Suburb profile
Flynn is a residential smaller community in Alice Springs Council with a familiar suburban feel. Far from Darwin, it rewards people who want real remove from the city rather than a long-commute suburb. The community skews younger, with plenty of young families in the mix.
Food and coffee punch above the usual for comparable suburbs, giving the suburb a lived-in social scene. Local green pockets are modest, with bigger outdoor outings usually found in neighbouring areas. A car helps for most daily errands, though buses still link the suburb further afield.
Housing sits in the middle of the local market: neither cheap nor premium.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.
Methodology
Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.
The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~150), extrapolated at +0.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
