Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Detail

According to calculations performed by AreaSearch, the population of Albany Creek stands at approximately 17,637 in May 2026. This represents a rise of 1,227 individuals (7.5%) from the 16,410 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This growth is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 17,369 alongside 295 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 1,803 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure recorded across national assessment areas. The 7.5% growth rate of Albany Creek since the Census places it 1.8 percentage points below the national average of 9.3%, indicating solid growth characteristics.

The primary contributor to local population expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 58.7% of all population increases recently, though natural increase and interstate migration also registered positive gains. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data and for timeframes beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are substituted. Since these state-level figures do not break down population by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Future growth is projected to align with the lower quartile of Australian statistical territories, with the population set to rise by 673 residents by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 2.3% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Albany Creek

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

434 new dwellings have been approved in Albany Creek over the past five years, an average of 86 a year. That places the area in the 72nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 75 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 9% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 36, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Albany Creek averages approximately 86 residential building approvals annually, with 434 dwellings approved during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 33 approvals registered during FY-26 to date. An average intake of 1.6 people per year for every completed dwelling over the FY-21 to FY-25 period points to a well-balanced supply and demand dynamic that assists market stability, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $328,000. Additionally, commercial development remains quiet, with only $6.3 million in commercial construction approvals logged during the current financial year. Construction levels in Albany Creek are somewhat high compared to Greater Brisbane, running 21.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year timeframe, which helps preserve choice for buyers while protecting current real estate values.

Standalone houses comprise 9.0% of new approvals, while the remaining 91.0% consists of medium and high-density residential designs. This shift toward denser housing provides affordable entry pathways and suits downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a significant departure from the current housing mix of 85.0% houses, showing that developable land is becoming scarce while reflecting changing lifestyle preferences and the demand for more varied, economical housing. With roughly 228 people per approved dwelling, the local market continues to evolve. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections, Albany Creek is forecast to add 405 residents by 2041. Under current construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially allowing population growth to outpace current forecasts.

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 — 295 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,410 at the 2021 Census → 17,637 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 May 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 (314011382). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Albany Creek SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Albany Creek page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Albany Creek data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Dec 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
