Detail
In the suburb of Towradgi, the population reached roughly 3,362 by Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining post-Census validated address counts with ABS regional figures. This marks a 3.7% gain (adding 121 people) above the 2021 Census tally of 3,241 people. In arriving at this figure, AreaSearch factored in the ABS June 2025 ERP release showing 3,355 residents alongside 24 validated new addresses recorded since Census night. Population density stands at 2,351 persons per square kilometer, which places the suburb in the upper quartile nationally across AreaSearch benchmarks. The suburb of Towradgi expanded at a 3.7% pace post-census, trailing the wider SA3 area (4.8%) by only 1.1 percentage points and confirming solid underlying growth fundamentals.
Inward overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 87.0% of recent population additions. Population projections produced jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 modelling released in 2022 (benchmarked to 2021). These aggregated frameworks further inform age-cohort trajectories between 2032 and 2041. Over the 16 years running to 2041, the suburb of Towradgi is forecast to outperform median growth rates across Australian non-metropolitan locations, expanding by 585 persons—an overall rise of 17.2% based on composite SA2 estimates.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
161 new dwellings have been approved in Towradgi over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That is 10.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 41% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across statistical geographies shows annual residential approvals in Towradgi averaging roughly 32 dwellings, accumulating to 161 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 13 approvals have been logged. Across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, population growth added an average of only 0.4 people annually for every home delivered, indicating that new construction is keeping pace with or outstripping local demand to give purchasers greater variety and support potential upside in demographic expansion. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $670,000, signaling a clear focus by developers on premium, higher-specification housing.
Furthermore, $5.5 million in commercial development approvals was recorded in the current financial year, underscoring subdued commercial construction. On a per-capita basis, building volumes in Towradgi exceed the Rest of NSW benchmark by 66.0%, creating wide choice for purchasers despite a recent cooling in approval momentum. This level sits well above nationwide norms, demonstrating substantial interest among developers. The current pipeline of approved construction is weighted toward medium and high-density housing at 59.0%, alongside 41.0% detached houses. This emphasis on denser formats introduces more accessible price points suited to first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers, representing a noticeable shift from the existing built form where detached dwellings make up 72.0%. Such changes reflect constrained land availability, evolving buyer preferences, and affordability considerations. Recording roughly 291 people per dwelling approval, the locality retains low-density urban attributes. Projections through to 2041 point to an addition of 578 residents in Towradgi relative to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. At prevailing rates of residential building activity, housing delivery is well placed to satisfy demographic demand, sustaining a supportive buying environment and potentially facilitating population growth beyond baseline projections.

8 Cannell Crescent Dual Occupancy & Subdivision
Demolition of existing structures and construction of a dual occupancy with Torrens title subdivision into two lots. The project was approved by Wollongong City Council in February 2026.
1,796 residents of Towradgi are employed, from a labour force of 1,859. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 64.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,614, about 78% 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
Towradgi possesses a capable local labor pool featuring solid representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of just 3.3%, and annual employment growth estimated at 3.1% through statistical area modeling by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,796, with local unemployment tracking 0.8% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Labor force participation is typical at 64.4%, compared with 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census returns revealed that 30.1% of working residents operated from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. A significant proportion of local workers are engaged across construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The community exhibits a strong concentration in education & training, where its share of employment reaches 1.4 times the regional figure. By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of workers against a 5.3% regional benchmark. Given the contrast between local resident workers and the daytime working population captured in the Census, this predominantly residential neighborhood generates comparatively few on-site job opportunities. ABS and SALM statistics compiled by AreaSearch indicate that across the 12 months leading to March 2026, both employment and the labor force grew by 3.1%, maintaining a steady unemployment level. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% contraction in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in joblessness. Future labor demand in Towradgi can be evaluated using national industry projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Applying these industry growth rates to the local employment distribution suggests Towradgi employment could expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years (representing an unadjusted sectoral weighting rather than a local demographic forecast).

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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,241 at the 2021 Census → 3,362 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.
