Rental reviews in Tumbulgum, NSW 2490

Tumbulgum is a NSW suburb in Tweed LGA, matched to postcode 2490 — also covering North Tumbulgum. Postcode 2490 did not have enough new bonds with a known rent in the latest year to quote a median (Fair Trading cells need at least 10 known weekly rents). Tumbulgum recorded 32 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, up 60.0% from 20 a year earlier. These are police-recorded incidents, not convictions, and they are not adjusted for how many people live or visit here. Fair Trading recorded 8 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2022–2023 the postcode median moved from $780 to $745 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 8 and violent-related offences 3. Liquor offences made up the largest published share (10 incidents, 31%). Next was Other offences (5). The crime series is coded to this suburb name; the rent series, where shown, is the whole postcode. The two windows are not identical: rents are calendar year, recorded crime is the 12 months to March 2026. Some person-offence categories are not itemised here because suburb geography under-counts them. Do not rank this suburb as more or less dangerous from the raw incident total. Until population is joined, a high count can simply mean more people, more visitors, or more policing.
