Sales Detail
Bourkelands has an estimated 3,083 residents, down from 3,113 at the 2021 Census — a change of 30 people, or 1.0%. That puts 1,468 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census estimates that Bourkelands has a population of roughly 3,083 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 30 residents (1.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 3,113 individuals. This shift is calculated from the resident population of 3,075, projected by AreaSearch after examining the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with 3 validated new addresses added after the Census date. This population size results in a density of 1,468 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average benchmark across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Throughout the past decade, Bourkelands has displayed stable growth trends with a 0.9% compound annual growth rate, faster than the SA3 area. The population expansion was driven mostly by natural growth, which accounted for approximately 57.99999999999999% of total population increases in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year, are utilised. Growth rates across age categories from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, a population rise slightly under the median for regional areas nationwide is anticipated, with the locality projected to add 172 residents by 2041 according to compiled SA2-level forecasts, representing an overall rise of 5.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Bourkelands displays very limited construction volumes, averaging 3 new dwellings approved each year (amounting to 17 over the previous five years). Low volumes of development like this are typical in rural settings where housing requirements are moderate and building works are naturally restricted by local demand and the capacity of infrastructure. Note that due to the low volume of approvals, separate development projects can exert a large influence on annual growth and comparison statistics. Bourkelands naturally records far lower development volumes relative to the Rest of NSW. The rate of building activity is also significantly below national averages.
New residential construction consists of 25.0% detached dwellings and 75.0% medium and high-density housing. Emphasising denser living arrangements provides more affordable options for entering the market and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock (where houses make up 94.0%), showing a drop in available land for development and reflecting changing lifestyle preferences and the demand for more varied, affordable housing. Recording around 363 people per approval, Bourkelands represents a mature market. Looking forward, Bourkelands is projected to add 164 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should current rates of construction persist, the supply of housing might fail to match population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support stronger price rises.

1,677 residents of Bourkelands are employed, from a labour force of 1,706. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 71.7%. 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 2,281, about 74% 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
Bourkelands features a qualified workforce with a strong presence in essential services sectors and an unemployment rate of only 1.7%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 1,677 working residents, and the unemployment rate is 2.4% lower than the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is significantly elevated (71.7% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Census figures indicate that a low 9.8% of residents worked from home, though the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account. The main employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The locality shows a particularly high concentration in health care & social assistance, where employment levels are 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing has a small footprint, accounting for 1.7% of employment compared to 5.3% across the region. The residential nature of the suburb means it offers few local jobs, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, the labor force shrank by 4.0% and employment fell by 3.7% during the year ending March 2026, leading to a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labor force shrink by 0.4%, alongside a 0.5 percentage point increase. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Bourkelands. These projections, covering five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry-specific projections to the employment composition of Bourkelands indicates local employment is estimated to rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for local 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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,113 at the 2021 Census → 3,083 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 (SAL10521). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
