid-2026.
Northern Rivers Conservatorium Flood Resilience Upgrades
Flood resilience restoration and upgrade of the heritage-listed Northern Rivers Conservatorium in central Lismore, the largest project in the organisation's history. Works included a new roof and solar panels, installation of a goods lift, recovery and upgrade of the car park and grounds, reclamation of ground floor spaces, refurbishment of the Concert Room, and an upgraded fire system. The building was inundated by over four metres of floodwater in the 2022 disaster. Tuition continued throughout construction, and the completed building was celebrated at a 'ReStored at the Con' community open day on 14 March 2026, securing the future of the region's largest music education provider.
Mount Pleasant Estate Resilient Lands Program
NSW Reconstruction Authority masterplanned subdivision in Goonellabah delivering flood-resilient housing under the Resilient Lands Program. The finalised masterplan comprises 18 land lots (559 to 1300 sqm), 6 one and two bedroom community title units, and 4 relocated and renovated character homes, totalling 28 housing options. Four buyback homes were relocated to the site during 2024 and renovated during 2025. The sales process for lots and relocated homes officially launched in June 2026, with flood-affected buyback participants given first access.Community title units remain in design and development and are expected to complete mid to late 2027.
6,616 residents of Lismore are employed, from a labour force of 7,079. Unemployment sits at 6.5%, with participation at 62.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 17,179, about 125% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Lismore features a capable local workforce anchored by key service industries, displaying an unemployment rate of 6.5% alongside a 3.1% annual expansion in employment. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,616, with joblessness tracking 2.4% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Meanwhile, local labour force participation closely mirrors the Regional NSW level of 60.6%. Census data indicates that only 12.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure was captured during Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training.
The health care & social assistance domain is particularly prominent, employing 1.5 times the regional norm. In contrast, public administration & safety accounts for a comparatively modest 4.7% of local jobs against the 7.5% regional standard. Recording 1.0 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, Lismore operates as a net regional employment center that draws in commuting personnel from surrounding communities. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment rose by 3.1% while the labour pool expanded by 4.0%, prompting a 0.9 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in total jobs, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage points rise in unemployment. Looking ahead, national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide indicative trajectory benchmarks. When these five- and ten-year nationwide sectoral projections (6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years nationally) are weighted against Lismore's industry profile, local employment is modeled to grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.4% over ten years (noting this is an illustrative weighting model that excludes micro-level 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 — 54 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,229 at the 2021 Census → 13,730 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.
