Sales Detail
Alstonville has an estimated 5,950 residents, up from 5,912 at the 2021 Census. That puts 207 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
Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with updated addresses verified by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Alstonville has an estimated population of 5,950 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 38 residents (0.6%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 5,912 individuals. This adjustment is derived from a resident count of 5,846, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS release of June 2025 ERP statistics, alongside an extra 69 verified new addresses since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 206 individuals per square kilometer, indicating low-density living and potential capacity for future residential expansion.
Population gains in the locality were largely stimulated by arrivals from other states, which accounted for approximately 48.0% of the total growth, though all growth elements, including international migration and natural increase, recorded positive contributions. AreaSearch is relying on projections issued in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, which use 2022 as the base year. Where this data does not apply, AreaSearch turns to SA2-level projections from the NSW State Government that were published in 2022 and anchor on 2021. Age-specific growth rates drawn from these aggregates are then used to project populations for every area through the period 2032 to 2041. Demographic forecasts suggest a substantial rise in population for the top quartile of national regional areas. The suburb of Alstonville is projected to gain 1,481 residents by 2041, bringing the total population up by 23.1% over the 16-year span, according to the combined SA2-level projections.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
74 new dwellings have been approved in Alstonville over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from regional data, the suburb of Alstonville averages approximately 14 approved homes annually. This translates to an estimated 74 residential approvals over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 11 during the current FY-26. Even with recent population declines, construction levels have remained relatively sufficient, which is advantageous for buyers, with new builds averaging an estimated construction cost of $561,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing the high-end, premium residential market. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $2.7 million have been logged in the current financial year, reinforcing the residential focus of the locality.
Compared to the Rest of NSW, building activity in the suburb of Alstonville is significantly lower, tracking at 57.0% below the regional average per capita. This lack of new inventory generally bolsters demand and valuations for pre-existing houses, despite a recent uptick in building approvals. The rate of construction is also below the national benchmark, pointing to the mature state of the market and potential regulatory limits. Recent approvals consist of 65.0% standalone houses and 35.0% multi-unit or attached designs, showing a shifting composition that yields diverse options across budget points, ranging from large family residences to compact units. The suburb of Alstonville records about 266 residents for every single residential approval, demonstrating a low-density building environment. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Alstonville is set to add 1,377 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should current construction volumes persist, the addition of new housing may fall short of matching this population growth, potentially heightening competition among prospective buyers and driving up property values.

2,573 residents of Alstonville are employed, from a labour force of 2,636. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 53.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,906, about 82% 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
Alstonville boasts a capable labor pool where essential service industries are well represented, an unemployment rate of just 2.4%, and 2.0% in estimated employment growth over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,573 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.7% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation lags significantly (53.2% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 19.0% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The primary sectors employing residents are healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The suburb of Alstonville displays a high concentration of workers in healthcare & social assistance, with its employment proportion reaching 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, public administration & safety is underrepresented, accounting for 5.5% of local employment compared to 7.5% across the region. Comparison of the Census local job numbers against the count of working residents suggests a limited pool of local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the wider statistical territory, the year ending March 2026 saw employment numbers grow by 2.0% and the active workforce expand by 2.5%, causing the unemployment rate to tick up by 0.5 percentage points. This performance differed from Regional NSW, which experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective hiring trends. These forecasts, spanning five and ten years, have been aligned with local workforce data to project local patterns. Nationally, employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, assuming a direct extrapolation that does not account for specific local 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 — 69 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,912 at the 2021 Census → 5,950 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL10046). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
