Sales Detail
Tannum Sands has an estimated 5,595 residents, up from 5,227 at the 2021 Census — a change of 368 people, or 7.0%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. Density is about 73 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Tannum Sands is estimated to have a population of approximately 5,595, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified following the Census. This represents an addition of 368 people (7.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,227 people. The updated estimate stems from a resident count of 5,531 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 15 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a resulting density of 72 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space and capacity for future expansion.
The suburb of Tannum Sands achieved 7.0% growth since census, trailing the broader SA4 region (7.6%) by just 0.6 percentage points to highlight solid expansion trends. Natural increase served as the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 38.0% of recent population additions, while interstate migration and overseas migration also delivered positive contributions. SA2 projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia using a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across each district. For projections extending beyond 2032 or covering locations omitted from that release, Queensland State Government SA2 figures released in 2023 based on 2021 numbers are incorporated. Because state-level modeling omits age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional cohort weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region 2023 dataset (utilizing 2022 baseline figures). Looking forward, demographic forecasts indicate that the suburb of Tannum Sands will expand at a pace slightly below the national regional median, adding 509 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates to achieve overall expansion of 8.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
101 new dwellings have been approved in Tannum Sands over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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 ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that the local development pipeline has approved around 20 dwellings annually, delivering an estimated 101 homes over the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 19 approvals have been logged. Over the past 5 financial years across FY-21 and FY-25, the addition of 1.9 new residents annually per built home suggests a balanced relationship between residential supply and demand, while the last 2 financial years recorded 1.4 people per dwelling, reflecting well-aligned conditions. The expected construction cost for newly approved homes averages $557,000.
In addition, $2.0 million in commercial building approvals occurred this financial year, underlining the district's predominantly residential character. Residential building activity in the locality is running 42.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period compared to Rest of Qld, supporting existing property values while ensuring adequate purchasing choices. Detached dwellings represent 70.0% of recent approvals while townhouses or apartments make up 30.0%, creating a diverse range of price brackets between standalone family residences and smaller attached options. An approval rate of around 155 people per approval underscores an active building market. Based on current quarterly metrics from AreaSearch, local residential headcount is projected to increase by 445 residents through to 2041. Sustaining current construction volumes will allow new housing delivery to comfortably absorb demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially facilitating growth exceeding existing forecasts.

2,920 residents of Tannum Sands are employed, from a labour force of 3,008. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 67.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,729, about 85% 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
Local employment is spread evenly across blue-collar and white-collar occupations, highlighted by substantial representation in the construction sector, alongside an unemployment rate of 2.9% according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, 2,920 residents are employed, with unemployment tracking 1.0% lower than the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor force participation stands at 67.8%, compared to 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records show 6.3% of workers working from home, a metric that may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident workers are primarily engaged in education & training, construction, and manufacturing.
Manufacturing exhibits notable local strength, with its workforce concentration reaching 2.9 times the regional proportion. In contrast, health care & social assistance accounts for 9.8% of local employment, below the regional benchmark of 16.1%. Comparing Census working population counts against resident workers indicates that internal employment opportunities within the area are somewhat restricted. According to AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM figures aggregated from surrounding statistical geographies, the 12 months to March 2026 saw the local labor pool shrink by 5.6% and total employed persons fall by 4.1%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage points drop in the jobless rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1%, labor force expansion of 0.3%, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements. Nationally, employment is modeled to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Weighting these projections against local occupational concentrations indicates potential employment expansion of 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years (noting this illustrative weighting model does not incorporate local population projections).

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,227 at the 2021 Census → 5,595 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 (SAL32742). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
