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
Aspley has an estimated 13,791 residents, up from 12,912 at the 2021 Census — a change of 879 people, or 6.8%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 73.2% of that increase. That puts 2,203 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, Aspley has a population of approximately 13,791 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 879 residents (6.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 12,912 individuals. This population adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,789 alongside 67 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Based on these figures, the local population density is 2,203 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical density recorded across the country. The 6.8% post-census growth rate of Aspley is within 1.2 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (8.0%), showcasing competitive growth characteristics.
The main driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 73.2% of the total demographic gains in recent times, though interstate migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch utilises population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, which use 2022 as a base year. In instances where these figures are unavailable, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are applied instead. Because the state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes age cohort growth proportionally based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are grounded in 2022 data. Looking at long-term demographic shifts, the region is projected to experience growth in the lowest quartile of Australian statistics, with an estimated increase of 55 residents leading up to 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 0.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
227 new dwellings have been approved in Aspley over the past five years, an average of 45 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 89% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, 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, Aspley recorded an average of approximately 45 residential approvals annually, culminating in 227 new dwellings. In the current financial year of FY-26, there have been 13 approvals documented so far. An average of 3 people per year relocated to the area for every new dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating a healthy level of demand that supports local property values. The average construction cost for these new homes is $207,000, which sits below the wider regional average and indicates a supply of relatively affordable options for purchasers.
Additionally, commercial development has progressed at a moderate pace, with commercial approvals valued at $25.0 million recorded during the current financial year. In comparison to Greater Brisbane, the volume of new development per capita in Aspley is 19.0% lower, placing the area in the 44th percentile of all localities evaluated nationwide, which limits choice for buyers and sustains interest in the established housing market. This lower rate of construction relative to national figures suggests a mature market that may face physical or regulatory growth constraints. Detached houses account for 89.0% of the new residential additions, with the remaining 11.0% consisting of apartments or townhouses, thereby maintaining the low-density suburban character of the area which appeals to buyers seeking space. This focus on detached homes is even more pronounced in new builds than in the existing stock, which stood at 73.0% detached houses during the Census, showing a persistent demand for traditional houses despite densification pressures. The ratio of approximately 798 people per approval highlights the mature and established status of the community. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Aspley is projected to gain 53 residents by 2041. Assuming the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this growth, offering favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond the baseline demographic forecasts.

7,826 residents of Aspley are employed, from a labour force of 8,126. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 70.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,348, about 90% 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 Aspley is characterized by high levels of education, with a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of just 3.7%, and an estimated job growth of 7.2% over the previous year. Working residents numbered 7,826 as of March 2026, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.6% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%. Labor force participation matches the metropolitan average of 70.4%. According to Census data, a moderate 21.8% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, followed by retail trade, and professional & technical services. In contrast, manufacturing has a smaller footprint locally, employing 4.8% of workers compared to 6.4% across the broader region. Given the comparison between the number of local jobs and the size of the resident workforce, this mostly residential neighborhood appears to have a low volume of local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, both employment and the total labor force grew by 7.2%, keeping the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. This performance outperformed Greater Brisbane, where employment expanded by 3.2%, the labor force grew by 3.4%, and the unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context for future employment demand in Aspley. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these national sector projections against the local employment composition suggests that employment among Aspley residents could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, though this is a basic extrapolation 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 — 67 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,912 at the 2021 Census → 13,791 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 (302021027). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
