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 Murwillumbah Surrounds is estimated to be approximately 10,845 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 493 residents (4.8%) relative to the 10,352 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 10,835 alongside 59 newly confirmed addresses since the Census. Based on these figures, the region has a density of 11.9 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment. The growth rate of 4.8% since the 2021 census placed the district ahead of both the broader SA4 region (3.7%) and the SA3 area, establishing it as a local growth leader.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this expansion, accounting for roughly 44.1% of the total population increase, though interstate migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For SA2 areas where this dataset is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. The age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are extended to cover the period from 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the population growth for this area is expected to exceed the median rate seen in non-metropolitan Australia. Based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, the area is projected to gain 1,930 residents by 2041, representing an overall increase of 17.7% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Murwillumbah Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 25, running ahead of 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
Approvals for new residential dwellings in Murwillumbah Surrounds average approximately 13 per year, with a total of 67 home approvals recorded over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 23 approvals have been documented so far. An average of 9.3 individuals moved to the area for every new home built between FY-21 and FY-25, which points to a significant undersupply relative to demand. This imbalance typically intensifies buyer competition and drives up property prices, with new homes averaging a construction value of $390,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $19.9 million this financial year, reflecting ongoing commercial investment.
Development volume in Murwillumbah Surrounds is 58.0% lower per capita than the average for the Rest of NSW. Such limited construction activity generally supports demand and reinforces pricing for the existing housing stock. The rate is also below the national average, pointing to a mature market and potential developmental barriers. Detached houses account for 90.0% of new projects, while attached dwellings make up 10.0%, preserving the low-density profile of the area which appeals to buyers seeking family-sized properties. The quiet nature of the local construction sector is highlighted by a ratio of 1562 people per residential approval. Projections indicate that Murwillumbah Surrounds will add 1,920 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent quarterly estimates by AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new housing may fall short of population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and foster stronger appreciation in property values.

5,166 residents of Murwillumbah Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 5,432. Unemployment sits at 4.9%, with participation at 60.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,199, about 85% 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 workforce in Murwillumbah Surrounds is characterized by diverse industry representation and solid skill levels, featuring an unemployment rate of 4.9% and an estimated job growth rate of 3.0% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, the employed resident population stands at 5,166. The local unemployment rate is 0.8% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while the participation rate aligns closely with the regional figure of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate 21.0% of the working population operated from home, though these figures may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and agriculture, forestry & fishing. The region displays a strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the employment share is 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety is underrepresented, accounting for 4.6% of local jobs compared to the regional average of 7.5%. A comparison between the number of local jobs and the size of the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited. An analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch reveals that during the twelve months ending March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 3.0% and the active labor force grew by 4.1%, leading to a 1.0 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% decrease in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future labor demand in Murwillumbah Surrounds. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate future employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across different sectors. Applying these national sector trends to the Murwillumbah Surrounds profile suggests local employment could expand by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 59 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,352 at the 2021 Census → 10,845 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.
