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 Surrounds has an estimated 16,197 residents, up from 15,786 at the 2021 Census — a change of 411 people, or 2.6%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 76% of areas nationally. 144 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Density is about 13 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count across Lismore Surrounds stands at approximately 16,197 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 411 individuals (2.6%) compared to the 15,786 recorded during the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated utilizing ABS estimated resident population figures of 16,160 as of June 2025 alongside 144 validated new addresses established following the Census. The resulting settlement density is 13.1 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious living environment. With a 2.6% expansion rate since the 2021 census, Lismore Surrounds outperformed the wider SA3 area (0.1%), establishing itself as a regional growth hotspot.
The primary catalyst for demographic expansion was overseas arrivals, responsible for roughly 64.9% of total recent gains. SA2 modeling incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 using 2022 as a base year, while unlisted localities utilize NSW State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2022 against a 2021 base year. Age-specific expansion trajectories derived from these datasets extend across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. In line with prevailing demographic patterns, local expansion is set to outpace the national regional median, with forecasts indicating a rise of 2,100 persons to 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to an overall growth rate of 12.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
212 new dwellings have been approved in Lismore Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 42 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% 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 across Lismore Surrounds have tracked at roughly 42 per annum, accumulating to 212 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Solid underlying demand that helps sustain asset values is demonstrated by a ratio of 2.3 new residents per dwelling completed across the 5 financial years between FY-22 and FY-26, with construction costs averaging $414,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, non-residential activity has been subdued, with commercial building approvals recording just $2.3 million during this financial year. Per capita building figures in Lismore Surrounds align closely with the Rest of NSW benchmark, preserving local supply equilibrium even as construction volumes have moderated over recent periods.
This level falls beneath the national norm, illustrating the established nature of the market alongside possible local planning barriers. Standalone houses account for 95.0% of recent builds while townhouses or apartments constitute 5.0%, reinforcing the low-density fabric and catering to buyers seeking open space. A ratio of roughly 500 people per residential approval underscores the modest pace of local development. Long-term outlooks indicate that Lismore Surrounds will gain 2,063 additional community members by 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If current building rates persist, local supply could fall behind demographic demand, creating tighter purchasing conditions and upward pressure on prices.

8,471 residents of Lismore Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 8,831. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 65.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,503, about 83% 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
The local labour market features a highly educated workforce with strong representation across essential services, an unemployment rate of 4.1%, and an estimated job expansion of 3.0% during the previous twelve months. As of March 2026, employed locals tally 8,471, matching Regional NSW's unemployment rate of 4.1%, while local labour participation is healthy at 65.0% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records indicate that 23.7% of employed residents performed their roles from home, a metric influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The foremost industries employing local residents consist of health care & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, along with education & training.
Strong industry concentration is evident in agriculture, forestry & fishing, which commands a workforce share 2.3 times higher than regional benchmarks. Conversely, public administration & safety displays lower engagement, absorbing 4.2% of workers in Lismore Surrounds against 7.5% across Regional NSW. A comparison between the Census working population and resident counts highlights limited internal employment opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that throughout the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 3.0% while the local labor force expanded by 4.1%, generating a 0.9 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in jobs alongside a 0.4% contraction in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia industry employment projections from Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements across Lismore Surrounds. Nationwide forecasts anticipate employment expansion of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with sectoral variations factored into the local industry composition to estimate a 6.4% gain over five years and a 13.5% increase over ten years (calculated via weighted industry shares for illustrative purposes without factoring in local population modeling).

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 — 144 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,786 at the 2021 Census → 16,197 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.
