Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Denman Prospect

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Denman Prospect has an estimated 6,095 residents, up from 2,759 at the 2021 Census — a change of 3,336 people, or 120.9%. Growth has averaged 29.6% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 1,497 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 85.3% of that increase. That puts 1,286 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 calculations performed by AreaSearch, the population of Denman Prospect stands at approximately 6,095 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 3,336 residents (120.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,759 people. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,608 combined with 1,497 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such figures result in a density of 1,285 persons per square kilometer, a level that exceeds typical figures recorded across national locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The expansion rate of 120.9% since the 2021 census outpaced the state (8.3%) as well as the wider SA4 region, establishing the locality as a regional leader in population growth.

This upward trajectory was largely propelled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 85.3% of the overall population rise during recent times, even though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for all years after 2032, age cohort growth rates from ACT Government projections built on a 2022 baseline are applied instead. Future projections point to remarkable growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of all statistical areas nationwide, with the population anticipated to grow by 7,398 individuals by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP figures, marking a 111.7% expansion over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Denman Prospect

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,190 new dwellings have been approved in Denman Prospect over the past five years, an average of 438 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 72 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 223 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 33% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 474, broadly in line with 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

Approximately 438 residential building approvals have been logged in Denman Prospect annually, culminating in 2,190 home approvals during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 435 during the current FY-26. Because an average of 1.8 additional residents have been added per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand and supply appear closely aligned, supporting steady market conditions while new residences carry an average construction value of $228,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $51.8 million during the current financial year, pointing to healthy levels of local corporate investment.

Per capita construction activity in Denman Prospect is 132.0% higher than the wider Australian Capital Territory average, offering more options to prospective purchasers despite a recent moderation in overall development velocity. This volume sits well clear of national benchmarks, demonstrating strong builder confidence in the district. Recent residential completions consist of 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density housing provides more economical buying options and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the historical housing stock (which currently stands at 49.0% houses), indicating a decline in available raw land alongside changing lifestyle demands and affordability constraints. With roughly 13 people for every dwelling approval, the market continues to expand. Estimates based on the latest quarterly data from AreaSearch suggest Denman Prospect will add 6,806 residents by 2041. Ongoing construction volumes indicate that housing supply is on track to meet this demand, establishing supportive conditions for purchasers and potentially paving the way for growth to surpass current projections.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Denman Prospect

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

3,108 residents of Denman Prospect are employed, from a labour force of 3,184. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 73.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% 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. The working-day population is estimated at 4,894, about 80% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 workforce is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, and consistent employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, there were 3,108 employed residents, while the local unemployment rate was 1.7% lower than the 4.1% recorded across the Australian Capital Territory. Workforce participation sits at a standard level, measuring 73.9% compared to 70.8% in the Australian Capital Territory. Census returns show that a moderate 13.7% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.

The primary employment sectors for local residents are public administration & safety, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance. The community displays a distinct specialization in the professional & technical sector, where its employment concentration is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, education & training is under-represented, employing just 5.8% of the Denman Prospect workforce compared to 9.6% across the Australian Capital Territory. Comparing the number of working residents to the local job count indicates that this predominantly residential district provides few employment options within its own boundaries. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch indicates that the local labor force grew by 1.1% in the year to March 2026, while total employment fell by 0.1%, leading to a 1.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. By comparison, the Australian Capital Territory registered a 0.3% rise in employment and a 1.1% increase in the labor force, with unemployment rising by 0.7 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding long-term demand trends for Denman Prospect. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with local workforce profiles to estimate future trends. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local employment structure suggests that employment among Denman Prospect residents will rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison and 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 — 1,497 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,759 at the 2021 Census → 6,095 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (801101136). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Denman Prospect SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Denman Prospect page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Denman Prospect data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
