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
Albion has an estimated 5,026 residents, up from 4,305 at the 2021 Census — a change of 721 people, or 16.7%. Growth has averaged 3.7% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 112 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 72.6% of that increase. That puts 3,329 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 investigations by AreaSearch, Albion has a population of approximately 5,026 as of May 2026. Since the 2021 Census, which recorded 4,305 residents, the population has expanded by 721 individuals (16.7%). This growth calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 5,026 in June 2025 alongside 112 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such figures represent a density of 3,328 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The local growth rate of 16.7% surpassed the national average of 9.3% as well as the state figure, positioning the suburb as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 72.6% of the population gains over recent times, although interstate migration and natural growth also made positive contributions. For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch uses projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions excluded from that dataset, or for projections extending past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 with a 2021 baseline are implemented. Because these state-level projections lack age group breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 data. Future projections indicate substantial population growth that ranks in the highest quartile of areas assessed by AreaSearch, with the local population expected to grow by 1,656 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 33.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
161 new dwellings have been approved in Albion over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 32 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 6% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 94, running ahead of 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
Albion averages approximately 32 residential development approvals annually, resulting in a total of 161 new homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 87 approvals have been logged. With an average of 5.2 new residents added per constructed home over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the local housing supply is lagging demand considerably, which typically increases buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices. Newly built properties average $424,000 in value, exceeding regional averages and pointing to premium, quality-oriented developments. Additionally, commercial development approvals total $6.4 million this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the suburb.
Per capita development activity in Albion is closely aligned with Greater Brisbane, maintaining market equilibrium with neighboring districts, though construction rates have slowed in recent years. Recent building completions consist of 6.0% detached houses and 94.0% multi-dwelling options like apartments or townhouses. This shift toward high-density housing provides affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. It represents a clear change from the existing housing stock, of which 24.0% is currently detached houses, signaling a decline in available development sites alongside shifting buyer lifestyles and demand for diverse, affordable options. With a ratio of roughly 1311 people per approved dwelling, Albion demonstrates a highly established market. Long-term forecasts suggest Albion will gain 1,656 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. If current building rates do not accelerate, residential supply is likely to lag behind this population growth, potentially heightening competition among buyers and supporting price appreciation.

Lutwyche Market Central - Internal Reconfiguration and Tenancy Expansion
This project involves the approved internal reconfiguration and extension of the existing Lutwyche Market Central shopping centre. The works focus on creating larger, more efficient retail tenancies and improving customer circulation to accommodate new anchor and mini-major tenants. The centre remains anchored by Coles, Woolworths, and ALDI, with the expansion supporting enhanced community amenity and retail diversity within the established triple-supermarket hub.
3,452 residents of Albion are employed, from a labour force of 3,577. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 77.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 6,047, about 120% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Albion features a highly qualified labor force, with substantial employment in professional services, an unemployment rate of just 3.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.3% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,452, with an unemployment rate 0.8% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%. Labor force participation stands well above typical benchmarks at 77.9%, compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. According to Census records, a moderate 23.1% of working residents operated from home, though the influence of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions should be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade. The suburb displays a strong specialization in professional & technical services, with an employment share 1.5 times that of the wider region. Conversely, manufacturing jobs account for only 3.9% of the local workforce, compared to 6.4% across Greater Brisbane. With a ratio of 1.1 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, the suburb acts as an employment hub, hosting more jobs than it has working residents and drawing commuters from surrounding areas. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 2.3% and the total labor force expand by 2.3%, keeping the unemployment rate steady. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded job growth of 3.2% and labor force expansion of 3.4%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future local demand in Albion. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary significantly by industry. Applying these industry-specific trends to the local employment distribution suggests Albion's employment base could expand by 7.0% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes local population projections.

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 — 112 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,305 at the 2021 Census → 5,026 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.
