Tatton

Tatton is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of Nov 2025, the population of the Tatton statistical area (Lv2) is estimated at around 2,640 people. This reflects an increase of 80 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,560. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 2,611 as of June 2024, based on examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS, and an additional 46 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 1,491 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Tatton (SA2) has experienced a population growth of 3.1% since the census, positioning it within 0.8 percentage points of the SA3 area's growth rate of 3.9%. This growth was primarily driven by natural growth, contributing approximately 55.00000000000001% of overall population gains during recent periods.

For demographic projections, AreaSearch is adopting 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 released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 are utilized. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. According to these projections, over this period, the Tatton (SA2)'s population is expected to decline by 238 persons by 2041. However, growth across specific age cohorts is anticipated, led by the 85 and over age group, which is projected to expand by 61 people.
