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.

Boondall has an estimated 10,443 residents, up from 9,596 at the 2021 Census — a change of 847 people, or 8.8%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. 104 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 69.7% of that increase.

Detail
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the resident population of Boondall is estimated at 10,443 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 847 individuals (8.8%) from the 9,596 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 10,430 alongside 104 confirmed new addresses established after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 971 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical levels across surveyed areas. The 8.8% growth rate since the census trails the wider SA4 region (9.2%) by a narrow 0.4 percentage points, indicating competitive local growth drivers.
Population increases in recent times were largely underpinned by overseas migration, which represented roughly 69.7% of the total demographic growth. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 locality. In instances where these figures are unavailable or for periods beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are substituted. Because the Queensland state projections omit age-specific details, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Long-term demographic trends suggest the area will experience population expansion slightly below the national median, with projections indicating a climb of 1,100 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 10.4% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
251 new dwellings have been approved in Boondall over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 53rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 25, 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
Residential construction approvals in Boondall run at roughly 50 new dwellings annually, totaling 251 residential approvals over the 5-year financial period spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with 23 approvals registered during FY-26 so far. Over the five financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the average increase in occupancy stood at 2.9 new residents per dwelling, pointing to steady demand that should bolster real estate values. The average construction cost for new residential properties is $149,000, which falls below regional averages and provides more budget-friendly alternatives for home buyers. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $38.2 million during the current financial year, showing active commercial expansion.
Boondall's per capita rate of new residential approvals is about two-thirds of the level observed across Greater Brisbane, placing it in the 30th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which restricts choice for buyers while boosting demand for established properties. The composition of new residential builds stands at 65.0% separate houses and 35.0% townhouses or multi-unit dwellings, indicating a growing supply of medium-density housing that provides diverse options across different price points, ranging from traditional family residences to smaller, more affordable options. This represents a clear shift from the current housing landscape, where detached houses make up 83.0% of properties, pointing to a decrease in available buildable land while aligning with changing lifestyle choices and affordability pressures. Boondall represents a highly established housing market, averaging approximately 604 residents for every new home approved. Long-term forecasts indicate that Boondall will add 1,087 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Considering current building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population expansion above the projected levels.

6,008 residents of Boondall are employed, from a labour force of 6,299. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 73.1%. 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 8,289, 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 workforce in Boondall features high skill levels and a strong presence in essential services, with an unemployment rate of 4.6% and an estimated 6.8% rise in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,008, while the local unemployment rate sat 0.3% higher than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%. Labor force participation is relatively standard at 73.1% compared to 70.4% for Greater Brisbane. According to Census responses, a moderate 19.8% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Resident employment is heavily concentrated in the fields of health care & social assistance, transport, postal & warehousing, and education & training. The transport, postal & warehousing sector is particularly prominent, employing residents at 1.7 times the average rate for the region. Conversely, the construction sector is less represented, accounting for 6.9% of local employment compared to 9.0% across the broader region. The relationship between the census working population and the resident population suggests that local employment options within the area are somewhat limited. According to analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the past 12 months saw local employment grow by 6.8% while the labor force expanded by 7.2%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This differed from Greater Brisbane, which recorded a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide context for potential future labor demand in Boondall. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been applied to the local workforce composition to estimate growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of expansion vary considerably across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment structure of Boondall suggests local employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted calculation for illustration and 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 — 104 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,596 at the 2021 Census → 10,443 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (302031035). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
