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
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that Tomerong - Wandandian - Woollamia has reached a population of approximately 3,870 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 162 residents (4.4%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 3,708 people. This updated count builds on the ABS estimated resident population of 3,860 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 62 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With a population density of 10.3 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers considerable space across its expanse. The district's 4.4% expansion rate following the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (3.1%) and the wider SA3 area, establishing it as an area of notable growth.
Natural increase served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 46.8% of recent population gains, complemented by positive net contributions from overseas migration and interstate migration. Projections for each SA2 district are sourced from ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, with unlisted localities modeled on NSW State Government SA2 figures released in 2022 using 2021 as a base. Age cohort growth trajectories from these sources are extended across all districts through the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Under this framework, future demographic models project a net decline in total population, contracting by 110 persons by 2041. In contrast, select older cohorts are slated to expand, headed by the 85 and over age group with an anticipated increase of 115 people.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,222, about 83% 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 labour market in Tomerong - Wandandian - Woollamia exhibits solid technical capability and strong representation in core services, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 2.1% alongside steady annual job conditions. In terms of headcounts as of March 2026, 1,874 residents are actively working, with local joblessness sitting 2.0% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, while labour force participation is moderately reduced at 58.3% versus 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records further indicate that 14.2% of employed residents operated from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
Resident employment centers predominantly on construction, health care & social assistance, and public administration & safety. Construction represents a distinct regional specialization for the area, capturing an employment share 1.5 times the regional level. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a smaller footprint, employing 2.4% of workers compared to 5.3% regionally. Comparing resident workers against jobs located within the boundaries indicates that local employment capacity remains comparatively restricted. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026 shows total employment expanding by 0.2% against a 1.2% growth in the labour pool, resulting in a 1.0 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. By comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in total jobs, a 0.4% contraction in its labour force, and a 0.5 percentage points rise in unemployment. Forward-looking employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide further context on potential occupational shifts within Tomerong - Wandandian - Woollamia. While overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry trajectories vary widely. Aligning these sectoral outlooks with the local workforce profile suggests potential employment gains of 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years for Tomerong - Wandandian - Woollamia (an illustrative industry weighting model that excludes localized demographic 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 — 62 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,708 at the 2021 Census → 3,870 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (114011281). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
