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
Ngunnawal has an estimated 11,188 residents, up from 10,957 at the 2021 Census — a change of 231 people, or 2.1%. That puts 2,689 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 AreaSearch's findings, the population of Ngunnawal stood at approximately 11,188 as of Aug 2026. This figure represents a rise of 231 individuals, corresponding to a 2.1% increase from the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,957 people. The adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 11,188 as of June 2025 combined with 53 newly validated addresses recorded after the Census date. This population density amounts to 2,689 persons per square kilometer, positioning the area within the upper quartile compared to other national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Natural growth accounted for roughly 60.4% of the total population expansion observed in recent periods.
SA2 projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 using a 2022 base year have been incorporated by AreaSearch. Where SA2 figures are unavailable or for timeframes beyond 2032, age-specific growth trajectories from ACT Government SA2 projections (2022 baseline) are applied. Looking ahead across this timeline, demographic modeling points to an overall contraction of 759 persons by 2041. In contrast, several individual age brackets are set to increase, most notably persons aged 65 to 74, who are projected to grow by 112 people. Further details are provided in the age analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Ngunnawal over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 0.9 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
Approvals for residential construction in Ngunnawal have averaged approximately 9 dwellings each year, totaling 47 homes approved throughout the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), the area absorbed an average of 2.4 new residents annually for every dwelling constructed, demonstrating healthy demand that underpins local property values, with newly approved residences carrying an average construction cost of $280,000—a figure lower than the regional benchmark that indicates comparatively accessible price points for buyers. Relative to Australian Capital Territory, building activity in Ngunnawal remains heavily subdued, sitting 90.0% below regional average per person.
Such constrained construction pipeline generally bolsters demand and valuations for existing stock, even as building volumes have picked up in recent times. Output also trails national levels, highlighting both the maturity of the local market and potential physical limits on development. Furthermore, modern construction has been exclusively focused on medium and high-density formats. Emphasizing higher-density formats provides more accessible price thresholds, catering well to downsizers, property investors, and first-home purchasers. This marks a clear evolution from current residential stock (where separate houses make up 67.0%), pointing to fewer available greenfield sites alongside shifting community lifestyles and rising demand for varied, budget-friendly dwellings. The suburb records roughly 5717 people per dwelling approval, underscoring its established urban fabric. Given that demographic projections point to a plateauing or contracting resident base, pressure on local housing supply should ease, potentially opening up favourable conditions for prospective purchasers.

Ngunnawal Neighbourhood Oval Upgrades
Completed upgrades to Ngunnawal neighbourhood oval including new synthetic pitch, improved drainage, upgraded lighting, and enhanced spectator facilities for local sporting clubs and community use.
6,274 residents of Ngunnawal are employed, from a labour force of 6,581. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 74.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,229, about 74% 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 labor pool in Ngunnawal is characterized by high qualification levels, substantial employment within essential public services, an unemployment level of 4.7%, and consistent job numbers throughout the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,274, with the local jobless rate tracking 0.6% above the 4.1% recorded for Australian Capital Territory, alongside solid labor force participation at 74.1% versus 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory. According to Census findings, a modest 11.1% of workers were based at home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 health restrictions. Public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training represent the three principal industry sectors employing local residents.
Construction displays particularly high local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for 26.7% of resident employment, trailing the wider Australian Capital Territory figure of 30.4%. As a largely residential community, local job creation remains limited based on the ratio between resident workers and jobs located within the boundary during the Census. AreaSearch analysis drawing on SALM and ABS statistics indicates that over the twelve months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 0.4% while the available workforce grew by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe across Australian Capital Territory, job numbers grew by 0.3%, workforce size expanded by 1.1%, and unemployment climbed 0.7 percentage points. Looking forward, national employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide indicative insight into future labour demand relevant to Ngunnawal. These five- and ten-year models have been applied to the local workforce composition to project growth trends. Against nationwide projected expansions of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, sectoral outcomes vary widely. Applying these industry growth rates to Ngunnawal's specific job distribution indicates local workforce demand could rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note that this model uses a direct weighting method for illustrative context without factoring in localized population shifts).

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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,957 at the 2021 Census → 11,188 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.
