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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Taylor stands at approximately 8,506 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2021 Census total of 2,220 people, this represents a net expansion of 6,286 people (283.2%). This figure is derived by combining the ABS estimated resident population of 8,506 recorded as of June 2025 with 675 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 2,084 persons per square kilometer, local density exceeds the typical benchmark across all Australian locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Taylor's 283.2% expansion since the 2021 census outstripped the broader territory mark (8.5%) and the wider SA4 region, establishing it among the most rapid regional expansion hotspots.
Inbound interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 82.7% of total net population additions in recent times, supplemented by positive inflows from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections utilized by AreaSearch for every SA2 territory rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For locations outside this dataset, or for intervals extending beyond 2032, age-cohort trends are drawn from ACT Government SA2 projections that also use 2022 as a starting point. In light of anticipated demographic shifts, Taylor is slated for exceptional expansion that ranks within the upper 10 percent of nationwide regions, with the local population projected to increase by 6,197 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP statistics, translating to an overall 37.7% gain over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,572 new dwellings have been approved in Taylor over the past five years, an average of 314 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 37 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 315 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 59% 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
Residential building approvals in Taylor have maintained an annual pace of roughly 314 new dwellings, accumulating 1,572 approved homes over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same period across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), the area absorbed an average of 2.7 new residents per year per dwelling, signaling solid underlying demand that bolsters home values, while newly consented dwellings carry an average construction value of $332,000. On the commercial front, registered building approvals during this financial year totaled $249,000, pointing to subdued non-residential development activity.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Taylor outpaces the Australian Capital Territory by 1382.0%. While building momentum has moderated in recent times, purchasers enjoy an expanded range of housing options. This intensity sits substantially above nationwide averages, underscoring elevated builder confidence across the suburb. Recent building pipelines consist of 59.0% separate houses alongside 41.0% multi-unit dwellings, introducing a broader selection of apartments and townhouses that cater to varying budgets, spanning family-sized properties to compact, cost-effective residences. This marks an evolving transition away from the existing property footprint (where detached houses comprise 83.0%), reflecting constraints on raw land parcels as well as growing resident preference for diversified, economical housing styles. There are roughly 100 people per dwelling approval across the suburb, highlighting an expanding residential market. Demographic outlooks project that Taylor will welcome an additional 3,203 residents through to 2041 (benchmarked against the latest quarterly assessment from AreaSearch). Given ongoing construction volumes, residential completions are expected to keep pace with housing demand, maintaining supportive conditions for home purchasers while providing capacity for growth that could exceed baseline forecasts.

2,496 residents of Taylor are employed, from a labour force of 2,666. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 44.9%. 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 local labour pool in Taylor displays high qualification levels alongside solid representation in essential services, operating with an unemployment rate of 6.4%. As of March 2026, employed locals numbered 2,496, whereas the unemployment figure exceeded the broader Australian Capital Territory rate of 4.1% by 2.3%, and local labor force engagement trailed territory benchmarks markedly (recording 44.9% against 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory). Census responses indicated that a modest 9.0% of the workforce operated from home, an outcome that must be interpreted alongside the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are concentrated primarily across public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services.
Taylor demonstrates a pronounced sector concentration in health care & social assistance, where the local worker proportion reaches 1.5 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for a smaller footprint locally, employing 23.7% of workers in Taylor compared to 30.4% across Australian Capital Territory. As indicated by the divergence between Census resident worker counts and day-time employment totals, the suburb is predominantly residential with limited internal employment generation. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS figures show that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce grew by 1.0% while employment contracted by 1.7%, resulting in a 2.6 percentage point rise in the jobless rate. By comparison, Australian Capital Territory registered employment expansion of 0.3% and labour pool growth of 1.1%, alongside an uptick of 0.7 percentage points. Additional perspective on future local labour requirements is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national industry projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year modeling horizons have been aligned with Taylor's workforce structure to evaluate expected employment trajectories. Across Australia, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across separate sectors. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the local worker distribution indicates potential job growth of 6.9% across five years and 14.1% over ten years for Taylor (note that this reflects an illustrative weighted extrapolation without adjustments for local 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 — 675 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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.
