About Tumbi Umbi

Tumbi Umbi is a bushland-fringe suburb on the New South Wales Central Coast, falling within the Central Coast City Council area approximately 80 kilometres north of Sydney. Spread across 13 square kilometres at an elevation of around 160 metres, the suburb has a population of about 5,400 and a notably older age profile, with a median age of 45. Households have a median income of around ,660 per week, broadly in line with the broader Central Coast region.

The suburb has a quiet, semi-rural character with many properties backing onto bushland reserves, and it attracts retirees and established families seeking space and tranquillity away from the coast's busier centres. Tumbi Umbi sits close to Tuggerah and Berkeley Vale, providing access to the Westfield Tuggerah shopping centre and Tuggerah railway station for the commute to Sydney. The community has a strong Anglo-Australian heritage, with a notably high proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents compared to the regional average.

Tumbi Umbi falls under postcode 2261 and is governed by Central Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the The Entrance electorate.
