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
Red Hill (ACT) has an estimated 3,619 residents, up from 3,146 at the 2021 Census — a change of 473 people, or 15.0%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 84% of areas nationally. 144 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 61.0% of that increase. That puts 745 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
Demographic analysis from AreaSearch indicates that the resident count of Red Hill stands at roughly 3,619 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 473 people (15.0%) compared to the 3,146 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,619 alongside 144 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 744 persons per square kilometer, the local population density aligns closely with typical figures across areas monitored by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the broader Australian Capital Territory (8.5%) and its wider SA4 region, Red Hill's 15.0% expansion positions it among the leading growth locations locally.
The principal catalyst behind this population influx has been interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 61.0% of recent net demographic gains. Population projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models pegged to a 2022 baseline. For periods beyond 2032, or locations lacking this coverage, age-specific projections published by the ACT Government (also using 2022 as a base) are applied. Anticipated demographic trajectories point to a rate of expansion sitting marginally below the national statistical area median, with the community projected to add 277 persons by 2041 according to updated annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 7.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
340 new dwellings have been approved in Red Hill (ACT) over the past five years, an average of 68 a year. That is 21.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 68 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% 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 past 5 financial years, residential development in Red Hill has generated 340 homes, maintaining an annual pace of approximately 68 new dwelling approvals. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the arrival of 1.2 new residents per year per approved home pointed to well-balanced supply and demand dynamics, fostering market equilibrium. However, this metric has surged to 12.8 people per dwelling across the past 2 financial years, suggesting heightened buyer interest alongside potential supply constraints. Reflecting a focus on premium construction standards, residential projects carry an average building value of $431,000, moderately higher than broader regional averages.
Furthermore, local commercial approvals reached $22.0 million this financial year, underscoring ongoing non-residential investment. On a per-person basis, Red Hill registers 344.0% more construction activity than the Australian Capital Territory, affording purchasers extensive options even though building momentum has moderated lately. This volume notably exceeds nationwide benchmarks, demonstrating robust developer confidence in the precinct. Recent residential building activity is distributed across 29.0% detached dwellings and 71.0% medium and high-density housing. This strategic emphasis on higher density enhances entry-level affordability while accommodating first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors. It also marks a structural transition away from the current dwelling stock (where houses constitute 79.0%), driven by shifting lifestyle preferences, the pursuit of diversified housing choices, and a dwindling supply of greenfield sites. Meanwhile, the presence of 505 people per dwelling approval characterizes a comparatively calm and low-intensity development landscape. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly assessment, Red Hill's population is projected to expand by 277 residents up to 2041. Given prevailing rates of residential construction, dwelling delivery appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, offering supportive market conditions for buyers and potentially accommodating population growth ahead of current forecasts.

1,980 residents of Red Hill (ACT) are employed, from a labour force of 2,019. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 65.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Red Hill is characterized by a well-educated labor force with a pronounced presence in professional fields, an exceptionally low unemployment rate of 1.9%, and resilient employment conditions over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 1,980 residents are actively employed. The local jobless rate sits 2.1% below the 4.1% recorded for Australian Capital Territory, while labor force participation is comparatively subdued at 65.6% versus 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory. In addition, 16.4% of workers reported working from home during the Census, a figure that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The primary employment sectors for local residents comprise public administration & safety, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance. Local workforce concentration is exceptionally prominent in professional & technical fields, which exceed regional benchmarks by 1.5 times. Conversely, public administration & safety displays lower local representation, engaging 26.6% of Red Hill's employed residents compared to 30.4% across Australian Capital Territory. Evaluating the ratio of working residents against local job numbers suggests that a substantial portion of the community travels outside the area for employment. Analysis from AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures reveals that employment grew by 0.5% and the labour force expanded by 0.9% during the twelve months leading to March 2026, which resulted in an unemployment rate increase of 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, the Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3% alongside a labour force growth of 1.1%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment forecasts dated Mar-26 provide additional context for anticipated future demand in Red Hill. These outlooks span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with the local employment structure to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Red Hill’s current employment distribution, local employment is estimated to grow by 7.1% over five years and by 14.3% over ten years, although this calculation represents a basic weighting exercise 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 — 144 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,146 at the 2021 Census → 3,619 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.
