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 5,080 residents, up from 4,537 at the 2021 Census — a change of 543 people, or 12.0%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 78% 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Nagambie is approximately 5,080 in May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 543 residents (12.0%) from the 4,537 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,936 alongside 342 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 3.9 persons per square kilometer, which represents a low-density environment with significant space per resident. The 12.0% expansion rate of Nagambie outpaced both the broader SA4 region (2.9%) and the Rest of Vic., positioning the locality as a regional leader in population expansion.
The primary contributor to these gains was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 75.9% of the population increase in recent times. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch applies the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the baseline. Where these figures are unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA releases, scaled from LGA to SA2 levels using a weighted aggregation method. The age cohort growth projections derived from these calculations are extended across all sectors for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on recent annual ERP statistics, future demographic shifts point to rapid growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of all non-metropolitan zones in Australia, with the local population projected to rise by 3,444 residents by 2041, representing a overall increase of 65.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
329 new dwellings have been approved in Nagambie over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential approvals in Nagambie average approximately 65 per year, totaling 329 dwellings over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with 32 registered during FY-26 so far. With an average of 1.7 additional residents per built dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the local market exhibits a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand, fostering stability. Developers are focusing on the higher-end market with premium offerings, as shown by an average new home construction cost of $413,000. Additionally, commercial development appears steady, with $11.8 million in commercial building approvals recorded in the current financial year.
Per capita, the level of development activity in Nagambie is 70.0% higher than in the Rest of Vic., offering home buyers a wide range of options despite a recent slowdown in construction volumes. This rate of activity is substantially higher than the national average, indicating strong developer interest in the region. Detached houses comprise 96.0% of the new building approvals, while townhouses and apartments make up 4.0%, maintaining the low-density profile of the area and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The ratio stands at approximately 104 people for every dwelling approval, pointing to a growing market. Projections based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures indicate that Nagambie will add 3,300 residents by 2041. If current construction rates persist, the supply of housing may not keep pace with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and put upward pressure on prices.

2,384 residents of Nagambie are employed, from a labour force of 2,481. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 57.6%. 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 workforce is characterized by solid skill levels, with the construction sector showing notable representation, and a low unemployment rate of 3.9%. As of March 2026, there are 2,384 employed residents. The unemployment rate sits 0.2% higher than the Regional Vic. benchmark of 3.7%, while the participation rate is lower than average, standing at 57.6% compared to 61.1% across Regional Vic. Census data shows that a moderate 17.1% of employees worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns. The primary employment sectors for residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, construction, and health care & social assistance.
The agricultural, forestry and fishing sector is heavily represented, employing residents at 2.1 times the regional average rate. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a smaller footprint, accounting for 11.6% of employment compared to 16.8% across the region. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce suggests that local job opportunities are relatively scarce. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that the labour force shrank by 2.3% and employment dropped by 1.9% during the year to March 2026, which resulted in unemployment decreasing by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Vic. experienced a 0.1% decline in employment, a 0.3% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point reduction in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts released in May-25 provide additional context for anticipating future demand in Nagambie. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to project growth trajectories. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-level estimates are applied to Nagambie's current employment composition, the area is expected to see a 5.4% rise in employment over five years and an 11.9% increase over ten years, though this calculation relies on a basic weighting method for illustrative purposes and excludes localized population 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 — 342 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,537 at the 2021 Census → 5,080 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.
