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
Annandale (Qld) has an estimated 10,353 residents, up from 10,116 at the 2021 Census — a change of 237 people, or 2.3%. That puts 550 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Annandale stands at approximately 10,353 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 237 people (2.3%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 10,116 residents. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 10,353 from June 2025 alongside address validations recorded after the Census date. With this population level, the density ratio reaches 549 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density with substantial space per resident and potential room for future expansions. Overseas migration served as the primary contributor to population increases, acting as the sole source of gains in recent times.
Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For any SA2 regions without this coverage, and for the years after 2032, Queensland State Government projections from 2023 utilizing 2021 data are used. Because the state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings proportionally using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023, based on 2022 data, for each age group. Looking forward, the population is projected to expand at a rate slightly under the national regional median, with a projected addition of 574 individuals by 2041 using the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a 5.5% overall rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Building activity remains very low in Annandale, averaging 1 new dwellings approved each year, which sums to 6 over the preceding five years. Low levels of development are typical for rural settings where housing requirements are moderate and construction rates are constrained by local demand and the capacity of infrastructure. Given these minimal approval volumes, annual rates of growth and comparisons can show significant fluctuations depending on individual projects. Annandale exhibits a much lower volume of home building than the Rest of Qld, with development rates also falling below national benchmarks.
Furthermore, all recent construction works consist of detached houses, matching the rural aesthetic of the locality where larger blocks and open space are standard. Projections indicate that Annandale will add 574 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should building rates persist at current levels, the volume of housing might lag behind population expansion, which could heighten competition among prospective buyers and bolster price appreciation.

5,727 residents of Annandale (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 5,839. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 65.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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
A high level of education characterizes the workforce of Annandale, which features a strong presence of essential services sectors and a low unemployment rate of 1.9%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,727, while the unemployment rate was 2.0% lower than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, and participation in the labor force aligned closely with the 64.3% seen in Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a minor 4.7% of employed residents worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training stand as the primary employment sectors for local residents.
The region displays a major concentration in public administration & safety, where the employment share reaches 4.4 times the regional average. Conversely, construction plays a minor role, representing 5.6% of local employment compared to 10.1% across the region. Though local employment exists, a comparison between the Census working population and local resident count suggests many workers travel outside the area to reach their jobs. According to the AreaSearch review of SALM and ABS statistics, the latest 12-month period saw a contraction of 1.9% in the labor force alongside a 2.4% drop in employment, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends in Annandale. These five-year and ten-year projections have been integrated with the local industry profile to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with significant variation across different industries. Applying these sector-specific trends to the local employment mix suggests Annandale's employment could rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, representing 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,116 at the 2021 Census → 10,353 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 (318021468). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
