This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Nagambie has an estimated 5,082 residents, up from 4,537 at the 2021 Census — a change of 545 people, or 12.0%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. 342 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 75.9% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 demographic assessments by AreaSearch, the resident count of Nagambie stands at approximately 5,082 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 545 people (12.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, when 4,537 people were recorded. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 4,936 as of June 2025 alongside 342 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With this population base, the local density stands at 3.9 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space. Outperforming both the broader SA4 region (3.1%) and the Rest of Vic., Nagambie's 12.0% post-2021 Census expansion establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner.
The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion has been interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 75.9% of recent net gains. SA2 demographic projections are sourced from ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures. For SA2 territories excluded from that dataset, AreaSearch incorporates VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections published in 2023, utilizing weighted aggregation techniques to transition growth projections from LGA to SA2 geographies. Age cohort growth rates derived via this method are further extended across all territories for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic patterns, Nagambie is anticipated to experience exceptional expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan areas nationally, gaining 3,439 persons to 2041 relative to current annual ERP figures, which equates to a cumulative 16-year surge of 64.8%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
314 new dwellings have been approved in Nagambie over the past five years, an average of 62 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 63 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Dwelling approvals in Nagambie have averaged approximately 62 new homes per annum, accumulating to 314 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Factoring in an average intake of 1.8 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), residential supply and demand appear well balanced, sustaining stable market conditions, while newly built properties carry an average construction value of $528,000—moderately higher than regional norms—highlighting a commitment to superior build standards. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $11.8 million this financial year, pointing to steady non-residential development.
On a per capita basis, residential approval volumes in Nagambie surpass the Rest of Vic. by 65.0%, providing prospective purchasers with broader selection even as construction momentum has moderated lately. This rate substantially exceeds the national benchmark, underscoring pronounced developer confidence across the locality. Detached dwellings constitute 97.0% of recent construction while medium and high-density housing accounts for 3.0%, reinforcing the district's low-density profile and focus on spacious family accommodation. Furthermore, the ratio of roughly 113 people per dwelling approval reflects a developing residential market. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Nagambie is projected to welcome an extra 3,293 residents by 2041. Should building volumes remain at current levels, housing creation could trail behind demographic expansion, creating heightened buyer competition and exerting upward pressure on property values.

2,384 residents of Nagambie are employed, from a labour force of 2,481. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 58.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.4% 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. 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 local labour pool in Nagambie demonstrates strong technical capabilities, led notably by high representation across the construction sector, alongside a modest unemployment rate of 3.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,384, with unemployment registering 0.2% above the 3.7% observed across Regional Vic., and the labour participation rate tracking below regional benchmarks (58.0% versus 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census findings showed 17.1% of workers operating from home, an outcome potentially influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors among Nagambie residents include agriculture, forestry & fishing, construction, along with health care & social assistance.
Workforce participation in agriculture, forestry & fishing is exceptionally concentrated, standing at 2.1 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance provides jobs for only 11.6% of local workers, lagging behind the 16.8% recorded for Regional Vic.. Comparisons between resident workers and local employment figures from the Census suggest that local job availability remains constrained. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch indicates that in the year to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 2.3% while total employment dropped by 1.9%, lowering the jobless rate by 0.4 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Vic. recorded an employment decrease of 0.1%, a workforce decline of 0.3%, and an unemployment reduction of 0.2 percentage points. Further context regarding prospective local labour requirements is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year models have been cross-referenced with Nagambie's industry distribution to evaluate potential trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary across industries. Applying these sector-specific rates to Nagambie's workforce structure indicates local employment could rise by 5.4% over five years and 11.9% over ten years (noting this is a baseline weighted extrapolation for reference 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 — 342 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,537 at the 2021 Census → 5,082 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.
