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
Farrer has an estimated 3,816 residents, up from 3,787 at the 2021 Census. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 88% of areas nationally. That puts 1,844 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the resident count of Farrer stands at approximately 3,816 as of May 2026. This represents a minor rise of 29 individuals (0.8%) relative to the 3,787 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. The updated figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,816 alongside 17 validated new addresses registered since the Census took place. With this population level, the locality exhibits a density of 1,843 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density found across the various national settings analysed by AreaSearch.
The upward movement in resident numbers was chiefly pushed by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 88.8% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections sourced from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, have been implemented by AreaSearch for each SA2 unit. For areas lacking this data, or for periods extending past 2032, cohort growth rates are drawn from ACT Government SA2 projections that also use a 2022 baseline. Looking at long-term demographic shifts, these models point toward a shrinking population, with a projected reduction of 274 residents by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, expansion is anticipated within particular age brackets, most notably the cohort aged 85 and over, which is modeled to increase by 104 individuals. Details regarding age cohorts can be found in the corresponding section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
37 new dwellings have been approved in Farrer over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, well below 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 7 new residential approvals have occurred annually in Farrer, representing a cumulative total of 37 dwellings over the prior 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 5 approvals have been logged. Considering that 3.6 new residents have been added per year for each home constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outpaces the volume of new completions, a trend that typically drives upward price pressure and heightens buyer rivalry, while the average construction cost of new dwellings sits at $301,000. In addition, $68,000 in commercial building approvals were registered during the current financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential focus of the neighborhood.
Farrer displays very low volumes of new building approvals compared to the Australian Capital Territory average, tracking at 88.0% below the regional per capita figure. This limited supply rate generally supports value retention and demand for established properties. This construction rate also falls short of the national benchmark, pointing to the mature nature of the locality and potential constraints in planning. The composition of new approvals is split equally between 50.0% standalone houses and 50.0% medium to high-density options. This emphasis on denser housing forms offers more accessible entry points for buyers, catering to investors, first-time purchasers, and downsizers. This represents a notable shift from the established housing stock, where standalone houses constitute 74.0% of properties, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and changing buyer preferences and budget considerations. Yielding approximately 631 residents for every approval, Farrer presents as a mature, fully developed suburb. Given that the overall resident count is projected to stay steady or contract, Farrer is likely to experience less pressure on its housing stock, which may offer advantages to prospective buyers.

Works include lane duplication, new traffic signals at multiple intersections, upgraded bus stops, active travel paths for cyclists and pedestrians, water quality improvements for Lake Tuggeranong, and a new underpass under Sulwood Drive.Jointly funded by the ACT and Australian governments at $98.55 million, the Development Application for the southern section was approved in early 2026 following completion of enabling works. A tender for main construction is expected to be issued in 2026, with the northern section design ongoing and its timeline less certain due to future light rail corridor planning.
Mixed-Use Complex In Mawson
Development of 92 apartments with commercial components, designed by Oztal Architects, includes two buildings and basement parking.
1,904 residents of Farrer are employed, from a labour force of 1,958. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 61.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,081, about 81% 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 characterized by high levels of qualification, particularly in vital service fields, alongside a low unemployment rate of 2.8% and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,904, with an unemployment rate sitting 1.3 percentage points below the 4.1% average for the Australian Capital Territory, while workforce participation is considerably lower at 61.6% compared to the regional rate of 70.8%. According to Census responses, a modest 14.0% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. In contrast, the construction sector is underrepresented locally at 5.8% compared to the regional average of 6.8%. Given the variance between the number of working residents and local jobs recorded in the Census, this residential suburb provides relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labor force expanded by 1.1% while total employment slipped by 0.3%, leading to a 1.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. Over the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory saw a 0.3% rise in employment, a 1.1% increase in the labor force, and a 0.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. Employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspectives on future demand trends in Farrer. These five-year and ten-year national forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to project future employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sectoral growth rates to the employment profile of Farrer suggests a local employment expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, assuming a weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,787 at the 2021 Census → 3,816 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.
