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
Phillip has an estimated 7,528 residents, up from 5,197 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,331 people, or 44.9%. Growth has averaged 8.5% a year over five years, faster than 97% of areas nationally. 2,137 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 64.7% of that increase. That puts 2,929 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Phillip stands at approximately 7,528 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,331 individuals (44.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 5,197 residents. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 7,147 and 2,137 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,929 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile of all areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The 44.9% expansion rate since the 2021 Census outpaced the broader SA3 region (7.0%) as well as the state, establishing the suburb as a primary growth hub.
This demographic expansion was chiefly propelled by arrivals from other states, accounting for roughly 64.7% of the total population increase, though overseas arrivals and natural increase also made positive contributions. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch uses projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the base year. Where these figures are unavailable, or for timeframes extending past 2032, age cohort growth projections from the ACT Government with a 2022 baseline are applied. Looking ahead, demographic modeling forecasts rapid population growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of all statistical zones assessed by AreaSearch, with the suburb projected to add 3,886 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, representing a cumulative increase of 46.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
2,709 new dwellings have been approved in Phillip over the past five years, an average of 541 a year. That places the area in the 89th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 72 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 541 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Phillip records approximately 541 residential approvals annually, totaling 2,709 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with 0 recorded in FY-26. Because only 0.9 new residents were added for each completed home during the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is keeping pace with or running ahead of demand, offering buyers more options and creating capacity for population increases beyond current forecasts, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $317,000, which is slightly higher than the regional benchmark and points to a focus on premium projects.
Additionally, commercial approvals for the current financial year stand at $27.9 million, indicating stable non-residential building activity. In comparison to the Australian Capital Territory, building approvals per resident in Phillip are 510.0% higher, offering purchasers a wider range of options, even though the pace of construction has declined lately. The level of building is far higher than the national average, pointing to significant developer interest in the area. Furthermore, all recent construction projects have consisted of medium and high-density formats. This shift toward denser housing types offers affordable pathways into the market and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. The ratio of around 26 residents per approval indicates a developing precinct. Demographic projections indicate that Phillip is set to add 3,493 residents by 2041 based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to satisfy demand, creating positive conditions for home buyers and potentially supporting population growth that outstrips current projections.

4,643 residents of Phillip are employed, from a labour force of 4,810. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 75.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 15,796, about 2.1 times the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 highly educated and has a strong presence in essential service industries, with an unemployment rate of just 3.5% and stable employment patterns over the previous year. In March 2026, 4,643 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 0.6% lower than the Australian Capital Territory average of 4.1%, while workforce participation stood at a standard 75.7% compared to 70.8% across the Australian Capital Territory. Census data shows that a minor 9.7% of residents worked from home, although this figure may be affected by pandemic-era lockdowns.
The local workforce is concentrated in the fields of public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. The area exhibits a notable concentration of health care & social assistance workers, with its share of employment reaching 2.1 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, the education & training sector employs only 5.4% of the local workforce, compared to 9.6% across the Australian Capital Territory. With a ratio of 2.8 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, the suburb operates as an employment center, containing more jobs than working residents and drawing commuters from neighboring suburbs. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics indicates that for the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed persons grew by 0.1% while the overall labor force expanded by 1.2%, leading to a 1.0 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3% and the labor force grow by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future labor demand in Phillip can be interpreted using national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been combined with local employment structures to project potential patterns. Globally, national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these trajectories vary widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local job profile suggests employment in Phillip could rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 2,137 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,197 at the 2021 Census → 7,528 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.
