This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Boolaroo has an estimated 2,075 residents, up from 1,636 at the 2021 Census — a change of 439 people, or 26.8%. Growth has averaged 6.5% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 189 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 766 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 evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Boolaroo is estimated to be approximately 2,075 as of May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 439 people (26.8%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 1,636 people. The shift is calculated from the resident population of 2,063, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the most recent ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) along with an extra 189 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density ratio of 765 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively consistent with averages observed across places analyzed by AreaSearch. The 26.8% growth in the suburb of Boolaroo since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (3.2%), as well as the Rest of NSW, positioning it as a growth leader in the region. Population expansion for the area was chiefly fueled by interstate migration which made up roughly 62.0% of total population gains during recent times, though all indicators including overseas migration and natural growth were positive contributors. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas lacking this data, AreaSearch employs the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Factoring in the projected demographic shifts, a population increase just below the median of locations outside of capital cities is anticipated, with the suburb of Boolaroo expected to grow by 214 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a rise of 9.7% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
135 new dwellings have been approved in Boolaroo over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That places the area in the 89th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 79% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, running ahead of 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 analysis of ABS building approval figures, distributed from statistical area data, Boolaroo has recorded approximately 27 new homes approved yearly, with an estimated 135 homes approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 45 so far in FY-26. Given an average of 4.2 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is lagging demand by a wide margin, which generally indicates heightened buyer competition, resulting in pricing pressures, while new homes are being built at an average value of $608,000, showing a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
There have also been $5.4 million in commercial approvals this financial year, showing limited commercial development focus. Compared to Rest of NSW, Boolaroo registers 253.0% more development activity (per person), which should provide buyers with plenty of choices. This activity is well above average nationally, showing strong developer confidence in the area. New building activity shows 79.0% standalone homes and 21.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the area's traditional low density character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. At around 37 people per approval, Boolaroo reflects a developing area. Future projections show Boolaroo adding 202 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.

1,113 residents of Boolaroo are employed, from a labour force of 1,150. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 66.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Boolaroo features a skilled workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.2%, and 2.2% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,113 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.9% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (66.1% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 21.7% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Employment among residents is concentrated in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in health care & social assistance, with employment levels at 1.2 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing shows lower representation at none recorded versus the regional average of 5.3%. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels increased by 2.2% and labour force increased by 3.5%, resulting in unemployment rise by 1.2 percentage points. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced employment decline of 0.9% and labour force decline of 0.4%, with a 0.5 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Boolaroo. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Boolaroo's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 189 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,636 at the 2021 Census → 2,075 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.
