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
Alderley has an estimated 7,270 residents, up from 6,593 at the 2021 Census — a change of 677 people, or 10.3%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 72.9% of that increase. That puts 2,955 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 population of Alderley stands at approximately 7,270 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 677 people (10.3%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 6,593 people. This trend is derived from an ABS estimated resident population of 7,270 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 45 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 2,955 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the top quarter among national areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Outpacing the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, the suburb's 10.3% post-2021 Census expansion distinguishes it as an outperforming growth hub.
The primary catalyst behind these population gains has been overseas migration, representing roughly 72.9% of overall local net increases in recent times. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting baseline. Wherever SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for timeframes extending beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are implemented instead. Because these state figures omit demographic age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution weights derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 based on 2022 data) across individual age cohorts. Projecting ahead, local demographics point toward growth exceeding the national median, with the community forecast to expand by 1,412 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall rise of 19.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
306 new dwellings have been approved in Alderley over the past five years, an average of 61 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 61 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 20% 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 approvals in Alderley have averaged roughly 61 new homes annually, amounting to 306 homes across the prior 5 financial years. With an average addition of 2 new residents per year for each residential unit constructed during the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), underlying demand remains healthy and supportive of local property values. Construction costs for these new builds average $533,000, coming in slightly ahead of the broader region and indicating an emphasis on high-standard projects. Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $768,000 this financial year, underscoring the distinctly residential character of the suburb.
Alderley exhibits per-capita building approval figures comparable to Greater Brisbane, aligning with regional market conditions and reinforcing sector stability. Recent construction approvals comprise 20.0% detached houses and 80.0% medium and high-density housing. This prominent shift toward higher-density dwelling options delivers accessible entry-level alternatives while attracting downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. It also marks a noticeable transition away from the existing dwelling stock (which currently consists of 58.0% houses), driven by limited land availability alongside changing lifestyle and affordability preferences. Registering approximately 183 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical traits of an expanding urban market. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures, long-term projections indicate that Alderley will gain 1,412 residents by 2041. Considering existing construction trends, upcoming residential stock appears well placed to absorb projected demand, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond current baseline forecasts.

4,766 residents of Alderley are employed, from a labour force of 5,000. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 81.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,535, about 76% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 workforce in Alderley is exceptionally well qualified, featuring substantial involvement in professional services, an unemployment rate of 4.7%, and an estimated employment growth rate of 1.1% over the past year. As of March 2026, 4,766 residents are gainfully employed, while local unemployment sits 0.4% above the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%. Labor participation is exceptionally strong at 81.0%, substantially exceeding Greater Brisbane's 70.1%. Census records further reveal that a notable 27.9% of local workers operated from home, though the wider context of Covid-19 restrictions must be taken into account.
Resident employment is primarily concentrated across health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The suburb demonstrates an extraordinary concentration in professional & technical fields, where representation reaches 1.6 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for a modest 3.0% of local jobs versus 6.4% across the wider region. Given the disparity between the local Census working population and resident counts, this predominantly residential neighborhood generates comparatively few job opportunities within its own boundaries. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 1.1% while the labor pool grew by 2.3%, leading to an unemployment rate increase of 1.2 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Brisbane registered employment growth of 3.2%, labor force growth of 3.4%, and an unemployment rise of 0.1 percentage points. Additional perspective on future labor requirements is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from Mar-26. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied against the local industry profile to model potential employment shifts. Nationally, total employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge widely across individual sectors. Applying these industry trajectories across Alderley's workforce distribution indicates prospective local employment growth of 7.2% over five years and 14.6% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses weighted industry modeling for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 45 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,593 at the 2021 Census → 7,270 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.
