Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Wanniassa

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Wanniassa has an estimated 7,741 residents, down from 7,885 at the 2021 Census — a change of 144 people, or 1.8%. That puts 1,434 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 Wanniassa stands at roughly 7,741 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 144 people (1.8%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 7,885 people. Such an adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 7,731 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 39 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The resulting population density comes to 1,433 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the nationwide average across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Inbound international migration served as the primary growth contributor, generating close to 55.6% of total population additions over recent timeframes.

SA2 projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 as their baseline are applied by AreaSearch. For any SA2 regions lacking coverage or extending past 2032, age-specific growth trajectories are sourced from ACT Government SA2 projections with a 2022 base. Forward-looking demographic projections under this methodology point toward an overarching population reduction, projecting a contraction of 443 persons by 2041. In contrast, certain age brackets will experience expansion, most notably the 75 to 84 cohort which is forecasted to increase by 145 people. Additional details are outlined in the age breakdown.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Wanniassa

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

60 new dwellings have been approved in Wanniassa over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential planning approvals in Wanniassa have averaged roughly 12 dwellings each year, totaling 60 homes sanctioned throughout the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26). Alongside a shrinking local population, the supply of new housing has matched local requirements comfortably, sustaining an evenly balanced property landscape with ample selection for purchasers, while newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $279,000—a figure below regional levels that signals accessible building price points. Furthermore, $4.4 million in commercial building approvals have been logged during this financial year, pointing to restrained commercial building activity.

On a per-person basis, residential construction rates in Wanniassa align closely with the broader Australian Capital Territory, maintaining a steady balance comparable to neighboring suburbs. Activity sits below the nationwide benchmark, reflecting an established suburban profile with possible urban planning constraints. Recent approvals split evenly into 50.0% standalone homes and 50.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on medium-density building offers attainable market entry opportunities suited to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. It marks a clear departure from the existing dwelling stock (where houses currently make up 90.0%), pointing to a scarcity of greenfield land alongside growing consumer appetite for diverse, cost-effective residential options. A ratio of approximately 871 people per approval highlights the suburb's mature urban character. Given that demographic modeling indicates either static numbers or a downturn, reduced pressure on local housing demand should create favorable conditions for prospective property purchasers.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Wanniassa

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

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. The working-day population is estimated at 6,684, about 86% 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 workforce in Wanniassa displays high levels of education, strong representation across key community services, an unemployment rate of 5.8%, and dependable job market stability over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,978, with the jobless rate tracking 1.7% higher than the Australian Capital Territory benchmark of 4.1%, while overall labour force participation registers slightly below standard at 66.2% versus 70.6% across the Australian Capital Territory. Census figures showed that only 11.7% of working residents performed their duties from home, though potential distortions from Covid-19 restrictions should be noted.

Local workers are predominantly engaged in public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 8.7% of the workforce, lagging behind the 11.1% recorded throughout the Australian Capital Territory. Comparison between Census workplace counts and resident numbers indicates that this predominantly residential district provides comparatively few local employment positions. AreaSearch assessment of data from the ABS and SALM indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, local workforce numbers expanded by 1.0% while employment fell by 0.4%, lifting the local unemployment rate by 1.3 percentage points. In contrast, the wider Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3%, total labour force grow by 1.1%, and unemployment climb by 0.7 percentage points. Projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment trends across Wanniassa. These five- and ten-year national outlooks have been aligned with the area's industry profile to gauge future workforce expansion. While total Australian employment is modeled to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trajectories vary substantially by sector. Weighting these industry projections against Wanniassa's local employment distribution suggests local job numbers could grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (note that this modeling represents a baseline industry weighting for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population adjustments).

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 — 39 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,885 at the 2021 Census → 7,741 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (801071090). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Wanniassa SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Wanniassa page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Wanniassa data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
