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 resident count of Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie reaches approximately 10,030 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 252 people (2.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 9,778 people were recorded. Such movement is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 10,011 as of June 2025 alongside 214 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With this population base, the local density stands at 2.0 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable spatial separation. The 2.6% post-census gain recorded across Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie sits within 2.2 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (4.8%), highlighting solid comparative momentum.
The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion was overseas arrivals, generating roughly 67.3% of total net additions across recent tracking intervals. Projections prepared by ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point, are utilized by AreaSearch for local SA2 modeling. Whenever specific SA2 districts lack this coverage, NSW State Government SA2 projections released in 2022 from a 2021 base are incorporated instead. Cohort-based age growth rates derived from these series are further applied across all localities for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, anticipated population expansion tracks just underneath the median for regional Australian catchments, with local numbers projected to expand by 710 persons by 2041 according to current annual ERP benchmarks, representing a cumulative rise of 6.9% across the 16 years.

Detail
Residential building approvals across Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie have averaged roughly 48 dwellings per annum, totaling 243 homes authorized over the recent 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because annual population additions averaged just 0.6 new residents per approved dwelling over the recent 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), residential development is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, broadening buyer opportunities and facilitating community growth that may outpace baseline forecasts, with newly built residences registering an average construction value of $450,000. Additionally, $13.5 million in commercial building permits were logged across the current financial year, demonstrating ongoing business development activity.
When evaluated against Rest of NSW, per-person residential construction across Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie is 13.0% lower, placing the region around the 60th percentile across all Australian areas. Detached houses account for 94.0% of recent approvals while 6.0% consist of townhouses or apartments, sustaining the district's low-density profile through a focus on separate dwellings suited to space-oriented buyers. An average ratio of roughly 234 people per dwelling approval further underlines the low-density character of Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie. Demographic modeling indicates that Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie will gain 691 residents by 2041 (benchmarked against the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures). With building activity proceeding at current volumes, residential additions appear well positioned to satisfy buyer demand, establishing favorable purchasing conditions while offering headroom for expansion beyond existing population forecasts.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,161, about 91% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 labor market in Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie exhibits an even distribution across white-collar and blue-collar occupations, supported by a broad mix of industries and an overall jobless rate of 4.4%. Current data as of March 2026 indicates that 4,842 residents are employed, with unemployment tracking 0.3% above the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, while overall labor participation aligns closely with the Regional NSW benchmark of 60.6%. Census figures showed a modest 13.3% of workers performing their duties remotely, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during that period should be taken into account.
Local employment is predominantly concentrated in agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, alongside retail trade. Agricultural, forestry, and fishing operations are particularly dominant, engaging workers at 4.0 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 13.0% of the resident workforce, trailing the Regional NSW level of 16.9%. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workers suggests a constrained volume of employment opportunities situated directly within the local catchment. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that the resident workforce contracted by 4.2% alongside a 5.3% reduction in working individuals over the 12-month period, which elevated the unemployment rate by 1.2 percentage points. Over the same interval across Regional NSW, total employment retreated by 0.9%, the overall labor pool shrank by 0.4%, and joblessness rose by 0.5 percentage points. Broader perspective on future workforce requirements in Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied against the local sector breakdown to outline potential employment paths. While overall national employment is expected to gain 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, projected expansion varies widely across sectors. Applying these sectoral trajectories to the existing industrial makeup of Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie suggests local job growth of 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years (note that this weighted distribution serves purely illustrative purposes and excludes specific local 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 — 214 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,778 at the 2021 Census → 10,030 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.
