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 7,206 residents, up from 6,455 at the 2021 Census — a change of 751 people, or 11.6%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years, faster than 76% of areas nationally. 127 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 82.1% of that increase. That puts 1,762 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
As of Aug 2026, evaluations by AreaSearch place the resident population of Narrabundah at approximately 7,206 individuals. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 6,455 people, this represents an expansion of 751 residents, or 11.6%. This demographic shift draws on ABS estimated resident population figures showing 7,014 people as of June 2025 alongside 127 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local density reaches 1,761 persons per square kilometer, exceeding national benchmark locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the broader SA4 region and the state average of 8.5%, Narrabundah's 11.6% post-2021 Census expansion establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner.
Incoming overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 82.1% of recent net gains. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas not included in those datasets or for periods after 2032, calculations incorporate ACT Government SA2 cohort growth projections using 2022 as a base. Looking ahead, local demographic expansion is anticipated to sit above the national median for statistical areas. Supported by current annual ERP data, Narrabundah is projected to add 996 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 11.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
140 new dwellings have been approved in Narrabundah over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 50% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential building approvals in Narrabundah have held steady at approximately 28 units annually, delivering 140 homes in total. Across the period between FY-22 and FY-26, incoming population averaged 4.2 new residents each year for every home built, creating a situation where structural demand outpaces fresh stock, an imbalance that typically heightens buyer competition and lifts property values. Approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $406,000. On the non-residential side, commercial building approvals have reached $19.8 million during this financial year, reflecting a steady development cadence.
On a per-person metric, construction volumes in Narrabundah trail the Australian Capital Territory by 13.0% and place the suburb in the 37th percentile across national assessments, restricting buyer availability and sustaining demand for established housing. Recent residential approvals are split evenly between 50.0% detached dwellings and 50.0% attached dwellings. This transition toward medium and higher density offers affordable entry points suitable for downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. It also marks a departure from existing stock (where houses currently make up 68.0%), underscoring a scarcity of greenfield parcels, changing resident preferences, and a requirement for varied, attainable housing. The ratio of roughly 398 people per dwelling approval characterizes a mature residential sector. Demographic projections based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release suggest an influx of 804 residents into Narrabundah leading up to 2041. The prevailing rate of building activity aligns neatly with this expected intake, encouraging orderly conditions across the local property market without triggering excessive price inflation.

3,745 residents of Narrabundah are employed, from a labour force of 3,892. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 66.1%. 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 5,931, 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
Narrabundah features a well-educated labor force with a strong presence of professional services, an unemployment rate of only 3.8%, and fairly steady employment over the previous year. As of March 2026, 3,745 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 0.3% lower than the Australian Capital Territory's rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is somewhat below standard at 66.1% compared to the Australian Capital Territory's 70.6%. According to Census data, a low 13.2% of residents were recorded working from home, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Local resident employment is heavily clustered in professional & technical, public administration & safety, as well as health care & social assistance. In contrast, education & training represents 8.5% of working residents, trailing the broader territory proportion of 9.6%. A comparison between local resident counts and Census day working populations indicates that the suburb functions predominantly as a residential district offering relatively few internal employment positions. AreaSearch examined SALM and ABS figures to determine that employment rose by 0.4% and the labour force expanded by 1.2% during the year to March 2026, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, the Australian Capital Territory saw employment grow by 0.3%, the labour force grow by 1.1%, and unemployment increase by 0.7 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia regarding the Mar-26 period provide additional context for anticipating future demand in Narrabundah. These projections span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Narrabundah's current employment composition, local employment is projected to rise by 6.5% over five years and by 13.2% over ten years. It is important to note that this calculation uses a simple weighting method for illustration 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 — 127 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,455 at the 2021 Census → 7,206 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.
