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.

Booragul has an estimated 1,651 residents, up from 1,623 at the 2021 Census — a change of 28 people, or 1.7%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years, slower than 81% of areas nationally. That puts 1,332 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of the latest ABS demographic revisions and post-Census residential addresses verified by AreaSearch, the suburb of Booragul has a population projected at approximately 1,651 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 28 people (1.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 1,623 residents. This trajectory is calculated from a local population of 1,650, which was computed by AreaSearch utilizing the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures alongside 1 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 1,331 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure recorded across the national database of AreaSearch.
Looking at the ten-year trend, the suburb of Booragul has shown durable expansion with an annual compound growth rate of 2.1%, ahead of the broader SA3 area. This expansion was largely fueled by arrivals from interstate, who represented roughly 85.0% of the total demographic growth in recent times. AreaSearch implements demographic projections for individual SA2 zones derived from ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 territories where these figures are unavailable, projections are sourced from NSW State Government models published in 2022 using a 2021 baseline. The age-specific growth trajectories from these datasets are projected forward for all regions from 2032 to 2041. Future models indicate that the suburb of Booragul will see substantial expansion, placing it within the highest quarter of Australian non-metropolitan locations, with expectations to add 384 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing an overall expansion of 23.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
38 new dwellings have been approved in Booragul over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, well below 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 monitoring of ABS building approvals mapped from regional statistics, the suburb of Booragul averages approximately 7 residential approvals annually, with an estimated total of 38 dwellings authorized over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 1 approvals have been documented. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the local influx averaged 2.7 people per newly built dwelling each year, pointing to steady demand that should underpin housing valuations. The average construction cost of these new properties stands at $472,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end, premium projects.
Additionally, commercial building approvals worth $29,000 were registered during the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential character of the locality. The suburb of Booragul records approximately half the per-capita residential building approvals compared to the Rest of NSW, though it ranks in the 87th percentile of all localities nationally as construction activity has quickened in recent times. All new housing starts have consisted of standalone single-family homes, preserving the established suburban environment suited for households looking for extra space. Developers are producing a higher proportion of detached houses than the historic baseline suggests (85.0% at the Census), reflecting sustained demand for family housing despite broader trends toward consolidation. The suburb of Booragul registers roughly 97 residents for every single residential approval, demonstrating a low-density property market. Demographic forecasts suggest the suburb of Booragul will add 383 citizens by 2041 compared to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. If building rates do not accelerate from their current pace, the addition of new housing could fall behind population growth, potentially heightening competition among prospective buyers and supporting upward pressure on home prices.

767 residents of Booragul are employed, from a labour force of 817. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 58.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,293, about 78% 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 suburb of Booragul has a capable workforce with a strong representation in critical public service roles and an unemployment rate of 6.1%, derived from AreaSearch's compilation of regional labour statistics. As of March 2026, there are 767 employed residents, with an unemployment rate that sits 2.0% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is below average, standing at 58.3% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a moderate 15.2% of the local workforce performed their jobs from home, although these figures may reflect pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a strong concentration in healthcare & social assistance, with the employment proportion reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agricultural, forestry, and fishing activities have no presence at all, registering a level of exactly zero employment compared to 5.3% across the wider region. The highly residential nature of the locality suggests that local employment opportunities are limited, as shown by comparing the number of working residents to the locally based jobs recorded in the Census. Based on AreaSearch's tracking of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the local labour force contracted by 1.3% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 4.0%, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 2.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective employment trends for the suburb of Booragul. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local industry mix to model potential job growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying greatly by sector. Projecting these industry-wide trends onto the local workforce structure indicates that employment for the suburb of Booragul could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not account for specific local demographic 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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,623 at the 2021 Census → 1,651 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.
