DemographicsPopulation Growth in Throsby

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Throsby has an estimated 3,802 residents, up from 2,405 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,397 people, or 58.1%. Growth has averaged 16.9% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 84.0% of that increase. That puts 2,569 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 calculations derived from ABS demographic releases for the surrounding territory and address validations conducted by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Throsby has an estimated residency of 3,802 individuals as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,397 people (58.1%) since the 2021 Census, when the head count stood at 2,405 people. This shift is determined from the resident total of 3,802, calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP figures alongside 32 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,568 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quarter of all Australian areas analyzed by AreaSearch.

The suburb of Throsby registered a 58.1% rate of growth since the 2021 census, outstripping the state's 8.3% increase and the wider SA4 region to lead local growth. The primary driver of this growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 84.0% of the population expansion during recent periods, though natural increase and migration from overseas also contributed positively. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for SA2 regions, which use 2022 as their baseline. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, or for periods extending past 2032, growth rates by age bracket from the ACT Government's SA2 projections starting in 2022 are substituted. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the suburb of Throsby is projected to experience a significant population surge in the upper quartile nationwide, adding 1,028 residents by 2041 according to collective SA2 data, which equates to a 26.1% growth rate over the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Throsby

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,047 residents of Throsby are employed, from a labour force of 2,100. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 78.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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 2,924, 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

By March 2026, 2,047 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 1.5% below the Australian Capital Territory rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation stood at a high 78.1% compared to the state's 70.8%. Census data indicates that only 11.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

The major employment fields for local workers are public administration & safety, professional & technical roles, and health care & social assistance. There is a particularly strong concentration in professional & technical fields, which employ 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, public administration & safety is underrepresented, employing 28.9% of the workforce in the suburb of Throsby compared to 30.4% across the Australian Capital Territory. This predominantly residential zone seems to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of local workers against the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the year leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 0.4% and the overall labor force grow by 1.0%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory saw employment rise by 0.3% and the labor force grow by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide context for local labor demand in the suburb of Throsby. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment shifts. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across sectors. Extrapolating these industry trends to the local mix suggests employment for residents of the suburb of Throsby could grow by 6.8% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection that does not factor in 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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,405 at the 2021 Census → 3,802 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL80125). 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 Throsby 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 Throsby 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 Throsby 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
