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
Ross has an estimated 3,147 residents, up from 2,706 at the 2021 Census — a change of 441 people, or 16.3%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 71.6% of that increase. Density is about 17 people per 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Ross is estimated to be 3,147 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 441 individuals (16.3%) from the 2,706 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,147 combined with 11 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The density stands at 16.5 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial space per inhabitant. The expansion rate of 16.3% since the 2021 census paced ahead of the national benchmark of 9.3% and the state average, positioning the locality as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 71.6% of the population increase over recent timeframes. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, which use 2022 as their baseline year. In cases where specific SA2 regions lack this data, and to project demographic changes after 2032, growth rates categorized by age group from the latest Greater Capital Region projections (published by the ABS in 2023 using 2022 data) are applied. Looking at future demographic trends, regional Australian locations outside major cities are projected to see population growth above the median, with this specific locality expected to add 582 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 18.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
86 new dwellings have been approved in Ross over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Development approvals in Ross average approximately 17 residences annually, resulting in a total of 86 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During FY-26, 8 approvals have been logged to date. An average of 3 individuals migrated to the district for every new residence built between FY-21 and FY-25, pointing to consistent demand that underpins property valuations, while the average expected construction cost for these new homes is $329,000. Furthermore, commercial development approvals representing $12.5 million have been registered during this financial year, demonstrating ongoing commercial investment in the locality.
Compared against Rest of NT, Ross displays 240.0% more building activity on a per-capita basis, offering prospective buyers a wide range of options despite a deceleration in construction pace in recent times. Modern completions are split evenly between detached houses at 50.0% and multi-dwelling options like apartments or townhouses at 50.0%. This emphasis on higher-density construction provides more economical entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This is a clear departure from the historical housing stock (which stands at 73.0% houses), indicating a reduction in developable land parcels alongside changing lifestyle preferences and a demand for more varied, economical housing types. The ratio of 347 people in the region for every single residential approval highlights the calm, low-scale nature of the local building market. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, population projections indicate Ross will add 582 residents by 2041. Given the current pace of construction, residential supply is expected to align well with demand, maintaining positive conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion that outpaces current projections.

Site preparation and demolition activities are underway as of early 2026, with remediation expected to commence mid-year. The development strictly preserves the heritage-listed St Mary's Chapel and its mural, serving as a focal point for the community and Stolen Generation survivors.
2,088 residents of Ross are employed, from a labour force of 2,128. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 80.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 2,558, about 81% 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
Ross features a qualified workforce with strong representation in critical service industries, an unemployment rate of only 1.9%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.0% over the last year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,088, while the unemployment rate remained 4.0% below the rate of 5.9% seen in Regional NT. Participation in the labor force is high at 80.4%, compared to 69.9% across Regional NT. Census data indicated that a minor portion of the workforce, 6.1%, worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and construction. The community displays a marked concentration in construction, where the employment share is 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector has minimal representation, employing just 1.1% of the local workforce compared to 5.0% in Regional NT. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the area are relatively scarce. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 3.0% and the workforce grow by 2.8%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Regional NT, employment rose by 2.8%, the labor force grew by 2.7%, and the unemployment rate decreased slightly. National employment projections published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future workforce requirements in Ross. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific rates onto the employment profile of Ross indicates a local employment expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted calculation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

Getting around Ross means driving: households keep an average of 1.6 vehicles, and scheduled services reach only a handful of stops. Service data is built from operators' published GTFS timetables; vehicle ownership is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Analysis of the public transport network shows 11 active bus stops operating in Ross. These stops are served by 2 distinct routes that provide a total of 54 passenger trips per week. Transport accessibility is considered low, with the average distance to the nearest stop being 2439 meters. Due to the residential nature of the area, most residents travel elsewhere for work, with private vehicles remaining the primary mode of transport at 91%, followed by walking at 6%. The average number of vehicles per household is 1.6, which is higher than the regional average.
A small proportion of residents, 6.1%, work from home, based on 2021 Census data which may reflect pandemic-era conditions. Service frequency averages 7 runs per day across the route network, which represents roughly 4 weekly trips for each individual stop.

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 — 11 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,706 at the 2021 Census → 3,147 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.
