This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Tregear has an estimated 4,026 residents, up from 3,700 at the 2021 Census — a change of 326 people, or 8.8%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 58.0% of that increase. That puts 2,455 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's evaluation of broader regional ABS population updates alongside validated new addresses recorded since the Census date, the suburb of Tregear reaches an estimated resident count of around 4,026 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 326 people (8.8%) over the 3,700 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from AreaSearch's assessment of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), showing a resident count of 4,014, combined with 20 validated new addresses added since the Census. With a resulting density of 2,454 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the upper quartile across national areas examined by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the suburb of Tregear outperformed both the state and the surrounding SA3 area (3.7%) with its 8.8% growth since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional pacesetter. Demographic expansion was predominantly powered by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 57.99999999999999% of recent population additions. Projections generated by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, released in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 regions, while NSW State Government projections from 2022 based on 2021 are referenced for locations omitted from that release. Age-group growth trajectories from these sources are likewise applied across all sectors for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking forward, the suburb of Tregear is anticipated to record demographic growth slightly under the national median, expanding by 360 persons up to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level figures, which represents an overall gain of 8.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
40 new dwellings have been approved in Tregear over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.2 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
An evaluation of statistical area ABS building approvals compiled by AreaSearch indicates that residential development in Tregear has tracked at approximately 8 dwellings approved annually, amounting to an estimated 40 homes across the past 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 16 approvals have been logged. Over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), construction has seen an average gain of 2.8 new residents per completed dwelling annually, demonstrating solid underlying demand supporting local real estate, while newly approved dwellings carry an average estimated construction cost of $238,000—below regional levels and indicating more accessible price points for new builds.
In addition, registered commercial development approvals for the current financial year total $78,000, pointing to muted commercial building activity. Per-capita residential approvals in Tregear stand at roughly three-quarters of the Greater Sydney rate, positioning the suburb in the 53rd percentile nationally, even though building pace has accelerated recently. Sitting below the national benchmark, this pattern reflects an established urban footprint with possible planning constraints. Of all recent building activity, detached houses made up 89.0% while medium and high-density housing comprised 11.0%, reinforcing the traditional family-oriented neighbourhood landscape that caters to those desiring space. Tracking at roughly 274 people per approval, the local property landscape signals a shifting market. Projections through to 2041 indicate that Tregear will add 348 residents based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Current building volumes appear well-matched to anticipated demographic needs, fostering steady market conditions free from substantial cost acceleration.

1,381 residents of Tregear are employed, from a labour force of 1,691. Unemployment sits at 18.3%, with participation at 55.9%. 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 3,265, 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
Local workforce figures compiled by AreaSearch across broader statistical areas show Tregear maintaining an even mix of white and blue-collar occupations across diverse sectors, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 18.3% and 3.1% in estimated annual job expansion. As of March 2026, employed residents stand at 1,381, though the jobless rate sits 14.2% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, underscoring opportunities for workforce improvement, while participation at 55.9% trails the Greater Sydney figure of 68.9%. Census records also reveal that 17.1% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though pandemic-related lockdown measures at the time should be noted.
Resident employment is primarily clustered within health care & social assistance, transport, postal & warehousing, and retail trade. Transport, postal & warehousing exhibits significant local concentration, capturing an employment share 2.6 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 2.6%, falling well short of the 11.5% regional standard. As shown by the disparity between Census working population and resident counts, this largely residential neighbourhood provides a restricted volume of internal jobs. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM data across wider statistical divisions, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment climb by 3.1% alongside a 1.9% expansion in the labour force, yielding a 1.0 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Over the same span, Greater Sydney posted identical 1.9% increases across both employment and labour force, resulting in a slight decline. National projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workplace demand in Tregear over five-year and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% in five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Applying these industry trajectories to the local occupational baseline suggests Tregear's employment will rise by 5.8% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (note that this model uses illustrative weighting and excludes localized 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 — 20 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,700 at the 2021 Census → 4,026 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.
