Sales Detail
Table Top has an estimated 1,838 residents, up from 1,516 at the 2021 Census — a change of 322 people, or 21.2%. Growth has averaged 4.0% a year over five years, faster than 91% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 73.0% of that increase. Density is about 11 people per 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside validated new addresses recorded since the Census, the suburb of Table Top reaches an estimated population of approximately 1,838 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 322 people (21.2%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 1,516 people. Such growth stems from an estimated resident count of 1,808 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, combined with 72 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 10.5 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains exceptionally low density and generous personal space.
Table Top's 21.2% expansion pace outstripped both the Rest of NSW (5.1%) and the wider SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth frontrunner. Inbound interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 73.0% of recent population additions, while overseas migration and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. Demographic modelling by AreaSearch incorporates the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 benchmarks, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 releases with a 2021 base year. Age-cohort expansion rates from these series are extended across all localities through 2032 to 2041. Over the coming years, demographic projections place the suburb of Table Top within the upper quartile of regional Australian territories, anticipating an addition of 503 persons to 2041 via aggregated SA2 forecasts, which translates to an overall 16-year increase of 25.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
163 new dwellings have been approved in Table Top over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 39, 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
An analysis of ABS building consent records compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Table Top averages roughly 32 dwellings permitted per annum, accumulating to approximately 163 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 39 approvals have been logged. With an influx of 3.3 new residents per year per finished dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), local dwelling requirements significantly outpace building volume, typically stimulating upward price pressure and buyer competition. Furthermore, incoming dwellings reflect an expected construction cost of $540,000 on average—above broader regional benchmarks—highlighting a preference for premium builds.
Meanwhile, commercial development remains minimal, with commercial approvals totalling $1.4 million recorded during the current financial year. Per capita residential building activity in Table Top sits 149.0% above the Rest of NSW benchmark, affording prospective purchasers expanded options. This pace also substantially eclipses the national rate, underscoring elevated developer confidence in the area. Furthermore, approved construction consists exclusively of standalone houses, preserving the neighbourhood's low-density profile and prioritising family residences that cater to buyers seeking space. An average of approximately 57 people per dwelling approval reflects a developing residential market. Looking forward, Table Top is projected to add 473 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly benchmark. Sustained at prevailing levels, future residential construction should amply satisfy buyer demand, fostering favourable market conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion above current baseline projections.

The plan aims to guide the release of land, ensuring integrated urban development and associated infrastructure, with a recommended 2,000my lot size. The Council is committed to providing initial infrastructure, with costs to be recovered via a Section 94 Development Contributions Plan. The strategy identifies a demand for approximately 30-35 new residential dwellings per annum since 2015.
1,104 residents of Table Top are employed, from a labour force of 1,138. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 80.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,371, about 75% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Table Top possesses a capable labour base with substantial participation in critical service industries, maintaining an unemployment rate of merely 3.0% based on statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,104, while local joblessness stood 1.1% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW. The workforce participation rate of 80.3% significantly surpasses the Regional NSW benchmark of 60.6%. Census findings indicated that 17.9% of local workers performed their duties from home, a figure potentially influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The building sector features pronounced local prominence, with construction workforce engagement standing at 1.5 times the regional norm. In contrast, the accommodation & food sector accounts for a smaller share of 3.3% relative to the 7.8% seen regionally. Comparisons between Census resident workers and local employment counts suggest limited workplace positions situated directly within the immediate community. Drawing on ABS and SALM metrics aggregated across wider statistical areas, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw Table Top's workforce size contract by 1.1% alongside a 2.3% decrease in employed persons, driving a 1.2 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe across Regional NSW, employment retreated by 0.9%, the labour pool diminished by 0.4%, and joblessness climbed 0.5 percentage points. Future workforce requirements can be evaluated against Jobs and Skills Australia national industry outlooks from Mar-26. While nationwide projections forecast aggregate job expansion of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, trajectories vary notably by sector. Applying these industry weightings to Table Top's specific workforce structure suggests potential local employment gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.2% across ten years (representing an illustrative sectoral weighting model without factoring in specific 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 — 72 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,516 at the 2021 Census → 1,838 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.
