Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Thamarrurr

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Thamarrurr has an estimated 2,459 residents, up from 2,118 at the 2021 Census — a change of 341 people, or 16.1%. Natural increase accounts for 100.0% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, Thamarrurr has an estimated population of approximately 2,459 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 341 people (16.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 2,118 people were tallied. This updated total is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 2,459 recorded in June 2025 alongside post-Census address validation data. Consequently, population density stands at 0.70 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space. The region's 16.1% rate of expansion since the 2021 census outstripped both the territory and the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, positioning the locality as a premier growth market.

This demographic increase was overwhelmingly propelled by natural growth, serving as virtually the exclusive contributor to recent gains. Population projections for SA2 localities are derived from ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures. For territories omitted from this dataset, as well as for all post-2032 forecasting, AreaSearch integrates age-cohort expansion rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 utilizing 2022 figures. Looking forward, the locality is projected to experience population expansion tracking slightly below the nationwide regional median, adding 247 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which translates to a cumulative 10.0% gain across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Thamarrurr

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

Dwelling creation remains subdued throughout Thamarrurr, averaging 1 approved residential units per annum (totalling 7 approvals across a five-year timeframe). Such constrained building volumes reflect typical non-metropolitan environments characterized by modest shelter requirements alongside natural ceilings on local demand and utility capacity. Because aggregate approvals remain minimal, specific residential projects may heavily skew yearly expansion metrics and relative comparisons. Residential building volumes in Thamarrurr trail significantly behind Rest of NT, while similarly lagging nationwide trends. Furthermore, contemporary approvals consist exclusively of standalone residences, aligning with the district's non-urban nature that prioritizes larger parcels and open environs.

Fresh building activity emphasizes standalone housing even more heavily than existing housing stock metrics (76.0% at Census), underscoring sustained appetite for family-sized dwellings regardless of broader density considerations. Projected demographic shifts indicate Thamarrurr will expand by 247 residents leading up to 2041, based on recent quarterly modeling from AreaSearch. If residential building activity stays at its current pace, additions to the housing stock could fall behind population expansion, potentially heightening competition among prospective purchasers and reinforcing upward price momentum.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Thamarrurr

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

473 residents of Thamarrurr are employed, from a labour force of 657. Unemployment sits at 28.0%, with participation at 34.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. 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 Thamarrurr features a blend of professional and manual occupations alongside strong representation across vital services, operating alongside a 28.0% unemployment rate and 1.3% estimated annual workforce expansion. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 473, though the jobless rate stood 22.1% higher than the 5.9% benchmark in Regional NT, highlighting clear scope for labour market gains, while the 34.3% participation rate trailed significantly behind the regional level of 69.8%. Census findings revealed that only 1.3% of workers performed their duties from home, an observation that must be contextualized within Covid-19 restrictions.

Local employment is predominantly clustered within education & training, public administration & safety, as well as other services. Specialization is particularly pronounced in education & training, where local job concentration reaches 2.5 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, accommodation & food maintains a modest footprint, accounting for 1.7% of local positions compared to 6.9% regionally. Comparing Census working figures against total resident counts suggests the community provides relatively scarce employment opportunities internally. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the twelve months to March 2026, local employment grew by 1.3% while the labour force expanded by 2.7%, driving a 1.0 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NT experienced employment gains of 2.8% and a labour force uptick of 2.7%, alongside a slight contraction in joblessness. Further perspectives on prospective workplace demand across Thamarrurr are provided by national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated Mar-26. These five- and ten-year models have been calibrated against local employment distributions to evaluate emerging trajectories. Across Australia, workforce size is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry performance varies considerably. Projecting these sectoral trends onto the local occupational structure indicates Thamarrurr could see employment expand by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (noting this relies on weighted extrapolation for comparative illustration without adjusting for localized population trajectories).

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,118 at the 2021 Census → 2,459 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 (702031059). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Thamarrurr SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Thamarrurr page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Thamarrurr data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
