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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie stands at approximately 10,028 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 250 residents (2.6%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,778 individuals. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 10,011 from June 2025 alongside 211 validated new addresses registered since the census date. The resulting population density is 2.0 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial space per resident. The post-census expansion of 2.6% in Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie is within 2.2 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (4.8%), indicating solid growth characteristics.
The main driver of this population increase in recent times has been overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 67.3% of the total population gains. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this dataset, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these sources are extended to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on ongoing demographic patterns, the region is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the median for regional parts of Australia. Over the 16 years leading up to 2041, the population is anticipated to grow by 708 residents, representing a total increase of 6.9% relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% nationally over five years.

The working-day population is estimated at 9,159, 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 workforce in Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie displays a balanced mix of professional and manual labor roles across various industry sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.4%. As of March 2026, there are 4,842 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.3% higher than the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%. Workforce participation is generally aligned with the Regional NSW figure of 60.6%. Census data reveals that a modest 13.3% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures. The primary employment fields for local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
The region shows a particularly high concentration of workers in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with local employment share reaching 4.0 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is less prevalent locally, accounting for only 13.0% of the workforce compared to 16.9% across Regional NSW. A comparison between the census working population and the resident population suggests a restricted number of local employment opportunities within the immediate area. According to analysis by AreaSearch utilizing SALM and ABS statistics, the workforce contracted by 4.2% and total employment fell by 5.3% over the 12-month period, leading to a 1.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labor force shrink by 0.4%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.5 percentage points. Future labor demand in Tocumwal - Finley - Jerilderie can be analyzed using the national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year national growth estimates have been applied to the local industry mix to project regional employment changes. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry-specific national projections to the local employment structure indicates that local jobs could grow by 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific local population trends.

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 — 211 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,778 at the 2021 Census → 10,028 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (109031185). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
