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 Flynn (NT)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Flynn (NT) has an estimated 5,355 residents, up from 4,585 at the 2021 Census — a change of 770 people, or 16.8%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 59.5% of that increase. That puts 314 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 demographic research by AreaSearch, the resident count of Flynn reaches approximately 5,355 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 770 people (16.8%) compared to the 4,585 people counted in the 2021 Census. Such growth is derived from ABS figures showing an estimated resident population of 5,355 as of June 2025 alongside 14 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. With this headcount, population density sits at 313 persons per square kilometer, offering generous space per resident and scope for additional building. Flynn outpaced both the Northern Territory and the wider Australian benchmark (9.5%) with its 16.8% expansion rate since the 2021 census, establishing itself as an expansion hub in the territory.

The primary catalyst for this demographic gain has been inbound overseas migration, which made up roughly 59.5% of total net additions across recent tracking windows. Projections for each SA2 district utilise 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models pegged to a 2022 baseline. For locations outside this dataset, or when forecasting beyond 2032 across all territories, age-bracket growth trajectories from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (built upon 2022 benchmarks) are incorporated. Looking forward, Flynn is expected to outpace median expansion rates across regional Australia, with current annual ERP figures indicating a net rise of 824 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 15.4% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Flynn (NT)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

27 new dwellings have been approved in Flynn (NT) over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.1 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 building approvals in Flynn have run at approximately 5 dwellings annually, totaling 27 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this identical period (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 15.2 people per year arrived locally for every residence constructed, creating a scenario where structural demand significantly outstrips new stock, which typically puts upward pressure on prices and intensifies buyer competition. The expected construction cost for newly approved dwellings averages $463,000, aligning with regional trends. Furthermore, $2.5 million in commercial development approvals was logged during the current financial year, underscoring the suburb's overwhelmingly residential focus.

Per capita residential building approvals in Flynn track at approximately two-thirds of the Rest of NT figure, placing the suburb in the 15th percentile across Australia. This constrained development pace restricts purchasing choices while heightening interest in established properties. The figures sit below national norms, illustrating the established character of the area and highlighting potential planning restrictions. Recent building permits comprise 67.0% standalone homes alongside 33.0% attached dwellings, signaling a greater proportion of medium-density formats that cater to varying budgets—ranging from traditional detached houses to entry-level compact options. The ratio of 875 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights a subdued, low-volume development climate. According to the latest quarterly forecasts from AreaSearch, Flynn is anticipated to gain 824 residents by 2041. Should current approval volumes persist, the addition of new housing stock could fall short of resident inflows, likely intensifying competition among purchasers and sustaining upward value momentum.

Frequently Asked Questions - Development

How many dwelling approvals have occurred in the Flynn SA2 recently?
Dwelling approval activity in the the Flynn SA2 area has seen 12 residential approvals over the past two financial years, based on AreaSearch's SA2 aggregation method. The Flynn SA2's current population of 5,355 has been supported by 5 approvals on average over recent years.
How does the Flynn SA2's development activity compare to the broader region?

Is the Flynn SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 824 people by 2041, around 275 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels may be insufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 3.0 persons per dwelling. This indicates potential housing shortages if current approval trends continue.

Are there opportunities for residential developers in the Flynn SA2?
With dwelling approval activity running at an average of 5 approvals per year and a population of 5,355, there appears to be a supply shortfall relative to projected demand, presenting strong opportunities for residential developers.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Flynn (NT)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

3,917 residents of Flynn (NT) are employed, from a labour force of 3,983. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 93.1%. 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 3,799, about 71% 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 market features high levels of education, strong participation in core community services, a very tight jobless rate of 1.7%, and an estimated 2.6% increase in workforce size during the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, employed locals tally 3,917, while unemployment sits 4.2% under the 5.9% recorded across Regional NT. Labour participation is exceptionally elevated at 93.1% versus 69.8% across Regional NT. Census returns indicated that only 2.7% of workers performed their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be kept in mind.

The primary employment drivers for the local workforce consist of health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and retail trade. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of workers compared to the 5.0% regional standard. As a predominantly residential community, Flynn provides comparatively few internal workplaces, evidenced by the disparity between resident workers and local employment positions recorded at the Census. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS figures, employment grew by 2.6% and the labour force expanded by 2.7% during the year ending March 2026, which led to an increase of 0.1% in the unemployment rate. This trend differs from that in Regional NT, where employment climbed by 2.8%, the labour force also grew by 2.7%, and unemployment saw a slight decline. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment outlooks for Mar-26 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in Flynn. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been aligned with Flynn's current employment structure to project potential growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Flynn's employment composition, local employment is expected to grow by 6.9% over five years and by 14.3% over ten years, though it should be noted that this is a basic weighted extrapolation intended for illustration and does not incorporate localized 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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,585 at the 2021 Census → 5,355 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 (702011047). 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 Flynn (NT) 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 Flynn (NT) 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 Flynn (NT) 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 (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 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 Sep 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.
