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.

Ulladulla has an estimated 17,756 residents, up from 17,026 at the 2021 Census — a change of 730 people, or 4.3%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. 331 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 380 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 demographic evaluations from AreaSearch, the population of Ulladulla reaches approximately 17,756 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 730 people (4.3%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 17,026 people. The updated estimate synthesises ABS estimated resident population figures of 17,568 as of June 2025 alongside 331 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, local population density stands at 379 persons per square kilometer, indicating generous personal space and substantial capacity for future expansion. Outpacing both the broader SA3 district and the SA4 region (3.1%), Ulladulla's 4.3% expansion since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner.
Interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 52.8% of aggregate population additions across recent periods. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as the base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for local SA2 modeling, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Cohort-specific growth trajectories from these sources are extended across all localities from 2032 to 2041. In light of these expected demographic transitions, Ulladulla is slated for upper-quartile expansion relative to regional Australia, with projections showing a gain of 4,907 persons to 2041 when measured against current annual ERP figures, translating to a cumulative 26.6% surge across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
545 new dwellings have been approved in Ulladulla over the past five years, an average of 109 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 109 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 61% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Ulladulla have averaged roughly 109 dwellings annually, accumulating to 545 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. With inward migration averaging 1.6 people per year for every completed dwelling throughout the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local demand and new supply remain evenly balanced to sustain orderly market conditions. Approved residential projects carry an average construction value of $546,000—exceeding regional benchmarks and underlining a focus on higher-specification builds. In addition, commercial planning approvals have reached $32.6 million this financial year, highlighting robust local business investment.
Per capita residential approvals in Ulladulla track closely with the Rest of NSW benchmark, maintaining development stability in step with regional trends. Recent approvals comprise 61.0% detached houses and 39.0% townhouses or apartments, demonstrating an increasing presence of medium-density formats that diversify accommodation options across varied price points, complementing standalone family homes with accessible compact residences. This marks a clear evolution from the established dwelling stock (presently 87.0% houses), reflecting tightening land availability alongside changing lifestyle needs for varied, affordable housing. With approximately 217 people per approval, Ulladulla maintains a low density profile. According to population projections, Ulladulla is set to expand by 4,718 residents through to 2041 (benchmarked from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If residential building continues at current volumes, dwelling delivery may trail demographic growth, creating tighter market conditions that could accelerate buyer competition and bolster property values.

6,806 residents of Ulladulla are employed, from a labour force of 7,091. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 47.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 local labour market features a capable workforce with pronounced activity in hospitality and tourism, alongside a jobless rate of 4.0%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,806, matching the 4.1% jobless rate recorded across Regional NSW, though labour force participation sits well below broader trends (47.8% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Census findings show a modest 14.5% of workers operating from home, an estimate potentially shaped by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment fields for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
Specialisation is especially marked in accommodation & food, where local worker concentration is 1.7 times the regional rate. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for just 2.2% of local jobs compared with 5.3% regionally. Comparing Census figures for the local working population against resident worker numbers indicates that Ulladulla offers relatively constrained local employment capacity. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM releases reveal that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce expanded by 0.9% while total employment fell by 1.2%, driving a 2.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Conversely, Regional NSW saw employment contract by 0.9%, the labour pool shrink by 0.4%, and joblessness rise by 0.5 percentage points. Future labor dynamics can be gauged via Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26. Extrapolating these five- and ten-year national trajectories against Ulladulla's employment base provides a baseline for local industry expansion. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Applying this industry mix to the local economy indicates employment gains of 6.4% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (noting this represents an unadjusted sector weighting for illustration and excludes specific 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 — 331 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,026 at the 2021 Census → 17,756 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.
