Detail
Based on analysis of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, combined with fresh address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Bungendore has a calculated residency of approximately 5,317 as of May 2026. This indicates an addition of 572 people (12.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 4,745 individuals. This shift is derived from a resident headcount of 5,296, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP publication (June 2025) alongside 281 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size represents a density of 17.9 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious environment for residents.
The 12.1% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (4.5%) as well as the Rest of NSW, positioning the locality as a regional leader in expansion. Population gains were primarily underpinned by arrivals from other states, which accounted for roughly 46.0% of the aggregate demographic increase during recent times, though all indicators, including natural increase and international arrivals, remained positive contributors. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 locality, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas where these numbers are unavailable, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline, are utilized instead. Demographic expansion rates by age cohort from these aggregated figures are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic trends, the suburb of Bungendore is projected to experience remarkable growth that ranks within the highest 10 percent of regional localities nationwide. It is anticipated that the population will grow by 2,484 persons by 2041 according to aggregated SA2-level estimates, representing a total increase of 46.3% over the 16 years.

Bungendore Overflow Channel
Construction of a grass-lined overflow channel on Turallo Creek at Bungendore to bypass the Tarago Road bridge during flood events. The project will divert higher flood flows through new box culverts beneath Tarago Road, re-entering Turallo Creek downstream of the Turallo and Halfway Creeks confluence. It is intended to direct floodwaters away from Bungendore town centre properties, reduce backup where the creeks join, and provide additional flood storage during major events. The REF has been determined and approved, while council lists design and REF updates as underway before open tender contractor engagement.

The Blind Creek Solar Farm, a proposed 350-400 MW solar farm 8km north of Bungendore, will connect to an existing high-voltage line and include an onsite substation and a 300 MW / 600 MWh Battery Energy Storage System.
3,058 residents of Bungendore are employed, from a labour force of 3,079. Unemployment sits at 0.7%, with participation at 75.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 3,993, about 75% 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
The suburb of Bungendore boasts a highly qualified labor force with significant representation in key service industries, alongside an unemployment rate of a mere 0.7%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of local statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 3,058 employed locals, while the jobless rate sits 3.4% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is exceptionally high, standing at 75.0% compared to 60.6% for Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a moderate 15.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, construction, and professional & technical services. The community displays a marked concentration in public administration & safety, with an employment proportion that is 3.7 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance provides jobs for only 7.9% of local workers, which is below the Regional NSW proportion of 16.9%. The locality seems to provide a limited volume of local employment, as shown by comparing the count of Census workers against the residing working-age population. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from surrounding statistical sectors, the local workforce shrank by 2.0% during the year ending March 2026, accompanied by a 2.0% drop in employment, while the jobless numbers stayed virtually unchanged. This stands in contrast to Regional NSW, where employment declined by 0.9%, the labor force fell by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.5 percentage points. Employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context regarding future labour demands for the suburb of Bungendore. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future employment trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of the suburb of Bungendore indicates that local employment is projected to rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.4% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not integrate local population trends.

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 — 281 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,745 at the 2021 Census → 5,317 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.
