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.

Griffith (ACT) has an estimated 5,859 residents, up from 5,328 at the 2021 Census — a change of 531 people, or 10.0%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. 417 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 66.4% of that increase. That puts 2,123 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 AreaSearch, the resident count in Griffith reached approximately 5,859 as of Aug 2026, representing an expansion of 531 people (10.0%) from the 5,328 people recorded at the 2021 Census. This adjustment draws on the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,828 as of June 2025 alongside 417 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. Consequently, Griffith registers a population density of 2,122 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. With 10.0% growth since the 2021 census, the suburb outpaced both the broader SA4 region and the state (8.5%), establishing itself as a regional growth leader.
The primary catalyst behind these local gains was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 66.4% of overall population gains during recent periods. Projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year across SA2 locations, supplemented by ACT Government SA2 area projections using a 2022 base for unlisted areas and timeframes post-2032. Factoring in anticipated demographic changes, Griffith is slated to achieve above median population growth compared to statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch. Driven by the latest annual ERP population numbers, the locality is forecast to expand by 1,035 persons to 2041, which translates to an overall rise of 17.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
126 new dwellings have been approved in Griffith (ACT) over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That is 4.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 31% 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
Residential building consents in Griffith have averaged roughly 25 residential properties annually, culminating in 126 homes over the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26 over the past 5 financial years, an influx averaging 4 people per year for every completed dwelling highlights a significant shortfall in housing supply relative to demand, placing upward pressure on prices through heightened buyer competition. Newly constructed dwellings carry an average construction value of $455,000, tracking marginally ahead of the regional average and pointing to higher-end development standards. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $29.7 million this financial year, signaling robust commercial momentum in the precinct.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Griffith aligns closely with broader trends across Australian Capital Territory, reinforcing local market stability. The recent development pipeline features 31.0% standalone homes alongside 69.0% attached dwellings. This higher concentration of medium-to-high density housing creates accessible purchase options that appeal to first-time purchasers, downsizers, and investors. Additionally, the suburb registers approximately 842 people per dwelling approval, reflecting a mature and established urban landscape. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, population projections suggest that Griffith will add 1,002 residents through to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, residential supply could fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying competition among buyers and underpinning ongoing property value growth.

3,671 residents of Griffith (ACT) are employed, from a labour force of 3,721. Unemployment sits at 1.3%, with participation at 72.3%. 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. 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 labour pool in Griffith is exceptionally well educated, characterized by a substantial presence in professional services, an unemployment rate of merely 1.3%, and an estimated 1.2% job growth over the past year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,671, with local joblessness tracking 2.7% below the 4.1% rate recorded across Australian Capital Territory, while labour market participation aligns with the territory's 70.6%. Census figures also indicate that 14.1% of working residents operated from home, though potential distortion from Covid-19 lockdown conditions should be taken into account. Resident employment is heavily weighted toward public administration & safety, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance.
Concentration in public administration & safety is especially prominent, exceeding the regional benchmark at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, construction represents an undersized share, engaging only 3.6% of the workforce in Griffith against 6.8% across Australian Capital Territory. Comparing the Census working population against the local population suggests that although local positions exist, a large proportion of residents travel outside the suburb for work. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures shows that over the year to March 2026, a 1.2% increase in employment alongside a 1.1% gain in the labour force drove a 0.2 percentage points decrease in the jobless rate. In contrast, Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3% and the labour force expand by 1.1%, leading to an increase of 0.7 percentage points in unemployment. National outlook figures from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment trends in Griffith across five and ten-year horizons when weighted by local industry exposure. While economy-wide employment is projected to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral trajectories vary widely; applying these baseline trajectories to Griffith indicates anticipated local employment growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation is purely illustrative and excludes localized population modeling).

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 — 417 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,328 at the 2021 Census → 5,859 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.
