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
Moncrieff has an estimated 6,031 residents, up from 5,310 at the 2021 Census — a change of 721 people, or 13.6%. Growth has averaged 4.4% a year over five years, faster than 81% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 49.0% of that increase. That puts 3,141 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
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Moncrieff stands at approximately 6,031, derived from AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS updates alongside post-Census validated address additions. This total indicates an expansion of 721 people (13.6%) above the 5,310 people recorded in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch established this resident count of 6,031 following the ABS release of June 2025 ERP figures and the verification of 36 validated new addresses post-Census. With a density of 3,141 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Moncrieff ranks within the top quartile among nationally evaluated areas by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the Australian Capital Territory baseline (8.5%) and the wider SA4 region, the local 13.6% increase since the 2021 census positions the locality as an area growth leader. Natural growth served as the primary catalyst by generating roughly 49.0% of recent population gains, complemented by positive contributions across overseas migration and interstate migration. SA2 projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as a base year are applied by AreaSearch, with post-2032 periods and non-covered areas utilizing ACT Government SA2 age group projections from the same 2022 base. Given these anticipated demographic shifts, the suburb of Moncrieff is projected to experience substantial demographic expansion within the top quartile of national statistical areas, adding 2,033 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections to register an overall gain of 33.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
107 new dwellings have been approved in Moncrieff over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Moncrieff has maintained an annual average of approximately 21 residential property approvals, accumulating an estimated 107 homes over the prior 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 1 approvals have been documented. With population additions averaging 26.7 new residents per year for each dwelling constructed across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction lags behind demographic demand, creating upward pricing momentum and heightened buyer competition. Approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $597,000, underscoring a developer focus on high-end, premium residential construction.
Furthermore, the recording of $40,000 in commercial development approvals during this financial year reinforces the predominantly residential character of the area. Residential building volumes in Moncrieff sit 82.0% below regional average per person compared to Australian Capital Territory, a constrained level of construction that typically underpins demand and asset pricing across existing dwellings. This below-average activity relative to national benchmarks illustrates local maturity and potential planning constraints. Approvals comprise 22.0% detached houses and 78.0% medium and high-density housing, delivering compact housing options suited for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and investors. This delivery contrasts with the established stock of 55.0% houses, reflecting limited site availability as well as evolving lifestyle and affordability considerations. A metric of roughly 5973 people per approval further confirms the mature status of the locality. According to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, demographic projections show Moncrieff adding 2,033 residents by 2041. Ongoing rates of residential development may be inadequate to absorb this projected population influx, likely intensifying competition across the market and reinforcing upward pressure on dwelling prices.

3,358 residents of Moncrieff are employed, from a labour force of 3,499. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 79.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 4,391, about 73% 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
Moncrieff features a well-educated labor force with strong representation across essential services, an unemployment rate of 4.0%, and stable employment conditions over the preceding year according to AreaSearch aggregated data. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,358, while unemployment matched the wider Australian Capital Territory rate of 4.1%. Workforce participation reached an elevated 79.9%, notably higher than the 70.6% recorded across Australian Capital Territory. Census returns recorded 10.6% of workers operating from home, though figures should be considered alongside Covid-19 lockdown circumstances. Key employment sectors among residents include public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical.
By comparison, public administration & safety accounts for 28.5% of local jobs, below the Australian Capital Territory benchmark of 30.4%. As demonstrated by Census comparisons between the resident labor pool and local job numbers, this predominantly residential community offers limited employment opportunities within its borders. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026 shows local employment expanding by 0.3% against a 1.0% expansion in the labour force, yielding an increase of 0.7 percentage points in the unemployment rate. Across Australian Capital Territory over the same timeframe, employment rose 0.3%, the labour force grew 1.1%, and unemployment climbed 0.7 percentage points. Projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future demand. While national forecasts project employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations mean applying these sector weightings to the Moncrieff workforce profile suggests local employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (a weighted illustrative calculation that excludes localized 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 — 36 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,310 at the 2021 Census → 6,031 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.
