Sales Detail
Broken Hill has an estimated 17,629 residents, down from 17,706 at the 2021 Census. 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS population updates across the surrounding region and 15 validated new addresses identified since the Census, the suburb of Broken Hill has an estimated population of approximately 17,629 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 77 people (0.4%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 17,706 people. The updated figure reflects analysis of the June 2025 ABS ERP release alongside post-Census address additions. The local population density stands at 1.4 persons per square kilometer, offering residents substantial space. Over the previous ten years, the suburb of Broken Hill registered a compound annual growth rate of -0.5%, outperforming the wider SA3 area, with overseas migration serving as practically the exclusive source of inbound population gains in recent times.
Projections for the suburb of Broken Hill draw on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures using 2022 as a base, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government 2022 releases based on 2021, with age cohort trajectories applied from 2032 to 2041. Under this modeling, the suburb of Broken Hill is forecast to experience an overall population reduction of 4,150 persons by 2041. In contrast to this broader downward trajectory, the cohort aged 85 and over is projected to grow by 124 people. Further details can be found in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
33 new dwellings have been approved in Broken Hill over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 0.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, 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
An evaluation of ABS building approval records by AreaSearch indicates that residential construction in Broken Hill has averaged approximately 6 new dwelling approvals per year, totaling 33 homes across the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, including 7 so far in FY-25. Amid population declines in recent periods, supply has aligned well with demand to afford buyers adequate selection. New residential builds carry an expected average construction cost of $550,000, which sits slightly above the regional standard and reflects an emphasis on premium builds. Additionally, commercial development has seen $24.7 million in approvals during this financial year, pointing to steady non-residential building activity.
Per capita residential building volumes in Broken Hill represent roughly three-quarters of the level seen across Rest of NSW, placing the locality in the 9th percentile across Australia. This relatively low construction activity limits new choices for buyers and sustains demand for established properties, despite a recent uptick in building approvals. Current activity trails national benchmarks, underscoring the established urban footprint and possible planning restrictions. Recent residential building approvals have been entirely composed of standalone houses, preserving low-density neighbourhoods tailored to families seeking generous living space. A ratio of 2075 people per approved dwelling highlights the quiet, subdued development environment. Given expectations of a stable or contracting local population, residential construction demand and housing pressures in Broken Hill are likely to ease, potentially offering favourable conditions for prospective purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Silver City Energy Storage Centre
The Silver City Energy Storage Centre is a 200 MW / 1,600 MWh Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) facility being developed by Hydrostor at a disused mine site on the northeast outskirts of Broken Hill. The plant will store excess renewable electricity by compressing air into a purpose-built underground cavern, then release it through turbines during peak demand to provide more than 8 hours of long-duration storage. It will form the backbone of a Broken Hill mini-grid capable of supplying the town independently of the National Electricity Market, replacing ageing diesel generators and improving energy security across the Far West region.The project secured Crown Lands lease arrangements with the NSW Government in November 2024 (65-year lease), Development Application approval from the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure in February 2025, and a USD 55 million credit facility from Export Development Canada in September 2025, on top of AUD 45 million from ARENA. In March 2026 the NSW Land and Environment Court upheld an appeal by neighbouring tourism operator Outback Astronomy and imposed amended consent conditions covering noise and light monitoring, consultation requirements at major project stages, and a requirement that a separate lapsed mining approval at the Flying Doctor deposit be confirmed surrendered before works commence. Construction is now expected to begin around September 2026, supporting up to 750 full-time equivalent job years and approximately AUD 240 million of expenditure in the local Broken Hill community.
Broken Hill Community Health Centre
Integrated community health centre delivered as part of the Broken Hill Health Service Redevelopment. The facility includes a five-chair dental health clinic, child and family/community health services and new staff offices. Works also reconfigured parts of the main hospital's ambulatory care wing.

Broken Hill Solar Plant
53MW solar photovoltaic power plant generating approximately 126,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually. Located on 140 hectares adjacent to Willyama Common. Developed by AGL Energy and now operated by Tilt Renewables since 2024. Jointly funded by ARENA and NSW Government.
7,465 residents of Broken Hill are employed, from a labour force of 7,698. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 52.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Broken Hill maintains a diversified workforce across white-collar and blue-collar occupations, underpinned by a prominent essential services footprint, an unemployment rate of just 3.0%, and stable employment conditions over the preceding year according to AreaSearch's regional analysis. As of March 2026, 7,465 residents are employed, and the jobless rate sits 1.1% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW. However, workforce engagement remains subdued, with a participation rate of 52.8% versus 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census findings showed that 5.2% of workers operated from home, though pandemic lockdowns should be kept in mind.
Major employers of local residents include health care & social assistance, mining, and retail trade. Mining represents an exceptional concentration in the local economy, holding a workforce share 4.5 times greater than the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.5% of employment, well under the regional proportion of 5.3%. While positions exist within the community, Census comparisons between resident workers and local employment counts indicate that a considerable number of workers commute outside the area for their jobs. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM data shows that in the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the local labour pool contracted by 2.1% while employment fell by 0.3%, resulting in a 1.7 percentage point drop in the jobless rate. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% decline in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future employment demand, projecting overall national jobs growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though industry trajectories vary considerably. Projecting these industry rates onto Broken Hill's specific workforce structure suggests potential employment gains of 6.4% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, though this weighted extrapolation is purely illustrative and excludes local demographic shifts.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,706 at the 2021 Census → 17,629 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 Aug 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.
