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 for Tuggerah - Kangy Angy stands at roughly 5,360 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,229 people, this represents an addition of 131 people (2.5%). This adjustment is derived from ABS estimated resident population figures showing 5,360 as of June 2025 alongside 78 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With 192 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains an expansive density ratio that leaves considerable room per inhabitant and opportunities for future expansion. The community's 2.5% post-census growth rate trails the broader SA4 region (3.4%) by only 0.9 percentage points, highlighting solid local momentum.
Net overseas arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 61.4% of total population additions over recent intervals. SA2-level projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline) are utilized by AreaSearch, while NSW State Government projections (released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline) supply data for unlisted SA2 districts. These aggregated cohorts also inform age-specific growth trajectories across all sectors from 2032 to 2041. Looking toward long-term demographic patterns, expansion is expected to track slightly beneath the nationwide median for statistical areas. Projections anchored on recent annual ERP population numbers anticipate the district will add 399 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 7.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential building approvals in Tuggerah - Kangy Angy totaled 17 homes, yielding an annual average of about 3 new dwelling approvals. Supply balanced incoming demand evenly across the 5 financial years from FY-22 to FY-26, averaging 1.4 people per year entering the district for every home completed. However, this metric rose to 9.8 people per dwelling throughout the last 2 financial years, underscoring rising interest in the district and emerging supply limitations. Construction costs average $334,000 per dwelling, sitting below standard regional levels and providing cost-effective opportunities for buyers.
Meanwhile, local commercial momentum remains robust, evidenced by $91.3 million in commercial development approvals registered during this financial year. Residential building output in Tuggerah - Kangy Angy trails Greater Sydney substantially, falling 85.0% below regional average per person. This subdued addition of stock tends to reinforce property values and elevate buyer interest across established residences. The pace of construction also lags behind national levels, indicating a mature market alongside potential building barriers. Standalone houses comprised the entirety of recent residential projects, preserving the neighborhood's established low-density setting and catering to households prioritizing living space. Homebuilders are delivering single-family houses at rates exceeding historical baselines (which stood at 80.0% at Census), demonstrating steady demand for family dwellings despite broader densification initiatives. An estimated 1781 people per residential approval emphasizes the subdued, low-volume development environment of the area. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, long-range forecasts project Tuggerah - Kangy Angy will expand by 399 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing output could lag demographic expansion, reinforcing market competition and applying upward pressure on residential valuations.

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 — 78 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,229 at the 2021 Census → 5,360 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.
