Sales Detail
Tempe has an estimated 3,668 residents, up from 3,550 at the 2021 Census — a change of 118 people, or 3.3%. That puts 1,983 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 evaluations combining ABS population updates across the surrounding region with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Tempe is estimated to have a resident count of approximately 3,668 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 118 people (3.3%) over the 3,550 residents counted during the 2021 Census. Such growth is drawn from an estimated resident base of 3,660 determined by AreaSearch following the latest ABS ERP release in June 2025, alongside 2 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Tempe exhibits a population density of 1,982 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across nationally reviewed locations.
The 3.3% expansion recorded by the suburb of Tempe since the Census trails the broader SA3 benchmark of 6.2% by 2.9 percentage points, highlighting sound growth dynamics. Inbound international migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 71.0% of net population additions in recent times. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 (referencing 2022 as a base year) across individual SA2 zones, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government releases (anchored to 2021) wherever coverage gaps occur. Projected age cohort trends derived from these figures are carried forward across all localities spanning 2032 to 2041. In light of these demographic patterns, the suburb of Tempe is poised for above-median growth relative to other statistical districts monitored by AreaSearch, with forecasts pointing to an influx of 533 persons by 2041 under SA2 aggregation models—translating to a cumulative 16-year increase of 14.3%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
55 new dwellings have been approved in Tempe over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An evaluation of ABS residential building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Tempe averages approximately 11 residential consents annually, delivering an estimated 55 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, no building consents have been issued. Because an average of merely 0.8 incoming residents per dwelling was added each year between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is comfortably keeping pace with or exceeding demand, broadening buyer selection and supporting demographic growth that may outpace current projections. In addition, commercial planning approvals have reached $218,000 during this financial year, underscoring subdued commercial construction.
Per capita residential construction in Tempe sits at roughly half the rate recorded across Greater Sydney, placing the locality in the 66th percentile among nationwide benchmarks despite a recent pickup in activity. This below-average national volume reflects both the suburb's established character and potential planning hurdles. Furthermore, recent development has been comprised entirely of medium and high-density formats. Emphasising denser dwellings provides more accessible price thresholds that appeal to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This trend marks a pronounced shift away from the prevailing structure of 68.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of development parcels while accommodating emerging lifestyle choices and budget constraints. Accounting for approximately 192 people per residential approval, Tempe retains the hallmarks of a low-density environment. According to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Tempe is anticipated to gain 525 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing supply could find it difficult to satisfy incoming demand, potentially intensifying buyer competition and placing upward pressure on property values.

1,950 residents of Tempe are employed, from a labour force of 2,033. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 67.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,003, about 109% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Tempe possesses an accomplished, highly educated workforce with substantial standing in the technology industry, supported by a 4.1% jobless rate and annual employment growth estimated at 0.6% via AreaSearch statistical area compilations. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,950, with local unemployment mirroring the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1% and workforce participation closely tracking the metropolitan benchmark of 68.9%. Census records show a notable 52.3% of workers operating from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be taken into account. The primary employment sectors for local residents are professional & technical, education & training, along with health care & social assistance.
Concentration within education & training is especially prominent, tracking at 1.3 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance engages only 11.6% of working residents, sitting below the 14.1% mark seen across Greater Sydney. A Census-recorded ratio of 0.7 jobs for every resident highlights an above-average volume of local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch syntheses of ABS and SALM metrics across broader districts, local employment expanded by 0.6% alongside a 0.1% contraction in the labour force over the 12-month timeframe, leading to a 0.6 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same span, Greater Sydney posted a 1.9% rise in employment and a 1.9% increase in its labour pool, alongside a modest easing in joblessness. Looking ahead, national forecasts issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide perspective on local labour demand across five- and ten-year horizons when weighted against the suburb's current profile. Across Australia, workforce numbers are anticipated to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with sector-level outcomes showing substantial variation. Applying these sectoral trajectories to Tempe's employment structure points to potential local gains of 6.8% across five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this illustrative extrapolation relies solely on sector weighting without factoring in local 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,550 at the 2021 Census → 3,668 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13800). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
