Overview

Hume is a light‑industrial suburb of Canberra named after explorer Hamilton Hume, with streets honoring Australian industrialists and businessmen. Its built environment is almost entirely industrial, and there is little residential development; the 2021 Census recorded a population of 395, a sharp rise from six in 2006, driven largely by the Alexander Maconochie Centre. The presence of the prison creates a highly skewed gender balance, with 92.7 % of permanent residents recorded as male.
