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
Hackett has an estimated 3,352 residents, up from 3,227 at the 2021 Census — a change of 125 people, or 3.9%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. That puts 1,719 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 data compiled by AreaSearch, the resident count for Hackett is approximated at 3,352 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 125 residents (3.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 3,227 individuals. The shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,345 combined with 15 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level yields a density of 1,719 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure across nationwide locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The upward movement in resident numbers was largely driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 83.6% of the overall population increases lately.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2. For areas lacking this coverage, and for any timeframe after 2032, age group growth trends are sourced from ACT Government SA2 projections using a 2022 baseline. Under this approach, the long-term outlook points to a minor contraction in total resident count, with a reduction of 11 persons expected by 2041. Even so, expansion is anticipated within particular age brackets, most notably the 65 to 74 group, which is forecast to rise by 70 people. More details can be found in the age portion.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Hackett over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 3.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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
Hackett has recorded roughly 12 residential approvals annually, amounting to 61 homes during the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 3 approvals have been logged. The ratio of new arrivals to new builds stands at 2.4 people per year per home completed between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating healthy demand that bolsters real estate values. Newly built residences carry an average value of $375,000, which demonstrates that builders are focusing on the higher-end, premium tier of the market. Furthermore, commercial approvals of $144,000 have been logged during this financial year, highlighting the quiet, residential character of the neighborhood.
When contrasted with the Australian Capital Territory, the volume of building approvals in Hackett is low, sitting 73.0% below regional average per person. This limited supply of new dwellings generally acts to reinforce demand and support prices for established properties. The composition of new approvals consists of 58.0% standalone homes and 42.0% medium and high-density housing, with a rising proportion of townhouses and apartments offering choices at multiple price points, ranging from larger family residences to compact options. This marks a clear departure from the current housing mix, which consists of 76.0% houses, showing that buildable land is becoming scarce while lifestyles are shifting toward diverse, cost-effective options. The region averages roughly 315 people per dwelling approval, showing a low density market. Faced with flat or shrinking population projections, Hackett might experience reduced pressure on the housing market, leading to advantageous purchasing conditions for prospective buyers.

It features a new $20 million golf clubhouse, extensive parklands, and wellness facilities, with a focus on high-density living connected to the light rail network.
1,779 residents of Hackett are employed, from a labour force of 1,850. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 67.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,557, about 76% 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 education, with a strong presence of professional services, a low unemployment rate of 3.8%, and a 1.2% estimated rise in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 1,779 employed residents, representing an unemployment rate 0.2% below the Australian Capital Territory average of 4.1%, while the participation rate is slightly lower than normal, at 67.3% compared to the Australian Capital Territory average of 70.8%. Census records indicate that a moderate 15.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local workers are public administration & safety, education & training, and professional & technical. By contrast, health care & social assistance is underrepresented at 8.6% of the workforce compared to the broader regional average of 11.7%. The heavily residential nature of the suburb appears to offer few local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the number of working residents to those employed within the boundaries of the area. According to analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, employment grew by 1.2% and the labor force expanded by 1.3% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory registered employment expansion of 0.3% and labor force growth of 1.1%, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Hackett. These five and ten-year projections have been integrated with local industry profiles to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests Hackett's employment numbers should rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, representing a simple 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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,227 at the 2021 Census → 3,352 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.
