Tascott

Tascott has shown very soft population growth performance across periods assessed by AreaSearch

As of November 2025, the estimated population of the Tascott statistical area (Lv2) is around 1,713. This reflects an increase from the 2021 Census figure of 1,675 people, marking a growth of 38 individuals or approximately 2.3%. This estimation is based on AreaSearch's validation of new addresses and analysis of ABS ERP data released in June 2024. The population density ratio stands at 804 persons per square kilometer, aligning with averages observed across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Since the census, Tascott's growth rate of 2.3% places it within 0.8 percentage points of its SA3 area's growth rate of 3.1%. The primary driver for this population growth was overseas migration, contributing approximately 87.0% of overall population gains.

AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections from 2022 with a base year of 2021 are used. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. According to these projections, the Tascott (SA2) population is expected to decline by 43 persons by 2041. However, specific age cohorts like the 75 to 84 group are anticipated to grow, with a projected increase of 37 individuals over this period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Tascott, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates that Tascott has experienced around 1 dwelling receiving development approval annually. Approximately 8 homes have been approved over the past 5 financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, with 1 more approved in FY-26. On average, new residents per year for every home built over these years is 3.1.

This indicates significant demand exceeding supply, typically leading to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction value of new homes is $418,000, which is moderately above regional levels, suggesting emphasis on quality construction. In FY-26, $1.5 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Tascott records markedly lower building activity, 75.0% below the regional average per person. This constrained new construction usually reinforces demand and pricing for existing dwellings.

This level is also under the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. Recent development has been entirely comprised of detached houses, preserving the area's low density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. The estimated population count per dwelling approval is 1698 people. Population projections indicate stability or decline, suggesting reduced housing demand pressures in Tascott, benefiting potential buyers.
