Sales Detail
Tuncurry has an estimated 6,233 residents, down from 6,376 at the 2021 Census — a change of 143 people, or 2.2%. That puts 398 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 evaluations combining broader statistical updates from the ABS with validated post-Census address counts, the suburb of Tuncurry accommodates an estimated 6,233 inhabitants as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 6,376 residents documented at the 2021 Census, this represents a contraction of 143 people (2.2%). Such figures stem from AreaSearch calculating a resident base of 6,229 following the ABS ERP release in June 2025, alongside 38 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. With a density of 397 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample physical room and capacity for subsequent expansion.
Recent gains were overwhelmingly underpinned by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 87.0% of net population additions. Population forecasts utilise combined ABS and Geoscience Australia modelling published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 figures released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline. These aggregations also provide age-specific trajectories covering 2032 to 2041. Over the coming years, the suburb of Tuncurry is slated to exceed typical expansion benchmarks for regional Australia, expanding by 1,059 persons to 2041 across aggregated SA2 boundaries to register an aggregate rise of 16.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
33 new dwellings have been approved in Tuncurry over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS construction figures allocated across local boundaries indicates that Tuncurry has averaged roughly 6 residential approvals per annum, representing an aggregate of 33 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25, 13 approvals have been logged to date. Amid demographic contraction, residential creation has matched local demand to foster an equilibrium offering solid choice to purchasers, accompanied by an average build cost of $355,000—a figure below regional benchmarks that highlights cost-effective housing delivery. Concurrently, $3.4 million in commercial development consents this financial year reinforces that residential development remains the primary activity.
Per capita residential development in Tuncurry lags Rest of NSW by 82.0%, sitting well below regional norms. While recent periods have seen an uptick in approvals, this structural constraint typically bolsters market demand and valuations for established housing stock. This subdued volume also falls short of Australian benchmarks, underscoring local maturity alongside potential statutory planning hurdles. The composition of new builds is evenly split, with 50.0% detached dwellings and 50.0% medium and high-density housing, delivering entry-level affordability that caters well to downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. A high ratio of 569 people per approved dwelling highlights an exceptionally quiet building pipeline. Projections indicate that Tuncurry will add 1,055 residents through to 2041 from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update. If construction rates remain at current volumes, additions to dwelling stock may fail to match demographic growth, heightening buyer rivalry and placing upward pressure on property values.

Features include a reconfigured golf course, a new surf lifesaving facility, and extensive active transport links.
2,129 residents of Tuncurry are employed, from a labour force of 2,258. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 39.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
A review of aggregated statistical area data shows Tuncurry maintains a mixed workforce of white and blue collar occupations with prominent representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.7%. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 2,129, with joblessness tracking 1.6% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while local participation of 39.8% trails the regional figure of 60.6% substantially. Census findings showed 9.4% working remotely, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time must be considered. Local workers are predominantly engaged across health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade.
Specialisation is especially pronounced within accommodation & food, where the local workforce share reaches 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for merely 4.3% of resident workers, trailing the 7.5% recorded across Regional NSW. A comparison between the Census working population and resident counts suggests that on-site local employment opportunities are relatively constrained. AreaSearch assessment of broader ABS and SALM indicators shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 3.3% while overall employment fell by 3.7%, driving an unemployment rate increase of 0.4 percentage points. Across Regional NSW over the same timeframe, jobs shrank by 0.9%, the labour supply dropped by 0.4%, and unemployment moved up 0.5 percentage points. Looking forward, national industry forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements in Tuncurry. While country-wide employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Mapping these sectoral projections onto Tuncurry's workforce distribution indicates potential local job gains of 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (noting this illustrative weighting exercise omits localised population dynamics).

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 — 38 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,376 at the 2021 Census → 6,233 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.
