Sales Detail
Towradgi has an estimated 3,360 residents, up from 3,241 at the 2021 Census — a change of 119 people, or 3.7%. That puts 2,350 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 the evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new address data validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Towradgi has a population estimated at approximately 3,360 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 119 individuals (3.7%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,241 residents. The adjustment is calculated from a resident population of 3,354, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures, combined with 12 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. This population size corresponds to a density of 2,349 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Towradgi in the top quartile of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth rate of 3.7% is within 1.0 percentage points of the SA3 area rate of 4.7%, showing competitive expansion. The main driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 87.0% of the overall population increases during recent periods. AreaSearch incorporates SA2 level projections released by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 areas are excluded from this dataset, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year are applied. Age group growth rates from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts indicate the suburb of Towradgi will experience population growth exceeding the median for national non-metropolitan locations, with an expected increase of 588 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 17.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
97 new dwellings have been approved in Towradgi over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 5.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 35% 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch, distributed from regional data, shows that the suburb of Towradgi averaged approximately 19 new residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 97 approved homes over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with 10 approvals registered during FY-26 so far. Over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, only 0.7 people moved to the locality for each finished dwelling, indicating that supply matches or exceeds local demand, which offers buyers more options and supports potential population growth. The average value of approved new dwellings stands at $555,000, pointing to a developer focus on high-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $5.5 million this financial year, which highlights the predominantly residential profile of the area. When compared to the Rest of NSW, the suburb of Towradgi exhibits comparable per-capita construction rates, maintaining a stable market balance aligned with the surrounding region. The mix of new housing approvals contains 35.0% standalone houses and 65.0% semi-detached, townhouse, or apartment units. This shift toward denser housing options provides accessible price points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. This represents a clear departure from the current housing stock, where houses make up 72.0% of properties, signaling a lack of vacant land and shifting preferences toward diverse, affordable housing. With approximately 86 individuals for every approval, the suburb of Towradgi remains a low density location. Projections indicate the suburb of Towradgi is set to add 582 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction is moving at a reasonable pace relative to this growth, although home buyers might face increased competition as the population climbs.

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.
1,789 residents of Towradgi are employed, from a labour force of 1,854. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 64.1%. 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 2,615, 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
Based on AreaSearch calculations from regional statistics, the suburb of Towradgi possesses a skilled labor pool with strong representation in essential service fields, a low unemployment rate of 3.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.9% over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,789, with the jobless rate tracking 0.7% lower than the 4.1% rate seen in Regional NSW, while workforce participation registered at 64.1% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates that 30.1% of working residents worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. Educational services show an exceptionally high concentration, representing 1.4 times the share of jobs found across the wider region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of the local workforce, well below the 5.3% average for Regional NSW. A comparison between the count of resident workers and those working locally indicates that this predominantly residential community offers limited local employment opportunities. According to SALM and ABS statistics compiled by AreaSearch for the 12 months ending March 2026, local employment grew by 2.9% while the labor force expanded by 3.0%, keeping the unemployment rate steady. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce profile to project growth. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce structure indicates employment for the suburb of Towradgi would increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population 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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,241 at the 2021 Census → 3,360 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.
