Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Following assessment of ABS population trends across the wider region, alongside address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Ulladulla has an estimated population of approximately 7,638 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 376 people (5.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 7,262 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population count of 7,573, which AreaSearch estimated using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures, combined with an extra 94 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 557 persons per square kilometer, indicating ample room per resident and capacity for prospective development.
The suburb of Ulladulla outpaced both its SA4 region (3.1%) and the SA3 area with its 5.2% rate of growth since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional growth frontrunner. The demographic expansion in the area was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 65.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, issued in 2022 with 2021 as the baseline, are utilized. The age-specific growth trajectories from these consolidated records are applied to every location for the years 2032 to 2041. Projecting forward, the suburb of Ulladulla is anticipated to experience a substantial demographic rise, placing it in the top quarter of regional Australia, with an estimated addition of 2,255 persons by 2041 according to merged SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 28.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
223 new dwellings have been approved in Ulladulla over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That places the area in the 58th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 43 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 63% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, 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
According to building approval figures from the ABS compiled by AreaSearch for local boundaries, the suburb of Ulladulla has averaged approximately 44 annual dwelling approvals, translating to an estimated 223 total homes over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 43 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.8 new occupants per year for each built home between FY-21 and FY-25, demand matches supply closely to sustain balanced market conditions. The average construction cost of these new residences is $672,000, indicating that builders are prioritizing high-end, premium projects.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $13.1 million during the current financial year, pointing to a steady pace of commercial expansion. When contrasted with the Rest of NSW, building activity on a per-capita basis in the suburb of Ulladulla is 12.0% lower, though it ranks in the 60th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide. Newly approved housing consists of 63.0% detached houses and 37.0% medium to high-density options, with an increasing proportion of apartments and townhouses offering diverse choices across different price brackets, ranging from traditional family houses to economical compact options. This demonstrates a clear departure from the existing dwelling profile, which is currently composed of 81.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of development plots and responding to changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. With approximately 247 residents per approved dwelling, the suburb of Ulladulla remains characterized as a low-density precinct. Long-term demographic projections suggest the suburb of Ulladulla will add 2,190 residents by 2041 when measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Should building volumes persist at current levels, residential supply could fall short of demographic expansion, which may intensify homebuyer competition and bolster property value appreciation.

2,824 residents of Ulladulla are employed, from a labour force of 2,992. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 46.8%. 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
A balanced mix of blue and white-collar occupations characterizes the local labor force in the suburb of Ulladulla, with visitor economy and lodging services playing a key role, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.6% according to aggregated statistical district records from AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,824, while the unemployment rate sat 1.5% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is also notably depressed, registering at 46.8% compared to the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census files show that a modest 10.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic containment measures.
Locals mostly find work in the retail, lodging, food services, and building sectors. Retail trade stands out as a major local employer, with concentration levels reaching 1.8 times what is seen regionally. Conversely, health care & social assistance is less prominent, employing only 13.0% of the local workforce compared to 16.9% across Regional NSW. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workers suggests local job opportunities are somewhat restricted within the immediate area. According to SALM and ABS statistics compiled by AreaSearch for the broader statistical area, the local workforce grew by 1.1% during the twelve months leading to March 2026, while total employment fell by 1.9%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 2.9 percentage points. This divergence was more pronounced than in Regional NSW, which saw a job decline of 0.9%, a labor force reduction of 0.4%, and an unemployment increase of 0.5 percentage points. Broader trends can be understood using national workforce projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These estimates, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with local industry profiles to project potential employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but rates differ widely by sector. Aligning these trends with the industry configuration of the suburb of Ulladulla indicates local employment could rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted calculation that does not factor in local demographic projections.

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 — 94 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,262 at the 2021 Census → 7,638 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.
