Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Mudgee

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Mudgee has an estimated 13,012 residents, up from 12,563 at the 2021 Census — a change of 449 people, or 3.6%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. 646 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 198 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the resident count for Mudgee stands at approximately 13,012 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 449 residents (3.6%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 12,563 individuals. This trajectory is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 12,965 combined with 646 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such population numbers result in a density of 197 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living conditions and potential for future urban expansion. The 3.6% growth rate observed since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (1.8%) and the broader SA4 region, establishing Mudgee as a regional growth leader.

The primary driver of this demographic growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 42.4% of total population additions in recent times, though natural increase and interstate migration also registered positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2 region. In cases where this data is unavailable, SA2 level projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are substituted. The age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are extended to project demographic shifts from 2032 to 2041. Future expectations suggest that regional locations outside metropolitan capital cities will experience above-median growth, with this specific area anticipated to gain 2,285 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a overall rise of 17.2% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Mudgee

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

613 new dwellings have been approved in Mudgee over the past five years, an average of 122 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 118 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 72% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 78, well below 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

Approximately 122 residential development approvals are granted annually in Mudgee, totaling 613 homes over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 72 during the current FY-26 period. Because there has been an average of only 0.6 new inhabitants per constructed dwelling over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the supply of housing matches or exceeds local demand, offering buyers more options while accommodating population growth beyond initial forecasts, with new dwellings carrying an average building cost of $380,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $7.1 million during this financial year, highlighting the area's predominantly residential focus.

Mudgee registers 112.0% more new residential approvals per capita than the Rest of NSW, which ensures a diverse selection for prospective purchasers. The new construction pipeline comprises 72.0% detached houses and 28.0% attached designs, preserving the established low-density aesthetic of the area while catering to families desiring larger spaces. The ratio of approximately 81 people per approved dwelling highlights the low-density profile of the housing market. Looking forward, Mudgee is projected to add 2,238 inhabitants by 2041, relative to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction is maintained, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current demographic forecasts.

Strategic assessment and planning for reinstating the 93km non-operational Gwabegar Line between Kandos and Gulgong, passing through Mudgee, Lue and Rylstone. The line was suspended in 2007 and the project aims to reconnect the Lithgow line to the Sandy Hollow-Gulgong line to support regional freight, including coal haulage to Mount Piper Power Station. A positive feasibility result was returned in 2020 and the project is now integrated into the NSW Government's Regional Network East/West Uplift (RNEW) Program, which is developing a 10-year investment strategy for regional rail with a final strategy due in 2026.The corridor's future is contested: Mid-Western Regional Council voted in December 2025 to commission a $50,000 feasibility study into converting the 84km Rylstone-Gulgong section into a recreational rail trail, following a major community consultation. A separate council motion in February 2026 called on NSW Government ministers to restore rail services, reflecting an unresolved tension between freight reinstatement and trail conversion.

Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, employing 12.2% of the workforce compared to 16.9% across the region. Although local employment is available, the comparison between the Census working population and the local resident population indicates a significant portion of residents travel outside the area for employment. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the workforce decreased by 1.2% and total employment fell by 2.2% over the 12-month period, leading to a 1.0 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Regional NSW, employment dropped by 0.9%, the labor force fell by 0.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.5 percentage points. Future labor demand in Mudgee can be analyzed using the May-25 national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year national projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment trends. Although the national workforce is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by industry. Applying these sectoral projections to the employment composition of Mudgee indicates local jobs could grow by 5.5% over five years and 12.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for illustrative purposes that excludes local population dynamics.

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 — 646 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,563 at the 2021 Census → 13,012 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (103031072). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Mudgee SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Mudgee page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Mudgee data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (May 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jun 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Jul 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
