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
Ulladulla Surrounds has an estimated 6,095 residents, up from 5,822 at the 2021 Census — a change of 273 people, or 4.7%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. 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 population of Ulladulla Surrounds reaches approximately 6,095 by May 2026. Compared to the 5,822 residents documented in the 2021 Census, this represents a growth of 273 individuals (4.7%). This calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 6,047 recorded in June 2025 alongside 42 validated new addresses identified after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 9.0 persons per square kilometer, ensuring residents enjoy considerable space. The local growth rate of 4.7% since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA4 region (3.1%) and the SA3 area, positioning it as a frontrunner for expansion in the vicinity.
This population rise was mainly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 74.6% of the overall population growth in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, the 2022 releases from the NSW State Government based on 2021 data are used instead. Projections for specific age cohorts derived from these sources are extended to cover the years 2032 to 2041 across all sectors. Looking at future demographic shifts, a substantial increase in residents is expected for areas in the highest national quartile of regional growth, with this specific locality projected to add 1,517 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, yielding a total expansion of 24.1% over the 16 years.

Ulladulla Surrounds exhibits comparable construction rates per resident when contrasted with the Rest of NSW, indicating a balanced market in line with the wider region, even though building volumes have decreased recently. Detached dwellings make up 96.0% of recent construction while townhouses and apartments account for the remaining 4.0%, maintaining a low density profile dominated by single-family homes that appeal to buyers prioritizing space. Reflecting a low density environment, Ulladulla Surrounds averages about 199 people for each building approval. Long-term forecasts indicate that Ulladulla Surrounds will gain 1,469 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Construction volumes are progressing in alignment with these growth expectations, though prospective buyers might face increased competition as the local population expands.

2,383 residents of Ulladulla Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 2,454. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 46.9%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 5,341, about 88% 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
A high level of skill characterizes the workforce in Ulladulla Surrounds, where the construction industry stands out for its strong representation, the jobless rate sits at a low 2.9%, and employment levels have remained relatively stable over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,383, and the local unemployment rate was 1.2% lower than the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, though the participation rate of 46.9% fell well short of the 60.6% seen across Regional NSW. Data from the Census showed that a moderate 22.1% of employed locals worked from home, though these figures may reflect the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The region exhibits a strong concentration in construction, with its share of employment reaching 1.7 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, health care & social assistance is underrepresented locally at 13.2% compared to the regional average of 16.9%. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat restricted. Based on an analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the local labor force grew by 1.1% in the year ending March 2026, while employment dropped by 0.5%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 1.5 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% decline 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 provide additional context for assessing future workforce demand in Ulladulla Surrounds. These five and ten-year forecasts have been combined with local industry data to project prospective employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth trajectories vary widely by industry. Projecting these trends onto the local industry structure suggests that Ulladulla Surrounds could see local employment rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes that excludes localized 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 — 42 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,822 at the 2021 Census → 6,095 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.
