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
Boondall has an estimated 10,450 residents, up from 9,596 at the 2021 Census — a change of 854 people, or 8.9%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. 109 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 69.7% of that increase. That puts 972 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Boondall has reached a population of approximately 10,450 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 854 residents (8.9%) compared to the 9,596 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is determined using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 10,430 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 109 validated new addresses added following the Census. The suburb's density stands at 972 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch assessment areas. With an 8.9% rate of expansion since the census, Boondall sits within 0.4 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (9.3%), indicating solid demographic performance.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 69.7% of total population additions in recent times. Population forecasts utilized by AreaSearch incorporate SA2 modeling from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using a 2022 baseline. For uncovered SA2 localities and projections beyond post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 figures released in 2023 utilizing 2021 data serve as the benchmark. Because state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional age cohort weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (issued in 2023 and grounded in 2022 data). Looking forward, demographic growth is projected to track slightly below the national statistical area median, with the locality projected to add 1,050 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP statistics, translating to a 9.9% overall increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
110 new dwellings have been approved in Boondall over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 73% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. 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 Boondall have averaged approximately 22 dwellings each year, totaling 110 approved dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years between FY-22 and FY-26. With an influx of 6.5 new residents annually for every newly built residence across the last 5 financial years between FY-22 and FY-26, housing additions are lagging population demand, creating competitive market dynamics and upward pressure on prices, while expected construction costs for new dwellings average $426,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $38.2 million during this financial year, underscoring strong commercial development activity. Per capita residential building volumes in Boondall are 75.0% below the regional average across Greater Brisbane.
This restricted pipeline of new construction reinforces buyer interest and property pricing across the established market. Such subdued development also trails national figures, indicating an established urban environment facing potential land constraints. Detached houses accounted for 73.0% of recent construction while attached dwellings made up 27.0%, maintaining the traditional low-density character of the neighborhood for buyers seeking space. An average of approximately 432 people per dwelling approval reflects a mature development landscape. Based on recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Boondall is anticipated to expand by 1,030 additional residents by 2041. If development continues at its existing pace, the volume of newly built dwellings may fail to keep up with demographic expansion, potentially intensifying competition among purchasers and sustaining upward pressure on property values.

6,008 residents of Boondall are employed, from a labour force of 6,299. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 73.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,296, about 79% 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 labor force in Boondall displays strong capabilities, anchored by significant participation across essential service industries, a jobless rate of 4.6%, and an estimated employment increase of 6.8% over the preceding twelve months. There were 6,008 employed residents recorded as of March 2026, alongside an unemployment rate that sits 0.3% above the 4.3% benchmark for Greater Brisbane, while the participation rate remains healthy at 73.0% compared to 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. Census findings revealed that 19.8% of workers performed their duties from home, an outcome subject to the influence of Covid-19 movement restrictions.
The local workforce is primarily engaged in health care & social assistance, transport, postal & warehousing, and education & training. Boondall exhibits a pronounced industry concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local employment proportion is 1.7 times that of the wider region. Conversely, construction represents a smaller share of employment at 6.9% locally compared to 9.0% regionally. The relationship between the Census resident workforce and local job count indicates that employment opportunities within the immediate boundaries of the suburb remain constrained. Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS and SALM figures shows that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 6.8% while the labor pool grew by 7.2%, generating a 0.3 percentage points rise in unemployment. In Greater Brisbane over the same timeframe, employment rose by 3.2% and the labor force increased by 3.4%, with the jobless rate climbing 0.1 percentage points. Future workforce requirements can be evaluated using national industry projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Across the nation, total employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with considerable variation across sectors. Applying these sector-level trends to the workforce profile of Boondall suggests local job numbers could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (representing a baseline illustrative weighting that excludes local population adjustments).

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 — 109 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,596 at the 2021 Census → 10,450 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.
