Sales Detail
Kooringal (NSW) has an estimated 7,242 residents, down from 7,404 at the 2021 Census — a change of 162 people, or 2.2%. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 97% of areas nationally. That puts 1,499 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 the latest demographic releases from the ABS for the wider region and address updates verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Kooringal (NSW) has a projected population of approximately 7,242 in May 2026. This represents a contraction of 162 individuals (2.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 7,404 residents. This adjustment is derived from a resident headcount of 7,190 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population release alongside 15 validated new addresses added post-Census. With these figures, the local density stands at 1,499 persons per square kilometer, outstripping the typical national density recorded in the AreaSearch database.
Natural increase was the primary contributor to demographic gains locally, accounting for roughly 55.00000000000001% of all population growth in recent times. For projected trends, AreaSearch incorporates the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia which use 2022 as their starting point, substituting NSW State Government SA2 forecasts from 2022 (using 2021 as a base) where needed. Age-specific growth velocities from these data pools are applied to local areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on this methodology, the total population of the suburb of Kooringal (NSW) is set to contract over the forecast window, dropping by 488 residents by 2041. Conversely, select demographics will expand, particularly the cohort aged 85 and over, which is modeled to grow by 198 individuals. More details are available in the subsequent age breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential building approvals in Kooringal remain highly restricted, averaging 3 annual permits, which translates to a total of 15 over the last five years. Such minimal development volumes are typical of country areas where local housing demands are quiet and construction is constrained by infrastructure limits and local needs. Given the tiny sample size, minor changes in project numbers can dramatically alter annual growth indices and relative comparisons. Compared to the Rest of NSW, Kooringal exhibits a much lower volume of building activity, with development rates also tracking below the nationwide average.
Additionally, all recent building completions have consisted of stand-alone houses, which aligns with the regional setting characterized by low-density properties and open spaces. This construction focus on detached residences is even more pronounced than the baseline dwelling mix (81.0% at the Census), signaling persistent demand for traditional houses. A figure of 2054 individuals for every approved dwelling indicates a highly established property market. With demographic projections pointing to a stable or shrinking population size, housing demand is likely to ease in Kooringal, which could present advantageous conditions for prospective home buyers.

3,359 residents of Kooringal (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 3,554. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 60.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,876, about 81% 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
Kooringal has a workforce characterized by strong representation in essential service fields and an unemployment rate of 5.5%, according to aggregated data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,359, while the jobless rate was 1.4% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%. Workforce participation matched the Regional NSW benchmark of 60.6%. At the Census, only 7.2% of the local workforce performed their jobs from home, a figure that was likely influenced by pandemic-related restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are retail trade, education & training, and health care & social assistance.
The local economy is notably concentrated in education & training, employing workers at 1.3 times the rate seen across Regional NSW. By contrast, the agricultural sector (including forestry and fishing) is underrepresented, making up only 1.9% of the local workforce compared to 5.3% regionally. The heavily residential layout of the area results in fewer local jobs, as seen when comparing the Census day working population against total resident workers. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS data across broader geographical sectors, the local workforce shrank by 4.3% in the year leading up to March 2026, while employment fell by 4.1%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. This trend differed from Regional NSW, where employment dipped by 0.9%, the overall labor pool shrank by 0.4%, and the jobless rate increased by 0.5 percentage points. National employment trends from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context for future demand patterns in Kooringal. These five-year and ten-year national outlooks have been aligned with local industry profiles to model future trends. Although total Australian employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion rates vary widely by industry. Applying these national projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment in Kooringal could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation that excludes localized demographic 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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,404 at the 2021 Census → 7,242 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.
