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.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Belmont - Gumdale stands at approximately 7,965 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 7,550 people recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents a net addition of 415 residents, or a 5.5% expansion. This demographic update draws upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 7,965 as of June 2025 alongside an observed 15 validated new addresses added following the Census. With a density of 240 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space per resident and capacity for future expansion.
The community's 5.5% post-census growth rate mirrors broader trends closely, sitting just 0.1 percentage points below the SA3 area figure of 5.6%. Inbound overseas migration was the primary engine of demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 73.6% of overall population gains across the recent timeframe. SA2 geographic modeling is based on ABS/Geoscience Australia demographic projections released in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures, supplemented by Queensland State Government SA2 projections released in 2023 from 2021 data for areas outside that scope or extending post-2032. Because state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age distribution weightings proportionally with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking at long-term outlooks, these models forecast a slight aggregate population reduction of 375 persons by 2041. Even so, individual age demographics are slated to expand, most notably the 75 to 84 cohort, which is expected to increase by 247 people.

The area also demonstrates strong workforce participation at 76.3%, surpassing the Greater Brisbane average of 70.1%. According to Census data, a moderate 24.0% of the population works from home, although these figures should be interpreted with consideration of the effects caused by Covid-19 lockdowns.
The local job market shows a strong concentration of employment in the sectors of health care and social assistance, construction, and education and training. Construction stands out as a particular area of specialization, accounting for 1.3 times the regional share of employment. Public administration and safety, on the other hand, represents a smaller portion of the workforce, employing only 4.7% of local workers, which is lower than the 7.0% found in Greater Brisbane. The predominance of residential characteristics in the area suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited, a conclusion supported by the comparison between the census working population and the resident population. An examination of ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, both employment and the labour force grew by 4.1%, resulting in a steady unemployment rate. Across Greater Brisbane over the same timeframe, jobs grew by 3.2% and the labour force by 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide a framework for evaluating future employment trends in Belmont - Gumdale. Across Australia, workforce numbers are anticipated to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. When applied to Belmont - Gumdale's specific occupational and industry profile, local employment is projected to expand by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years based on simple sectoral weighting extrapolation.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,550 at the 2021 Census → 7,965 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 (301011002). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
