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.

Bray Park has an estimated 10,810 residents, up from 10,271 at the 2021 Census — a change of 539 people, or 5.2%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 73.5% of that increase. That puts 2,408 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Bray Park stands at approximately 10,810 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 539 individuals (5.2%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,271 people. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 10,810 from June 2025 alongside 35 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,407 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all Australian areas analyzed. Recent population increases were chiefly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 73.5% of the overall population growth.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and for any projections extending past 2032, Queensland Government SA2 projections from 2023 (based on 2021 data) are used. Because the state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch applies age-group weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data). Looking at these projected demographic movements, growth is expected to fall into the bottom national quartile, with the population projected to rise by 87 residents by 2041 compared to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a 0.8% total gain over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
196 new dwellings have been approved in Bray Park over the past five years, an average of 39 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, 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
In Bray Park, approvals have been granted for approximately 39 residential properties each year, totaling 196 building approvals over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 7 during FY-26 so far. With an average of 1.6 new residents moving in per completed home over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), local supply and demand appear balanced, maintaining a steady market. However, this ratio rose to 4.5 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, indicating intensifying demand and decreasing availability. New projects carry an average construction cost of $214,000, which is below the regional average and points to more accessible pricing for buyers.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $23.0 million this financial year, pointing to steady non-residential construction. Bray Park generates about 75% of the per capita construction volume seen in Greater Brisbane, ranking in the 33rd percentile nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains interest in established homes. New builds consist of 48.0% houses and 52.0% multi-dwelling units or townhouses. This pivot toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points and attracts investors, downsizers, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the current housing stock (97.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and adapting to changing lifestyle choices and affordability constraints. With a ratio of roughly 917 people for every housing approval, the local market is highly established. Long-term forecasts indicate Bray Park will add 87 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. At the current pace of construction, the supply of new housing should easily accommodate this demand, supporting buyers and potentially allowing for growth beyond the projected population figures.

5,477 residents of Bray Park are employed, from a labour force of 5,989. Unemployment sits at 8.5%, with participation at 69.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,628, about 80% 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 is evenly divided between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with a strong representation in essential services, an overall unemployment rate of 8.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 0.8% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,477, while the unemployment rate of 4.2% was just below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, indicating potential for expansion, and labor force participation closely matched the regional rate of 70.4%. Census figures indicate that a modest 13.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Retail trade is especially prominent, with a local employment concentration 1.2 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 5.6% of local jobs compared to 8.9% across the region. This largely residential district appears to have a shortage of local jobs, as shown by comparing the count of working residents against those employed within the area during the Census. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data shows that for the year ending March 2026, total employment grew by 0.8% and the labor force expanded by 0.5%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context for future local demand. These five-year and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across sectors. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment in Bray Park could grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, representing a simple proportional mapping for illustration that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 35 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,271 at the 2021 Census → 10,810 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.
