Sales Detail
Red Hill (ACT) has an estimated 3,551 residents, up from 3,146 at the 2021 Census — a change of 405 people, or 12.9%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. 144 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 63.0% of that increase. That puts 754 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 regional ABS population updates alongside post-Census validated new addresses, the suburb of Red Hill (ACT) has an estimated resident count of roughly 3,551 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 405 people (12.9%) compared to the 3,146 people recorded in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch deduced this 3,551 resident figure by reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release together with 144 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. At this level, population density stands at 753 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the broader SA4 region and the state (8.5%), the 12.9% post-2021 Census expansion establishes the suburb of Red Hill (ACT) as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this demographic growth has been interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 63.0% of total recent population gains. SA2-level projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) have been applied by AreaSearch, supplemented by ACT Government SA2 age cohort growth projections (also 2022-based) for timeframes beyond 2032 or areas without coverage. Looking ahead, future population growth for the suburb of Red Hill (ACT) is projected to track slightly under the national median, with aggregated SA2 modeling indicating an increase of 274 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 7.7% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
390 new dwellings have been approved in Red Hill (ACT) over the past five years, an average of 78 a year. That is 21.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 67 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 30% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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 evaluation of ABS building approval figures by statistical area indicates that Red Hill has recorded an annual average of approximately 78 new residential approvals, totaling roughly 390 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 12 approved during FY-25 to date. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the ratio of 1.2 new residents per year per dwelling built indicated balanced demand and supply with stable market dynamics; however, this has surged to 12.8 people per dwelling across the past 2 financial years, pointing toward rising demand and a tightening supply pipeline.
An average construction value of $998,000 across residential projects highlights a developer focus on high-end, premium market offerings. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $22.0 million this financial year, demonstrating balanced commercial construction activity. Per capita residential construction in Red Hill exceeds the wider Australian Capital Territory by 352.0%, broadening options for purchasers even as building intensity has eased over recent periods. Substantially higher than national benchmarks, this volume underscores strong developer appetite. The new dwelling pipeline comprises 30.0% standalone houses alongside 70.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density housing creates accessible entry points that cater to entry-level buyers, downsizers, and investors. It also marks a marked departure from the existing housing stock (which stands at 79.0% houses), driven by limited site availability, evolving lifestyle preferences, and housing affordability demands. A calculated density of 413 people per dwelling approval characterizes the locality as a calm, low-intensity development pocket. Demographic projections suggest Red Hill will add 274 residents through to 2041 (benchmarked against the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). Under prevailing construction volumes, oncoming residential supply appears well positioned to satisfy demand, fostering favorable buyer conditions and potentially accommodating demographic growth above current projections.

1,947 residents of Red Hill (ACT) are employed, from a labour force of 1,986. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 65.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Red Hill maintains an exceptionally educated labor force featuring prominent representation in professional services, relative annual employment stability, and a low unemployment rate of 2.0%, as aggregated from statistical area data by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,947, the local jobless rate sat 2.1% lower than the 4.1% recorded for Australian Capital Territory, and the labor force participation rate stood at 65.6%, slightly trailing the 70.6% seen across Australian Capital Territory. Census figures indicate a moderate 16.4% of working residents operated from home, though this metric was subject to Covid-19 lockdown influences.
The primary employment sectors for local workers include health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and public administration & safety. Professional & technical industries demonstrate exceptional concentration locally, with employment share reaching 1.5 times the regional proportion. In contrast, public administration & safety accounts for 26.6% of workers, trailing the regional benchmark of 30.4%. While jobs exist within the area, Census comparisons of resident workers to local jobs indicate a substantial outbound commuter flow. AreaSearch's review of ABS and SALM statistical area data shows that across the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.5% against a 1.0% expansion in the labor force, lifting the jobless rate by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise 0.3%, the labor force increase 1.1%, and joblessness climb 0.7 percentage points. Additional prospective demand context comes from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections over five- and ten-year horizons, mapped across the local industry profile. Nationally, total employment is projected to expand 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with wide variation across industries. When weighted against Red Hill's sectoral distribution, these figures indicate potential local employment gains of 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting calculation that does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 144 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,146 at the 2021 Census → 3,551 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 (SAL80112). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
