Sales Detail
Tatton has an estimated 2,634 residents, up from 2,560 at the 2021 Census — a change of 74 people, or 2.9%. That puts 1,488 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions and post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Tatton has reached an estimated population of roughly 2,634 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2,560 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census, this denotes an expansion of 74 people (2.9%). This demographic adjustment is drawn from an estimated resident count of 2,620 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 46 validated new addresses logged post-Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,488 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the nationwide benchmark assessed by AreaSearch.
Moreover, the suburb of Tatton outperformed the broader SA4 region (2.4%) with its 2.9% rise since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional pacesetter. Natural increase served as the principal catalyst for local demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 55.00000000000001% of total additions in recent times. Projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (based on 2021) wherever gaps exist. Age-specific trajectory rates from these datasets are projected forward for 2032 through 2041 across all localities. Over this forward-looking timeframe, long-term demographic modelling points toward an overall reduction, projecting the population of the suburb of Tatton to contract by 227 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, certain cohorts will experience expansion, most notably the 85 and over age group, which is slated to increase by 65 people. Further details are outlined in the age analysis section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Tatton over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 3.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 26, 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
Analysis of ABS residential approval statistics compiled by AreaSearch shows the suburb recorded an annual average of approximately 13 residential approvals, accumulating to an estimated 67 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 26 approvals have been documented. Because the suburb added an average of only 0.3 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), building supply is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand, expanding options for purchasers and facilitating demographic gains beyond anticipated baselines. Concurrently, average anticipated construction costs for new dwellings sit at $591,000, illustrating an emphasis by builders on upscale, premium residential developments.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $1.7 million during the current financial year, highlighting subdued commercial building activity. Per capita building volumes in the locality track at roughly 75% of the Rest of NSW benchmark, while nationwide comparisons position it in the 79th percentile, underpinned by a recent uptick in building approvals. Detached houses constitute 90.0% of recent residential building activity compared to 10.0% across medium and high-density housing types, reinforcing an established low-density neighborhood fabric centered around spacious family properties. With approximately 127 people per dwelling approval, the local residential sector remains distinctly low density. Given population projections pointing to flat or contracting numbers, residential demand pressures may ease, generating advantageous buying conditions across the property landscape.

1,380 residents of Tatton are employed, from a labour force of 1,390. Unemployment sits at 0.7%, with participation at 65.5%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,993, 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
A highly qualified workforce characterizes the local area, marked by substantial representation across core service industries and a remarkably low unemployment rate of 0.7%, based on regional statistical aggregations by AreaSearch. There are 1,380 residents in work as of March 2026, while local joblessness tracks 3.4% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, accompanied by a conventional participation rate of 65.5% versus 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census figures indicate that a modest 10.8% of employed individuals worked from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions provide essential context. Local resident employment is concentrated heavily across health care & social assistance, education & training, alongside public administration & safety.
A notable concentration exists within health care & social assistance, where local job share exceeds regional levels by 1.3 times. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.6% of the workforce compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW, showing clear under-representation. Comparing resident numbers against the Census working population highlights that local employment generation remains limited within this largely residential district. SALM and ABS data reviewed by AreaSearch across aggregated regions show that in the year to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 3.3% while overall employment fell by 3.2%, preserving a stable jobless percentage. Over the same span, Regional NSW registered a 0.9% drop in employment alongside a 0.4% contraction in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in joblessness. Broader directional insights can be drawn from the Mar-26 national employment forecasts by Jobs and Skills Australia. Projecting these five- and ten-year national trajectories onto the local industry structure suggests local employment may climb by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, contrasted against nationwide expectations of 6.6% and 13.7% over five and ten years respectively (note that this utilizes industry weighting for illustrative modeling and excludes local population dynamics).

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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,560 at the 2021 Census → 2,634 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.
