Suburb profile

Nurran is a remote locality in Victoria, in East Gippsland Council.

Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. Trade-offs centre on weaker employment and thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary, with employment 56% below the peer median.

Few other published measures stand out from similar places, so this profile stays brief rather than filling gaps with unsupported detail about the locality.

Employment is the most material weakness.

Generated from the official metrics on this page. It can omit nuance or contain errors — check the tables and source notes before relying on it.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~0), extrapolated at +0.0% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
