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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Moss Vale - Berrima is approximately 11,193 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 545 individuals (5.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 10,648 individuals. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 11,142 from June 2025 alongside 304 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density ratio of 94 persons per square kilometer, which offers substantial space per individual and opportunities for expansion. This 5.1% population growth since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (2.6%) and the SA4 region, establishing the locality as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this demographic growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 93.4% of the total population increases in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions excluded from this dataset, AreaSearch relies on the SA2-level projections from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 with 2021 as the baseline year. Age group growth rates derived from these datasets are applied to all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections indicate a substantial population rise that falls within the highest national regional quartile, with the locality projected to add 3,166 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total expansion of 27.8% over the 16 years.

Detail
The Moss Vale - Berrima region features a qualified workforce employed across diverse industries, an unemployment rate of only 1.8%, and steady job trends over the past year. In March 2026, there were 5,312 employed residents, with an unemployment rate that sits 2.3% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is slightly below the regional standard, registering at 58.3% compared to 60.6% for Regional NSW. Data from the Census indicates that a moderate 19.0% of the working population performed their jobs from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and construction. The region exhibits a distinct concentration in accommodation & food, where the employment share is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, public administration & safety is underrepresented, employing only 4.5% of the local workforce compared to 7.5% in Regional NSW. Although there are local employment options, a comparison of the Census working population against local job figures suggests that a significant number of residents travel to other areas for work. According to the AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, during the 12 months ending in March 2026, the number of employed individuals rose by 0.2% while the labor force expanded by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.8 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% decline in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Moss Vale - Berrima. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce composition to project growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these sector-specific trends to the employment distribution of Moss Vale - Berrima indicates local employment could rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and excludes localized demographic adjustments.

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 — 304 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,648 at the 2021 Census → 11,193 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.
