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 Bardon

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Bardon has an estimated 11,168 residents, up from 10,343 at the 2021 Census — a change of 825 people, or 8.0%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 89.8% of that increase. That puts 2,381 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

AreaSearch evaluates the population of Bardon at approximately 11,168 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 825 people (8.0%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 10,343 people. Such adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,168 as of June 2025 alongside 25 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. With this headcount, population density stands at 2,381 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the upper quartile of nationwide areas reviewed by AreaSearch. Furthermore, Bardon's 8.0% expansion post-census trails the national average (9.5%) by only 1.5 percentage points, highlighting solid underlying demographic momentum.

Recent population gains were predominantly underpinned by overseas migration, which accounted for around 89.8% of total net additions. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries. For locations outside this dataset, or for horizons past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2023 (utilising 2021 figures) are utilized instead. Because the state-level figures omit breakdowns across age brackets, AreaSearch allocates cohort-specific proportional growth shares derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking forward, population growth is anticipated to track slightly under the national statistical area median, expanding by 867 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which equates to an overall rise of 7.8% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bardon

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

87 new dwellings have been approved in Bardon over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential approvals in Bardon have averaged roughly 17 dwellings per year, accumulating to 87 homes across the past 5 financial years. Given that approximately 7.2 people arrived annually for every residential unit constructed over the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), local supply falls considerably short of incoming demand, creating heightened buyer competition and upward pricing pressure. Furthermore, newly constructed residences carry an average estimated construction value of $1,131,000, underscoring building activity tailored toward higher-end, premium properties. Non-residential activity remains modest, with $5.0 million in commercial approvals recorded during this financial year.

Compared with Greater Brisbane benchmarks, dwelling construction in Bardon is markedly subdued (standing 63.0% below the broader metropolitan per-capita rate). Such tight development volumes typically support valuation levels and buyer interest across existing properties. Activity is similarly constrained compared to nationwide figures, pointing toward high market maturity along with potential planning restrictions. At the same time, new residential building has consisted entirely of standalone houses, reinforcing the traditional low-density suburban atmosphere preferred by family buyers seeking larger blocks. In fact, builders are erecting standalone houses at a higher proportion than the existing housing stock profile (82.0% at Census), illustrating steady appetite for family dwellings despite broader urban consolidation. With roughly 850 people per approved home, Bardon demonstrates the characteristics of an established, mature residential market. Demographic modelling indicates that Bardon will expand by 867 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. Although construction volumes are tracking in line with projected expansion, prospective purchasers may face increased market rivalry as resident numbers build.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Bardon

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

6,702 residents of Bardon are employed, from a labour force of 6,847. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 76.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,700, 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 local labour pool in Bardon is highly credentialed, showing notable concentration in professional services, a low jobless rate of 2.1%, and annual employment growth estimated at 2.1%. By March 2026, working residents numbered 6,702, whilst unemployment sat 2.2% lower than the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%. Concurrently, the participation rate is elevated, registering at 76.7% compared with 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. Census findings also revealed that 36.9% of local workers operated from home, though pandemic-related lockdown measures during that period must be kept in mind. The primary employment sectors for local residents comprise professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, alongside education & training.

The area exhibits exceptional concentration in professional & technical services, generating an employment proportion 2.0 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing makes up a minor share of local jobs, engaging only 2.6% of Bardon workers against 6.4% throughout Greater Brisbane. As reflected in the disparity between the working population tally and the resident population during the Census, this largely residential neighbourhood provides limited on-site employment. Analysis by AreaSearch utilizing ABS and SALM metrics indicates that across the 12-month timeframe, local jobs grew by 2.1% while the workforce base rose by 2.3%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe across Greater Brisbane, employment expanded by 3.2%, the labour pool increased by 3.4%, and joblessness edged up by 0.1 percentage points. Looking ahead, national forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 give useful perspective on future workforce needs in Bardon. Projecting across five- and ten-year horizons against the current industry composition indicates broad growth trajectories, even as individual industry trends diverge from the national averages of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sector forecasts across Bardon's occupational breakdown points to an estimated local employment expansion of 7.5% over five years and 15.1% over ten years (noting that this represents an illustrative baseline extrapolation without factoring in 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 — 25 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,343 at the 2021 Census → 11,168 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 (305041134). 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 Bardon 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 Bardon 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 Bardon 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 (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 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 Sep 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.
