Raymond Terrace has an estimated 13,938 residents, up from 13,453 at the 2021 Census — a change of 485 people, or 3.6%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. 129 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 344 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
Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with fresh address validations from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Raymond Terrace has an estimated residency of 13,938 individuals in May 2026. This indicates a rise of 485 residents (3.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 13,453 individuals. The calculation relies on a local population estimate of 13,803 compiled by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 129 newly validated addresses since the Census date. This level of occupancy translates to a density of 344 persons per square kilometer, offering generous spatial distribution and opportunities for future expansion.
The 3.6% growth rate of the suburb of Raymond Terrace since the census lags by 1.3 percentage points behind the Rest of NSW (4.9%), yet displays competitive underlying growth patterns. Population gains were chiefly supported by interstate relocation, which accounted for approximately 45.0% of the total growth, though natural increases and overseas arrivals also contributed positively. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas where this is unavailable, NSW State Government projections from 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Projected growth rates by age bracket from these files are applied to all regions for the span from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic models suggest regional population expansion will exceed national medians, with the suburb of Raymond Terrace expected to add 2,079 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing a 13.9% total expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
174 new dwellings have been approved in Raymond Terrace over the past five years, an average of 34 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 77% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of building approval statistics indicates that the suburb of Raymond Terrace averages approximately 34 residential building approvals annually. Over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, a total of 174 dwellings were approved, with 28 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. The average construction value for new dwellings is $299,000, supported by steady demand where each new home corresponds to an average population increase of 2 residents per year between FY-21 and FY-25. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $23.7 million this financial year, pointing to steady business development.
When compared to the Rest of NSW, building activity in the suburb of Raymond Terrace is substantially lower, sitting 59.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. This restricted supply of new housing typically supports demand and valuations for existing stock. Local construction rates are also below the national average, suggesting a mature market or possible regulatory limits. Recent residential projects consist of 77.0% detached houses and 23.0% townhouses or multi-dwelling units, sustaining a low-density profile suited to buyers seeking space. The ratio of 789 people per single dwelling approval highlights a quiet development landscape. Long-term projections indicate the suburb of Raymond Terrace will gain 1,944 new residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates. If current building rates persist, the supply of new dwellings may fall short of demographic growth, which could intensify buyer competition and reinforce upward price trends.

5,707 residents of Raymond Terrace are employed, from a labour force of 6,227. Unemployment sits at 8.4%, with participation at 55.4%. 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. 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 workforce is evenly divided between professional and industrial occupations, with notable representation in manufacturing. The local unemployment rate stands at 8.4%, while employment growth over the past year is estimated at 2.5%. As of March 2026, there are 5,707 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 4.2% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, indicating potential for labor market improvement, while workforce participation is relatively low at 55.4% compared to 60.6% for Regional NSW. According to Census responses, a moderate 14.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The local labor market is heavily weighted toward transport, postal & warehousing, employing residents at 1.8 times the regional standard. Conversely, agricultural, forestry, and fishing sectors are underrepresented, accounting for 0.8% of employment compared to a regional average of 5.3%. The balance between the local working population and resident workforce suggests a shortage of job opportunities within the immediate area. Based on SALM and ABS statistics over the 12 months leading to March 2026, the number of employed residents grew by 2.5% while the labor force expanded by 0.7%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% decline in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future labor demands. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local industry mix. While national job numbers are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local workforce structure suggests employment in the suburb of Raymond Terrace could grow by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation.

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 — 129 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,453 at the 2021 Census → 13,938 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.
