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.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Kambah is estimated at 15,891 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 221 people (1.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 15,670 residents. This calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 15,878 in June 2025 alongside 152 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 1,401 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical average across the national locations analyzed by AreaSearch. Kambah has exhibited stable growth over the last ten years, maintaining a 0.5% compound annual growth rate that remains ahead of the wider SA3 region.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 52.1% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the base year for each SA2. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for projections beyond 2032, age cohort growth rates are drawn from ACT Government projections utilizing a 2022 base year. Projections for future demographic shifts suggest a contraction in the overall population, with a forecasted decrease of 976 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, expansion is anticipated within specific age groups, particularly the cohort aged 85 and over, which is expected to rise by 209 people. The age section contains further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
202 new dwellings have been approved in Kambah over the past five years, an average of 40 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 36 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 31% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Kambah averages approximately 40 dwelling approvals annually, with a total of 202 homes approved over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 8 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.4 new residents per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the balance between supply and demand remains steady, fostering stable market conditions. Newly built properties average a value of $364,000, which points to a developer focus on high-end, premium housing. Commercial approvals for the current financial year stand at $831,000, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality.
In comparison to the wider Australian Capital Territory, Kambah exhibits moderately elevated building activity, tracking 10.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period. This provides buyers with options while underpinning local property values, even though construction activity has decelerated recently. The rate also falls below the national average, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential planning constraints. Residential construction comprises 31.0% detached houses and 69.0% medium and high-density dwellings. This focus on compact options offers affordable entry points and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from current housing stock, which consists of 85.0% houses, indicating a decrease in available development land and addressing changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability. There are roughly 841 people for each dwelling approval, confirming an established property market. Given that population forecasts indicate steady numbers or a downward trend, Kambah is likely to experience less pressure on housing demand, which should benefit prospective purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Kambah Group Centre Expansion
A $20 million private redevelopment led by Exempla Group to revitalize the Kambah Village precinct. The project involves doubling the existing Woolworths supermarket footprint to approximately 3,475 square metres to create a full-line store. The expansion includes a new BWS, additional specialty retail units ranging from 50 to 300 square metres, new food outlets, and medical services. The design features a new covered northern entry and integrated landscaping designed to complement ACT Government public realm upgrades.Current planning focus includes lease variations to accommodate indoor recreation and personal services.
Athllon Drive Duplication
The Athllon Drive Duplication upgrades a key arterial road linking Woden to Tuggeranong in the ACT. The primary southern section duplicates 2.4 km between Sulwood Drive and Drakeford Drive in Kambah and Wanniassa, with a smaller 600 m northern section between Hindmarsh Drive and Melrose Drive. 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.

7,946 residents of Kambah are employed, from a labour force of 8,423. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 64.5%. 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 12,569, about 79% 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
Kambah possesses a highly educated workforce with a strong presence in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of 5.7% and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, there were 7,946 employed residents, while the unemployment rate was 1.6% higher than the Australian Capital Territory average of 4.1%. Workforce participation lags the territory average, sitting at 64.5% compared to 70.8% in the Australian Capital Territory. Census statistics show that a low 11.5% of workers worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be taken into account.
The primary sectors employing residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical. Nevertheless, public administration & safety is less prevalent locally, employing 28.4% of the Kambah workforce compared to 30.4% across the Australian Capital Territory. The area is highly residential and appears to offer few local jobs, as reflected in the ratio of the Census working population to the resident population. According to analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS data, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 0.3% and the labor force expand by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Similarly, the Australian Capital Territory experienced a 0.3% rise in employment, a 1.1% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Future demand in Kambah can be explored further using the national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to project future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific trends to the employment profile of Kambah suggests local employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years. This estimation is a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 152 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,670 at the 2021 Census → 15,891 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.
