Thurgoona has an estimated 13,842 residents, up from 11,028 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,814 people, or 25.5%. Growth has averaged 4.7% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 918 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 68.0% of that increase. That puts 389 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
According to the analysis of ABS population adjustments for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Thurgoona has a population estimated at approximately 13,842 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 2,814 people (25.5%) from the 2021 Census, when the recorded population stood at 11,028 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 13,321, which was estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP data and a further 918 validated new addresses since the Census date.
With this population level, the density ratio reaches 388 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial area for each individual and potential space for subsequent development. The 25.5% expansion rate in the suburb of Thurgoona since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of NSW (4.9%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a frontrunner for growth in the territory. Population expansion within the district was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 68.0% of all population increases in recent times, though other contributors such as natural growth and overseas migration also registered positive results. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 zone, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch utilizes the NSW State Government's SA2 forecasts published in 2022 with 2021 as the baseline year. Growth rates for different age cohorts derived from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at forward population projections, the area is anticipated to experience exceptional expansion that ranks in the top 10 percent of regional areas nationwide, with the population projected to rise by 7,089 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2-level forecasts, translating to a total increase of 47.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
825 new dwellings have been approved in Thurgoona over the past five years, an average of 165 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 174 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 157, broadly in line with 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
Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical area data, there has been an average of roughly 165 new home approvals annually in Thurgoona. This compiles to an estimated 825 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 144 so far in FY-26. With an average of 3.3 new residents arriving per constructed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is running well ahead of supply. This discrepancy generally drives up property values and intensifies buyer competition, while new homes carry an average construction value of $487,000, showing that developers are targeting the premium tier with high-end builds.
Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $57.1 million this financial year, pointing to high levels of local business activity. Compared with the Rest of NSW, Thurgoona exhibits 99.0% higher development activity per person, which ought to grant purchasers plenty of options, even though building activity has slowed down in recent times. This level is substantially higher than the national average, showing strong developer interest in the region. New building approvals consist of 94.0% detached homes and 6.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the low-density character of the locality with a focus on single-family homes that draw buyers looking for space. The area has approximately 108 people per dwelling approval, showing an expanding market. Looking ahead, the population is projected to expand by 6,568 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Construction is keeping a reasonable pace relative to the forecasted growth, though buyers might face rising competition as the population increases.

7,470 residents of Thurgoona are employed, from a labour force of 7,660. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 75.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 11,638, about 84% 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 locality possesses a skilled workforce with strong representation in essential services, and an unemployment rate of only 2.5% according to AreaSearch's compilation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 7,470 working residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.6% below the 4.1% rate of Regional NSW. Furthermore, workforce participation is exceptionally high at 75.4% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a minor 10.2% of the workforce worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions must be kept in mind. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The region exhibits a highly pronounced concentration in education & training, employing people at 1.3 times the regional average rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented, employing 1.2% of the workforce compared to 5.3% across the region. The area appears to have a shortage of local jobs, as indicated by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regional data, the labour force shrank by 3.8% and total employment fell by 4.4% over the 12 months ending March 2026, which led to a 0.7 percentage point rise 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 increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 can provide additional perspective on future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local occupation mix to model potential growth. Although total 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 sectors. Applying these industry-level projections to the local employment structure suggests that employment in the area should rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes 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 — 918 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,028 at the 2021 Census → 13,842 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.
