Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS demographic revisions and post-Census address validations, the suburb of Mount Ousley has an estimated resident tally of roughly 1,642 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 31 people (1.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the suburb recorded 1,611 people. This adjustment draws from an ERP baseline of 1,640 determined by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 data release, combined with 1 validated new addresses logged post-Census. Population density stands at 2,052 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical nationwide figure observed across AreaSearch benchmarks.
The suburb of Mount Ousley's 1.9% post-Census expansion sits within 2.9 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (4.8%), reflecting steady demographic momentum. Overseas migration served as the primary contributor to local expansion, generating roughly 87.0% of recent population gains. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) across individual SA2 boundaries, supplementing with NSW State Government SA2 modeling released in 2022 (benchmarked to 2021) where coverage gaps exist. Cohort-specific growth rates from these datasets are further projected across all locations for 2032 through 2041. Based on these demographic outlooks, the suburb of Mount Ousley is projected to experience population expansion above the regional national median, adding 290 persons through 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, which represents a cumulative increase of 17.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Mount Ousley records minimal building activity, logging an average of 1 approvals annually, which amounts to 6 across the preceding five-year span. Such subdued volumes align with typical non-metropolitan environments characterized by restrained housing requirements and construction constrained by localized demand and infrastructure thresholds. Given the small overall volume of permits, year-to-year changes and percentage relativities can fluctuate substantially based on specific individual undertakings. Building activity in Mount Ousley tracks well behind the Rest of NSW, while also sitting significantly lower than countrywide norms. New residential approvals are evenly split between detached dwellings (50.0%) and attached dwellings (50.0%).
This move toward higher-density configurations creates attainable entry points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors. It represents a clear shift from the prevailing local stock (houses currently account for 94.0%), reflecting constrained land supply alongside shifting buyer lifestyles and affordability requirements. With approximately 662 people per approval, the area exhibits the traits of an established, mature locality. Moving forward, Mount Ousley's resident count is projected to increase by 288 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Under prevailing building rates, residential supply could face difficulties keeping pace with demographic expansion, potentially intensifying competition among buyers and placing upward pressure on property values.

843 residents of Mount Ousley are employed, from a labour force of 884. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 63.9%. 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 1,303, about 79% 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
Mount Ousley possesses a highly qualified workforce with substantial representation in foundational service industries, an unemployment rate of 4.6%, and 1.7% yearly job growth as measured by AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 843, with local joblessness tracking 0.5% above the 4.1% recorded across Regional NSW, while labour force participation remained standard at 63.9% (compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). Furthermore, 38.1% of workforce participants reported working remotely at the Census, although Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind. The primary employment sectors among local workers include health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services.
The community demonstrates a notable concentration in education & training, employing workers at 1.6 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for no local workers, falling below the 5.3% share seen across Regional NSW. As evidenced by the ratio of working population to resident population at the Census, this largely residential district provides relatively limited on-site employment opportunities. Drawing on ABS and SALM figures aggregated across wider statistical zones by AreaSearch, employment expanded by 1.7% and the labour pool grew by 1.8% over the year to March 2026, driving a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. In contrast, Regional NSW registered a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage points rise in joblessness. Five- and ten-year national employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future demand in Mount Ousley. Across the nation, total employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations among specific industries. Modeling these sectoral trends against Mount Ousley's workforce profile indicates potential local job increases of 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (representing a baseline weighting exercise for context, without incorporating 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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,611 at the 2021 Census → 1,642 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.
