Sales Detail
Tatton has an estimated 2,639 residents, up from 2,560 at the 2021 Census — a change of 79 people, or 3.1%. That puts 1,491 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 analysis of ABS demographic updates for the broader zone, along with new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Tatton has an estimated population of 2,639 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 79 people (3.1%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 2,560 individuals. The calculation relies on a resident population of 2,624 estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 46 validated new addresses post-Census. With these figures, the population density stands at 1,491 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical ratio across Australian locations analysed by AreaSearch.
The 3.1% growth rate in the suburb of Tatton since the 2021 census was higher than both the SA4 region (2.2%) and the SA3 area, making the locality a regional frontrunner for expansion. Natural increase was the primary engine of growth, accounting for approximately 55.00000000000001% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections for each SA2 area are sourced from ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this data, NSW State Government projections from 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Age-specific growth patterns derived from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Under this approach, future demographics point to a shrinking population, with a projected reduction of 230 persons by 2041. Despite this overall contraction, some age brackets are set to grow, particularly the cohort aged 85 and over, which is expected to increase by 66 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
68 new dwellings have been approved in Tatton over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 5.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, running ahead of 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
ABS building approval statistics mapped to local areas show that the suburb of Tatton averages approximately 13 approved residential dwellings annually. A total of 68 houses received approval over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with an additional 25 approvals recorded during the current FY-26 period. With an average of only 0.2 people moving to the locality per year for each new home constructed between the 5 financial years of FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, boosting choices for buyers and allowing population gains to outpace forecasts.
New residential builds carry an average estimated construction cost of $564,000, suggesting that builders are focusing on higher-end properties for the premium market. Furthermore, commercial approvals total $1.7 million for this financial year, reflecting a quiet period for business development. Per capita construction activity in the suburb of Tatton aligns closely with the Rest of NSW, supporting property market equilibrium consistent with regional trends, even though local building approvals have slowed down recently. Standalone houses comprise the entirety of recent building approvals, preserving the classic family-oriented residential feel of the area. There are approximately 290 residents for every single building approval, pointing to a low-density property market. Faced with static or decreasing population projections, the suburb of Tatton might see reduced pressure on housing stock, which could create advantageous conditions for home buyers.

1,373 residents of Tatton are employed, from a labour force of 1,383. Unemployment sits at 0.7%, with participation at 65.4%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 2,001, about 76% 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
Data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that the suburb of Tatton has a highly qualified workforce with strong representation in vital services, alongside an exceptionally low unemployment rate of 0.7%. Working residents numbered 1,373 as of March 2026, and the local jobless rate is 3.4% lower than the 4.1% recorded in Regional NSW. Workforce participation stands at a typical 65.4%, compared to the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data reveals that a modest 10.8% of employed residents worked from their homes, though this figures reflects potential impacts from pandemic lockdowns.
The local workforce is heavily represented in healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety. Healthcare and social assistance is a notable specialization for the area, employing 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.6% of local employment, compared to 5.3% across the wider region. Given the discrepancy between local jobs and resident workers, the suburb of Tatton functions mostly as a dormitory suburb with limited local employment options. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from broader statistical regions, the local labour force contracted by 3.4% during the twelve months ending March 2026, while total employment fell by 3.4%, leaving unemployment levels virtually unchanged. This differs from Regional NSW, where employment shrank by 0.9%, the labour force dropped by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.5 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional context on future labour demand. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry-specific rates vary widely. Projecting these trends onto the local industry mix suggests employment for the suburb of Tatton could rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes).

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 — 46 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,560 at the 2021 Census → 2,639 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13790). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
