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.

Scone Surrounds has an estimated 8,428 residents, up from 8,194 at the 2021 Census — a change of 234 people, or 2.9%. 198 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 investigations by AreaSearch, Scone Surrounds has a population of approximately 8,428 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 234 individuals (2.9%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 8,194 people. The development is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 8,425 in June 2025 alongside 198 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 1.1 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial space for each resident. Scone Surrounds's 2.9% expansion since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (2.4%), making it a growth leader in the region.
Population increases in the area were mainly driven by overseas migration, which comprised about 49.4% of total population additions in recent times, though all indicators including interstate relocation and natural growth were positive. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this information, AreaSearch uses SA2 level projections from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age cohort from these groups are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Moving forward with demographic trends, a population rise slightly below the median of Australia's regional zones is anticipated, with the region projected to expand by 753 persons to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP population data, representing a total gain of 8.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
93 new dwellings have been approved in Scone Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
Scone Surrounds has seen approximately 18 homes receive development approval each year, amounting to 93 dwellings over the past 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 12 approvals have been documented. Based on a mean of 1.9 new occupants per year per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply and demand seem balanced, yielding stable market environments, although recent statistics show this has risen to 3.9 individuals per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing to rising popularity and potential undersupply. New residences are being constructed at a mean value of $396,000—somewhat above regional benchmarks—indicative of quality-oriented development.
There have also been $24.7 million in commercial approvals this financial year, showing steady commercial investment flow. In comparison to Rest of NSW, Scone Surrounds registers approximately three-quarters of the building activity per capita while ranking in the 33rd percentile of locations evaluated across the country, signifying relatively restricted buyer choices while bolstering demand for existing homes. This construction rate is similarly below the national average, showing the established status of the area and suggesting potential planning constraints. Furthermore, new building has consisted entirely of detached dwellings, preserving the traditional low density layout of the area with a focus on family houses appealing to those wanting space. The estimated ratio of 521 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights its quiet, low activity development landscape. Looking forward, Scone Surrounds is projected to expand by 750 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current building rates continue, housing supply might trail population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and supporting price rises.

4,153 residents of Scone Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 4,283. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 61.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,542, about 89% 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
Scone Surrounds has a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.0%, and 2.1% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of March 2026, 4,153 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.1% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is broadly similar to Regional NSW's 60.6%. Based on Census responses, a moderate 16.7% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Primary employment fields for residents include agriculture, forestry & fishing, mining, and health care & social assistance.
The region displays a strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with a job share 4.7 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a low presence at 8.8% employment compared to 16.9% regionally. The area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, the 12-month period saw employment increasing by 2.1% alongside labour force increasing by 1.4%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 0.6 percentage points. This compares to Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, labour force contracted by 0.4%, and unemployment rose 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Scone Surrounds. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Scone Surrounds's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 4.9% over five years and 11.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 198 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,194 at the 2021 Census → 8,428 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.
