This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Coombs has an estimated 6,817 residents, up from 4,851 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,966 people, or 40.5%. Growth has averaged 7.5% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 684 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
Drawing on ABS demographic revisions across the surrounding region alongside newly confirmed addresses recorded by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Coombs recorded an estimated resident total of approximately 6,817 by Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 1,966 people (40.5%) relative to the 2021 Census benchmark of 4,851 people. Such growth builds upon the 6,159 resident baseline evaluated by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 684 validated new addresses established post-Census. With 2,938 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Coombs sits in the upper quartile for population density nationwide in AreaSearch benchmarks.
Furthermore, the 40.5% growth rate registered by the suburb of Coombs outpaced both the Australian Capital Territory baseline of 8.5% and the broader SA4 region, positioning it as a local growth pacesetter. Net interstate arrivals served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 56.99999999999999% of population additions over recent intervals, complemented by positive additions from natural increase and overseas migration. Long-term demographic modelling incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections calibrated to a 2022 baseline, supplemented by ACT Government SA2 age-bracket projections (2022 base) for non-covered locations and post-2032 horizons. Future projections place the suburb of Coombs within the top quartile across nationwide statistical areas, with cumulative SA2-level figures pointing to a gain of 2,540 persons by 2041, representing a 27.6% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
493 new dwellings have been approved in Coombs over the past five years, an average of 98 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 59 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 7% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 95, broadly in line with 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
Examining ABS residential approval statistics aggregated at the statistical area level, residential building activity in Coombs has tracked at roughly 98 dwellings per annum, amounting to approximately 493 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 95 approvals have been documented. Inflow trends show an average of 6.6 people entering the community per completed home across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating that building output is lagging population pressure and creating tight purchasing conditions, with approved dwellings reflecting an expected construction cost of $383,000.
Non-residential additions remain minimal, with $34,000 in commercial approvals lodged this financial year, underscoring an overwhelmingly residential focus. Relative to Australian Capital Territory benchmarks, residential construction in Coombs is exceptionally subdued (82.0% below the per-capita regional figure). This constrained pace of building activity tends to reinforce pricing and buyer interest across existing stock. Contemporary approvals are divided into 7.0% detached houses and 93.0% medium and high-density housing, a shift toward denser urban formats that delivers attainable price tiers for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and property investors. This development profile represents a distinct pivot from current local patterns (38.0% houses), driven by limited broadacre land availability, lifestyle changes, and affordability dynamics, with the suburb showing a developing profile at roughly 106 people per approval. Over the period extending to 2041, the population of Coombs is projected to expand by 1,882 residents based on the latest quarterly assessment from AreaSearch. Sustaining current construction volumes should enable local supply to satisfy demand requirements, fostering stable market dynamics for purchasers and creating capacity to accommodate growth above baseline projections.

3,685 residents of Coombs are employed, from a labour force of 3,812. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 80.5%. 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 5,176, about 76% 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 force exhibits high educational attainment, strong engagement in public and community services, a low jobless rate of 3.3%, and a 0.5% increase in employment over the preceding year according to AreaSearch statistical area datasets. By March 2026, 3,685 residents were employed, while local unemployment sat 0.7% below the Australian Capital Territory level of 4.1%, accompanied by an elevated participation rate of 80.5% versus 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory. Remote work was recorded at 10.3% during the Census, a figure subject to the context of pandemic restrictions at that time.
Employment among residents is concentrated heavily in public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. Workforce representation in health care & social assistance is especially elevated, reaching 1.4 times the territory-wide proportion. Conversely, construction accounts for a modest share, engaging 5.2% of local workers compared to 6.8% across Australian Capital Territory. The area functions primarily as a residential dormitory suburb with limited internal commercial employment, as evidenced by the disparity between the local working population and resident worker counts. According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM series for the year ending March 2026, local employment expanded by 0.5% against a 1.1% increase in the labour force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage points uptick in the unemployment rate. Across Australian Capital Territory over the same timeframe, jobs grew by 0.3%, the labour pool increased by 1.1%, and joblessness rose by 0.7 percentage points. Looking forward, Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 project overall national job expansion of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Aligning these national industry trends with the local employment base indicates prospective job growth of 6.9% across five years and 14.1% over ten years (representing an unadjusted weighted projection that excludes 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 — 684 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,851 at the 2021 Census → 6,817 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.
