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
Reid has an estimated 2,063 residents, up from 1,544 at the 2021 Census — a change of 519 people, or 33.6%. Growth has averaged 5.1% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 60.8% of that increase. That puts 2,195 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 calculations performed by AreaSearch, the population of Reid stands at approximately 2,063 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 519 residents (33.6%) from the 2021 Census, when the count was 1,544 people. The adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 2,013 in June 2025 alongside address verification processes carried out after the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 2,194 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density of nationwide areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The expansion of 33.6% since the 2021 census outpaced the state rate of 8.3% as well as the SA4 territory, positioning the suburb as a primary driver of growth in the region.
The population gains were mainly propelled by overseas migration, which represented close to 60.8% of the total increase, though all components including interstate movement and natural increase made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 zones, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for any years after 2032, age cohort growth rates from the ACT Government's SA2 projections starting from a 2022 baseline are applied. Future projections point to substantial population gains that place the locality in the top quartile of Australian statistical areas, with expectations of adding 641 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, which translates to a total rise of 28.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Approximately 1 new home has been approved annually in Reid, with a total of 9 homes approved throughout the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 0 approvals recorded in FY-26 so far. Because an average of 49.6 new residents arrived per completed home over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply by a wide margin, which generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new builds carry an average value of $524,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium properties.
In comparison to Australian Capital Territory, Reid exhibits significantly lower construction activity (92.0% below the regional average per capita). This restricted volume of new completions generally provides support for established home prices and demand, even though development has shown some upward movement in recent periods. This level is also below the national average, reflecting the mature nature of the suburb and suggesting the presence of planning restrictions. Additionally, recent construction is composed entirely of detached houses, preserving the classic suburban feel of the neighborhood with a focus on spacious family homes. The emphasis on detached homes in new projects is higher than historical patterns indicate (36.0% at the Census), showing persistent demand for single-family residences despite pressure for higher density. There are approximately 1251 residents per dwelling approval, which highlights the established nature of the local market. Demographic projections indicate that Reid is set to add 591 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current low levels, the supply of housing may fall behind population growth, which is likely to increase competition among buyers and support future price growth.

1,196 residents of Reid are employed, from a labour force of 1,252. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 68.1%. 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, 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 1,852, about 90% 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 workforce in Reid is characterized by high levels of education, with a strong concentration of professionals, an unemployment rate of 4.5%, and an annual employment growth rate estimated at 0.6%. In March 2026, there were 1,196 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.4% higher than the Australian Capital Territory rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is slightly below average (68.1% compared to 70.8% in the Australian Capital Territory). Census data indicates that a moderate 15.3% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are public administration & safety, professional & technical, and education & training. The neighborhood displays a strong specialization in professional & technical services, with a workforce share that is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, employing only 6.9% of the local workforce compared to 11.7% in the Australian Capital Territory. Even though some employment opportunities exist locally, a significant number of residents appear to commute to other areas for work, judging by the ratio of the Census working population relative to the local population. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12-month period ending March 2026, employment grew by 0.6% and the labor force expanded by 0.9%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3%, the labor force expand by 1.1%, and unemployment increase by 0.7 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective labor demand in Reid. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local employment profiles to project growth trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, although the rates vary widely by industry. Applying these sectoral projections to the employment composition of Reid indicates that local employment would increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (this represents a direct weighting calculation for demonstration purposes 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,544 at the 2021 Census → 2,063 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.
