Detail
According to evaluations of ABS population revisions for the broader region and fresh physical locations verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Mount Ousley has a population calculated at approximately 1,657 in May 2026. This indicates a rise of 46 people (2.9%) from the 2021 Census, which counted a population of 1,611 people. This shift is determined from the resident population of 1,656, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP data from the ABS (June 2025) along with 1 validated new address since the Census date. This size of population represents a density of 2,071 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical levels observed across nationwide locations tracked by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Mount Ousley's 2.9% post-census growth is within 1.8 percentage points of the SA3 area (4.7%), showing competitive expansion characteristics. Growth in the local population was mostly generated by arrivals from overseas, who made up about 87.0% of all population increases in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, AreaSearch incorporates SA2 level projections from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Projected growth rates by age group from these sources are also used for all locations between 2032 and 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, a higher than median rate of population growth is projected for non-metropolitan locations across the country, with this area expected to grow by 300 persons by 2041 using consolidated SA2-level forecasts, representing an expansion of 18.0% overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property development in the suburb of Mount Ousley is extremely quiet, averaging 1 approval annually (with a sum of 8 over the last five years). Such low numbers of approvals are typical for non-urban settings where demand for housing is small and building projects are naturally constrained by local requirements and infrastructure limits. Note that with such minimal approvals, annual percentage changes and comparisons can show high volatility due to individual projects. The suburb of Mount Ousley displays much lower levels of construction activity than the Rest of NSW, a trend that also sits below national averages.
Approved residential projects consist of 50.0% detached dwellings and 50.0% semi-detached or multi-unit housing options. This equal split featuring more compact housing provides lower-cost options for buyers and draws empty-nesters, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear departure from the current local housing stock (of which 94.0% is houses), showing that available vacant land is shrinking, and reflecting shifting preferences and demand for diverse, cheaper options. The suburb of Mount Ousley records approximately 3308 residents for every residential approval, pointing to an established real estate market. Looking forward, the suburb of Mount Ousley is projected to add 299 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its current pace, the creation of new housing may lag behind population expansion, which could heighten buyer competition and support higher price growth.

851 residents of Mount Ousley are employed, from a labour force of 892. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, 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 1,315, 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 well-educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of 4.6%, and 2.0% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 851 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.5% above Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is fairly standard (64.7% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a high 38.1% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The main employment sectors for local workers are healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional and technical services. The area shows a clear specialization in education and training, with local employment in this sector reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, primary industries like agriculture, forestry, and fishing are underrepresented, accounting for none of the local workers in the suburb of Mount Ousley compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. This mostly residential locality has relatively few local jobs, as seen when comparing the Census working population against the resident workforce. Based on AreaSearch calculations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from surrounding regions, employment rose by 2.0% and the active labor force grew by 2.2% in the year ending March 2026, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.1 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional NSW, which saw employment drop by 0.9%, the labor force decrease by 0.4%, and unemployment rise by 0.5 percentage points. Broader federal employment forecasts from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further indications of prospective employment trends. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been combined with the local workforce makeup to project future trends. While national employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, these rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the workforce of the suburb of Mount Ousley suggests local employment will rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted calculation for presentation purposes and does not factor in local population growth 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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,611 at the 2021 Census → 1,657 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 (SAL12793). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
