Sales Detail
Lismore (NSW) has an estimated 3,230 residents, down from 3,656 at the 2021 Census — a change of 426 people, or 11.7%. The population has thinned by an average 2.4% a year over five years, slower than 100% of areas nationally. That puts 926 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
In the suburb of Lismore (NSW), the population is estimated to stand at approximately 3,230 as of May 2026, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS regional updates and newly validated addresses since the Census. Compared to the 3,656 residents recorded during the 2021 Census, this represents a contraction of 426 people (11.7%). The updated figure is derived from an AreaSearch resident estimate of 3,228 based on the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 3 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level yields a density of 925 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical results across locations assessed by AreaSearch.
The primary driver of recent population gains was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 87.0% of the overall increases. Projections for each SA2 district are sourced from 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia datasets using 2022 as a base year, while NSW State Government projections from 2022 (with a 2021 base) are used for any remaining areas. Growth rates for different age brackets from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on this methodology, the suburb of Lismore (NSW) is projected to experience a demographic contraction, with the overall population shrinking by 317 persons by 2041. Conversely, expansion is expected within particular age cohorts, led by residents aged 85 and over, whose numbers are forecast to rise by 22 people. Refer to the age section for additional details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
20 new dwellings have been approved in Lismore (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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
An analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area records shows that Lismore averages about 4 residential approvals annually, with a total of approximately 20 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 16 approvals have been documented. Because the local population has been declining, this new supply has likely matched demand, providing buyers with sufficient options, while the average expected construction cost for these new homes is $522,000, indicating that developers are targeting premium, high-end projects. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $9.5 million this financial year, showing a moderate level of commercial construction activity.
Lismore exhibits considerably lower levels of building activity compared to the Rest of NSW, falling 59.0% below the regional average on a per capita basis. Although construction has picked up recently, this restricted supply generally helps maintain demand and property values for existing residences. Local activity is also lower than national benchmarks, reflecting a mature market and suggesting potential development constraints. Recent building approvals consist of 40.0% detached houses and 60.0% medium and high-density residential projects. This emphasis on denser housing options provides accessible price points for buyers and draws interest from downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a marked shift from the existing housing stock, which is currently 70.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of available building sites and responding to changing household sizes and affordability needs. The ratio of 593 people per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-intensity construction environment in the area. As population forecasts indicate stable or declining numbers, Lismore is expected to face fewer housing demand pressures, which should create favorable conditions for prospective buyers.

Remaining elements including the inclusive play space, sports courts, dog park, pathways, BBQ facilities and parking upgrades will be delivered progressively as grant funding is secured.
Pineapple Road Sewerage Scheme
A major wastewater infrastructure project completed in September 2024, involving installation of a new pump station and over four kilometres of pipeline to provide sustainable wastewater services. The project unlocks development opportunity for up to 600 new flood-free housing lots in Goonellabah and was delivered in partnership with BASEC Engineering, DGP Water and Ledonne Constructions, creating 30 local jobs. The completed sewage pumping station features activated carbon filters to mitigate potential odours and connects to Council's established network of 46km of rising mains and 332kms of gravity pipes.

The project includes an existing 3-bedroom home.
1,432 residents of Lismore (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 1,574. Unemployment sits at 9.0%, with participation at 58.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce is highly skilled, featuring strong representation in essential service sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 9.0% and an estimated annual job growth rate of 1.5%, based on aggregated statistical area statistics. In March 2026, there were 1,432 employed residents. The local unemployment rate is 4.9% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, showing room for improvement, while workforce participation is slightly lower than average, standing at 58.0% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a low 11.6% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been affected by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food. Specialization in health care & social assistance is notably high, with its share of the workforce reaching 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, construction represents a smaller segment of the workforce at 6.5% compared to 9.7% regionally. The Census recorded a ratio of 0.6 workers for every resident, pointing to local job availability that exceeds typical benchmarks. Based on statistical area aggregations of SALM and ABS data, the past 12 months saw job numbers rise by 1.5% while the labour force expanded by 3.0%, leading to a 1.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Future demand trends in Lismore can be analyzed using Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25. These five and ten-year national projections have been applied to local workforce data to project future patterns. Although overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across sectors. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests Lismore's employment will rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.5% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,656 at the 2021 Census → 3,230 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.
