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 7,641 residents, up from 6,383 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,258 people, or 19.7%. Growth has averaged 3.4% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. 206 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Braddon stands at approximately 7,641 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 6,383 people, this represents an expansion of 1,258 people (19.7%). This calculation combines the ABS estimated resident population figure of 7,488 recorded as of June 2025 with 206 validated new addresses documented following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 5,419 persons per square kilometer, placing Braddon within the top 10% of areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch and underlining the intense demand for local real estate.
Outpacing both the broader territory (8.5%) and the wider SA4 region, the locality's 19.7% increase since the 2021 census establishes it as an area leader in expansion. Inbound overseas migration served as the core catalyst, generating roughly 79.6% of recent net additions, while interstate migration and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. SA2-level projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the base year, form the foundation of AreaSearch's modeling, supplemented beyond 2032 and across unlisted SA2 sectors by ACT Government age-cohort projections that also adopt 2022 as a base. Demographic forecasting places the precinct in the top quartile across all Australian statistical regions for future growth, with the latest annual ERP figures projecting an overall gain of 3,012 persons to 2041, which equates to an expansion of 37.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
721 new dwellings have been approved in Braddon over the past five years, an average of 144 a year. That places the area in the 90th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 144 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 1% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential building approvals in Braddon have averaged approximately 144 dwellings per annum, amounting to 721 homes in total. Across the 5 financial years spanning FY-22 and FY-26, incoming population was absorbed at an average rate of 1.6 new residents per approved dwelling, pointing to balanced conditions across supply and demand, with the pace easing further to 0.6 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years to reinforce market equilibrium. Construction costs for new residential units average $447,000, coming in marginally higher than the regional benchmark to indicate an emphasis on premium builds.
Concurrently, non-residential building approvals reached $8.4 million this financial year, underscoring the suburb's predominantly residential landscape. Building activity per capita over the 5 year period runs 36.0% above regional average levels seen across Australian Capital Territory, sustaining healthy buyer selection alongside baseline asset values. This rate tracks well above national norms, indicating pronounced developer interest. Sector breakdown reveals high-density and medium-density projects comprise 99.0% of approvals, alongside 1.0% detached dwellings. Such a focus on higher-density configurations supports entry-level pricing suitable for first-time buyers, investors, and downsizing owner-occupiers. A ratio of roughly 369 people per dwelling approval characterizes an established, mature urban setting. According to recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, the population of Braddon is slated to rise by 2,859 residents through to 2041. While residential construction currently tracks projected population gains, intensifying buyer competition is anticipated as the local community expands.

5,739 residents of Braddon are employed, from a labour force of 5,925. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 82.4%. 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
A highly qualified labor force characterizes Braddon, featuring substantial engagement in professional sectors, a low jobless rate of 3.1%, and steady employment conditions across the prior twelve months. Employed locals numbered 5,739 as of March 2026, while local joblessness sat 0.9% beneath the 4.1% rate across Australian Capital Territory, and the labor participation rate reached an elevated 82.4% relative to 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory. Remote work was reported by a modest 12.4% of working residents at the Census, although prevailing Covid-19 restrictions provide relevant context. Public administration & safety, professional & technical, and education & training represent the primary fields of employment among residents.
The precinct displays marked concentration in public administration & safety, where representation exceeds regional norms by 1.4 times. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 6.7% of the local workforce, trailing the 11.7% registered across Australian Capital Territory. At the Census, a local ratio of 0.7 workers for every resident demonstrated an above-average volume of nearby jobs. Analysis of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12-month period, workforce numbers expanded by 1.2% while total employment grew by 0.2%, causing an increase in unemployment of 1.0 percentage points. For context, Australian Capital Territory observed employment growth of 0.3%, a 1.1% lift in the labor force, and a 0.7 percentage points rise in unemployment. National outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26 provide indicative medium- and long-term hiring projections when weighted against local industry shares. Across Australia, workforce expansion is projected at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across separate sectors. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against the local industry structure suggests employment in Braddon could rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note that this represents a weighted baseline extrapolation and does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 206 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,383 at the 2021 Census → 7,641 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 Aug 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 (801051051). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
