Braddon has an estimated 7,641 residents, up from 6,383 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,258 people, or 19.7%. Growth has averaged 3.4% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. 206 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

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 AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates and post-Census validated new addresses, the suburb of Braddon reaches an estimated 7,641 residents as of Aug 2026. Comparing this against the 2021 Census tally of 6,383 people indicates an expansion of 1,258 people (19.7%). This growth is derived from an AreaSearch resident figure of 7,488 following the ABS ERP release in June 2025 alongside 206 validated new addresses post-Census. With 5,419 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Braddon ranks in the top 10% nationwide for population density, reflecting intense demand for local land.
The suburb of Braddon outpaced both the Australian Capital Territory (8.5%) and the wider SA4 region with its 19.7% post-2021 increase. Net overseas arrivals served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 54.0% of recent population additions, while interstate migration and natural increase also provided positive momentum. Demographic modeling incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections with a 2022 baseline, supplemented by ACT Government SA2 age-bracket growth trajectories (2022 base) for post-2032 horizons or areas lacking coverage. Looking forward, the suburb of Braddon is projected to rank within the top quartile across the country for population expansion, gaining 3,013 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 37.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
119 new dwellings have been approved in Braddon over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 144 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 1% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 680, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that the suburb averages roughly 23 residential property approvals annually, totaling an estimated 119 homes over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 680 during FY-25 to date. An intake of 1.6 incoming residents per approved residence over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates balanced supply-demand dynamics and market stability, easing further to 0.6 people per dwelling across the past 2 financial years as residential availability broadened. Approved residential projects average an estimated construction cost of $457,000, tracking moderately above regional benchmarks to highlight a standard of premium building.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $8.4 million during the ongoing financial year, underlining the dominant residential orientation. Compared with Australian Capital Territory, local construction volumes run moderately elevated at 37.0% above regional levels per capita across the 5 year period, offering buyer options while underpinning existing real estate values. This pipeline is notably above the national benchmark, demonstrating heightened developer engagement. Approvals are overwhelmingly concentrated in attached dwellings (99.0%), while standalone houses account for 1.0%. This emphasis on medium-to-high density housing expands attainable options for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and investors alike. With approximately 21 people per dwelling approval, development patterns reflect an expanding urban centre. Long-term projections indicate that the resident count will expand by 2,860 residents through to 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Should building delivery continue at its current pace, additions to the residential stock could trail population growth, tightening market conditions and reinforcing price growth.

5,739 residents of Braddon are employed, from a labour force of 5,925. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 82.3%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. 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 labor pool is characterized by extensive educational attainment and strong professional services concentration, maintaining an unemployment rate of 3.1% alongside steady hiring conditions over the preceding twelve months. AreaSearch figures for March 2026 record 5,739 employed residents, an unemployment figure 0.9% beneath the 4.1% rate for Australian Capital Territory, and a high participation rate of 82.3% compared to 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory. At the Census, working from home was documented at 12.4%, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Workforce participation is centered across public administration & safety, professional & technical services, and education & training.
The local talent base shows distinct specialization in public administration & safety, where its workforce share is 1.4 times regional norms. Conversely, health care & social assistance represents 6.7% of local employment against 11.7% regionally. A ratio of 0.7 jobs per resident at the Census indicates favorable local employment access compared to typical benchmarks. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM series across wider statistical divisions, during the year to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.2% while the labor pool expanded by 1.2%, moving the unemployment rate up by 1.0 percentage points. In comparison, Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3%, the labor force increase by 1.1%, and unemployment lift by 0.7 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national industry outlooks from Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements. While national projections anticipate employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry trajectories vary widely. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local industry profile suggests resident employment could grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (calculated as a direct weighting exercise for illustration without factoring in local demographic 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 — 206 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,383 at the 2021 Census → 7,641 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 (SAL80027). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
