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
Narrandera has an estimated 5,930 residents, up from 5,905 at the 2021 Census. 415 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 population of Narrandera is approximately 5,930 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 25 residents (0.4%) compared to the 5,905 citizens recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,926 along with 415 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1.1 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment for the community. The post-census growth rate of 0.4% in Narrandera is within 1.4 percentage points of the 1.8% rate observed in the wider SA3 region, pointing to competitive local dynamics.
Population expansion in this locality has been almost entirely driven by net overseas migration during recent timeframes. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the starting year, for each SA2 region. For any SA2 regions where this dataset is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are substituted. Age-specific growth trends derived from these sources are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on this approach, the overall population is projected to contract, decreasing by 245 persons by 2041. In contrast, specific age brackets are set to expand, particularly individuals aged 85 and over, whose numbers are expected to rise by 78 people. Refer to the age profile section for additional breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
66 new dwellings have been approved in Narrandera over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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
Narrandera averages approximately 13 residential building approvals annually, with a total of 66 dwellings approved during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 16 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Because the local population has decreased recently, this pace of building has been relatively sufficient, which benefits buyers, and new homes are built at a mean cost of $346,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals valued at $9.6 million have been registered in the current financial year, indicating a steady level of commercial investment. When compared to the Rest of NSW, Narrandera registers about two-thirds of the new home approvals per capita and ranks in the 31st percentile among all analyzed locations across the country, which limits options for buyers but bolsters the demand for pre-existing houses.
This rate is also below the national average, pointing to a mature market and potential developmental barriers. New residential projects consist of 82.0% detached houses and 18.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the low-density character of the suburb with a focus on standalone homes that appeal to buyers looking for space. The ratio of 523 people per single dwelling approval highlights a quiet development landscape with low construction frequency. Since the population is projected to remain steady or contract, Narrandera is likely to experience less pressure on its housing inventory, which could open up favorable options for prospective home buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Narrandera Water Treatment Plant Upgrade
This project involves the development of a detailed business case and preliminary design for a new water treatment plant in Narrandera to address chronic water quality issues. As of April 2026, the project remains in the planning phase with a $1.82 million business case underway, slated for completion in late 2027. Recent political commitments in 2026 have pledged $16 million toward construction costs to fast-track a permanent solution. The facility will investigate a capacity of 12.9 megalitres per day, utilizing advanced treatment processes to remove iron and manganese and potentially diversifying supply by incorporating Murrumbidgee River water alongside existing groundwater bores.
Cedar Grove Estate
Multi-housing development and 38-lot community title subdivision providing new residential housing options in Narrandera. Development Application DA-045-2024-2025 was submitted by MPG Built Pty Ltd with public submissions closing on 10 July 2025. The project aims to address housing demand in this regional NSW town located on the Murrumbidgee River.
Devlins Bridge Wind Farm
Proposed 590 MW wind farm located approximately 25km west of Narrandera in southwest NSW, comprising up to 94 turbines with a maximum tip height of 290m. Once operational, the project is expected to power around 284,000 NSW homes and connect to the existing 330 kV Transgrid line between Darlington Point and Wagga Wagga. It includes an onsite substation, terminal station, internal access tracks, and an upgrade to Mundarra Road for site access from the Sturt Highway.The community benefits package totals over $25 million across the 35-year project life, including an annual community benefit fund of up to $620,000, a nearby neighbour program for dwellings within 3.5km of a turbine, and an electricity bill credit for homes within 12km of the wind farm. Construction is expected to require up to 350 workers at peak, with 20 ongoing operations roles. As of early 2026, the project is finalising its Environmental Impact Statement for submission to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure in mid-2026. A project office opened in Narrandera in February 2026. Construction is targeted to commence in late 2027, with operations expected to begin in 2029.
Yarrabee Solar Farm
State significant development SSD-9237 for a 900 MW AC utility-scale solar farm with energy storage and associated infrastructure near Morundah, south-west of Narrandera. NSW development consent was granted on 20 December 2018 and the NSW Major Projects portal still lists the project at Determination with approved status. Origin Energy acquired the project from Reach Solar Energy in 2022; Reach's project page says it secured development approvals, grid connection arrangements and a Voluntary Planning Agreement before the acquisition.The project appears approved but not yet in construction.
Sandigo Solar Farm
A 100MW solar energy project located 28km south-east of Narrandera, NSW over 230 hectares. Developed by OX2, it features 310,000 solar modules, supplying renewable energy to power approximately 35,000 households.
Yanco Battery Energy Storage System
ACEnergy's Yanco Battery Energy Storage System, near Yanco, NSW, involves a 250MW/1,100MWh BESS, underground cabling, a substation, and transmission lines. It enhances energy storage, located outside the South West Renewable Energy Zone.
Yanco Solar Farm
A proposed 60 MW (AC) solar farm on approximately 152 hectares near Yanco in the Riverina, NSW, with potential for a co-located battery energy storage system. State Significant Development consent (SSD-9515) was granted in July 2020 but lapsed in September 2025 after construction did not physically commence within the five-year approval window. Origin Energy, which acquired the project from ib vogt in August 2022, has since shifted its Yanco-area focus to the 1.5 GW Yanco Delta Wind Farm.The solar farm project would have connected to Transgrid's Yanco 132 kV substation southeast of the site.
Roxy Community Theatre Redevelopment
Heritage restoration and adaptive re-use of the heritage-listed Roxy Theatre to create a modern, fully accessible performing arts and community venue. Stage 1 has been completed and is operating, while Stage 2 is under construction and will deliver a flexible black box theatrette, function kitchen, education and gaming spaces, theatre management facilities and upgraded support areas.
2,562 residents of Narrandera are employed, from a labour force of 2,724. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 56.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 Narrandera features a balanced mix of professional and manual labor roles, with a strong presence in public and community services, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.9%. As of March 2026, there are 2,562 employed local citizens, with the unemployment rate standing 1.8% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, and the participation rate is lower than average (56.5% relative to 60.6% across Regional NSW). According to Census data, a modest 12.4% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The region shows a strong industrial concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, which employs workers at a rate 3.5 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 12.1% of local employment, which is lower than the 16.9% recorded across Regional NSW. Comparing the number of working residents to the local jobs recorded in the Census suggests that the area provides a limited pool of local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force contracted by 3.4% and total employment fell by 2.9% during the twelve months ending March 2026, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate prospective demand trends for Narrandera. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. Locally, applying these national sector-specific projections suggests employment in Narrandera could rise by 5.2% over five years and 11.6% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local population forecasts.

Detail
Based on AreaSearch's compilation of the most recent postcode ATO statistics published for the 2023 financial year, the median income of taxpayers in the Narrandera SA2 was $48,917, while the average income was $56,687. These figures are below the national benchmarks and compare to median and average levels of $52,390 and $65,215 across Regional NSW. Adjusting these figures for a Wage Price Index increase of 10.32% since the 2023 financial year yields estimated figures of approximately $53,965 for the median and $62,537 for the average as of March 2026. Data from the 2021 Census indicates that household, family, and individual incomes in Narrandera sit within the 12th to 18th percentiles across Australia.
The distribution of income shows that the largest cohort comprises 27.0% of taxpayers earning between $800 and $1,499 weekly (1,601 residents), which differs from the broader region where the $1,500 - 2,999 range is the most common at 29.9%.

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 — 415 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,905 at the 2021 Census → 5,930 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.
