Sales Detail
Mawson has an estimated 3,547 residents, up from 3,440 at the 2021 Census — a change of 107 people, or 3.1%. That puts 1,681 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
Demographic estimates from AreaSearch indicate that the suburb of Mawson has reached a population of around 3,547 as of Aug 2026, drawing upon broader ABS updates alongside newly validated addresses recorded since the Census. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 3,440 people, this represents a net expansion of 107 people (3.1%). This upward trajectory stems from an estimated resident population of 3,526 identified after assessing the June 2025 ERP figures from the ABS, supplemented by 53 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. Consequently, the suburb of Mawson registers a density ratio of 1,681 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the nationwide benchmark among locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Over recent periods, demographic gains have been propelled predominantly by overseas migration, accounting for approximately 76.0% of total growth. Longer-term demographic modelling by AreaSearch utilizes the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, incorporating ACT Government SA2 age cohort rates (also using 2022 as a base) for uncovered areas and periods post-2032. Looking forward, the suburb of Mawson is projected to experience growth in the lower quartile of statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch. Specifically, aggregated SA2-level figures anticipate an addition of 69 persons through to 2041, representing an overall rise of 1.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
76 new dwellings have been approved in Mawson over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 5.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 40% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 33, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals across local statistical boundaries, Mawson has sustained an annual average of around 15 residential approvals, culminating in approximately 76 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 33 approvals have been logged. With an influx averaging only 0.3 people per year for every home constructed across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential building activity is keeping pace with or outpacing local demand, broadening purchaser options and creating capacity for stronger-than-projected population growth. New dwellings carry an average expected construction cost of $454,000, which sits somewhat above regional benchmarks and signals high-quality residential construction.
Furthermore, $1.1 million in commercial approvals has been registered during this financial year, underscoring an urban development environment centered primarily on residential property. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Mawson tracks 68.0% below the broader Australian Capital Territory average, indicating significantly constrained new supply that helps underpin buyer interest and asset values across established stock. Of the recent residential construction, 40.0% consisted of detached houses while 60.0% comprised medium-to-high-density formats such as townhouses and apartments. This shift toward medium density creates attainable market entry points suited to first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. With around 175 people per approval, the urban landscape of Mawson maintains a low density character. The latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch indicate that Mawson is set to gain 48 residents by 2041. Given prevailing rates of residential development, upcoming housing additions are well positioned to satisfy local accommodation needs, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

1,941 residents of Mawson are employed, from a labour force of 1,994. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 67.5%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 3,037, about 86% 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
Local workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch highlights a qualified labour pool with solid representation across essential industries, a low unemployment rate of 2.7%, and an estimated 1.8% annual rise in jobs. As of March 2026, 1,941 local residents are employed, with joblessness tracking 1.4% lower than the 4.1% benchmark across the Australian Capital Territory, while the local participation rate of 67.5% sits slightly under the territory's 70.6%. In addition, Census data showed that only 10.1% of workers carried out their duties from home, a figure potentially influenced by Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The primary sectors employing residents include public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. Mawson demonstrates a pronounced concentration in health care & social assistance, capturing an employment share 1.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for a smaller proportion locally at 27.8% of workers compared with 30.4% across the Australian Capital Territory. Given its residential orientation, Census comparisons between local workers and resident totals suggest that internal job opportunities within the suburb remain relatively modest. Drawing on ABS and SALM figures synthesized by AreaSearch, the twelve months to March 2026 saw employment climb by 1.8% alongside a 1.2% expansion in the labour force, causing local unemployment to decline by 0.6 percentage points. Across the wider Australian Capital Territory over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 0.3%, the labour pool grew by 1.1%, and unemployment rose by 0.7 percentage points. Looking ahead, national projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide an indicator of structural labour demand across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, total employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When weighting these sectoral trends against the workforce composition of Mawson, projected local employment growth equates to 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (noting that this constitutes an illustrative weighted projection without adjusting for localized 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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,440 at the 2021 Census → 3,547 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.
