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.

Sales Detail
Gordon (ACT) has an estimated 7,785 residents, down from 7,892 at the 2021 Census — a change of 107 people, or 1.4%. That puts 1,753 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 evaluations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region, alongside newly verified address data from AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Gordon (ACT) is calculated to have approximately 7,785 residents as of May 2026. This represents a drop of 107 people (1.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 7,892 people. This shift is deduced from a resident count of 7,783, estimated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP dataset (June 2025) and subsequent address audits. Such a population size yields a density of 1,753 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical ratio observed across other Australian localities analyzed by AreaSearch.
Although the suburb of Gordon (ACT) experienced a 1.4% contraction after the census, the encompassing SA3 region recorded a 1.4% expansion, showcasing contrasting demographic directions. The population increase in this zone was chiefly fueled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 50.0% of the overall demographic improvements in recent times. AreaSearch implements the demographic projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for any years beyond 2032, age cohort growth rates from the ACT Government's SA2 projections (using a 2022 baseline) are applied instead. Forward-looking demographic projections indicate a downward trend, with the population of the suburb of Gordon (ACT) projected to contract by 524 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected among particular age brackets, led by individuals aged 65 to 74, who are expected to grow in number by 202 people. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Based on AreaSearch's investigation of ABS building approvals allocated from regional statistics, Gordon has averaged approximately 1 approved residential property annually, representing a total of 6 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 2 approvals have been documented. Because the local population contracted during the previous timeframe, the housing inventory has remained sufficient to meet demand, establishing a balanced marketplace with favorable options for purchasers, while newly approved residences carry an average building cost of $480,000, showing that builders are focusing on the upscale market with premium products.
Furthermore, $125,000 in commercial approvals have been registered during this financial period, pointing to a low level of business development. Relative to the Australian Capital Territory, Gordon displays a low volume of construction activity (93.0% below the state average per capita). This restricted volume of new completions generally supports demand and price levels for established properties, even though building approvals have quickened lately. This volume also tracks below the national benchmark, highlighting the mature state of the local area and hinting at potential regulatory constraints. Meanwhile, recent building approvals have consisted entirely of detached houses, reinforcing the residential character of the neighborhood with a focus on spacious homes for families. Interestingly, builders are creating a higher proportion of standalone houses than the existing housing profile indicates (69.0% at the Census), reflecting sustained demand for family residences. With approximately 5188 residents for each approved home, Gordon displays the characteristics of a highly established market. With the local population projected to stabilize or shrink, Gordon should experience less pressure on its housing inventory, which may present favorable conditions for property buyers.

4,376 residents of Gordon (ACT) are employed, from a labour force of 4,609. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 72.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,736, about 74% 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
Gordon boasts a competent labor force where critical service industries hold strong representation, alongside a unemployment level of 5.1% and a record of steady employment throughout the previous twelve months, according to aggregated AreaSearch statistics. By March 2026, the number of working residents stood at 4,376, with the local unemployment figure sitting 1.0% higher than the Australian Capital Territory's 4.1%, while workforce participation rates remain largely comparable to the Australian Capital Territory's 70.8%. Census data indicates that only 10.1% of the population engaged in remote work, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdown periods must be accounted for when interpreting these figures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction. The community displays a distinct occupational concentration in construction, where its share of employment is 1.4 times the territory-wide average. On the other hand, professional & technical roles are underrepresented at 7.2% compared to the territory average of 11.1%. Because it is overwhelmingly residential, this locality appears to provide sparse local job opportunities, as demonstrated by comparing the census count of local jobs against the resident workforce. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, employment levels rose by 0.2% and the labour force grew by 1.2% during the year to March 2026, which caused the unemployment rate to increase by 1.0 percentage points. In contrast, the Australian Capital Territory experienced employment growth of 0.3%, labour force growth of 1.1%, and an unemployment increase of 0.7 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional insight into potential future demand within Gordon. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Gordon's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,892 at the 2021 Census → 7,785 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.
