Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Tallawong is estimated to have a population of approximately 8,743, drawing on broader ABS updates and post-Census address validations conducted by AreaSearch. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 6,570 people, this represents an expansion of 2,173 people (33.1%). The assessment incorporates AreaSearch's evaluation of the ABS June 2025 ERP release, which indicated 7,537 residents, alongside 1,804 validated new addresses added following the Census date. With a density of 2,401 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the upper quartile across Australia.
This 33.1% population increase since the 2021 census outstripped both Greater Sydney and NSW overall (7.3%), establishing the suburb as an area leader in demographic expansion. Inflows from interstate migration formed the primary growth mechanism by generating around 74.0% of recent gains, supported by positive contributions across overseas arrivals and natural increase. Projections for each SA2 across the suburb of Tallawong utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data anchored to a 2022 base year, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government releases using a 2021 base year where coverage requires. Projections from 2032 to 2041 incorporate age-cohort growth rates derived from these datasets. Looking ahead to 2041, the suburb of Tallawong is anticipated to experience exceptional expansion that places it within the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide, gaining an estimated 5,384 persons to record total growth of 45.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,779 new dwellings have been approved in Tallawong over the past five years, an average of 355 a year. That places the area in the 88th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 41 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 247 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 24% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 74, well below 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 ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that the locality has maintained an average of approximately 355 residential approvals per year. Across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, a total of 1,779 homes were approved, with 74 recorded to date in FY-25. The ratio of new residents per approved dwelling averaged 1.7 per year between FY-21 and FY-25, pointing to balanced market conditions, which further eased to 0.8 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years to indicate expanded supply. The average construction value of approved dwellings stands at $509,000.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $9.7 million during this financial year, reflecting a moderate volume of non-residential development. Per capita residential approvals in the district exceed Greater Sydney by 128.0%, providing prospective purchasers with considerable choice despite a recent moderation in construction volume. This elevated approval rate substantially outpaces national figures and underscores high developer interest. Attached housing accounts for 76.0% of new residential activity compared to 24.0% for detached dwellings, offering affordable pathways that cater to downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. This shift marks a distinct departure from the existing dwelling stock (which sits at 86.0% houses), adapting to limited land availability, evolving resident preferences, and affordability considerations. With roughly 104 people per dwelling approval, the district displays clear hallmarks of a high-growth corridor. Projections indicate that the district will add 3,992 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction trajectories appear well-positioned to satisfy incoming housing demand, ensuring favorable market conditions for purchasers while providing capacity to accommodate growth beyond baseline demographic forecasts.

2,962 residents of Tallawong are employed, from a labour force of 3,005. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 55.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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 7,755, about 89% 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
The local labour market is characterized by an educated profile with prominent representation across professional services and a minimal unemployment rate of 1.4%, according to aggregated statistical data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,962, with the local unemployment rate sitting 2.7% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, while workforce participation stood at 55.5% against the metropolitan figure of 68.9%. Census records showed 50.7% of workers operating from home, an outcome influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Key fields of resident employment comprise health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade.
The workforce shows a distinct concentration in finance & insurance, where employment reaches 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, education & training accounts for 7.1% of workers compared to the broader regional level of 8.9%. A comparison of resident workers against the local daytime workforce indicates that the suburb functions predominantly as a residential base with limited local commercial employment. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures across the year to March 2026, both the local workforce and total employment contracted by 18.9%, leaving unemployment levels essentially steady. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded an increase of 1.9% in employment and 1.9% in the labour pool, alongside a slight reduction in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide an outlook on future occupational requirements. Countrywide employment is anticipated to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying across sectors. Weighting these projections against the area's specific workforce suggests local employment could expand by 6.9% across five years and 14.1% across ten years, representing an illustrative industry-based extrapolation without local population modeling.

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 — 1,804 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,570 at the 2021 Census → 8,743 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.
