This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Queanbeyan has an estimated 11,251 residents, down from 11,342 at the 2021 Census. That puts 2,364 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Queanbeyan stands at approximately 11,251 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 91 people (0.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the total was recorded at 11,342 people. This shift is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,251 as of June 2025 alongside 55 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With this demographic volume, the locality maintains a density of 2,363 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile among nationwide areas examined by AreaSearch.
Inbound international migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 74.9% of total demographic additions over recent periods. AreaSearch implements SA2 projections generated by the ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as their starting baseline. Wherever SA2 districts lack this coverage, AreaSearch incorporates NSW State Government SA2 modeling released in 2022 with 2021 acting as the base year. Age-specific cohort growth rates drawn from these datasets are likewise extended across all districts between the years 2032 and 2041. Projections indicate strong expansion placing the locality among the upper quartile of regional markets nationwide, with expectations to expand by 2,916 persons through to 2041 under current annual ERP statistics, amounting to an overall 25.9% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
141 new dwellings have been approved in Queanbeyan over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential construction authorizations in Queanbeyan have averaged approximately 28 new dwellings annually, delivering 141 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Alongside local population contraction, dwelling additions have adequately satisfied market requirements to maintain balanced conditions and broad purchasing options, with approved residential builds registering an average construction value of $454,000. Additionally, commercial development momentum remains robust, evidenced by $30.7 million in approved commercial works during this financial year. Relative to Rest of NSW, building activity across Queanbeyan remains significantly subdued (69.0% below regional average per person). While suppressed pipeline volume tends to bolster buyer competition and values across existing dwellings, local building approvals have demonstrated recent gains.
Construction rates also trail the broader national benchmark, underlining the established nature of the suburb alongside possible planning constraints. Of all authorized builds, standalone houses account for 29.0% whereas attached dwellings comprise 71.0%. This emphasis on higher-density housing creates accessible price points that appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors alike. The metric of around 328 people per dwelling approval reflects a mature residential landscape. Over the period leading up to 2041, Queanbeyan is projected to expand by 2,916 residents based on latest AreaSearch quarterly estimates. If building activity continues at current levels, housing delivery could fail to keep pace with population intake, creating tighter market conditions and upward pressure on prices.

Queanbeyan CBD Towers
Two 10-storey residential towers with 178 apartments, basement parking, and ground floor commercial space. Demolition of seven existing buildings. Mixed-use development including residential, retail, and entertainment precinct.
6,755 residents of Queanbeyan are employed, from a labour force of 6,898. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 72.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 local labour market features a highly educated talent base with substantial participation across essential services, supporting an exceptionally low unemployment rate of 2.1%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,755, with the jobless rate tracking 2.0% below Regional NSW's figure of 4.1%, while local labour force participation stands significantly elevated at 72.6% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%. Census findings showed a modest 8.0% of workers operating from home, though broader Covid-19 lockdown measures must be factored in. The foremost industries employing local residents consist of public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, alongside construction.
The representation of public administration & safety is especially pronounced, tracking at 3.2 times the regional average. By comparison, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of resident employment relative to the 5.3% regional benchmark. Although employment is available locally, the balance between Census working population and resident counts suggests a significant share of workers commute outside the area for employment. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce pool shrank by 2.3% and total employment fell by 1.7%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point contraction in the local unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Regional NSW recorded an employment decline of 0.9% and a 0.4% contraction in its labour force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in joblessness. Further insight into prospective employment conditions across Queanbeyan is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 nationwide forecasts. These five- and ten-year sector forecasts have been aligned with local industry representation to gauge anticipated trajectory. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across different industries. Mapping these projections across the local industrial composition indicates Queanbeyan employment could expand by 6.2% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this utilizes a weighted sector distribution model for illustrative context and excludes localized demographic forecasting).

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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,342 at the 2021 Census → 11,251 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 Aug 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 (101021009). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
