Tamworth by the numbers

Houses, teenagers and the Peel Valley

A short profile drawn from the 2021 Census for the Tamworth Significant Urban Area.

Tamworth urban area, headline counts from Census 2021
Item	Value
Population	43,874
Median age	37
Families	11,242
Private dwellings	19,242, with 2.4 people per household on average

Tamworth against New South Wales and Australia, selected shares
Group	Tamworth	NSW	Australia
Separate houses among occupied homes	13,946, or 84.2%	65.6%	72.3%
Flats or apartments among occupied homes	368, or 2.2%	21.7%	14.2%
Residents aged 15 to 19	2,899, or 6.6%	5.7%	5.7%
Professionals among employed residents	3,608, or 18.5%	25.8%	24.0%

Almost all houses

Only 368 occupied homes were flats or apartments, a tenth of the New South Wales share, so most Tamworth learners study from a family house.

Plenty of teenagers

Residents aged 15 to 19 make up 6.6% of the city, above both the state and national figure of 5.7%.

Suburbs on the map

The urban area includes North, South, East and West Tamworth, Calala, Hillvue, Kingswood, Nemingha, Oxley Vale, Taminda and Westdale, according to state place data.

Census counts are lightly randomised by the bureau for privacy, which is why categories in a table may not sum to its total. Our pages copy the published totals rather than recomputing them from the parts.

Signature project

How many real climbs are on a ridge walk?

A straight line through five named hills east of Tamworth, profiled from official contours and broken into climbs by rainflow counting.

The Tamworth hills transect (our measurements from the NSW contour layer, extracted 8 October 2026)
Measure	Value
Length of the line through the five hill points	8,415 m
Contour crossings along it	871
Lowest and highest contour crossed	560 m and 830 m
Every rise added together	1,416 m
Every fall added together	1,356 m
Turning points where up becomes down or back	221

Rainflow cycles by height range (full cycle = 1, half cycle = 0.5; our calculation)
Height range of the cycle	Cycles
Under 4 m	39
4 to 10 m	44
10 to 40 m	22
40 to 100 m	2.5
100 m or more	2.5

Profile

Intersect the line with every contour it crosses and sort the hits by distance. Each one gives a height at a known point along the way.

Reversals

Keep only the points where the direction of travel flips from climbing to descending or back, collapsing any run that keeps going the same way.

Rainflow

Push reversals onto a stack; whenever the newest range is at least as big as the one before it, pop a matched cycle and record its height.

1,416 metres of ascent, but only 108 complete climbs

More than half the cycles, 83 of them, are under 10 metres: gullies a contour line wiggles across, not hills a walker would remember. Keep only cycles of 10 metres or more and the climbing drops to 1,066 metres; keep 20 metres or more and it falls to 878. The biggest single swing is a half cycle of 270 metres. Which number is right depends on the question, and rainflow lets you choose deliberately instead of by accident.

The line joins map points for the five hills; it is not a walking track and crosses private land. Heights between contours are unknown, so a peak between two crossings counts as the higher contour. All figures are ours, computed from Spatial Services data under its Creative Commons Attribution licence.

Writing it in Python

The stack that turns wiggles into cycles

Rainflow counting fits in about twenty lines of Python, and each line guards against a different mistake.

Parts of the Tamworth rainflow program
Part	What our code does	If you skip it
Sorting crossings	871 contour hits ordered by distance along the line	Heights arrive out of order and every cycle is nonsense
Collapsing runs	Equal or same-direction steps merged into one move	A steady climb is miscounted as many tiny cycles
Stack comparison	Compare the newest range with the previous one	Cycles are paired with the wrong partners
Leftover half cycles	Whatever stays on the stack counts half	The two biggest swings vanish from the totals
A consistency check	Weighted ranges sum to 1,386 m, the mean of 1,416 and 1,356	A bug in the pairing goes unseen

That final check is worth teaching on its own. Every full cycle climbs and descends its range once, and each half cycle does one or the other, so the weighted sum of ranges should sit exactly halfway between total ascent and total descent. When our program printed 1,386, the logic had passed a test it was not written to pass.

Teenagers

Write a list of heights by hand, find its turning points with a loop, then run the full Tamworth profile through the same function.

University students

Compare rainflow with simple threshold filters, and read how the method is used in fatigue analysis of bridges and aircraft parts.

Adults

Query a public map service from Python, store the answer and build a small, reusable analysis anyone in the office can rerun.

Modern Age Coders is independent of Spatial Services, the NSW Government, Tamworth Regional Council and the statistics bureau. The bureau provided the Census figures, and the transect, cycle counts and totals all came from our own Python run on the published contours.

Around Tamworth

School terms in 2027 and clocks that move twice a year

Calendar facts a Tamworth family will want when choosing a lesson time.

Middle of 2027

The NSW Department of Education lists Term 2 from Tuesday 27 April to Friday 2 July 2027 and Term 3 from Monday 19 July to Friday 24 September.

