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
Gungahlin has an estimated 10,030 residents, up from 8,586 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,444 people, or 16.8%. Growth has averaged 3.4% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 981 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 65.5% of that increase. That puts 2,200 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Gungahlin records a population of approximately 10,030 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,444 people (16.8%) compared with the 8,586 residents counted in the 2021 Census. Such growth is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,573 alongside 981 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. Overall density stands at 2,199 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the standard across national areas analyzed by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the broader territory (8.5%) and the wider SA4 region, Gungahlin's 16.8% increase establishes it as an area leader in population expansion.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 65.5% of net population additions in recent times. Projections for SA2 locations utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia releases based on 2022 figures, supplemented by ACT Government SA2 projections (2022 base) for post-2032 timeframes and unlisted localities. Driven by expected demographic movements, the district is slated for top-decile growth nationwide, projected to add 6,130 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which denotes a 56.4% cumulative rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,569 new dwellings have been approved in Gungahlin over the past five years, an average of 313 a year. That places the area in the 88th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 31 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 314 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% 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 approvals across Gungahlin have averaged approximately 313 dwellings annually, totaling 1,569 residential approvals across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). With an addition of merely 0.9 new residents annually per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to housing stock comfortably match or outstrip local demand, sustaining healthy choice for purchasers and providing room for demographic expansion beyond existing models. Furthermore, expected construction costs average $297,000 per dwelling, consistent with broader regional standards, while recorded commercial approvals of $31.1 million this financial year reflect robust non-residential activity.
Per-capita building activity in Gungahlin exceeds the Australian Capital Territory baseline by 327.0%, offering substantial variety to purchasers and highlighting strong builder interest well above national averages. Recent residential construction consists solely of attached formats, providing affordable price points suitable for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This pivot represents a major shift from the standing built form (currently 36.0% houses), driven by limited land availability, evolving buyer preferences, and housing affordability dynamics. A metric of roughly 4784 people per approval underscores Gungahlin's status as an established district. Longer-term demographic modeling indicates Gungahlin will expand by 5,655 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction trajectories suggest oncoming supply will comfortably accommodate new demand, supporting favorable market conditions for purchasers and enabling population expansion beyond projected benchmarks.

5,916 residents of Gungahlin are employed, from a labour force of 6,228. Unemployment sits at 5.0%, with participation at 75.8%. 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
The local labour force in Gungahlin is characterised by advanced educational qualifications, prominent representation across essential services, and an unemployment rate of 5.0% amidst a steady labour market over the prior year. Employed residents totaled 5,916 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 1.0% above the 4.1% recorded for Australian Capital Territory. Labour force participation remains elevated at 75.8%, compared to 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory. Only 9.7% of workers reported working from home during the Census, though pandemic-related movement restrictions at the time should be factored in.
Resident workers are primarily employed across public administration & safety, accommodation & food, and health care & social assistance. Accommodation & food demonstrates exceptional local concentration, registering employment rates 1.7 times the regional norm. Conversely, public administration & safety constitutes 23.4% of resident jobs, below the wider regional proportion of 30.4%. Although local positions exist, comparisons between Census local jobs and resident workforce numbers indicate significant outward commuting. Analysis of SALM and ABS data conducted by AreaSearch indicates that the labour force grew by 1.0% during the year to March 2026, while employment fell by 0.1%, which caused the unemployment rate to increase by 1.0 percentage points. In contrast, the Australian Capital Territory experienced a 0.3% rise in employment, a 1.1% expansion of the labour force, and an unemployment increase of 0.7 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand in Gungahlin. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Gungahlin’s current employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.1% over ten years. It is important to note that this calculation represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised population projections.

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 — 981 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,586 at the 2021 Census → 10,030 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 (801041040). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
