Sales Detail
Kotara has an estimated 4,156 residents, up from 3,980 at the 2021 Census — a change of 176 people, or 4.4%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 1,662 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Kotara is estimated to have a population of approximately 4,156, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates with new addresses verified since the Census. This represents an addition of 176 people (4.4%) compared to the 3,980 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds on an Estimated Resident Population (ERP) of 4,115 calculated from the ABS June 2025 release, along with 41 validated new addresses identified post-Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,662 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.
Moreover, the 4.4% expansion recorded since the census trails the Rest of NSW (5.1%) by only 0.7 percentage points, reflecting robust underlying expansion. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 54.0% of recent population additions in the suburb of Kotara. Projections for the suburb of Kotara utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (taking 2022 as its base), supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 (anchored to 2021). Age-cohort growth trends derived from these sources are extended across all locations for 2032 to 2041. Over the coming years, demographic expansion in the suburb of Kotara is slated to track slightly beneath the nationwide regional median, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to a 204-person gain by 2041, representing a cumulative 3.9% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
58 new dwellings have been approved in Kotara over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 4.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, 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
Examining ABS residential approval figures across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch notes that Kotara registers approximately 11 residential approvals per annum. Over the recent 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), a cumulative 58 homes were approved, including 30 during FY-25 to date. An average inflow of 1.4 new residents per year for each newly approved dwelling across those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to well-aligned supply and demand alongside stable conditions. New residences carry an average construction value of $550,000, tracking moderately higher than regional benchmarks and underscoring a commitment to superior build quality.
Concurrently, non-residential activity is evidenced by $6.3 million in approved commercial development during the current financial year, reinforcing local urban balance. Recent residential development activity has been dominated by medium and high-density formats (71.0%), while detached dwellings account for 29.0%. This shift toward higher-density building creates more accessible price points for incoming purchasers, downsizers, and investors. It also represents a marked pivot from the established built environment, where houses make up 88.0% of stock, highlighting tighter land supply alongside evolving lifestyle and affordability demands. With an average of roughly 216 people per dwelling approval, the locality maintains the broader hallmarks of a low density environment. Demographic projections indicate that Kotara is set to add 163 residents through to 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Under prevailing construction trajectories, incoming residential pipeline should comfortably absorb this influx, ensuring favorable conditions for property purchasers and potentially enabling population gains beyond baseline forecasts.

2,329 residents of Kotara are employed, from a labour force of 2,405. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 71.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,853, about 117% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Kotara features an educated talent pool with strong participation in critical service industries and a low jobless rate of 3.2%, derived from AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 2,329 residents are actively employed. The local unemployment level sits 0.9% under the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, while the local participation rate reaches 71.8%, significantly surpassing the 60.6% seen in Regional NSW. Census findings also showed that 32.8% of employed locals conducted their work from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment drivers for the local workforce comprise health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
Specialization is particularly pronounced in health care & social assistance, where local job concentration is 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.1% of workforce participation, well beneath the 5.3% typical across Regional NSW. A workforce balance of 0.9 workers per resident at the Census points to a healthy foundation of employment within the surrounding catchment. Synthesizing SALM and ABS figures across wider statistical areas, AreaSearch reports that the preceding 12-month period saw the workforce shrink by 0.9% alongside a 2.0% decline in employment, pushing the unemployment rate up by 1.1 percentage points. Across Regional NSW over the same timeframe, employment contracted by 0.9%, the overall labor pool reduced by 0.4%, and unemployment climbed 0.5 percentage points. Broader national occupational projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context for future local demand. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though industry variations remain wide. Mapping these sectoral projections against the local industry baseline suggests Kotara's employment pool could expand by 7.1% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (a weighted structural extrapolation intended for illustration without adjusting for localized demographic shifts).

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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,980 at the 2021 Census → 4,156 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.
