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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Alexandra Hills

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Alexandra Hills has an estimated 17,436 residents, up from 16,574 at the 2021 Census — a change of 862 people, or 5.2%. Overseas migration accounts for 58.6% of that increase. That puts 1,279 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 of Alexandra Hills stands at roughly 17,436 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 862 people (5.2%) compared to the 16,574 people counted in the 2021 Census. Such growth is deduced from the ABS estimated resident population of 17,361 recorded in June 2025 alongside 69 validated new addresses added following the Census. With this population base, the locality exhibits a density of 1,279 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the local 5.2% expansion rate since census trails the broader SA3 area (5.6%) by only 0.4 percentage points, highlighting sound growth momentum.

The primary engine of demographic expansion has been overseas migration, accounting for approximately 58.6% of recent population additions. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions excluded from that series, or for projections extending beyond 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are adopted. Because these state forecasts lack breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings sourced from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 figures) across age groups. Looking ahead, these models project a net reduction in the overall community size, with total headcount anticipated to drop by 1,677 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, specific demographics will experience growth, most prominently the 75 to 84 age cohort, which is forecast to increase by 483 people. See the age section for more details.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Alexandra Hills

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

229 new dwellings have been approved in Alexandra Hills over the past five years, an average of 45 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 63% 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

Annual residential building approvals in Alexandra Hills have averaged approximately 45 properties, accumulating to 229 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Over the last 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), an average of 1.6 new residents arrived for each newly approved dwelling, suggesting an equilibrium between local demand and supply that fosters market stability, with new stock reflecting an average construction cost of $394,000 in line with wider regional building levels. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $7.1 million during this financial year, underscoring the suburb's predominantly residential profile.

Per capita dwelling approval figures in Alexandra Hills represent roughly three-quarters of the Greater Brisbane rate, placing the suburb in the 48th percentile nationally; this relative shortfall in new supply restricts purchaser options and bolsters demand for existing stock, even as construction activity has picked up recently. This pace falls below the national benchmark, reflecting a mature urban footprint with possible planning constraints. Of recently approved residential builds, 63.0% were detached houses while 37.0% comprised medium and high-density developments, demonstrating an emerging assortment of medium-density formats that diversify price points from traditional family residences to compact options. This trend diverges markedly from the current dwelling composition of 93.0% houses, pointing to constrained greenfield space while accommodating changing lifestyle patterns and affordability pressures. The area records approximately 309 people per dwelling approval, representative of a low density market. Given that the local population is projected to stabilize or contract, reduced pressure on the housing supply in Alexandra Hills may open up favourable purchasing opportunities.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Alexandra Hills

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

The working-day population is estimated at 13,527, about 78% 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

On the other hand, the professional & technical category accounts for only 5.5% of workers locally, trailing the 8.9% observed across Greater Brisbane. As reflected in the disparity between the working population and resident headcount in Census figures, this largely residential suburb provides relatively few local job opportunities. AreaSearch assessment of data from SALM and the ABS indicates that in the twelve months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 3.5% while the total workforce grew by 4.1%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% growth in its labor force, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. Long-range guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections provides perspective on expected labor demand in Alexandra Hills. These national outlooks, structured over five-year and ten-year horizons, are mapped to the suburb's industry profile: while total Australian employment is anticipated to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trajectories vary widely by sector. Applying these industry growth rates to the employment distribution of Alexandra Hills suggests potential local workforce gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 69 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,574 at the 2021 Census → 17,436 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 (301011001). 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 Alexandra Hills 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 Alexandra Hills 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 Alexandra Hills 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
