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
Mawson has an estimated 3,547 residents, up from 3,440 at the 2021 Census — a change of 107 people, or 3.1%. That puts 1,681 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, Mawson has a population of approximately 3,547 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 107 people (3.1%) from the 3,440 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,526 combined with 55 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Consequently, the population density stands at 1,681 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the national average for locations analysed by AreaSearch. The primary driver of this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 75.1% of the total population increase in recent times.
Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and for the period following 2032, age cohort growth rates from ACT Government projections, also utilizing a 2022 base, are implemented. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, growth is expected to align with the lower quartile of statistical areas nationwide, with the population projected to rise by 66 persons by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 1.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
76 new dwellings have been approved in Mawson over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 4.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 31, running ahead of 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
Approximately 15 residential building approvals are granted annually in Mawson, amounting to 76 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 29 approvals have been logged. With an average of only 0.5 new residents per year per approved home between FY-21 and FY-25, the local housing supply is keeping pace with or outstripping demand. This provides prospective buyers with various choices and allows for population increases beyond current projections, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $281,000. Furthermore, $1.1 million in commercial building approvals have been registered during this financial year, pointing to a focus that is mostly residential.
New construction activity in Mawson is low compared to the broader Australian Capital Territory, tracking 73.0% below the regional average per capita. This low rate of new supply typically supports demand and property values for existing homes. Of the new building approvals, 46.0% are standalone homes while 54.0% are townhouses or apartments. This shift towards higher density options offers more affordable pathways to entry and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. A ratio of approximately 385 people per dwelling approval indicates a mature market profile. Looking forward, Mawson is projected to add 45 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Given the current pace of building activity, housing supply appears sufficient to satisfy demand, generating advantageous conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating population growth that outpaces current predictions.

Minor structural amendments to the approved stage one design remain under assessment.
1,941 residents of Mawson are employed, from a labour force of 1,994. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 68.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,040, about 86% 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, strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.8% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 1,941 residents employed, and the unemployment rate is 1.4% lower than the 4.1% rate recorded across the Australian Capital Territory. Workforce participation stands at 68.2%, which is slightly lower than the Australian Capital Territory average of 70.8%. Census data indicates that a modest 10.1% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
Resident employment is heavily concentrated in public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. Notably, health care & social assistance jobs are 1.6 times more concentrated here than the regional average. Conversely, public administration & safety is less prominent locally, employing 27.8% of the workforce compared to 30.4% across the Australian Capital Territory. The comparison between the Census working population and resident population suggests that this highly residential area offers limited local employment opportunities. According to an AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures, employment rose by 1.8% and the labour force expanded by 1.2% during the year to March 2026, which pushed the unemployment rate down by 0.6 percentage points. Meanwhile, the Australian Capital Territory recorded employment growth of 0.3% alongside a 1.1% increase in the labour force, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Mawson. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with the local employment structure to project growth trends. National employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-specific growth rates vary considerably. When these industry projections are applied to Mawson's current employment composition, local employment is projected to rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, though this calculation represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes 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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,440 at the 2021 Census → 3,547 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.
