Housing, rent and growth
Housing & rent
ABS Census 2021| Measure | Value | vs other ACT suburbs |
|---|---|---|
| Median household income | $874/week | higher than 1% |
| Average household size | 1.5 people | higher than 1% |
2021 Census figures: rents and incomes have risen since, so compare suburbs rather than reading today's prices. The rent share uses the median rent and the median income of all households (owners included), so it is a guide, not the share any one renter pays. The 30% benchmark is a common convention.
Growth & new homes
ABS Regional Population · Building Approvals| Measure | Value | vs other ACT areas |

| New homes approved, 12 months 12 months to Aug 2026 | 0 | higher than 20% |
Figures are for the ABS area “Mitchell”. Approvals are dwellings approved, not yet built. Growth and new supply are change indicators, not a price forecast.

Data notes
- Population is estimated (medium confidence) from the ABS 2021 Census.
- Recorded crime counts offences reported to or detected by police where they occurred. That includes offences against visitors and businesses, so busy centres score higher than their resident risk.
- States classify offences differently, so ranks compare areas within the same state.
