Detail

Following examination of demographic updates from the ABS for the surrounding region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the resident population in the suburb of Boorooma is calculated to be approximately 1,910 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 169 residents, or 9.7%, relative to the 2021 Census when the population stood at 1,741 people. This adjustment is based on a resident count of 1,887 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of estimated resident population statistics, combined with 50 newly identified locations registered post-Census.

Such a population size results in a density of 1,273 residents per square kilometer, outperforming the typical density recorded across the country by AreaSearch. The suburb of Boorooma registered a expansion rate of 9.7% from the 2021 census, outpacing the wider SA4 territory at 2.2% and the SA3 area, positioning it as a local leader in growth.

Projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point by the ABS and Geoscience Australia are utilized for each SA2 territory, while NSW State Government projections from 2022 using 2021 as a base are applied to any remaining SA2 areas. Projected changes by age category from these data pools are also applied across all regions for the span between 2032 and 2041.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Boorooma

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

64 new dwellings have been approved in Boorooma over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, 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 building approval figures from the ABS mapped to local areas, the suburb of Boorooma averages approximately 12 residential approvals annually, with a total of 64 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 13 approvals recorded during the current FY-26 period. Because an average of 5.1 residents have moved to the area for every new dwelling built during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand is outpacing supply, which commonly elevates competition and places upward pressure on home prices. Newly built properties average $430,000 in value, which is slightly higher than the regional average and indicates a focus on premium developments.

Additionally, commercial development approvals totaling $28.7 million have been logged this financial year, pointing to solid local business spending. Relative to the Rest of NSW, new home approvals per capita in the suburb of Boorooma are 59.0% higher, offering more options to prospective purchasers despite a recent moderation in construction volume. Newly approved housing consists of 75.0% separate houses and 25.0% medium and high-density options, preserving a suburban character with spacious options for families. This is a shift from the historical housing stock which stands at 92.0% houses, showing that buildable land is becoming scarcer and reflecting a shift toward diverse and accessible options. A ratio of approximately 468 people for each approved dwelling suggests a fully developed housing market. Projections indicate the suburb of Boorooma will add 1,163 residents by 2041 from the latest quarterly figures. If current building rates do not accelerate, new housing supply may fall short of demographic growth, which will likely heighten competition among buyers and support upward price pressure.

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 — 50 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,741 at the 2021 Census → 1,910 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 (SAL10499). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Boorooma suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Boorooma page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Boorooma data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Feb 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
