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
O'Connor (ACT) has an estimated 5,943 residents, up from 5,917 at the 2021 Census. That puts 1,443 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 assessments by AreaSearch combining regional ABS statistical releases with post-Census address validations place the population of the suburb of O'Connor (ACT) at approximately 5,943 as of Aug 2026. This indicates a modest addition of 26 people (0.4%) compared to the 5,917 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds on an estimated resident population of 5,921 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release alongside 32 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, the suburb of O'Connor (ACT) exhibits a density of 1,442 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across nationwide locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Inbound international migration served as the core demographic catalyst, accounting for roughly 86.0% of recent population additions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia release using 2022 as a base year across individual SA2 areas, supplemented post-2032 or for unlisted areas by ACT Government SA2 age-bracket projections based on 2022. Future demographic modeling places anticipated expansion in the suburb of O'Connor (ACT) slightly below the median across statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, with aggregate SA2 forecasts anticipating an influx of 261 persons through to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 4.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
122 new dwellings have been approved in O'Connor (ACT) over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That is 4.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 68% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 21, 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 localized ABS building approvals, residential construction authorizations in O'Connor have averaged roughly 24 dwellings annually. Over the latest 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), approvals totaled approximately 122 dwellings, with 21 permits issued to date in FY-25. Following a recent downward demographic shift, ongoing additions have adequately satisfied dwelling requirements to provide purchasers with ample selection. Developers are prioritizing the high-end residential segment, with fresh projects reflecting an average expected construction cost of $697,000. Additionally, $2.0 million in non-residential commercial approvals was lodged in the current financial year, underlining a predominantly residential focus across local planning.
Relative to broader Australian Capital Territory benchmarks, residential development volume in O'Connor remains subdued, tracking 70.0% below the per-capita territory baseline. This restrained pipeline of new building activity typically reinforces values and sustains interest in existing dwellings. Detached houses accounted for 68.0% of recent residential building permits, while medium and high-density formats made up 32.0%, establishing a diversified supply of townhouses and multi-unit complexes spanning multiple price brackets from entry-level dwellings to family properties. A density of roughly 337 people per dwelling approval characterizes an established, mature urban environment. Long-term population estimates suggest O'Connor will add 239 residents through to 2041, calculated from the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Maintenance of current construction volumes will ensure housing delivery comfortably accommodates projected demographic expansion, offering favourable buying opportunities and enabling potential growth beyond current population projections.

3,532 residents of O'Connor (ACT) are employed, from a labour force of 3,697. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 71.1%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 4,409, 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
Workforce analysis by AreaSearch shows an educated local labour pool characterized by strong representation in professional services, steady conditions over the previous twelve months, and an unemployment rate of 4.5%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,532, whilst the unemployment rate sat 0.4% higher than the Australian Capital Territory figure of 4.1%. Labour force participation closely tracked the territory-wide mark of 70.6%. Census figures indicated that 15.9% of local workers operated from home, though this metric was subject to prevailing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents comprise public administration & safety, professional & technical, and education & training.
Specialization in professional & technical fields is especially pronounced, capturing an employment share 1.4 times that of the surrounding territory. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 8.5% of workers living in O'Connor, trailing the 11.7% registered across Australian Capital Territory. Comparison between local workplace counts and resident worker figures reflects the suburb's residential nature, with relatively few employment positions situated directly within its boundaries. During the twelve months leading to March 2026, AreaSearch metrics derived from SALM and ABS statistical data reveal a 1.2% increase in the local workforce alongside a 0.5% contraction in employment, resulting in a 1.6 percentage points rise in unemployment. Across Australian Capital Territory, employment rose 0.3%, the labour pool grew 1.1%, and unemployment expanded by 0.7 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements across five-year and ten-year intervals. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry trajectories vary widely. When applied to O'Connor's existing industry distribution, projected local employment expansion reaches 6.6% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model without local population adjustments).

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 — 32 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,917 at the 2021 Census → 5,943 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL80102). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
