Bungarribee has an estimated 3,555 residents, up from 3,177 at the 2021 Census — a change of 378 people, or 11.9%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 66.0% of that increase. That puts 1,445 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch combining regional ABS population releases with post-Census address validations indicate that the suburb of Bungarribee has reached approximately 3,555 residents as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 3,177 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 378 people, or an 11.9% expansion. This updated figure builds upon an Estimated Resident Population (ERP) baseline of 3,552 derived from the ABS June 2025 release, along with 2 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. Consequently, local population density stands at 1,445 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across AreaSearch's national monitoring network.
With an 11.9% gain since the 2021 census, the suburb outpaced the 7.3% recorded statewide as well as Greater Sydney, positioning it among the territory's faster-growing localities. Inbound overseas migration formed the primary catalyst, delivering around 66.0% of all recent demographic expansion. Projections for the suburb of Bungarribee utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 (anchored to 2022 baseline figures), supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2022 (using 2021 as a base year) for localities without federal coverage. Cohort-specific trajectory rates across these models are incorporated from 2032 to 2041. Over this projection horizon, broader demographics indicate a moderate contraction, with local headcounts expected to reduce by 130 persons by 2041 under these parameters. Conversely, specific older demographics will expand, spearheaded by residents aged 75 to 84, who are forecast to add 118 people. <i>See the age section for more details.</i>
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
27 new dwellings have been approved in Bungarribee over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 25, running ahead of 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
Statistical evaluations of ABS building approval records indicate that Bungarribee has sustained an approval trajectory of approximately 5 residential units per annum, adding up to an estimated 27 homes across the trailing 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 25 dwelling approvals have been granted. Considering that around 8.2 new residents per year arrived for each residence delivered over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), construction volumes trail local demand, a dynamic that typically accelerates pricing and fosters competitive bidding. The average expected construction cost for newly approved dwellings sits at $295,000, presenting a relatively affordable building entry point compared to broader benchmarks.
Concurrently, non-residential approvals reached $948,000 in commercial development over the current financial year, underscoring a predominantly residential urban environment. Recent residential planning pipelines comprise 70.0% detached dwellings alongside 30.0% medium and high-density housing configurations, introducing more attached styles that offer varied price tiers from larger family residences to entry-level builds. This evolution marks a noticeable transition from existing structural stock (which is 99.0% houses), driven by tapering greenfield parcel availability and shifting homebuyer priorities. Showing approximately 156 people per approval, the suburb displays typical hallmarks of an evolving residential district. Given that demographic modeling points toward plateauing or contracting resident totals, development stress and housing demand in Bungarribee are anticipated to soften, creating favorable conditions for incoming buyers.

2,109 residents of Bungarribee are employed, from a labour force of 2,196. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 85.7%. 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 2,956, about 83% 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
Bungarribee maintains an active professional workforce distinguished by low joblessness of 4.0% and an estimated annual employment expansion of 4.3%, based on statistical aggregations by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 2,109 residents were actively employed, while unemployment tracked 0.2% beneath the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce engagement is especially high, registering an 85.7% participation rate compared to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records also revealed that 41.5% of working residents performed their roles from home, although prevailing Covid-19 health orders during that enumeration should be noted. Major sectors employing local workers include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing.
Representation in health care & social assistance is particularly pronounced, tracking at 1.4 times regional levels. By contrast, professional & technical occupations are less prevalent, engaging 6.9% of local workers versus 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Furthermore, comparing local working counts against the resident pool indicates a limited internal commercial job base. Data from SALM and the ABS indicates that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, local headcount in work grew by 4.3% while the labor force expanded by 3.7%, driving down the jobless rate by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor pool gains of 1.9% each, accompanied by a slight jobless contraction. Future sector trajectory can be gauged via Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 across five and ten-year timeframes. Across Australia, workforce growth is modeled at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry variations remain substantial. Extrapolating these sector trajectories across Bungarribee's existing employment profile indicates prospective local occupational growth of 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (representing a baseline weighting exercise for context rather than a localized population forecast).

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,177 at the 2021 Census → 3,555 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.
