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
Torrens has an estimated 2,472 residents, up from 2,424 at the 2021 Census — a change of 48 people, or 2.0%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years, slower than 80% of areas nationally. That puts 1,902 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 investigations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region, combined with address records verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Torrens has a population calculated at approximately 2,472 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 48 people (2.0%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 2,424 individuals. The figure is derived from a resident count of 2,470, determined by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP statistics from June 2025 alongside 9 validated new addresses added after the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 1,901 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio found across national sites analyzed by AreaSearch.
Growth in the local registry was chiefly supported by international migration, which represented roughly 71.0% of all population additions in the recent timeframe. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 zone, published in 2024 with 2022 as the starting point. In instances where SA2 details are missing, or for periods after 2032, growth rates by age bracket from the ACT Government's SA2 projections, starting in 2022, are implemented. Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, projections suggest a contraction in the overall head count, with a reduction of 166 persons by 2041 using this approach. Even so, expansion in specific age brackets is expected, particularly the 65 to 74 demographic, which is forecast to increase by 20 people. Refer to the age section for further details.

1,315 residents of Torrens are employed, from a labour force of 1,357. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 67.7%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,925, about 78% 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 Torrens has a highly qualified workforce, with a strong contingent in professional services, a low unemployment rate of 3.1%, and stable job numbers over the prior year, according to AreaSearch's compilation of local statistical data. In March 2026, 1,315 residents were employed, while the local jobless rate sat 1.0% below the 4.1% rate of the Australian Capital Territory, and labor participation was slightly subdued at 67.7% relative to the Australian Capital Territory average of 70.8%. Census returns indicated a moderate 13.6% of working residents performed their jobs from home, though the influence of Covid-19 health restrictions should be kept in mind.
The top sectors employing local citizens are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. Conversely, accommodation & food services accounts for only 4.7% of the local workforce, which is lower than the Australian Capital Territory average of 6.5%. The heavily residential character of the locality limits local employment options, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch's review of SALM and ABS statistics gathered from surrounding areas, the 12 months ending March 2026 saw employment grow by 0.2% and the labor pool expand by 1.0%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.8 percentage points. For the same timeframe, the Australian Capital Territory registered employment expansion of 0.3%, labor force growth of 1.1%, and an unemployment rate rise of 0.7 percentage points. National job projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future workforce needs in the suburb of Torrens. These estimates, looking at five and ten-year horizons, have been matched to the local industry mix to project hiring trends. Although nationwide employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change fluctuate widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific trends to the workforce profile of the suburb of Torrens suggests local job holders will increase by 6.8% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation for illustration 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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,424 at the 2021 Census → 2,472 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 (SAL80126). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
