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.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Raymond Terrace is estimated to be approximately 15,492 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 904 residents (6.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 14,588 individuals. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 15,345 combined with 298 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Based on these figures, the population density stands at 141 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and room for potential future growth. The expansion rate of 6.2% since the 2021 census positioned Raymond Terrace ahead of the Rest of NSW (4.9%) and the surrounding SA3 region, making it a key local growth driver.
Natural increase was the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 55.6% of the population gains in recent times, though interstate migration, overseas migration, and other factors also played positive roles. AreaSearch utilizes population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, which use 2022 as their baseline year. In cases where SA2 regions lack this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. The age-specific growth rates derived from these sources are extended to project demographic changes from 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point to population increases that exceed the national median for regional areas, with Raymond Terrace projected to gain 2,224 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to a total growth of 13.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
339 new dwellings have been approved in Raymond Terrace over the past five years, an average of 67 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 50 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 74% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 61, broadly in line with 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
Approximately 67 residential development approvals are granted annually in Raymond Terrace, with 339 residential approvals registered over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and an additional 56 recorded during FY-26 so far. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, an average of 2.3 individuals moved into the locality for every newly built residence, pointing to solid demand that is likely to sustain local property values. Newly constructed homes carry an average building cost of $236,000, which falls below the regional average and offers more affordable entry points for home buyers.
Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $37.3 million during the current financial year, pointing to healthy corporate investment locally. The per capita rate of new residential approvals in Raymond Terrace is about three-quarters of the average across the Rest of NSW, placing the locality in the 47th percentile of all analyzed regions nationwide. This results in a somewhat restricted supply of new builds, which in turn channels buyer interest toward established properties. Detached housing makes up 74.0% of new construction activity, while attached options comprise the remaining 26.0%, preserving the low-density feel of the suburb and prioritizing spacious family residences. With an estimated 448 people per single dwelling approval, the locality displays a quiet construction environment with low development intensity. Long-term projections indicate that Raymond Terrace will add 2,077 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Construction activity is currently keeping pace with these population projections, although prospective buyers might face increased competition as the local population expands.

6,426 residents of Raymond Terrace are employed, from a labour force of 7,006. Unemployment sits at 8.3%, with participation at 55.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,163, about 117% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 in Raymond Terrace is evenly distributed between blue-collar and white-collar occupations, with a prominent industrial and manufacturing presence, an unemployment rate of 8.3%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.2% over the previous year. As of March 2026, there are 6,426 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 4.2% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, showing room for improvement, and the labor force participation rate of 55.9% sits below the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate 14.3% of the local workforce worked from home, though these figures may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. There is a notable concentration of workers in transport, postal & warehousing, which employs residents at 1.8 times the regional average rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents only a minor share of the workforce at 1.2%, compared to 5.3% across the wider region. At the time of the Census, there were 0.8 local jobs available for every resident worker, indicating an above-average level of local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026, the count of employed residents rose by 3.2% while the overall labor force grew by 1.4%, leading to a 1.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labor force contract by 0.4%, with its unemployment rate increasing by 0.5 percentage points. Broader trends in future labor demand can be gathered from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts released in May-25. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment shifts. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of expansion vary considerably across different industries. Applying these industry-specific trends to the employment distribution of Raymond Terrace suggests local job numbers could rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 298 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,588 at the 2021 Census → 15,492 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.
