Detail
Demographic assessments combining broader regional ABS statistics with post-Census address validations indicate that the suburb of Coolamon has reached an estimated 2,426 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,275 people, this represents an addition of 151 people (6.6%). This upward trajectory stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 2,384 established from the ABS June 2025 ERP update, supplemented by 63 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With a density of 8.2 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Coolamon offers a spacious living environment.
The local expansion rate of 6.6% since the 2021 Census outpaced both the broader SA3 territory and the wider SA4 region (2.4%), positioning the suburb of Coolamon as a regional frontrunner. Natural increase served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 56.00000000000001% of recent population additions, while overseas migration and interstate migration likewise delivered positive contributions. Long-term forecasting utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 (benchmarked to base year 2022), alongside 2022 NSW State Government projections (using base year 2021) for locations without federal coverage, with age-cohort growth models projected forward across 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the suburb of Coolamon is positioned within the highest quartile nationwide for regional expansion, with aggregated SA2 modeling pointing to an increase of 704 persons by 2041, representing an overall gain of 27.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
77 new dwellings have been approved in Coolamon over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 24 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 75% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 57, 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 residential building approvals indicate that the suburb of Coolamon has averaged approximately 15 approved dwellings each year, amounting to 77 homes across the prior 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 57 approvals have been logged. In the period spanning FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 5.1 people arrived annually for every completed residence, demonstrating that residential demand continues to run well ahead of supply—a dynamic that typically escalates buyer competition and elevates property values—while average anticipated construction costs for new dwellings stand at $471,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals totaling $3.9 million have been recorded during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area.
Per capita building approvals in the suburb of Coolamon track 105.0% higher than the Rest of NSW benchmark, broadening options for purchasers. Recent residential approvals comprise 75.0% detached dwellings alongside 25.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving a low-density suburban landscape oriented toward freestanding houses that attract buyers seeking larger blocks. This profile represents a noticeable shift from the existing housing stock (where separate houses constitute 96.0%), responding to limited greenfield sites as well as evolving lifestyle choices and budget considerations. Recording approximately 59 people per approved dwelling, the locality exhibits key attributes of an expanding growth corridor. Projections indicate that the suburb of Coolamon will add 662 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest quarterly baseline. If dwelling construction continues at its current trajectory, supply may struggle to match demographic gains, likely intensifying purchaser demand and placing upward pressure on property values.

1,060 residents of Coolamon are employed, from a labour force of 1,094. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 58.2%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,994, about 82% 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 local labour market is characterized by a skilled resident base and strong representation across essential service sectors, maintaining a low unemployment rate of 3.1%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,060, keeping joblessness 1.0% lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while local participation stands at 58.2% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records indicate that 11.2% of workers operated from home, a figure potentially shaped by prevailing pandemic lockdown measures. Key employment sectors for local workers include public administration & safety, education & training, and health care & social assistance.
Local workforce concentration is exceptionally pronounced in public administration & safety, where the employment proportion is 1.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for 13.9% of jobs locally against 16.9% regionally. Comparing resident workers with locally based positions points to a modest local employment base within the immediate boundary. Over the 12 months leading to March 2026, local workforce numbers contracted by 4.3% while overall employment fell by 4.0%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe across Regional NSW, employment contracted by 0.9%, the overall labour pool diminished by 0.4%, and unemployment increased by 0.5 percentage points. Broader perspective is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Across the country, aggregate employment is projected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with outcomes varying considerably by industry. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local job base suggests potential employment growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (representing an unadjusted industry-weighted model that excludes local population adjustments).

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 — 63 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,275 at the 2021 Census → 2,426 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.
