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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of North Nowra - Bomaderry stands at roughly 16,564 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 466 people (2.9%) compared to the 16,098 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment draws upon ABS estimated resident population figures of 16,548 as of June 2025 alongside 709 validated new addresses registered post-Census. With a population density of 166 persons per square kilometer, the district offers substantial living space alongside capacity for future residential expansion. The 2.9% local expansion rate since the census closely tracks the broader SA4 region (3.1%), differing by only 0.2 percentage points and highlighting robust demographic fundamentals.
Gains were predominantly underpinned by overseas migration, which generated around 81.5% of overall population additions in recent times, supplemented by positive inflows from interstate migration and natural growth. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries, while NSW State Government projections (released in 2022 based on 2021) serve locations not covered in that release. Age cohort growth rates derived from these series are applied across all localities spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic trajectories point to growth slightly below the regional Australian median, with the community projected to gain 1,756 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, translating to a 10.5% total increase over the 16 years.

Detail
Residential planning approvals across North Nowra - Bomaderry have averaged approximately 174 properties annually, accumulating to 873 homes across the past 5 financial years. Given that approximately 0.4 new residents per year have arrived per newly approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to housing supply are matching or outpacing local demand, providing prospective buyers with extensive options and establishing structural capacity for demographic growth beyond baseline projections.

Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $50.6 million have been documented during this financial year, underscoring strong commercial development momentum.
Building activity on a per-capita basis in North Nowra - Bomaderry is 56.0% higher than the benchmark for Rest of NSW, providing greater choice for purchasers. This construction intensity considerably surpasses national figures, demonstrating marked developer confidence in the area.

7,175 residents of North Nowra - Bomaderry are employed, from a labour force of 7,465. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 54.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,224, about 92% 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
North Nowra - Bomaderry maintains a capable workforce with strong representation across essential services and a low jobless rate of 3.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,175, while the local unemployment rate sits 0.2% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW. However, the participation rate of 54.7% trails the Regional NSW figure of 60.6% by a considerable margin. Census records show that only 12.0% of local workers operated from home, an outcome influenced by prevailing Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety.
Concentration is particularly pronounced in public administration & safety, where the area's workforce share is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.7% of local employment relative to 5.3% regionally. Comparing resident workers against the Census daytime working population indicates limited employment opportunities situated directly within the local boundaries. AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM figures shows that over the twelve months to March 2026, the local labour force expanded by 1.1% while total employment contracted by 0.8%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 1.9 percentage points. Across Regional NSW over the same period, employment fell by 0.9%, the labour pool diminished by 0.4%, and joblessness grew by 0.5 percentage points. Broader perspective on future workforce requirements in North Nowra - Bomaderry is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26. Projected industry trajectories across five and ten-year horizons have been weighted against the local occupational footprint. Nationally, employment is anticipated to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these structural trends to the North Nowra - Bomaderry industry composition suggests local workforce expansion of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (a basic weighted projection for indicative context that excludes localized population changes).

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 — 709 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,098 at the 2021 Census → 16,564 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (114011277). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
