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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Wentworth - Buronga stands at approximately 6,994 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 483 individuals (7.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,511 residents. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,904 combined with 199 validated new addresses identified since the Census. The region maintains a population density of 21 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a spacious living environment. The growth rate of 7.4% since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA3 region (4.7%) and the Rest of NSW, positioning the locality as a leader in regional population expansion.
Natural increase was the primary contributor to these gains, accounting for roughly 41.6% of the growth, though net interstate and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 division. Where such data is unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Age-specific growth patterns derived from these sources are extended to cover the years 2032 through 2041. Future demographic shifts point toward growth aligned with the lowest quartile of regional Australian districts, with projections suggesting a population increase of 171 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, which equates to a 1.2% overall expansion over the 16 years.

3,409 residents of Wentworth - Buronga are employed, from a labour force of 3,638. Unemployment sits at 6.3%, with participation at 65.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,413, 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
The labor force in Wentworth - Buronga is evenly distributed between white-collar and blue-collar occupations across multiple industries, with unemployment recorded at 6.3%. As of March 2026, the employed resident population stands at 3,409, with the local unemployment rate sitting 2.2% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Labor force participation is high at 65.9%, compared to the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that only 10.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and retail trade.
The region has a high concentration of workers in agriculture, forestry & fishing, employing residents at 2.2 times the average rate seen in Regional NSW. Conversely, the health care & social assistance sector is less represented locally at 13.5% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 16.9%. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities within the immediate area are relatively limited. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month period, the local workforce contracted by 4.2% and total employment fell by 5.6%, leading to a 1.4 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9%, the labor force decline by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate rise by 0.5 percentage points. Future employment trends in Wentworth - Buronga can be analyzed using the national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been adjusted to reflect the local occupational distribution. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Weighting these national industry trends against the local employment profile suggests that employment in Wentworth - Buronga would grow by 5.8% over five years and 12.4% over ten years, assuming local trends mirror national industry averages without factoring in localized population shifts.

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 — 199 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,511 at the 2021 Census → 6,994 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.
