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
Taylor has an estimated 8,506 residents, up from 2,220 at the 2021 Census — a change of 6,286 people, or 283.2%. 675 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 82.7% of that increase. That puts 2,085 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
Based on demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the population of Taylor is calculated at approximately 8,506 as of May 2026. This marks an expansion of 6,286 individuals (283.2%) compared to the 2,220 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 8,506 from June 2025 alongside 675 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,084 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical density of locations analyzed by AreaSearch nationwide. The population expansion of 283.2% since the 2021 census outpaced the state (8.3%) and the SA4 region, positioning the suburb as a primary driver of growth in the area.
This upward trend was mostly powered by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 82.7% of the total population increase during recent timeframes, though natural growth and overseas migration also registered positive gains. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In cases where data is unavailable for specific SA2 locations, or for projection years beyond 2032, age cohort growth trends from the ACT Government's SA2 projections with a 2022 base year are utilized. Anticipated future population trends point to exceptional growth within the top 10 percent of statistical areas across Australia, with the locality projected to add 6,197 people by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 37.7% increase overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
2,032 new dwellings have been approved in Taylor over the past five years, an average of 406 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 48 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 292 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 59% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 118, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Taylor has seen approximately 406 residential property approvals on an annual basis, amounting to 2,032 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 109 during the current FY-26. Healthy demand is indicated by an average of 2.1 additional occupants per year for each approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), a rate that should help maintain property values, with the average construction cost of new dwellings sitting at $235,000. Commercial development approvals reached $249,000 during this financial year, which highlights the highly residential nature of the suburb.
Taylor registers 1984.0% more building approvals per capita than the Australian Capital Territory average, offering more options for purchasers despite a recent deceleration in development activity. This level of activity is significantly above the national benchmark, showing strong builder confidence. Recent residential building permits consist of 59.0% detached houses and 41.0% attached dwellings, with a rising proportion of townhouses and apartments offering choices at different price points, ranging from family homes to budget-friendly compact housing. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock (of which 83.0% consists of houses), pointing to a decrease in available greenfield land and reflecting changing lifestyles and affordability considerations. There are about 103 people per dwelling approval in the locality, pointing to an expanding market. Looking forward, the population of Taylor is projected to increase by 3,203 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests that housing supply will be sufficient to satisfy demand, creating a balanced environment for purchasers and potentially supporting growth that surpasses current projections.

2,496 residents of Taylor are employed, from a labour force of 2,666. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 44.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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 7,732, about 91% 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 labor force in Taylor is highly educated, featuring strong representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of 6.4%. As of March 2026, there are 2,496 employed residents, with an unemployment rate that is 2.3% higher than the Australian Capital Territory level of 4.1%, while workforce participation is significantly lower (44.2% compared to 70.8% in the Australian Capital Territory). Census records indicate that a low 9.0% of the working population operated from home, though this may have been influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical.
The suburb displays a strong employment specialization in health care & social assistance, with its share of jobs reaching 1.5 times the wider regional rate. Conversely, public administration & safety is underrepresented, employing 23.7% of the Taylor workforce compared to 30.4% in the Australian Capital Territory. Comparison of Census data for the local working population versus resident workers suggests that this highly residential area provides a limited volume of local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force expanded by 1.0% while employment fell by 1.7% during the year ending March 2026, leading to a 2.6 percentage point increase in unemployment. Over the same period, the Australian Capital Territory recorded a 0.3% rise in employment and a 1.1% expansion in the labor force, with unemployment rising by 0.7 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context on future labor demand in Taylor. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate potential employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trends vary widely by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment structure of Taylor indicates that local jobs could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison 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 — 675 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,220 at the 2021 Census → 8,506 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.
