Community profile and demographics
Shellharbour City demographics online
How many people live in Shellharbour City? How many recently arrived? From where? How old are they? Where do they work? How much income do they have? How many people are studying and where?
We provide this important demographic information, freely available for use by local businesses, potential investors, educational institutions, community groups, students and the general public.
Shellharbour City continues to home a high proportion of young families, particularly in our new release areas of Shell Cove and Flinders and is expected to continue to be one of the youngest populations in New South Wales. However, our existing suburbs such as Warilla, Mount Warrigal, Barrack Point and Barrack Heights tend to show a trend of an ageing population, with the number of people over the age of 65 set to double over the next 20 years.
REMPLAN provides access to detailed demographic data for 1991 to 2011 Census years, economic data and maps for up to 114 industry sectors as well as population and employment forecasts. For more information see related links.
The Shellharbour City Community Profile includes results from the 2011, 2006, 2001, 1996 and 1991 Censuses of Population and Housing and is formatted to present the data in simple, clear tables and charts with concise factual commentary.
The Community Atlas includes key socio-demographic characteristics for Shellharbour City presented as interactive maps. Based on data from the 2011 and 2006 Census of Population and Housing (Australian Bureau of Statistics), each map is prepared using Census Collector Districts providing the finest level of detail to help identify spatial patterns and trends in the City.
The Shellharbour City Population Forecasts provides population projections up to the year 2036 for the City of Shellharbour and its suburbs. Based on Census data, building and construction statistics, and land supply analysis, the forecasts are an important tool for Council, businesses, service providers and the community in planning for the needs of our future population.
A Background Document has also been developed to provide a summary of the Forecasts and provide an overview of the methodology applied to prepare them. See related files.
