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.

Benowa has an estimated 10,728 residents, up from 9,889 at the 2021 Census — a change of 839 people, or 8.5%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years. 215 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 85.9% of that increase. That puts 1,638 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Benowa is approximately 10,728 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 839 individuals (8.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,889 residents. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 10,728 for June 2025 and 215 validated new addresses identified after the Census. This population level results in a density of 1,637 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the average across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Throughout the past ten years, Benowa has shown stable expansion with a 1.8% compound annual growth rate, ahead of the Rest of Qld.
The primary driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 85.9% of the overall population increases in recent times. AreaSearch uses projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year for each SA2. For SA2 regions without this coverage, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized. These state-level projections lack breakdowns by age group, so AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Based on anticipated demographic developments, population growth outside capital cities is expected to exceed the median, with this location projected to add 2,135 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP figures, indicating a total expansion of 19.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
294 new dwellings have been approved in Benowa over the past five years, an average of 58 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 57 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 19% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Approximately 58 new residential dwellings have been approved annually in Benowa, creating a total of 294 homes over the previous 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 9 approvals have been logged. With an average of 2.9 new residents per year per dwelling recorded between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating solid demand that supports property markets, new dwellings are constructed with an average value of $408,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $53.3 million have been registered this financial year, reflecting active local business development. Benowa experiences significantly lower construction volume compared to the Rest of Qld, running 71.0% below the regional average per capita.
This limited supply of new dwellings generally supports demand and valuations for established properties. Recent building approvals consist of 19.0% standalone houses and 81.0% townhouses or apartments. This preference for higher-density housing provides more affordable options and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock, where houses make up 61.0%, indicating a reduction in available development land alongside changing lifestyle needs and affordability challenges. The area has roughly 712 people for every residential approval, pointing to a mature market. Looking forward, the population of Benowa is projected to rise by 2,135 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Residential development is progressing at a reasonable rate relative to this anticipated growth, though purchasers could experience heightened competition as the resident base grows.

5,656 residents of Benowa are employed, from a labour force of 5,781. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 64.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 workforce in Benowa is highly educated and distributed across various industries, showing an unemployment rate of only 2.2% alongside a 3.2% rise in estimated jobs over the past year. In March 2026, there were 5,656 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.8% below the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, and participation levels aligned closely with the 64.3% seen in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a moderate 19.4% of residents performed their jobs from home, although this may have been influenced by pandemic containment measures. Resident employment is concentrated within health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food services.
The local area displays a notable concentration in professional & technical services, with employment shares reaching 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented at 0.3% compared to the regional average of 4.5%. Even though there are local job opportunities, a significant portion of the working population appears to travel outside the area for employment, based on the ratio of Census workers to residents. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that for the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 3.2% while the labor force expanded by 3.3%, keeping the unemployment level stable. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide context for future labor demand in Benowa. These five and ten-year projections are mapped against the local industry profile to estimate future changes. While overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment in Benowa will rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population 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 — 215 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,889 at the 2021 Census → 10,728 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.
