Detail
Demographic evaluations synthesising broader ABS updates and post-Census address validations by AreaSearch indicate the suburb of Lake Albert (NSW) has an estimated resident tally of approximately 6,366 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 75 people (1.2%) compared to the 6,291 residents documented in the 2021 Census. Such movement builds upon the 6,321 figure determined by AreaSearch following the ABS ERP release in June 2025, alongside 107 validated new addresses logged after the Census date. With a density profile of 259 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Lake Albert (NSW) maintains generous space per occupant and scope for incoming development.
The 1.2% expansion recorded since the census tracks within 1.2 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (2.4%), illustrating solid comparative momentum. Overall gains were predominantly underpinned by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 55.00000000000001% of total additions in recent intervals. In modelling demographic trajectories, AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for SA2 units published in 2024 using 2022 as their baseline, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts based in 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific growth rates from these datasets are extended across all localities. Under this framework, long-term projections point toward demographic contraction, with the suburb of Lake Albert (NSW) projected to see its headcount reduce by 424 persons by 2041. Conversely, senior cohorts are forecast to expand, most notably the 85 and over group, which is anticipated to add 193 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
66 new dwellings have been approved in Lake Albert (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 3.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 44, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals aggregated by AreaSearch reveals that new residential development in the suburb has averaged approximately 13 dwellings annually, with 66 homes granted building approval across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 44 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Amid recent population contraction, the flow of new supply has adequately accommodated local demand to sustain a balanced market environment. Approved construction works reflect an expected average construction cost of $591,000 per dwelling, highlighting developer focus on higher-tier, quality residential product. Furthermore, non-residential approvals include $700,000 in commercial development this financial year, underscoring the suburb's overwhelmingly residential orientation.
Per capita dwelling approval volume in the locality sits at approximately three-quarters of the level recorded across Rest of NSW, positioning the suburb within the 68th percentile of evaluated Australian markets amid an uptick in recent construction applications. Approvals consist of 91.0% detached houses alongside 9.0% medium and high-density housing types, reinforcing the neighbourhood's open, low-density suburban landscape oriented toward spacious family living. A ratio of approximately 183 people per dwelling approval further highlights this low-density residential profile. Given that the local population is projected to stabilize or contract, reduced demand pressure on residential stock may emerge across the suburb, potentially opening up favourable conditions for prospective property buyers.

3,203 residents of Lake Albert (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 3,265. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 62.2%. 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 5,148, 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
Supported by an established base of workers in key services, the local labour pool exhibits an unemployment rate of only 1.9% according to statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch. Employment records for March 2026 show 3,203 residents actively employed, while joblessness sits 2.2% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, alongside an overall participation rate that broadly mirrors the 60.6% seen across Regional NSW. Census figures also show that a modest 10.0% of local workers operated from home, though period-specific Covid-19 restrictions must be noted. Workforce participation among residents is concentrated heavily within health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The community shows a pronounced technical orientation toward building and construction, maintaining an employment concentration 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.9% of employed residents, trailing the 5.3% regional level. Comparisons between the working population tally and resident counts from the Census indicate that this largely residential setting provides relatively constrained internal job opportunities. According to AreaSearch syntheses of SALM and ABS figures across wider statistical geographies, the annual tracking period registered a 3.5% contraction in the labour pool and a 3.4% reduction in employment, while the unemployment level showed no significant movement. In comparison, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in employed workers, a 0.4% dip in total workforce size, and a 0.5 percentage points lift in unemployment. Future labour demand patterns can be evaluated using national industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. Projected across five and ten-year horizons against the local workforce mix, these figures point to overall Australian employment expansions of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry paths vary widely. When applied directly to local industry shares, these trajectories suggest potential employment growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 107 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,291 at the 2021 Census → 6,366 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.
