Sales Detail
Bungarribee has an estimated 3,561 residents, up from 3,177 at the 2021 Census — a change of 384 people, or 12.1%. Growth has averaged 2.6% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 66.0% of that increase. That puts 1,448 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
According to evaluations of ABS population adjustments for the surrounding region and recent residential locations confirmed by AreaSearch following the Census, the resident count for the suburb of Bungarribee is projected to be approximately 3,561 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 384 people (12.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,177 people. This shift is calculated from the local population of 3,561, assessed by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP numbers from June 2025 alongside 2 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. This population level yields a density of 1,447 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figures recorded across locations nationally by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Bungarribee's 12.1% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the state (7.1%) and Greater Sydney, establishing it as a regional growth leader. The upward population trajectory was chiefly driven by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 66.0% of the overall demographic increase in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates regional SA2 projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point. In instances where specific SA2 areas lack this coverage, projections compiled by the NSW State Government in 2022 using a 2021 base year are substituted. Age-specific growth velocities from these datasets are applied to local areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, these models point to a minor contraction in the resident base, with the suburb of Bungarribee expected to lose 16 persons by 2041. Despite this overall trend, expansion is anticipated within particular age cohorts, led by the 75 to 84 bracket, which is set to rise by 112 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
33 new dwellings have been approved in Bungarribee over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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
According to AreaSearch investigations of ABS building permit statistics mapped from regional datasets, the suburb of Bungarribee has averaged approximately 6 approved residential dwellings annually, accumulating to an estimated 33 homes over the previous 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 22 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 12.9 new residents per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand outstrips supply by a wide margin, which commonly triggers price appreciation and heightened buyer interest, while new residential builds carry an average construction value of $343,000.
Additionally, commercial building approvals worth $948,000 have been logged during this financial year, pointing to low levels of non-residential construction activity. Recent building projects consist of 62.0% standalone houses and 38.0% medium and high-density residential options, reflecting a growing selection of medium-density choices that provide diverse entry points at different price ranges, bridging traditional family residences and more economical compact properties. This represents a distinct shift from current residential patterns (which currently stand at 99.0% houses), indicating a decline in vacant developable land and addressing modern lifestyle choices and affordability pressures. The suburb has roughly 320 people per dwelling approval, showing capacity for further development. Given that the local population is expected to level off or contract, the suburb of Bungarribee should experience less pressure on residential housing, potentially offering favorable conditions for purchasers.

2,100 residents of Bungarribee are employed, from a labour force of 2,186. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 85.4%. 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 2,968, 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 features a well-educated labor pool with professional services being particularly prominent, an unemployment rate of just 3.9%, and an estimated employment growth of 4.2% during the previous year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. By March 2026, 2,100 residents were employed, and the local unemployment rate stood at 0.2% lower than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation reached 85.4%, which is significantly higher than Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Census data indicates that 41.5% of residents worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting these figures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing. The community demonstrates a notable concentration in health care & social assistance, where the local employment proportion is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented at 6.9% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% across the wider region. Comparing the headcount of Census workers to the resident population suggests the suburb offers relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional datasets by AreaSearch shows that the 12-month timeframe saw a 4.2% rise in employment alongside a 3.6% expansion of the labor force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. By contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a minor decrease in unemployment. National occupational projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective employment demand in the suburb of Bungarribee. These five and ten-year forecasts have been correlated with local employment profiles to estimate future trends. While country-wide employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different fields. Mapping these sector-specific trends to the local industry profile suggests employment for residents of the suburb of Bungarribee could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (note that this weighting exercise is for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,177 at the 2021 Census → 3,561 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 (SAL10679). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
