This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Braddon has an estimated 7,489 residents, up from 6,383 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,106 people, or 17.3%. Growth has averaged 3.4% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 135 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 79.6% of that increase. That puts 5,311 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Braddon stands at approximately 7,489 as of May 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,383 residents, this represents an addition of 1,106 individuals or a rise of 17.3%. This demographic shift is calculated based on the ABS estimated resident population of 7,488 recorded in June 2025 alongside 135 validated new addresses identified after the Census. Consequently, the local density ratio reaches 5,311 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the highest 10% of all areas analyzed nationwide and indicating that residential space is highly prized.
The 17.3% expansion rate recorded in Braddon since the 2021 census outpaced both the Australian Capital Territory average of 8.3% and the broader SA4 region, positioning it as a primary driver of regional growth. This upward trend was fueled mostly by arrivals from abroad, who represented roughly 79.6% of the overall population increases, though natural increase and movement from other states also made positive contributions. AreaSearch is utilizing projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 and use 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas that fall outside this dataset, as well as for periods after 2032, age group growth rates are taken from the ACT Government's SA2 area projections, which also use 2022 as the base. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, a substantial population rise is projected for the top quartile of national areas, with the area anticipated to increase by 3,058 individuals to reach a total of 2041 by 2041 according to the latest annual ERP population figures, indicating a 40.8% growth overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
119 new dwellings have been approved in Braddon over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 741, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An average of approximately 23 residential building approvals are recorded in Braddon annually, with a total of 119 dwellings approved throughout the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25 and 680 during FY-26 so far. Given that 9.7 new residents arrived in the suburb for every single home constructed over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand remains far higher than supply, which typically escalates market competition and raises purchase costs, while new properties average a construction value of $98,000, which is below the wider regional benchmark and indicates the introduction of more budget-friendly housing choices.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $8.4 million during the current financial year, which highlights the predominantly residential makeup of the area. In comparison to the wider Australian Capital Territory, the volume of residential building in Braddon is notably low, tracking 73.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. This lack of new development generally supports the valuation and demand for established properties. The composition of new construction is divided between 12.0% single houses and 88.0% medium to high-density buildings. This concentration of dense housing options offers affordable starting points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. Projecting forward from the latest quarterly estimates compiled by AreaSearch, the resident population of Braddon is anticipated to rise by 3,057 people by 2041. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of housing may struggle to accommodate this growing population, which could intensify competition among buyers and underpin further value growth.

5,739 residents of Braddon are employed, from a labour force of 5,925. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 82.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. 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 local labor pool in Braddon is characterized by high levels of education, strong representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of only 3.1%, and stable employment levels over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,739, with the local unemployment rate tracking 0.9% lower than the 4.1% recorded for the Australian Capital Territory, while the participation rate of 82.7% was substantially higher than the territory average of 70.8%. According to Census data, a modest 12.4% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary employment fields for local residents are public administration & safety, professional & technical, and education & training. The concentration of workers in public administration & safety is particularly high, tracking at 1.4 times the regional average, whereas health care & social assistance is underrepresented at 6.7% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 11.7%. A ratio of 0.7 jobs for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher than average volume of local employment opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics indicates that for the year ending March 2026, the number of employed individuals rose by 0.2% and the total labor force expanded by 1.2%, which caused the unemployment rate to increase by 1.0 percentage points. For the same period, the Australian Capital Territory saw a 0.3% increase in employment, a 1.1% rise in the labor force, and a 0.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context regarding future labor demand in Braddon. These five-year and ten-year outlooks have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Across Australia, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of change vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry trends onto the occupational profile of Braddon indicates local job numbers could rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 135 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,383 at the 2021 Census → 7,489 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.
