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
Narrabundah has an estimated 7,191 residents, up from 6,455 at the 2021 Census — a change of 736 people, or 11.4%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years, faster than 76% of areas nationally. 122 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 82.1% of that increase. That puts 1,758 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Narrabundah stands at approximately 7,191 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 736 people (11.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 6,455 people. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 7,014 from June 2025 and 122 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density ratio of 1,758 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure observed across national areas reviewed by AreaSearch. The area's 11.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the state (8.3%) as well as the wider SA4 region, making it a regional leader in population growth.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for approximately 82.1% of all population increases during recent timeframes. For each SA2 location, AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking coverage in this dataset, and for any years after 2032, age cohort growth trends from the ACT Government's SA2 projections (using 2022 as a base) are applied. Future population forecasts suggest the area will experience growth above the national median for statistical zones, with projections indicating an increase of 1,041 persons by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 12.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
170 new dwellings have been approved in Narrabundah over the past five years, an average of 34 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 24 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 50% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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
On average, Narrabundah records approximately 34 new residential approvals annually, totaling 170 approved dwellings over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 16 during FY-26 to date. With an average of 3.4 new residents arriving per constructed dwelling over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand outstrips the supply of new housing, which typically drives up pricing and buyer rivalry, while new homes carry an average construction value of $274,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $19.8 million have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to steady commercial development projects.
In comparison to Australian Capital Territory, Narrabundah registers roughly 59% of the per capita construction activity, ranking in the 47th percentile of locations analyzed across the country, which translates to relatively scarce options for buyers and bolsters demand for existing properties. Newly approved housing is divided equally between standalone homes (50.0%) and attached dwellings (50.0%). This equal split toward higher-density options provides lower-cost paths to ownership, attracting downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This patterns represents a clear departure from the current housing stock (which stands at 68.0% houses), pointing to a shrinking pool of buildable land and reflecting modern preferences for more varied, economical housing options. The figure of approximately 352 people for every dwelling approval points to a mature property market. Looking forward, Narrabundah is projected to add 864 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. Current building volumes seem aligned with upcoming requirements, promoting balanced market conditions without driving excessive price growth.

3,745 residents of Narrabundah are employed, from a labour force of 3,892. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 65.9%. 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 5,914, about 82% 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 highly qualified labor force characterizes Narrabundah, showing a significant concentration of professionals, a low unemployment rate of 3.8%, and steady job conditions over the past year. In March 2026, 3,745 residents were employed, while the local unemployment rate was 0.3% below the Australian Capital Territory average of 4.1%, and the participation rate of 65.9% was slightly lower than the Australian Capital Territory benchmark of 70.8%. Census returns show a minor 13.2% of the workforce operating from home, though this figure may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance.
In contrast, education & training accounts for a smaller share at 8.5% compared to the regional benchmark of 9.6%. The district is mostly residential and offers relatively few local jobs, as shown by the relationship between the Census working population and resident population counts. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the year ending March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 0.4% and the total labor force grew by 1.2%, which led to a 0.8 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Australian Capital Territory experienced a 0.3% rise in employment, a 1.1% increase in the labor force, and a 0.7 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term employment trends within Narrabundah can be analyzed using the national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment shifts. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these figures vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry-level projections to the local workforce mix suggests that employment for Narrabundah residents will expand by 6.5% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 122 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,455 at the 2021 Census → 7,191 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.
