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 6,099 residents, up from 5,822 at the 2021 Census — a change of 277 people, or 4.8%. 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 demographic assessments by AreaSearch, the population of Ulladulla Surrounds stands at approximately 6,099 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 277 people (4.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the local headcount was 5,822 people. This figure is derived using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 6,047 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 44 validated new addresses established post-Census. With 9.0 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains a low-density living environment with considerable physical space per resident. Outpacing both the broader SA4 region (3.1%) and the surrounding SA3 area, the 4.8% growth rate since the 2021 census establishes the district as a standout regional growth center.
This expansion has been underpinned chiefly by arrivals from interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 74.6% of recent net gains. Projections generated by the ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied across SA2 districts by AreaSearch, supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (released in 2022 using a 2021 base) wherever coverage gaps exist. Cohort-specific growth rates drawn from these datasets are extended across all territories spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, long-term demographic modelling positions the locality within the upper quartile of regional Australian growth areas, anticipating an increase of 1,529 persons through to 2041 based on current annual ERP benchmarks, equating to cumulative expansion of 24.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
150 new dwellings have been approved in Ulladulla Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% 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 authorisations in Ulladulla Surrounds have averaged roughly 30 properties annually, amounting to 150 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. A ratio of 2.7 people per year moving into the district for each dwelling completed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26) demonstrates steady residential demand capable of sustaining local property values. Construction figures indicate an average residential build cost of $595,000, pointing toward developer concentration in the higher-end market tier. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $5.8 million this financial year, pointing to relatively restrained commercial activity.
Compared against the Rest of NSW benchmark, building volumes in Ulladulla Surrounds run at roughly 75% per capita, ranking the district in the 54th percentile nationally. The breakdown of newly approved residential development consists of 97.0% detached dwellings alongside 3.0% townhouses or apartments, reinforcing the low-density neighborhood fabric tailored to buyers seeking spacious detached living. With approximately 266 people per approval, the district maintains a distinctly low-density building profile. Longer-term demographic projections indicate that Ulladulla Surrounds will welcome an additional 1,477 residents by 2041, based on recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. If current residential construction rates remain unchanged, the delivery of new housing could lag population expansion, potentially tightening housing market competition and placing upward pressure on property values.

2,383 residents of Ulladulla Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 2,454. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 46.8%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 5,345, 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 well-qualified workforce characterizes Ulladulla Surrounds, marked by substantial employment concentration in building trades, a minimal unemployment rate of 2.9%, and steady labour market conditions over the prior twelve months. Employed locals numbered 2,383 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 1.2% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%. In contrast, local participation in the labour force trails broader benchmarks significantly, standing at 46.8% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census findings show a moderate proportion of 22.1% of workers operating from home, an outcome influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.
The principal sectors providing employment for local residents comprise construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The workforce shows pronounced concentration in construction, where the local employment proportion exceeds the regional baseline by 1.7 times. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for a comparatively smaller share locally at 13.2% compared to 16.9% regionally. Comparisons between resident workers and local workplace headcounts recorded in the Census indicate that employment opportunities within the immediate area remain limited. AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, the local labour force expanded by 1.1% while total jobs fell by 0.5%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage points rise in local joblessness. Across Regional NSW over the equivalent timeframe, employment decreased by 0.9%, the overall labour pool shrank by 0.4%, and unemployment increased by 0.5 percentage points. Future workplace demand patterns can be evaluated via Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26, which model five- and ten-year trajectory paths against current local workforce compositions. Against wider expectations of 6.6% nationwide job growth across five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry-level expansion rates vary substantially. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the specific employment structure of Ulladulla Surrounds indicates projected local job increases of 6.4% across five years and 13.1% over ten years, representing a basic proportional extrapolation that does not account for 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 — 44 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,822 at the 2021 Census → 6,099 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.
