Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Kootingal has an estimated count of 2,501 residents, calculated through AreaSearch assessments of broader ABS updates alongside post-Census address validations. This represents an addition of 188 people (8.1%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,313 people. These figures stem from an estimated resident count of 2,458 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 71 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. Demographic distribution stands at a spacious density ratio of 30 persons per square kilometer. Outpacing both the Rest of NSW and the broader SA4 region (3.7%), the suburb of Kootingal recorded an 8.1% gain since the 2021 census, positioning it as an regional expansion frontrunner.
While overseas arrivals and natural increase contributed positively, interstate migration served as the primary growth engine, generating approximately 66.0% of recent population additions. Demographic projections for the suburb of Kootingal utilise 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories from these aggregated datasets are applied across all localities. In line with wider trends, regional population expansion is anticipated to track above the national median, with the suburb of Kootingal projected to gain 335 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2-level estimates, culminating in a total 16-year increase of 11.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
155 new dwellings have been approved in Kootingal over the past five years, an average of 31 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 77% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, well below 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Kootingal generated an average of roughly 31 residential permits per year, culminating in approximately 155 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Progressing through FY-25, the area has tallied 22 approvals. With building activity adding an average of just 1 new residents per year per dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is comfortably matching or outpacing local demand, expanding buyer choice and accommodating expansion beyond existing expectations. New residential construction reflects an average value of $432,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $12.0 million during this financial year, underscoring resilient commercial capital inflow.
Per capita construction activity in Kootingal exceeds the Rest of NSW by 207.0%, offering extensive options for property purchasers despite a recent deceleration in building momentum. This volume sits well above national benchmarks, demonstrating substantial development confidence. Current residential building approvals consist of 77.0% detached houses alongside 23.0% medium and high-density housing options, maintaining the locality's low-density profile for lifestyle buyers while diversifying from the established baseline of 96.0% houses. This transition responds to tightening land constraints, shifting lifestyle preferences, and housing affordability needs. With approximately 114 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-corridor dynamics. Based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Kootingal is expected to expand by 292 residents by 2041. Ongoing residential development activity appears well positioned to absorb this influx, fostering advantageous conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population increases that surpass baseline forecasts.

1,295 residents of Kootingal are employed, from a labour force of 1,340. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 68.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,897, about 76% 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
Kootingal sustains an evenly distributed employment profile across white-collar and blue-collar disciplines, supported by strong engagement in essential services sectors and a low jobless rate of 3.4%, according to aggregated AreaSearch figures. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,295, with local unemployment tracking 0.7% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Concurrently, labor force engagement reached 68.1%, substantially outpacing the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census records identified that a modest 13.1% of workers operated from home, a metric potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
A notable regional concentration exists within transport, postal & warehousing, where the local workforce share reaches 1.8 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, accommodation & food demonstrates a lighter footprint, accounting for 5.6% of local workers against 7.8% across the wider region. Comparing the resident labor pool to the Census working population suggests that local employment opportunities within the immediate area remain relatively constrained. Across the 12 months leading to March 2026, AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics shows that Kootingal's labor force contracted by 2.0% as employment declined by 3.7%, resulting in a 1.7 percentage points rise in unemployment. Across Regional NSW over the same timeframe, jobs fell by 0.9%, the workforce diminished by 0.4%, and the jobless rate climbed by 0.5 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections provide a framework for evaluating future workplace trends. When applied to the local workforce composition, these five-year and ten-year national benchmarks—projecting overall job growth of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively—suggest local employment could expand by 6.2% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, based on illustrative industry weightings without incorporating 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 — 71 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,313 at the 2021 Census → 2,501 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.
