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
Tumut has an estimated 6,621 residents, down from 6,667 at the 2021 Census. 134 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 164 residents on each square kilometre. 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 research by AreaSearch, Tumut records an estimated population of 6,621 as of Aug 2026. This marks a contraction of 46 people (0.7%) compared to the 6,667 residents tallied during the 2021 Census. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 6,609 recorded in June 2025 alongside 134 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. With this resident count, the locality maintains a density of 164 persons per square kilometer, ensuring ample living room and capacity for subsequent expansion. Over the preceding ten-year timeframe, the township exhibited stable expansion with a 0.3% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3 area.
Inward overseas migration served as the principal, virtually solitary engine of local demographic increases over recent times. Population modelling utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 baseline), supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (using a 2021 baseline) where necessary. Cohort growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward across all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, Tumut is expected to mirror the lower quartile expansion benchmark for regional Australia, adding 211 persons to 2041 based on recent annual ERP figures, representing a cumulative rise of 3.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
113 new dwellings have been approved in Tumut over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That is 3.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% 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 across Tumut have averaged approximately 22 per year, accumulating to 113 homes during the last 5 financial years. In light of recent population contractions, new housing construction has comfortably kept pace with local demand, providing prospective buyers with sound choice, with additions reflecting an average expected construction cost of $461,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $42.3 million across this financial year, underscoring substantial non-residential investment. Building activity per resident in Tumut has outpaced the Rest of NSW benchmark by 20.0% over the 5 year period, sustaining healthy options for buyers while underpinning existing residential asset values.
Conversely, this volume tracks behind the broader Australian benchmark, reflecting established settlement patterns and possible local planning limits. Of newly authorized dwellings, 91.0% comprise standalone houses, with the remaining 9.0% representing townhouses or apartments, reinforcing the region's low-density, family-oriented neighborhood profile. A metric of 369 people per dwelling approval indicates a tranquil, low-intensity construction pipeline. Longer-term projections indicate that Tumut will gain 199 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Provided present construction velocity persists, residential supply should readily accommodate incoming demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic growth beyond baseline estimates.

The project spans the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional, Yass Valley and Snowy Valleys council areas. When operational, it is expected to power around 410,000 homes and avoid approximately 300,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The project is a State Significant Development (SSD-96381708) currently at the Prepare EIS stage with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
HumeLink
HumeLink is a 500kV transmission line spanning approximately 385 km connecting Wagga Wagga, Bannaby, and Maragle in NSW. Delivered in two sections (HumeLink East by ACCIONA and GenusPlus Group JV; HumeLink West by UGL and CPB Contractors JV), main construction commenced in late September 2025 following state and federal planning approvals in late 2024 and a Final Investment Decision by Transgrid's Board in December 2024. The project will unlock Snowy 2.0's full 2,200 MW capacity, connect renewable energy from the South West Renewable Energy Zone, and deliver an estimated $6.3 billion in direct and indirect regional economic investment.New 500 kV substations are being built at Gugaa and Maragle, with upgrades at Bannaby and Wagga Wagga. Over 700 construction workers are now on site, with completion targeted for 2027.
2,995 residents of Tumut are employed, from a labour force of 3,113. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 57.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.4% 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
Tumut's local labour market features a mix of white-collar and industrial positions, anchored by prominent manufacturing operations and an unemployment rate of 3.8%. Total employment stood at 2,995 residents as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 0.3% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%. Labour force participation is comparatively modest at 57.8%, underperforming the Regional NSW rate of 60.6%. At the Census, only 5.7% of workers reported working from home, a figure potentially influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Manufacturing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade represent the largest employer categories for local workers.
Manufacturing stands out as a core local specialization, capturing an employment concentration 2.7 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, the professional & technical sector engages only 2.2% of the local workforce, trailing the Regional NSW level of 5.1%. Comparing resident worker counts with local employment figures suggests a significant segment travels beyond the area for daily work. According to combined ABS and SALM figures evaluated by AreaSearch, the recent 12-month period saw the local labour pool shrink by 3.5% alongside a 3.3% reduction in employed residents, bringing unemployment down by 0.2 percentage points. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in jobs, a 0.4% decline in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term sector projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context for future employment demand. Nationally, employment is modelled to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary widely across industries. Applying these sectoral weightings to Tumut's specific industry distribution indicates a potential local employment increase of 5.4% over five years and 12.1% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation serves illustrative purposes and excludes local demographic forecasts).

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 — 134 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,667 at the 2021 Census → 6,621 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.
