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 Ashgrove

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Ashgrove has an estimated 14,933 residents, up from 13,716 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,217 people, or 8.9%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 80.2% of that increase. That puts 2,290 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 for Ashgrove stands at approximately 14,933 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census figure of 13,716 people, this represents an expansion of 1,217 people (8.9%). This demographic adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 14,911 as of June 2025 alongside 46 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The local population density reaches 2,290 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical benchmarks observed across nationwide territories evaluated by AreaSearch. Ashgrove's 8.9% post-census expansion trails the nationwide mark (9.5%) by only 0.6 percentage points, indicating robust local growth metrics.

The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion has been international migration, which accounted for roughly 80.2% of recent net population additions. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, are utilised by AreaSearch for SA2 locations. For territories outside this coverage and for timeframes beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections published in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are integrated. Because these state figures omit age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) across each age group. Looking to future demographic trajectories, Ashgrove is projected to record growth slightly below the nationwide median for statistical areas, expanding by 689 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to a 4.5% cumulative rise across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Ashgrove

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

130 new dwellings have been approved in Ashgrove over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That places the area in the 53rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% 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 building consents in Ashgrove have averaged roughly 26 properties per year, generating 130 homes across the past 5 financial years. Over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), an average of 5.7 people arrived locally for every residence constructed, creating an environment where demand heavily outpaces supply, a dynamic that commonly elevates buyer competition and lifts local prices. Concurrently, newly approved dwellings show an average value of $932,000, underscoring a developer emphasis on the high-end, luxury segment. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $53.5 million this financial year, reflecting substantial commercial development activity.

Building volumes in Ashgrove are markedly restrained relative to Greater Brisbane, sitting 59.0% below the broader regional per-capita rate. Constrained new stock of this nature generally provides support to existing property valuations and buyer interest. Activity is similarly subdued against nationwide rates, pointing to an established urban footprint and potential development constraints. Recent residential building permits comprise 92.0% detached houses alongside 8.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the historic suburban fabric and catering to family buyers seeking room. Interestingly, builders are supplying standalone residences at a higher rate than the baseline profile (77.0% at Census), underscoring enduring demand for traditional family housing amid broader density trends. With roughly 472 people per approval, Ashgrove reflects a well-established property market. Moving forward, the population of Ashgrove is projected to expand by 667 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction trajectories appear aligned with prospective demand, fostering balanced market conditions without triggering excessive price pressures.

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 — 46 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,716 at the 2021 Census → 14,933 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 (305041132). 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 Ashgrove 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 Ashgrove 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 Ashgrove 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 (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 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 Aug 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.
