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
Bald Hills has an estimated 8,440 residents, up from 7,826 at the 2021 Census — a change of 614 people, or 7.8%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 58.7% of that increase. That puts 632 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 population residing in Bald Hills stands at approximately 8,440 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 614 people (7.8%) compared to the 7,826 people recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment incorporates the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population figure of 8,412 alongside 26 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With a density of 632 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space alongside scope for future development. The suburb's 7.8% post-census growth rate trails the broader SA4 region (9.3%) by only 1.5 percentage points, highlighting solid underlying growth dynamics.
Net overseas migration served as the core growth engine, delivering roughly 58.7% of all recent population additions. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For years after 2032 or areas not covered by these datasets, 2023-released Queensland State Government SA2 projections based on 2021 numbers are incorporated. Because these state figures omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution weights derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) across each demographic cohort. Demographic outlooks point to lower quartile growth relative to national benchmarks, with the local population projected to gain 118 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 1.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
75 new dwellings have been approved in Bald Hills over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Bald Hills have averaged roughly 15 properties per year, delivering 75 approved homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). With approximately 7.3 new residents added per year per completed residence over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing demand outpaces new supply considerably, a dynamic that typically spurs heightened buyer competition and price appreciation. Concurrently, new dwellings reflect an average construction value of $401,000, aligning with broader regional levels. In addition, $6.6 million across commercial approvals has been recorded during this financial year, underscoring a modest focus on commercial construction.
Construction intensity across Bald Hills is markedly subdued when contrasted with Greater Brisbane, sitting 72.0% below the regional average on a per-capita basis. Constrained supply additions of this nature frequently bolster property values and demand for existing housing stock. Building volumes also track well under the national benchmark, reflecting both the established status of the suburb and potential planning constraints. Approvals comprise 93.0% detached houses versus 7.0% medium and high-density housing options, reinforcing the neighborhood's low-density profile centered on standalone dwellings for family living. A ratio of approximately 480 people per approved dwelling highlights the suburb's calm development environment. Moving forward, projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release estimate an addition of 90 residents in Bald Hills through to 2041. Under current construction trajectories, future residential supply appears well positioned to satisfy local demand, creating favorable market conditions for purchasers while potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond baseline expectations.

4,937 residents of Bald Hills are employed, from a labour force of 5,211. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 76.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,619, 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
The labor market in Bald Hills features a capable labor pool with strong representation across vital service industries. The area recorded an unemployment rate of 5.3 percent and experienced an estimated employment growth of 8.9 percent during the previous year. By March 2026, the number of employed residents stood at 4,937. The local unemployment rate was 0.9 percent higher than Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3 percent. Participation in the workforce exceeded the standard level at 76.9 percent, while Greater Brisbane's participation rate was 70.1 percent. Census data indicates that 16.9 percent of residents engaged in remote work, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting this figure.
The principal industry sectors employing local residents include health care & social assistance, construction, alongside retail trade. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a more modest 7.4% share, trailing the 8.9% observed across the wider region. An imbalance between Census working population counts and resident workforce figures points to relatively few job opportunities situated directly within the locality. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 8.9% alongside a 7.2% expansion in the labour force, which together reduced the unemployment rate by 1.5 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Brisbane saw employment lift by 3.2% and the labour force grow by 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Further guidance on future labour requirements is available from Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts dated Mar-26. These five- and ten-year projections have been aligned with local industry profiles to gauge prospective workforce shifts. Nationally, overall employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector trajectories vary widely. When mapped to the industry distribution of Bald Hills, this framework implies local employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (noting this is a weighted extrapolation for illustrative use and excludes local demographic 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 — 26 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,826 at the 2021 Census → 8,440 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.
