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
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 investigations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region, alongside newly verified address data from AreaSearch following the Census, the population of the suburb of Tuncurry is calculated at approximately 6,233 in May 2026. This represents a contraction of 143 residents (2.2%) from the 2021 Census, which registered 6,376 individuals. This shift is derived from a resident headcount of 6,229, projected by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP statistics from June 2025 in combination with 38 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 397 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment with capacity for future growth.
The expansion of the local population was mostly fueled by interstate arrivals, who accounted for roughly 87.0% of the total demographic growth in recent times. AreaSearch applies projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are implemented. Demographic growth rates across specific age brackets from these sources are also mapped to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts indicate that the area is set to experience population growth exceeding the median for non-metropolitan locations, with expectations to add 1,071 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing a 17.1% overall expansion over 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 1.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, 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 evaluations of ABS building consent statistics distributed from statistical areas show that the suburb of Tuncurry averages approximately 6 approved residential builds per year, with 33 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial periods (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 13 during the current FY-26 period. Because the local population decreased recently, the volume of new completions has likely matched market demand, giving purchasers options, with new builds averaging a value of $367,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $3.4 million were registered this financial year, which highlights the dominant residential nature of the local market.
Construction activity in the suburb of Tuncurry is drastically lower than the Rest of NSW average, sitting 83.0% below the regional per capita figure. This low volume of new additions generally supports demand and values for existing properties. The volume also falls short of the national benchmark, showing the mature state of the local area and suggesting potential development restrictions. Recent building patterns show that detached houses account for 67.0% of activity, with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 33.0%, showing an increasing diversity of attached options that provide choices across different budgets, from larger family residences to more affordable compact dwellings. The ratio of 894 residents for every single approved dwelling highlights the quiet and subdued state of local construction. Looking forward, the suburb of Tuncurry is projected to add 1,067 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current low levels, the supply of new homes might fall behind population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

2,129 residents of Tuncurry are employed, from a labour force of 2,258. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 39.9%. 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
The suburb of Tuncurry features a balanced job market comprising both professional and trade occupations, with a notable presence of essential public services and an unemployment rate of 5.7%, according to AreaSearch figures compiled from regional statistics. In March 2026, there were 2,129 working residents, with the local jobless rate sitting 1.6% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably lower at 39.9% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records indicate that only 9.4% of working locals operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related movement restrictions.
Local workforce positions are heavily weighted towards health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade. The accommodation & food industry shows a particularly strong concentration, employing residents at 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety is underrepresented, making up 4.3% of employment compared to 7.5% across the region. The comparison between the local working population and the count of employed residents suggests that the immediate vicinity offers limited job openings. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics compiled across broader geographic zones, the local workforce shrank by 3.3% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, while the number of employed residents fell by 3.7%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. By comparison, Regional NSW saw employment decline by 0.9%, the overall labour force drop by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate rise by 0.5 percentage points. Long-term national employment predictions released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in the suburb of Tuncurry. These five and ten-year national outlooks have been analyzed against local employment structures to project potential growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth varies widely. Adjusting these projections to fit the local industry profile suggests employment in the suburb of Tuncurry could rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, though this serves as a basic weighted calculation rather than a localized 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 — 38 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (SAL13987). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
