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 82% 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new address points validated by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of the suburb of Moncrieff is approximately 6,031 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 721 people (13.6%) from the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 5,310 people. The estimate of 6,031 was derived by AreaSearch through examining the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 36 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. This population level results in a density of 3,141 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Moncrieff in the top quartile of all Australian areas assessed by AreaSearch.
The 13.6% growth rate observed in the suburb of Moncrieff since the 2021 census outpaced the state average of 8.3% as well as the wider SA4 region, making it a regional leader in growth. Natural increase was the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 49.0% of the total population gains in recent times, though interstate and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for SA2 regions. For locations lacking this coverage or periods extending beyond 2032, age group growth trends from the ACT Government SA2 projections (2022 baseline) are applied. Looking ahead, demographic modeling points to substantial growth in the top national quartile for the suburb of Moncrieff, with projections indicating an expansion of 1,983 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 32.9% over 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 places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. 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
According to building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch from statistical data, the suburb of Moncrieff averages approximately 21 residential approvals annually. A total of 107 homes received approval over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with a single approval recorded so far during FY-26. Given that an average of 11 new residents arrived for every finished dwelling over those 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the residential supply is falling short of demand. This gap typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives up prices. Newly built properties average $525,000 in value, which indicates developers are focusing on higher-end builds.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $40,000 were registered this financial year, reinforcing that local building activity remains overwhelmingly residential. Relative to the Australian Capital Territory average, development volume in the suburb of Moncrieff is subdued, tracking 58.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. This limited building pace generally supports demand and reinforces values for established properties. Recent approvals consist of 18.0% detached houses and 82.0% medium to high-density layouts. The emphasis on denser housing configurations offers more accessible entry prices for buyers, downsizers, and investors. This represents a distinct departure from the current housing landscape where detached houses make up 55.0% of dwellings, pointing to a scarcity of greenfield sites and reflecting a shift toward diverse and cost-effective living choices. With a ratio of 314 residents for each new dwelling approval, the suburb of Moncrieff exhibits the traits of an evolving market. Demographic forecasts show the suburb of Moncrieff adding 1,983 residents up to 2041 compared to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If development continues at its current pace, additions to housing stock may not keep up with population expansion, which could heighten buyer competition and support price gains.

3,358 residents of Moncrieff are employed, from a labour force of 3,499. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 81.0%. 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
The suburb of Moncrieff has a highly educated workforce with strong representation in public service sectors, an unemployment rate of 4.0%, and steady employment levels over the prior year. In March 2026, working residents numbered 3,358, matching the broader Australian Capital Territory unemployment rate of 4.1%. Labor force participation is exceptionally high at 81.0% compared to the territory average of 70.8%. Census data indicates that a modest 10.6% of the workforce worked from home, although these figures were likely influenced by COVID-19 restriction measures. The primary employment sectors for residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services.
Public administration & safety accounts for 28.5% of employed residents, slightly lower than the territory average of 30.4%. The heavily residential nature of the suburb of Moncrieff translates to limited local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the number of locally employed workers against the resident labor force. Based on SALM and ABS data analyzed by AreaSearch, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 0.3% while the total labor force grew by 1.0%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.7 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory saw employment expand by 0.3%, the labor force increase by 1.1%, and unemployment rise by 0.7 percentage points. Projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local employment structure to project trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents of the suburb of Moncrieff could grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation.

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 May 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 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.
