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.

Fisher (ACT) has an estimated 3,344 residents, up from 3,219 at the 2021 Census — a change of 125 people, or 3.9%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. That puts 2,117 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 ABS demographic data and recent address updates verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Fisher (ACT) has a projected population of approximately 3,344 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 125 residents (3.9%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 3,219 individuals. The estimate is drawn from a local population of 3,334 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 11 validated new addresses identified after the Census. This population size results in a density of 2,116 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the typical density across locations analyzed nationally by AreaSearch.
The 3.9% expansion rate of the suburb of Fisher (ACT) since the 2021 census paced ahead of the wider SA3 region (1.9%), positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. This population lift was largely underpinned by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 70.0% of the overall demographic increase in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes demographic projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For SA2 sectors lacking this coverage, and for the years following 2032, cohort growth rates are drawn from the ACT Government's SA2 projections, also using a 2022 baseline. Looking ahead at local demographics, forecasts point to a minor contraction in the aggregate population, with the total count for the suburb of Fisher (ACT) expected to shrink by 6 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, specific age brackets are set to expand, particularly the cohort aged 85 and over, which is estimated to grow by 60 people. Refer to the age section for further information.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
28 new dwellings have been approved in Fisher (ACT) over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below 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
Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building permits distributed from broader statistical divisions, Fisher averages approximately 5 approved residential dwellings annually, culminating in an estimated 28 residential approvals over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 3 approvals have been logged. With an average of 7.7 additional residents per year for each completed dwelling during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand is running well ahead of supply, which commonly exerts upward pressure on dwelling values and heightens buyer competition, while newly constructed homes average an estimated cost of $303,000.
Compared to the Australian Capital Territory, Fisher's per-capita rate of new home approvals is roughly three-quarters of the territory average, ranking in the 17th percentile of all locations analyzed nationally, which restricts options for prospective purchasers and reinforces demand for existing properties. This rate also sits below the national benchmark, highlighting the established nature of the locality and implying potential planning constraints. Local residential additions comprise 60.0% standalone houses and 40.0% medium and high-density dwellings, reflecting a growing proportion of medium-density structures that diversify price points, ranging from conventional family properties to cheaper compact options. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock, which is 83.0% houses, pointing to a scarcity of greenfield land and adjusting to changing lifestyle choices and affordability pressures. With approximately 949 residents per dwelling approval, Fisher presents as an established, built-out community. With flat or contracting demographic projections, Fisher could experience reduced pressure on its housing stock, leading to more advantageous conditions for purchasers.

1,665 residents of Fisher (ACT) are employed, from a labour force of 1,755. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 67.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,599, about 78% 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
Data compiled by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries shows Fisher has a highly qualified labor force, robust representation in vital services, and an unemployment rate of 5.1%. In March 2026, working residents numbered 1,665, while the local unemployment rate sat 1.1% higher than the Australian Capital Territory benchmark of 4.1%, and the participation rate was slightly subdued at 67.1% compared to 70.8% across the territory. Census responses indicate that a minor portion of the workforce, 12.9%, performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training. In contrast, the retail sector is underrepresented, employing only 4.9% of the local workforce compared to 6.6% across the Australian Capital Territory. Comparing the Census count of working individuals to the resident population suggests this mostly residential locality offers few employment options within its boundaries. An analysis of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from broader statistical regions indicates that over the 12-month period, the local workforce grew by 1.1% while total employment fell by 0.7%, resulting in a 1.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. Over the same span, the Australian Capital Territory recorded a 0.3% rise in employment and a 1.1% expansion of the labor force, yielding a 0.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer context on future workforce demands in Fisher. These five-year 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 widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the local occupation profile suggests employment in Fisher would grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that excludes local demographic projections.

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 (3,219 at the 2021 Census → 3,344 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.