Term 4 of 2027

The last term runs from Monday 11 October to Monday 20 December 2027. Staff development days fall inside those dates.

Daylight saving

New South Wales clocks go forward on the first Sunday in October and back on the first Sunday in April, so the gap to India time changes twice a year.

Name the clock

Because Tamworth moves between AEST and AEDT, a lesson booked for 5pm needs a stated time zone. We always confirm lesson times in Tamworth time and show the India time alongside.

Coding and AI

An AI can write a rainflow function on request. Why should a Tamworth learner be able to check it?

Because a version that forgets the leftover half cycles still runs, still prints tidy numbers and quietly loses the two biggest swings on the route.

Rainflow counting has several published variants, and chatbots blend them freely. One will drop the residue left on the stack; another will count every reversal pair as a full cycle; a third will skip collapsing same-direction steps. All three produce believable output. The Tamworth profile exposes them at once, because its largest swings, 270 and 250 metres, sit in that residue.

A learner who has built the algorithm line by line carries a ready test: ranges weighted by cycle type must add up to the average of ascent and descent. Apply that to AI-written code and a subtle mistake becomes an obvious one, which is exactly the habit that makes a programmer trustworthy.

An assistant can supply the code in a second; knowing the check that proves it right is what a Tamworth learner gains from writing it first. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

Delivery

Calala, Hillvue or Oxley Vale, one shared classroom online

Every lesson is live on video, so where in Tamworth a learner lives makes no difference.

No travel

A student in Westdale and another in Nemingha can sit in the same group without anyone crossing town.

NSW school language

Teachers refer to New South Wales stages and year levels and plan revision around the state's terms.

Trial before anything else

The first lesson is a full teaching session that finishes with a recommended course and time; it involves no sales pitch and no card.

Groups

Groups hold fifteen to twenty learners matched by level, drawn from Tamworth and other places so a slot always fills.

A steady rhythm

Two lessons a week, roughly eight a month, at the same time, with exam periods and holidays arranged in advance.

Teachers in India

During daylight saving Tamworth runs five and a half hours ahead of India time, otherwise four and a half, so a 6pm lesson is 12:30pm or 1:30pm for the teacher.

Two gaps a year

Lesson times stay fixed in Tamworth time across the April and October clock changes; only the hour on our side moves.

Fees

Fees for Tamworth learners

Three items make up the whole price list.

First classUSD 0

A full first lesson free, followed by a written suggestion of level, course and weekly time.

Group tuitionUSD 100

A month of group lessons, usually eight, with fifteen to twenty learners at the same stage.

Private tuitionUSD 150

Around eight one-to-one lessons a month on the same schedule, with a teacher just for you.

Outside India every family pays in US dollars, so Calala and Kingswood pay the same as anywhere else in Australia. Payment starts only once the trial has fixed a course and a slot; holidays, missed sessions and switching formats are explained on the pricing page.

FAQ

Questions from Tamworth families

The ones we hear most often from learners in the Peel Valley.

What is the population of Tamworth?

The Census counted 43,874 people in the Tamworth urban area in 2021. Their median age was 37.

What is rainflow counting?

Rainflow counting turns an up-and-down series, such as a load on a part or the height along a walk, into matched pairs of rises and falls called cycles. Each cycle has a height range, so small wiggles and big swings can be counted separately.

What did the Tamworth hills project find?

Along an 8,415 metre line through Macpherson Hill, Flagstaff Mountain, Bald Hill, Daves Hill and Mount Daruka, every rise adds to 1,416 metres. Rainflow finds 108 full cycles, 83 of them under 10 metres, and counting only cycles of 10 metres or more leaves 1,066 metres of real climbing.

Why Python for this kind of project?

Python reads map data, handles lists of numbers and expresses a stack-based algorithm in a few clear lines, so learners can see the method rather than fight the language.

Can Year 11 and 12 students in Tamworth join?

Yes. Teachers work in NSW stages and year levels and time help around the school terms. School assessment tasks remain the student's own work.

What times work for Tamworth learners?

Weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings are the usual choices, fixed during the trial and confirmed in Tamworth time. The gap to our teachers is five and a half hours during daylight saving and four and a half the rest of the year.

Do you teach primary school children too?

Yes, from age six, beginning with Scratch blocks and drawing games before any typed Python. The hills project suits older learners.

Is there a Modern Age Coders centre in Tamworth?

No. There are no premises in Australia and none is claimed; all lessons are live online. Learners need a laptop or desktop, sound and a reliable connection, and the phone number listed is Indian.

What do Tamworth Python classes cost?

The first lesson is free. Then a group place is USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, or USD 150 a month one to one on the same schedule. Course, format and time are agreed first.

How many learners are in a group?

Between five and ten, matched on level, pace and goals rather than age or suburb. Where no group fits the learner's time, one-to-one lessons are offered instead.
