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
Annerley has an estimated 13,152 residents, up from 11,935 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,217 people, or 10.2%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 80.8% of that increase. That puts 4,567 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 Annerley is approximately 13,152 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,217 people (10.2%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 11,935 residents. This demographic change is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 13,137 as of June 2025 and 33 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. With these figures, the population density stands at 4,566 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% of all areas analyzed nationwide and indicating high demand for local land.
The population growth rate of 10.2% since the 2021 census outpaces both the national average (9.3%) and the broader SA3 region, positioning the locality as a regional leader in expansion. The primary catalyst for this growth has been overseas migration, which accounts for roughly 80.8% of the population increase in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this dataset and for projections past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are adopted. Because these state-level forecasts do not include age group breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 data. Expected demographic transitions suggest the suburb will experience population expansion above the national median, with an anticipated increase of 2,233 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, representing a overall rise of 16.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
125 new dwellings have been approved in Annerley over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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
Over the last 5 financial years, Annerley recorded an average of approximately 25 residential building approvals annually, translating to 125 homes in total. In the current FY-26 period, 11 approvals have been registered. Given that the area added an average of 6.7 new residents for every completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, demand continues to outstrip incoming supply, a trend that typically drives upward price pressure and heightens buyer rivalry, with new residential projects carrying an average building cost of $318,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $7.8 million during this financial year, highlighting that the suburb remains predominantly residential in character.
Building activity in Annerley is significantly subdued compared to Greater Brisbane, running 71.0% below the regional per capita average. This undersupply of new housing options generally bolsters demand and supports valuations for established properties. The rate of construction is also below the national benchmark, reflecting the established state of the suburb and suggesting potential planning restrictions. The mix of new construction consists of 38.0% detached dwellings and 62.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on higher-density projects offers more affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. The suburb averages about 1162 people per dwelling approval, indicating a mature residential market. Future estimates indicate that Annerley will gain 2,218 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. If current building volumes do not accelerate, residential supply may fall behind population growth, which is likely to intensify competition among buyers and support property price increases.

8,851 residents of Annerley are employed, from a labour force of 9,251. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 80.4%. 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 10,016, 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 is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of 4.3%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.4% over the preceding year. There are 8,851 employed residents as of March 2026, with the unemployment rate matching the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, while the labor participation rate is exceptionally high at 80.4% compared to the regional benchmark of 70.4%. Census data indicates a moderate 23.5% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Resident employment is heavily concentrated in the sectors of health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services. The concentration of workers in education & training is particularly high, reaching 1.4 times the Greater Brisbane average. In contrast, construction workers are underrepresented, making up 5.4% of the local workforce compared to the regional average of 9.0%. Comparing the Census working population to the resident population suggests that this predominantly residential community offers limited local employment opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data shows that over the 12-month period, the number of employed residents rose by 5.4% and the labor force grew by 4.9%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of growth vary by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure suggests that employment for residents could grow by 7.2% over five years and 14.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 33 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,935 at the 2021 Census → 13,152 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.
