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
Tenterfield has an estimated 7,273 residents, up from 6,810 at the 2021 Census — a change of 463 people, or 6.8%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 299 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 82.2% 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 findings from AreaSearch, the resident count in Tenterfield stands at roughly 7,273 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 6,810 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a net expansion of 463 people (6.8%). This statistical adjustment incorporates an ABS estimated resident population of 7,188 as of June 2025 alongside 299 validated new addresses registered post-Census. Consequently, population density sits at 1.0 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space. Tenterfield outperformed both its broader SA3 area (2.8%) and surrounding SA4 region with its 6.8% expansion since the 2021 census, positioning it as a regional frontrunner in population growth.
Net interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 82.2% of recent overall demographic gains. Projections compiled by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) for SA2 locations, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2-level series (2021 base year) where necessary. Cohort-specific growth rates derived from these benchmarks are extended across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Under this forecasting approach, long-term demographic trajectories indicate a downward trajectory, contracting by 673 persons by 2041. In contrast to the overarching reduction, senior demographics will expand, highlighted by an increase of 196 people within the 85 and over age group. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
181 new dwellings have been approved in Tenterfield over the past five years, an average of 36 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% 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
Residential building approvals in Tenterfield have averaged roughly 36 new homes annually, totalling 181 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Underlying property values are supported by strong residential demand, averaging 2.3 new residents per year for each dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Construction costs remain relatively attainable, with newly approved homes averaging an expected value of $342,000, sitting below broader regional benchmarks. Concurrently, $3.7 million in commercial approvals was logged during the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area.
Relative to Rest of NSW, building activity on a per-capita basis is 88.0% higher in Tenterfield, expanding property options for prospective purchasers. Recent building consent has been exclusive to separate houses, reinforcing the low-density footprint of the township and appealing to lifestyle purchasers prioritising space. Recording roughly 181 people per dwelling approval, Tenterfield exhibits classic attributes of an active development market. Given that future demographic numbers are slated to plateau or decrease, housing demand in Tenterfield should ease, which may unlock favourable buying conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Molesworth Street Bridge Replacement and Sewer Line Relocation
Replacement of the flood-prone timber Molesworth Street Bridge over Tenterfield Creek with a resilient concrete structure designed to meet AS5100 and SM1600 standards. The project includes the relocation and betterment of an adjacent sewer line damaged in 2022. Bored piling works commenced in late 2025 following a $9.988 million investment from the Regional Roads Transport Recovery Package to ensure community connectivity and access to medical services during natural disasters.
Haddington Aged Care Community Expansion
The $11 million Haddington expansion added 28 brand new private suites with ensuites, increasing the facility's total capacity from 82 to 110 beds. The project features a country-style interior design with heritage colors and fireplaces, two new 'Households' connected by a country kitchen, and advanced cloud-based IT systems for mobile care delivery. It provides permanent, respite, and specialist memory support care for the Tenterfield community.
Tenterfield Heavy Vehicle Bypass
Proposed 4.5km heavy vehicle bypass to divert freight and heavy traffic off the New England Highway away from the Tenterfield town centre. The planning, concept design, and Review of Environmental Factors (REF) have been completed by Transport for NSW, with the project preserved in strategic planning pending future construction funding.
Mt Lindesay Road Upgrade - Legume to Woodenbong
Realignment, widening and pavement renewal along a 42 km section of Mt Lindesay Road between Legume and Woodenbong to improve road safety, heavy vehicle access and freight efficiency. The project remains under construction with Transport for NSW funded works continuing through the 2026-27 program. Current completion remains targeted for late 2026.
New England Highway Upgrade at Bolivia Hill
Upgrade of a 2.1km section of the New England Highway, including a realignment to remove dangerous curves and the construction of a 320m balanced cantilever bridge to improve safety and freight efficiency. The project opened to two lanes of traffic in September 2021.
Urbenville Water Treatment Plant Upgrade
A critical $3.5 million infrastructure project to expand and upgrade the Urbenville Water Treatment Plant, serving approximately 700 residents in Urbenville, Muli Muli, and Woodenbong. The upgrade included two new clarifier lagoons for pre-treatment of raw water from Tooloom Creek, a new bore and onsite storage tanks for backup supply, and an upgrade to the existing jetty offtake. The project improves water quality and bolsters drought resilience by helping the plant manage variable raw water quality.It was jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments and Tenterfield and Kyogle Councils.
The Avenues Stanthorpe
A multi-staged rural residential subdivision offering 14 large allotments ranging from 4,004m2 to 4,865m2, located adjacent to Quart Pot Creek in Queensland's picturesque Granite Belt. The development features serviced lots with town water, mains power, curb and channeling, and tree-lined footpaths. Positioned close to Stanthorpe CBD with convenient access to schools, shops, hospital services, and the region's renowned wineries.
14 Wallangarra Road Student Accommodation
Adaptive reuse of a former aged care facility (Stanthorpe Nursing Home) into student accommodation. The project involves retrofitting the existing 1,437 square meter building on a 3,826 square meter site to provide housing for regional students attending educational facilities in Stanthorpe, maximising the value of underutilised infrastructure.
3,103 residents of Tenterfield are employed, from a labour force of 3,292. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 53.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 market in Tenterfield displays an even distribution across blue-collar and white-collar roles across varied industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.7%. Employed persons numbered 3,103 residents as of March 2026. However, joblessness sits 1.6% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while economic engagement is substantially lower, with a participation rate of 53.7% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census figures indicated that 20.1% of working residents performed their duties from home, an outcome potentially influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident employment is concentrated primarily across agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
Agricultural, forestry & fishing industries represent a prominent local specialty, generating an employment concentration 4.2 times the regional norm. Conversely, health care & social assistance engages 11.9% of the local workforce, lagging behind the wider regional level of 16.9%. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workforce numbers suggests a constrained volume of local workplace opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over a 12-month period, the local workforce contracted by 2.1% while total jobs dropped by 4.9%, elevating the unemployment rate by 2.8 percentage points. For context, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in jobs, a 0.4% reduction in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Future labour demand can be evaluated using national industry projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. Projected nationally at 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, employment trajectories diverge considerably by sector. Projecting these sector benchmarks onto the existing local workforce structure indicates prospective employment gains of 5.5% over five years and 12.0% over ten years in Tenterfield (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Tenterfield is $885 a week (about $46,000 a year), with median personal income at $490 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $35,780 a year against an average of $44,630. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
ATO postcode statistics for financial year 2023 compiled by AreaSearch indicate personal earnings in the Tenterfield SA2 track under nationwide figures, showing a median assessed income of $35,780 and an average income of $44,630. These results sit well below Regional NSW levels, where the median is $52,390 and the average reaches $65,215. Incorporating a Wage Price Index rise of 10.32% since financial year 2023 brings estimated current earnings to roughly $39,472 (median) and $49,236 (average) as of March 2026. Census records place personal, family, and household earnings between the 1st and 3rd percentiles across the country.
Locally, the largest income bracket comprises 34.0% of residents (2,472 people) within the $400 - 799 weekly range, diverging from metropolitan areas where the $1,500 - 2,999 band is most common at 29.9%. Lower-earning homes are heavily represented, with 46.2% taking home under $800 weekly, highlighting financial vulnerability. Although housing costs consume relatively little cash flow—leaving 88.4% of earnings retained—overall net disposable income remains constrained at the 4th percentile nationally.

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 — 299 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,810 at the 2021 Census → 7,273 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.
