DemographicsPopulation Growth in Braidwood

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Braidwood has an estimated 1,762 residents, up from 1,720 at the 2021 Census — a change of 42 people, or 2.4%. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.

Detail

According to investigations of ABS demographic statistics for the surrounding region, combined with novel locations verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Braidwood has an estimated residency of approximately 1,762 individuals in May 2026. This indicates an addition of 42 people (2.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the headcount stood at 1,720 people. This adjustment is deduced from the population of 1,748, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP statistics from the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 37 validated new addresses identified after the Census.

Such a population count yields a density of 7.5 persons per square kilometer, which represents a spacious distribution. The post-census expansion of 2.4% in the suburb of Braidwood is within 2.1 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (4.5%), showing competitive expansion dynamics. Growth during recent intervals was chiefly driven by relocation from other states, which accounted for roughly 50.0% of the population gains, though alternative factors such as overseas arrivals and natural increase also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 zone. Where such figures are unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government, issued in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline, are applied. The growth rates for individual age bands derived from these sets are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic patterns, the suburb of Braidwood is anticipated to experience substantial population growth, placing it in the top quartile of regional areas nationwide. Projections suggest an increase of 396 residents up to 2041, representing a total expansion of 21.7% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Braidwood

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

33 new dwellings have been approved in Braidwood over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 3.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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

Building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area data indicate that Braidwood averages approximately 6 new residential approvals annually. This includes an estimated 33 homes approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 4 during the current FY-26. Given that only 0.8 people relocated to the area for every completed home over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, housing supply is running ahead of or matching local demand. This provides prospective buyers with diverse choices and allows for population expansion beyond baseline expectations. New properties are constructed with an average value of $432,000, which is higher than regional averages and points to a focus on quality.

Furthermore, commercial approvals have totaled $5.0 million this financial year, reflecting a modest commercial construction pipeline. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, Braidwood experiences very low residential construction, running at 51.0% below regional average per person. This limited addition of new stock generally provides upward support for the pricing and demand of existing houses. Meanwhile, new developments have consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the historical low density landscape of the locality and providing family-friendly options for buyers desiring space. The ratio of 584 people per dwelling approval highlights a quiet development sector with low construction activity. Future projections indicate that the suburb of Braidwood is set to grow by 382 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If the current pace of building continues, new housing supply may fall short of population gains, which could heighten buyer competition and stimulate price appreciation.

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 — 37 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,720 at the 2021 Census → 1,762 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 (SAL10544). 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 Braidwood 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 Braidwood 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 Braidwood 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 (May 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.
