Sales Detail
Kyogle has an estimated 2,348 residents, up from 2,248 at the 2021 Census — a change of 100 people, or 4.4%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. Density is about 78 people per 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 Kyogle has an estimated resident count of around 2,348, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining post-Census new address verifications and broader ABS demographic updates. This represents a gain of 100 people (4.4%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,248 people. AreaSearch established this shift by examining the ABS Estimated Resident Population release from June 2025 (which indicated a population of 2,346) alongside 45 validated new addresses logged following the Census. With 77 persons per square kilometer, the locality features generous physical space per resident and capacity for additional building.
Outperforming both the wider SA4 region and the SA3 area (0.1%), the suburb of Kyogle emerged as a local growth pacesetter through its 4.4% expansion since the 2021 census. Net overseas migration served as the foremost catalyst, generating roughly 51.0% of all recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 (using 2022 as their baseline), supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 datasets issued in 2022 (benchmarked to 2021) for locations not covered by the former. Cohort-specific growth trajectories from these aggregated datasets are extended across 2032 to 2041 for all districts. Looking ahead at demographic trajectories, the suburb of Kyogle is projected under this methodology to see an overall contraction of 200 persons by 2041. In contrast to this headline decline, select older age brackets will experience gains, most noticeably the 85 and over demographic with a forecast increase of 81 people. <i>See the age section for more details.</i>
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
36 new dwellings have been approved in Kyogle over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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 statistical area building approval datasets from the ABS, AreaSearch indicates that Kyogle averages approximately 7 residential approvals each year, totaling an estimated 36 homes across the prior 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), with 10 approved during FY-25 to date. The local construction landscape remains well-balanced between demand and supply, seeing an average of 2 people moving in annually for every dwelling completed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). New residential builds carry an average estimated construction value of $529,000, which sits moderately higher than regional benchmarks and reflects a commitment to quality residential development.
Non-residential approvals amounted to $1.5 million over the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the locality. Compared against the Rest of NSW benchmark, building approvals in Kyogle run moderately higher on a per capita basis (44.0% above the regional average over the 5 year period), preserving healthy market choice while sustaining local real estate valuations. Free-standing houses represent 78.0% of newly authorized residential structures, with medium and high-density housing accounting for the remaining 22.0%, reinforcing the traditional open suburban footprint suited to family living. An average of roughly 257 people per dwelling approval further highlights the low-density nature of the township. With demographic forecasts indicating stable to declining resident totals, Kyogle is likely to see reduced pressure on its housing pipeline, offering advantageous market dynamics for residential buyers.

866 residents of Kyogle are employed, from a labour force of 932. Unemployment sits at 7.1%, with participation at 48.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,925, 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
Kyogle features a diverse labor market that includes both manual and professional occupations, with key service industries being well represented. The area recorded an unemployment rate of 7.1% and experienced an estimated employment growth of 3.0% during the previous year, according to data compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area sources. By March 2026, the local population had 866 individuals employed, while the unemployment rate stood at 3.0% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%. Workforce participation in Kyogle was notably lower at 48.4%, falling short of the Regional NSW figure of 60.6%.
Census data revealed that only 10.5% of residents worked from home, a figure that should be viewed with caution due to possible effects from the Covid-19 lockdown period. The primary employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Health care & social assistance constitutes a key local specialty, commanding an employment concentration 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, public administration & safety employs only 5.0% of workers in Kyogle versus 7.5% across Regional NSW. Comparisons between the resident workforce and locally situated Census jobs indicate relatively limited commercial employment opportunities within the immediate boundaries. According to ABS and SALM metrics compiled by AreaSearch across broader statistical geographies, the year to March 2026 saw local employment grow by 3.0% alongside a 3.9% increase in the labor force, resulting in a 0.8 percentage point uptick in the jobless rate. This diverged from Regional NSW, which recorded an employment decline of 0.9%, a 0.4% labor force decrease, and an unemployment rise of 0.5 percentage points. Broader baseline expectations can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections issued in Mar-26. Projected forward across five and ten-year intervals and aligned with the local industry profile, these forecasts highlight distinct sector-level variances despite nationwide projections of 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sector trends against Kyogle's current industrial base indicates projected local job expansion of 6.4% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighting extrapolation for demonstration and excludes localized population models).

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 — 45 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,248 at the 2021 Census → 2,348 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.
