Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Page

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Page has an estimated 2,997 residents, down from 3,054 at the 2021 Census — a change of 57 people, or 1.9%. The population has thinned by an average 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 97% of areas nationally. That puts 2,271 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside address validations completed post-Census, the suburb of Page has an estimated population of approximately 2,997 as of Aug 2026. This represents a reduction of 57 people (1.9%) relative to the 3,054 people counted in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 2,991 derived from the June 2025 ABS release, supplemented by 22 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, the local population density stands at 2,270 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical nationwide benchmark recorded by AreaSearch.

Inbound international migration served as the core contributor to local population changes, functioning practically as the exclusive source of recent demographic additions. For individual SA2 locations, AreaSearch incorporates the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia demographic projections anchored to 2022. For periods extending beyond 2032 or for areas excluded from that release, age-cohort trajectories sourced from the ACT Government's 2022-based SA2 forecasts are applied. Based on these anticipated shifts, the suburb of Page is slated to record demographic expansion marginally beneath the Australian statistical median, with combined SA2 modelling indicating an addition of 145 persons to 2041, which equates to an overall rise of 4.6% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Page

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

54 new dwellings have been approved in Page over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, well below 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

AreaSearch's review of ABS building consent statistics distributed across statistical boundaries shows that Page recorded an annual average of approximately 10 new residential approvals, adding up to an estimated 54 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 2 approvals have been documented. Because the local resident count contracted over recent times, housing supply has sufficiently kept pace with demand to maintain a balanced marketplace offering ample selection for purchasers, with newly built residences carrying an average construction cost of $380,000. Furthermore, $2.8 million in non-residential commercial approvals were authorized in the current financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential character.

Compared to the wider Australian Capital Territory, Page exhibits substantially subdued building activity, tracking 51.0% below the per-capita territory benchmark. Such constrained additions to stock typically underpin healthy demand and asset values across pre-existing properties. This construction rate similarly trails national norms, reflecting an established urban landscape and pointing to possible planning constraints. Recent approvals comprise 56.0% detached houses alongside 44.0% attached dwellings, displaying a growing proportion of attached options that deliver varied price points ranging from expansive family residences to accessible compact housing. With approximately 460 people per approval, the local property landscape demonstrates clear maturity. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Page is on track to gain 139 residents by 2041. Given the prevailing pace of construction, forthcoming residential additions appear well positioned to satisfy demand, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond existing projections.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Page

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,475 residents of Page are employed, from a labour force of 1,576. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 61.3%. 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 2,318, 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

Workforce analysis by AreaSearch across aggregated statistical areas highlights that Page features an accomplished, educated local labour pool with solid presence across critical community services, alongside an unemployment rate of 6.4%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,475, with local unemployment sitting 2.4% higher than the Australian Capital Territory level of 4.1% and participation trailing considerably (61.3% compared to 70.6% across Australian Capital Territory). Census records indicate that 10.6% of workers carried out their duties from home, though historical pandemic restrictions should be taken into account. Local workers are primarily engaged across public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, as well as professional & technical services.

Nonetheless, public administration & safety accounts for 26.5% of resident employment, falling short of the 30.4% recorded across the broader region. Given the comparison between Census daytime employment tallies and resident worker counts, this largely residential district generates relatively modest job opportunities within its own borders. An examination of combined SALM and ABS datasets across surrounding statistical districts by AreaSearch indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local labour force expanded by 1.1% while total employment contracted by 1.5%, driving a 2.4 percentage point climb in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Australian Capital Territory experienced a 0.3% rise in employment, a 1.1% lift in its labour pool, and an unemployment increase of 0.7 percentage points. Long-range national projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements within Page. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied against the local industry distribution to gauge potential trajectories. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry segments vary considerably. Aligning these sectoral outlooks with Page's industry structure suggests local employment could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (note that this reflects a weighted mathematical projection for demonstration purposes and excludes localized population models).

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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,054 at the 2021 Census → 2,997 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 (SAL80106). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Page suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Page page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Page data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
