Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Tenterfield has a population estimated at approximately 4,321, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates and 116 validated new addresses post-Census. This figure represents an addition of 254 people (6.2%) relative to the 4,067 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, building upon the ABS June 2025 ERP assessment of 4,257 inhabitants. Spatially, this translates to a spacious density of 6.5 persons per square kilometer. Outperforming the wider SA3 area (2.8%) and the broader SA4 region, the suburb of Tenterfield established itself as a regional growth leader with its 6.2% expansion since the 2021 census.
Interstate arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 83.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. Projections for the suburb of Tenterfield draw from 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data (using 2022 as the base year) alongside 2022 NSW State Government releases (anchored to a 2021 base year) for SA2 coverage, with age-group trajectory rates applied across 2032 to 2041. Based on this methodology, demographic modeling points toward a prospective decline in overall numbers, projecting a net decrease of 364 persons by 2041. In contrast to this broader contraction, selective cohorts are set to expand, most notably individuals aged 85 and over, who are forecast to add 142 people. Further particulars are outlined in the age analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
74 new dwellings have been approved in Tenterfield over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. 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
Examining statistical area building approval data from the ABS, AreaSearch estimates that Tenterfield logs an annual average of about 14 residential approvals, amounting to 74 approved dwellings across the last 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 and FY-25), with 26 permissions granted to date in FY-25. Demonstrating underlying demand that helps bolster local asset values, the area tracked an average of 2.3 new residents annually per dwelling across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). New residential construction costs align with broad regional benchmarks at an average of $362,000 per dwelling.
Furthermore, the current financial year has generated $1.1 million in commercial building approvals, highlighting an ongoing emphasis on residential property development. Per capita residential building activity in Tenterfield exceeded the Rest of NSW regional benchmark by 48.0% across the 5 year span, supporting property valuations while ensuring ample choice for purchasers. Detached houses accounted for all new building activity in recent times, maintaining the district's low-density profile and attracting buyers in search of open space. Reflecting these low-density planning attributes, the locality records roughly 206 people per approved dwelling. Given demographic models signaling flat or shrinking population levels, future residential demand pressures in Tenterfield are likely to soften, presenting favorable conditions for incoming buyers.

1,837 residents of Tenterfield are employed, from a labour force of 1,924. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 53.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,527, about 82% 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
Workforce patterns across Tenterfield exhibit an even mix of white-collar and blue-collar occupations, underpinned by strong representation across essential services and a jobless rate of 4.5%, according to AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents tally 1,837 individuals. The local unemployment level stands 0.4% higher than the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, whereas the participation rate of 53.4% trails the 60.6% seen across Regional NSW. Census records also indicate that 14.3% of workers operated from home, a figure potentially influenced by pandemic lockdowns. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and agriculture, forestry & fishing.
Agricultural, forestry & fishing activities represent a notable local specialization, commanding a workforce concentration 2.1 times the regional norm. Conversely, health care & social assistance provides work for only 13.1% of the resident labour force, sitting below the 16.9% benchmark for Regional NSW. A comparison between the resident labour force and local Census employment counts highlights a relatively constrained base of local job opportunities. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM statistical data indicate that over the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 2.0% while employment dropped by 4.2%, lifting the unemployment rate by 2.2 percentage points. Across Regional NSW over the same timeframe, employment diminished by 0.9%, the overall workforce dropped by 0.4%, and joblessness grew by 0.5 percentage points. Broader national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements. Nationally, employment is projected to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Mapping these national industry forecasts against Tenterfield's specific job distribution indicates potential local job gains of 6.0% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (a basic weighted projection provided solely for illustration that excludes local demographic forecasts).

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 — 116 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,067 at the 2021 Census → 4,321 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.
