Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the wider region and verified addresses by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Tregear has a population estimated at approximately 4,008 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 308 people (8.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,700 people. The variance is calculated from the resident population of 3,999, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the newest ERP statistics released by the ABS (June 2025) and a further 15 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population size corresponds to a density of 2,443 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Tregear in the top quartile of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The 8.3% increase in the suburb of Tregear since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 region (3.6%) and the state, making it a regional leader in expansion. Population gains in the suburb of Tregear were mostly fueled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 57.99999999999999% of the overall population growth during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 localities missing from this dataset, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level forecasts, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline. Expansion rates for specific age groups from these datasets are also applied to all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, a population growth rate slightly below the national median is anticipated, with the suburb of Tregear projected to grow by 354 residents by 2041 based on these combined SA2-level forecasts, representing an overall rise of 8.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Tregear over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval statistics, distributed from regional data, shows that Tregear typically records about 9 dwellings gaining development approval each year, with approximately 47 residences approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 15 so far in FY-26. An average of 2.5 residents per year relocated to the area for each newly built home over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating solid demand that reinforces real estate values, with new dwellings being constructed at an average cost of $216,000—below regional benchmarks—suggesting more budget-friendly housing options for purchasers.
Furthermore, $78,000 in commercial development approvals have been logged this financial year, indicating a strongly residential focus. When contrasted with Greater Sydney, Tregear displays comparable per capita construction rates, maintaining a balanced property market in line with the broader metropolitan area. However, this is lower than the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential constraints on future development. Meanwhile, recent building projects consist entirely of detached dwellings, preserving the area's established suburban layout with an emphasis on single-family properties that attract buyers looking for space. With approximately 496 people per approval, Tregear showcases a mature market profile. Demographic projections indicate Tregear will add 345 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly dataset). Existing construction volume appears to match future demands, supporting balanced market conditions without driving up price pressures.

1,369 residents of Tregear are employed, from a labour force of 1,679. Unemployment sits at 18.5%, with participation at 55.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,252, about 81% 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
Tregear features a diverse workforce containing a mix of white and blue collar jobs across multiple industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 18.5% and a yearly job growth estimate of 3.0%, according to AreaSearch's compilation of local statistical data. As of March 2026, 1,369 residents are employed, whereas the unemployment rate is 14.3% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, showing opportunities for improvement, and workforce participation remains low (55.8% compared to Greater Sydney's 69.1%). Census records indicate that a moderate 17.1% of working residents performed their jobs from home, although this may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for working residents are health care & social assistance, transport, postal & warehousing, and retail trade. The locality displays a high concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, with a workforce share that is 2.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 2.6% of employment compared to 11.5% across the region. The residential nature of the suburb means local job vacancies are relatively limited, as shown by comparing the count of Census working residents against local jobs. Based on AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from regional data, during the year ending March 2026, employment figures expanded by 3.0% and the local labor force grew by 1.8%, leading to a reduction in the unemployment rate by 0.9 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, the labor force expand by 1.9%, and unemployment decline slightly. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Tregear. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry-specific projections to Tregear's unique employment composition suggests local employment is on track to rise by 5.8% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate 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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,700 at the 2021 Census → 4,008 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13952). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
