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
Latham (ACT) has an estimated 3,765 residents. That puts 1,379 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 investigations of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region, combined with new physical addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count of Latham is projected to be approximately 3,765 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 2 people (0.1%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 3,767 individuals. The adjustment is determined from a resident estimate of 3,763 calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP numbers released in June 2025 alongside an extra 15 validated new addresses registered since the Census. This population level yields a density of 1,379 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure for locations nationwide analyzed by AreaSearch.
Recent population expansion in the locality was mostly driven by natural increase, which made up roughly 59.0% of the total demographic gains. AreaSearch utilizes the demographic projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, which use 2022 as their baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, or for periods past 2032, growth rates by age group from the ACT Government's SA2 projections starting from a 2022 baseline are applied. Based on these projected demographic developments, the total resident count is expected to shrink over the coming years, reducing by 468 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected within particular age brackets, led by the cohort aged 85 and over, which is expected to gain 65 individuals. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
30 new dwellings have been approved in Latham (ACT) over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval statistics distributed from broader statistical areas, Latham has averaged approximately 6 approved residential dwellings per year, representing an estimated 30 homes in total over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, a total of 5 approvals have been documented. An average of 2.5 residents per year relocated to the district for every newly built dwelling over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, showing solid demand levels that should underpin local property values. Latham displays a much lower level of building activity relative to the Australian Capital Territory, running at 72.0% below the regional per capita average.
This restricted volume of new completions generally underpins stronger demand and pricing for existing housing stock. The rate is also below the nationwide average, illustrating the mature status of the suburb and suggesting possible planning barriers. Newly approved projects consist of 50.0% standalone houses and 50.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more budget-friendly entry points for downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the suburb's current housing composition, which is 88.0% houses, showing a declining pool of developable land alongside evolving resident preferences for more varied and affordable housing. The suburb has roughly 683 people per approved dwelling, highlighting its established nature. Faced with static or decreasing population projections, Latham might see reduced pressure on housing availability, creating advantageous conditions for home buyers.

1,909 residents of Latham (ACT) are employed, from a labour force of 2,034. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 68.8%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 2,892, about 77% 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
Latham features a highly educated labor force with a notable concentration in key public service industries, an unemployment rate of 6.1%, and steady job numbers over the prior year, based on AreaSearch compilations of regional data. In March 2026, 1,909 residents were employed, while the local unemployment rate sat 2.1% higher than the Australian Capital Territory average of 4.1%, and the participation rate was slightly lower than the territory benchmark, registering 68.8% compared to 70.8%. Census records indicate that a small proportion of residents (12.8%) performed their jobs from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, construction, and education & training. The suburb exhibits a clear concentration in construction, where the employment proportion is 1.7 times the wider regional rate. By comparison, public administration & safety accounts for only 28.0% of the local workforce, which is below the territory-wide average of 30.4%. The heavily residential character of the suburb appears to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of working residents against those employed locally. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional levels, employment numbers remained unchanged at exactly zero growth over the 12 months ending March 2026, while the local labor force expanded by 1.1%, leading to a 1.0 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory recorded a job rise of 0.3% and labor force growth of 1.1%, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future job demand in Latham. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future trends. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce structure indicates that employment in Latham should rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, noting that this calculation is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,767 at the 2021 Census → 3,765 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL80084). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
