This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Lorn has an estimated 1,582 residents, up from 1,465 at the 2021 Census — a change of 117 people, or 8.0%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 66.0% of that increase. That puts 345 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
Based on demographic assessments of ABS statistics for the surrounding region, combined with address records verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Lorn has an estimated population of 1,582 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 117 residents (8.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 1,465 individuals. The figure is calculated from a resident population of 1,564, determined by AreaSearch through analysis of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 3 new verified addresses since the Census date. With this population level, the suburb of Lorn has a density of 344 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for potential development.
The 8.0% growth rate in Lorn since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of NSW (4.9%) and the state, positioning the suburb of Lorn as a regional growth leader. This expansion was driven mostly by arrivals from other states, accounting for roughly 66.0% of the total demographic gain during recent times, with natural increase and international migration also contributing positively. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 divisions. For SA2 divisions missing from that dataset, NSW Government projections from 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Age-specific growth percentages derived from these sources are projected forward to the years 2032 through 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, significant growth is anticipated in the top quartile of non-metropolitan areas, with the suburb of Lorn projected to add 628 residents by 2041 using aggregated SA2 projections, which represents a total growth of 38.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
25 new dwellings have been approved in Lorn over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 3.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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 allocated from regional data shows that Lorn averages about 5 approved residential dwellings per year. Over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), approximately 25 homes received approval, with 8 approvals recorded during the current FY-26. Given that 4.5 new inhabitants have been added for every dwelling constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new housing is falling short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives up prices. Approved properties show an average construction cost of $483,000, suggesting that builders are targeting the higher-end market with premium projects.
Additionally, commercial development approvals total $3.6 million in the current financial year, showing a quiet commercial construction sector. Compared to the Rest of NSW, building volume in Lorn is significantly lower, tracking 72.0% under the regional per capita average. This minimal volume of new homes tends to bolster demand and support valuations for existing houses. Approval levels are also lower than the national benchmark, indicating a mature market and potential development limits. The mix of new construction comprises 80.0% detached houses and 20.0% multi-unit dwellings, which preserves the traditional low-density profile of the area and emphasizes family residences for buyers seeking space. An estimated ratio of 520 residents for each approved home highlights the calm, low-volume construction climate of the locality. Demographic forecasts suggest that Lorn will add 610 new inhabitants by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new housing may fail to match population expansion, which could heighten competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

817 residents of Lorn are employed, from a labour force of 832. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 64.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,225, about 77% 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
The local workforce is characterized by high levels of education and a strong presence in essential services sectors. The unemployment rate sits at 1.7%, and employment expanded by an estimated 2.1% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch compilations of regional statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 817 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate is 2.4% lower than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is typical, sitting at 64.7% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a moderate 24.5% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 restrictions.
Local jobs are heavily concentrated in the fields of healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and construction. In particular, representation in education and training is high, with local employment ratios reaching 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector accounts for only 1.9% of local employment, which is below the 5.3% average for Regional NSW. A comparison between the census working population and resident numbers suggests that local employment opportunities are limited. Based on AreaSearch processing of SALM and ABS statistics for the wider region, employment rose by 2.1% and the labor force grew by 1.8% during the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a drop in unemployment of 0.4 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW saw employment contract by 0.9% and the labor force shrink by 0.4%, leading to an increase of 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia projections from May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective employment demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sectoral models to the local employment mix suggests Lorn could see employment rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, noting this is a weighted extrapolation and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 (1,465 at the 2021 Census → 1,582 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL12398). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
