Detail
Following an examination of ABS demographic data updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Tea Gardens has an estimated population of 3,357 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 69 people (2.1%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,288 residents. The variation is derived from a resident count of 3,356, estimated by AreaSearch analyzing the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and 58 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population scale translates to a density ratio of 41 persons per square kilometer, indicating a setting with considerable space per individual.
Over the last ten years, the suburb of Tea Gardens has shown stable expansion patterns with a 1.7% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the SA3 region. Population growth in the locality was mostly driven by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 78.0% of the overall population gains during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the anchor year. For any SA2 regions lacking this dataset, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline year. Expansion rates by age bracket from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, population growth above the median for locations outside capital cities is expected, with the area projected to increase by 531 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, showing a rise of 15.8% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
100 new dwellings have been approved in Tea Gardens over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 6.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 80% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, well below 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval statistics distributed from statistical area records, Tea Gardens has averaged approximately 20 new dwelling approvals annually, with an estimated 100 homes approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 10 so far in FY-26. With an average of 1.6 new residents per year arriving for each new home over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply and demand seem well-proportioned, generating balanced market conditions, though recent figures indicate this has declined to 0.8 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, pointing to more balanced supply conditions.
New residences are being constructed at an average value of $589,000, revealing that developers are targeting the premium market with high-end projects. There have also been $847,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, showing minimal commercial development activity. Compared to Rest of NSW, Tea Gardens maintains comparable construction rates (per person), reinforcing market stability in line with regional trends. New building projects consist of 80.0% detached houses and 20.0% townhouses or apartments, retaining the area's low density character with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. The location has approximately 240 people per dwelling approval, showing a low density market. Demographic projections indicate Tea Gardens will add 530 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Current construction rates seem aligned with future demand, promoting steady market conditions without significant price pressure.

844 residents of Tea Gardens are employed, from a labour force of 878. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 27.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Tea Gardens has a balanced labor force spanning white and blue collar employment, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.9%, and 2.8% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026844 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.2% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation lags significantly (27.4% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 19.7% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Leading employment industries among residents comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food. The area shows particularly strong specialization in health care & social assistance, with an employment share of 1.2 times the regional level. Conversely, education & training shows lower representation at 4.8% versus the regional average of 9.6%. The area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment increasing by 2.8% alongside labour force increasing by 2.0%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 0.8 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW recorded employment decline of 0.9%, labour force decline of 0.4%, with unemployment rising 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Tea Gardens. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Tea Gardens's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 58 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,288 at the 2021 Census → 3,357 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.
