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.

Sales Detail
Duffy has an estimated 3,514 residents, up from 3,395 at the 2021 Census — a change of 119 people, or 3.5%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. That puts 1,255 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, Duffy records an estimated population of approximately 3,514 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 119 people (3.5%) compared to the 3,395 people documented in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 3,514 recorded in June 2025 alongside 10 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,255 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the nationwide benchmark assessed by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the local expansion rate of 3.5% since the 2021 census outperformed the wider SA3 area (1.9%), establishing Duffy as a regional growth outperformer.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was net overseas migration, generating roughly 62.4% of total local population additions over recent timeframes. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 baseline) are applied across SA2 territories by AreaSearch. Wherever coverage is absent, or for periods extending post-2032, age-cohort trajectory projections from the ACT Government (also utilizing a 2022 base) are utilized. Anticipated future trends place the suburb in the bottom quartile across Australian statistical divisions, forecasting an overall increment of 81 persons through to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, which translates to a 2.3% aggregate increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
29 new dwellings have been approved in Duffy over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential approvals in Duffy have averaged roughly 5 new homes, delivering an aggregate of 29 homes over the previous 5 financial years. With an inflow averaging 6.6 new residents per year for each residential unit completed over the preceding 5 financial years (covering FY-22 to FY-26), additions to local housing stock are trailing population demand significantly, generating intensified competition among purchasers and subsequent upward price pressure, alongside an average construction cost of $361,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, the district registered $209,000 in approved commercial works during the current financial year, underlining its deeply residential character.
Residential building output across Duffy lags substantially behind wider territory activity, sitting 56.0% below regional average per person seen throughout Australian Capital Territory. Such constrained construction tends to reinforce pricing and buyer interest across established dwellings. Development levels are also subdued relative to national benchmarks, highlighting local market maturity along with potential physical or regulatory land constraints. Of recent building approvals, standalone houses represent 40.0% while attached residences account for 60.0%. This shift toward medium density provides accessible price points that appeal to downsizers, property investors, and first-home purchasers. This composition represents a clear transition from the prevailing built environment (where separate houses constitute 88.0%), reflecting both limited vacant sites and shifting demographic preferences for manageable, affordable housing options. With approximately 864 people per approval, Duffy typifies a well-settled, mature urban fabric. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Duffy is projected to add 81 residents by 2041. Under current construction trajectories, incoming residential developments are well positioned to satisfy anticipated demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting demographic expansion above existing baseline forecasts.

1,798 residents of Duffy are employed, from a labour force of 1,887. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 68.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,695, about 77% 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
Duffy is characterized by a well-educated labor pool with significant concentration in public sector and essential service roles, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.7%. As of March 2026, employed locals total 1,798 residents, whereas the local jobless rate sits 0.7% above the 4.1% recorded for Australian Capital Territory, and workforce engagement is slightly suppressed (68.1% compared to 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory). Census records indicate that 14.7% of working residents carried out their duties from home, an outcome influenced in part by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Leading fields of employment for local workers include public administration & safety, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance.
In contrast, the accommodation & food sector accounts for a smaller footprint at 5.0%, trailing the broader regional baseline of 6.5%. Because the suburb is primarily residential, internal job generation remains modest when comparing Census daytime workers against the resident labor force. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the twelve months to March 2026, Duffy saw its labor pool expand by 1.1% while total jobs contracted by 0.6%, resulting in an unemployment increase of 1.6 percentage points. Across Australian Capital Territory over the same timeframe, employment climbed 0.3%, the labor force widened by 1.1%, and joblessness rose 0.7 percentage points. Projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide an outlook on future employment requirements across the area. When projected across Duffy's specific occupational makeup over five- and ten-year intervals, national projections anticipate broad job gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, albeit with notable sectoral divergence. Weighting these projections to the suburb's workforce structure indicates an expected local employment expansion of 6.5% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (calculated strictly as an illustrative baseline weighting without incorporating localized demographic shifts).

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,395 at the 2021 Census → 3,514 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.
