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
Tara has an estimated 4,033 residents, up from 3,851 at the 2021 Census — a change of 182 people, or 4.7%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 315 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Tara stands at approximately 4,033 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 182 individuals (4.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,851 residents. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,030 and 315 validated new addresses identified after the Census. With these figures, the population density is 0.30 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial space per inhabitant. The 4.7% expansion rate of Tara since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (3.5%), positioning it as a local growth frontrunner.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 39.4% of total population increases, though all components, such as interstate migration and natural increase, registered positive gains. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 locality. In instances where these datasets are unavailable, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 baseline data are applied instead. Because state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking at future demographic trends, the methodology forecasts a population contraction for the locality, with a projected loss of 241 residents by 2041. In contrast, certain age groups are expected to grow, particularly the 75 to 84 bracket, which is forecast to rise by 52 individuals. The age analysis section offers further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
22 new dwellings have been approved in Tara over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Building approvals in Tara run at about 4 dwellings per year, with 22 residential properties approved during the five financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 10 approvals recorded in FY-26 so far. With an average of 5.3 new inhabitants per constructed dwelling arriving annually over the five financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand is running ahead of supply, which generally drives up property values and intensifies buyer competition. The average construction value for these new homes is $198,000, which falls below the regional baseline and points to more budget-friendly purchasing options.
Additionally, commercial approvals of $4.3 million have been logged in the current financial year, showing a subdued level of commercial development activity. Tara generates roughly 69% of the per capita building activity seen in the Rest of Qld, ranking in the 34th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which translates to fewer purchasing options and supports demand for existing properties, even though building rates have risen recently. This volume falls below the national benchmark, reflecting the established state of the local market and suggesting potential planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent construction has consisted of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the community and appealing to purchasers seeking space. The ratio of 474 people in the area for every single approved dwelling underscores a quiet, low-scale development landscape. With population projections remaining flat or declining, Tara could experience reduced pressure on its housing stock, leading to positive conditions for prospective home purchasers.

The project was acquired by Pacific Partnerships from Renewable Energy Partners in 2023.
1,572 residents of Tara are employed, from a labour force of 1,796. Unemployment sits at 12.5%, with participation at 53.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.6% 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
The local labor market displays a mix of white-collar and blue-collar roles across multiple sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 12.5%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,572, while the unemployment rate was 8.6% higher than the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%, pointing to potential for economic improvement. Workforce participation is also lower at 53.8% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data shows that a notable 25.3% of workers operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are agriculture, forestry & fishing, education & training, and health care & social assistance.
The community displays a strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the employment proportion is 9.2 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, employing 7.6% of local workers compared to 16.1% across Regional Qld. The balance between the local working population and resident workers suggests that nearby employment opportunities are relatively scarce. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw the labor force grow by 2.2% while employment contracted by 1.9%, causing the unemployment rate to increase by 3.7 percentage points. For comparison, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% and the labor force expand by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in Tara. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry trends onto the employment profile of Tara indicates local employment expansion of 4.6% over five years and 10.5% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population 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 — 315 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,851 at the 2021 Census → 4,033 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.
