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
Holt has an estimated 6,049 residents, up from 5,628 at the 2021 Census — a change of 421 people, or 7.5%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 44.0% of that increase. That puts 1,833 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, the resident count in Holt stands at roughly 6,049 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 5,628 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this demonstrates an expansion of 421 people (7.5%). This calculation relies on ABS figures indicating an estimated resident population of 6,047 as of June 2025 alongside 19 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, population density is estimated at 1,833 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch. Furthermore, Holt outpaced its surrounding SA3 area (4.2%) with its 7.5% growth since the 2021 census, positioning it as an area pacesetter.
Local expansion was mostly steered by natural increase, accounting for roughly 44.0% of recent population additions, while overseas migration and interstate migration likewise delivered positive contributions. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (benchmarked to 2022) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 regions, supplemented by ACT Government SA2 projections (also with 2022 as a base) for uncovered areas or years beyond 2032. Looking forward, long-term projections point to population gains exceeding national median levels, with expectations that the suburb will expand by 1,226 persons to 2041 according to updated annual ERP figures, translating to an overall rise of 20.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
51 new dwellings have been approved in Holt over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.8 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
Residential building approvals in Holt have hovered at roughly 10 annually, totaling 51 homes authorized throughout the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because approximately 13.6 new residents per year have arrived for each new home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to housing stock are trailing incoming demand considerably, placing upward momentum on prices and sharpening competition among prospective purchasers; concurrently, new builds have carried an average construction value of $277,000—a figure below regional benchmarks that highlights cost-effective housing development. In addition, commercial approvals have totaled $492,000 this financial year, underscoring an emphasis skewed heavily toward residential building.
When evaluated against Australian Capital Territory norms, residential building volumes in Holt are notably subdued (sitting 72.0% below regional average per person), a restriction on construction that commonly underpins market valuation and buyer interest for established dwellings. Such output also trails nationwide medians, pointing toward established local maturity alongside potential development restrictions. Recent building distribution comprises 60.0% standalone homes alongside 40.0% attached dwellings, where an increasing proportion of townhouses and units caters to varied budgets from family accommodation to efficient compact dwellings. Registering roughly 3397 people per dwelling approval, the suburb exhibits the characteristics of an established urban environment. Demographic projections derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate show Holt expanding by 1,224 residents through to 2041. Should building delivery persist at current levels, residential supply may struggle to satisfy population expansion, potentially fueling stronger buyer demand and reinforcing capital growth.

A local retail centre is planned for 2027 (subject to approval) and Strathnairn Early Childhood and Education Centre is partially opening in 2026.
3,101 residents of Holt are employed, from a labour force of 3,315. Unemployment sits at 6.5%, with participation at 67.3%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 5,133, about 85% 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
A skilled local workforce characterizes Holt, highlighted by strong participation across essential services, a jobless rate of 6.5%, and an estimated 0.7% in estimated employment growth over the past year. By March 2026, employed residents reached 3,101, whereas local unemployment sits 2.4% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Australian Capital Territory, accompanied by a labor participation rate (67.3%) slightly behind Australian Capital Territory's 70.6%. Census findings showed a modest 11.0% working from home, a metric that may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident workers are primarily engaged within public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
Construction represents an area of distinct workforce concentration, capturing a resident share 1.4 times the regional level. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for 26.6% of local employment, falling short of the 30.4% seen regionally. Given the disparity between the Census working population and resident counts, this predominantly residential community offers relatively few on-site workplace opportunities. According to an AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures, employment grew by 0.7% and the labour force expanded by 1.1% during the year to March 2026, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, the Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3%, the labour force grow by 1.1%, and unemployment increase by 0.7 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia for Mar-26 provide additional perspective on anticipated job demand in Holt. These estimates span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to gauge likely expansion trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry adjustments are applied to Holt’s job composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.5% over five years and by 13.3% over ten years. This calculation relies on a basic weighting method for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,628 at the 2021 Census → 6,049 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 (801011015). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
