Murrumbateman has an estimated 3,952 residents, up from 3,607 at the 2021 Census — a change of 345 people, or 9.6%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years. 194 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 46.0% of that increase. Density is about 28 people per 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 an evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Murrumbateman has a projected population of approximately 3,952 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 345 residents (9.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,607 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 3,951, estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) alongside 194 validated new addresses added since the Census date. This population level corresponds to a density of 28 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment.
The 9.6% growth rate in the suburb of Murrumbateman since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (2.5%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a local growth leader. Population gains were chiefly supported by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 46.0% of the net expansion during recent times, though all components, including overseas and interstate migration, made positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 areas lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Age-specific growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transitions, the suburb of Murrumbateman is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median for non-metropolitan locations, adding 616 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level forecasts, which translates to a total increase of 15.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
138 new dwellings have been approved in Murrumbateman over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 41, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, Murrumbateman has maintained a yearly average of approximately 27 residential approvals, with 138 dwellings authorized over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 38 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. Given that an average of 3.1 people relocated to the area for every home constructed during those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping new additions, a trend that typically drives property values higher and intensifies competition among purchasers, with newly built dwellings carrying a mean estimated construction cost of $720,000, indicating that builders are focusing on premium, upscale housing options.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $538,000 have been logged during the current financial year, pointing to a market that is overwhelmingly residential. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, Murrumbateman exhibits 83.0% higher building approval volumes per capita, offering prospective buyers a broader selection of properties. Additionally, all recent building permits have been for standalone houses, preserving the locality's established low-density aesthetic and emphasizing single-family homes designed for buyers prioritizing space. Reflecting its status as an expanding residential hub, there are roughly 135 people for each approved dwelling. Looking forward, Murrumbateman is projected to add 615 residents by 2041 (computed from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). With current construction paces, the incoming housing stock is projected to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially fostering growth that outpaces current demographic forecasts.

2,290 residents of Murrumbateman are employed, from a labour force of 2,310. Unemployment sits at 0.9%, with participation at 74.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,885, about 73% 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
Murrumbateman is characterized by a highly educated labor force with substantial representation in key public and service industries, and an unemployment rate standing at only 0.9%, according to statistical area data aggregated by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there are 2,290 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 3.2% lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while labor force participation is exceptionally strong at 74.3% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates a moderate 16.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors of employment for local residents are public administration & safety, construction, and professional & technical services. Public administration & safety is exceptionally prominent, with a workforce concentration 3.6 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, accounting for 8.4% of employment compared to the regional average of 16.9%. A comparison of the local jobs count from the Census against the resident working population suggests that the area offers few employment opportunities within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the local workforce contracted by 1.6% and total employment fell by 1.3% over the year ending March 2026, leading to a 0.3 percentage point reduction in unemployment. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9%, the labor force contract by 0.4%, and unemployment increase by 0.5 percentage points. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a benchmark for analyzing future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential employment trends. Although aggregate national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different fields. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local labor profile suggests that employment in Murrumbateman would rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted projection for comparative purposes 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 — 194 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,607 at the 2021 Census → 3,952 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.
