Hackett rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. The higher eastern side, near Mount Majura, sits on the lowest layer of the Ainslie Volcanics, comprising grey dacite, agglomerate and tuff.
Hackett is one of the most advantaged suburbs in Australia, with a highly educated population where over half hold university degrees and median personal incomes are about 1.6 times the national average. Unemployment is low, at roughly 2.6 %.
Richards Street is named for Henry Caselli Richards, a notable geologist.
