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
As of May 2026, the estimated population of Buderim - South stands at approximately 18,391 residents according to AreaSearch. This represents a 5.1% rise, or an additional 890 individuals, compared to the 17,501 citizens counted during the 2021 Census. This growth calculation incorporates the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 18,362 along with 315 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The density of the area is 610 persons per square kilometer, which leaves ample space per resident and highlights opportunities for future housing projects. While the local growth rate of 5.1% is slightly below the 8.0% recorded across the broader SA3 district, it remains highly competitive.
The primary catalyst for this population expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 95.6% of the overall gains in recent times. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, utilizing 2022 as a baseline, are used for SA2 areas. For localities without this coverage, or for projections extending past 2032, Queensland Government SA2 data from 2023 based on 2021 baselines are substituted. Because these state-level figures omit age-specific details, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections using 2022 statistics. Looking forward, the population is projected to grow by 1,993 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP figures. This represents a 10.7% total increase over the 16 years, placing the growth rate just under the national median for regional territories.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
421 new dwellings have been approved in Buderim - South over the past five years, an average of 84 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 43% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, 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
Buderim - South records an average of about 84 new residential approvals annually, with 421 residential builds approved between FY-21 and FY-25, and 27 recorded in FY-26 so far. With an average of 1.8 new occupants per home added during the five financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand has aligned well with supply to foster stable market dynamics. Recent statistics over the last 2 financial years indicate this ratio has dropped to 1 people per dwelling, reflecting balanced conditions. The average construction value of these new dwellings is $368,000.
Additionally, commercial development approvals total $9.1 million for the current financial year, highlighting that the locality remains overwhelmingly residential. Buderim - South exhibits building activity per resident that is comparable to the Rest of Qld, keeping the market balanced in line with the wider state. The mix of new construction comprises 43.0% detached homes and 57.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on denser housing options offers more affordable entry points and appeals to first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock, where houses make up 71.0% of homes, due to a scarcity of greenfield sites and changing resident preferences regarding budget and lifestyle. A quiet development landscape is highlighted by the ratio of 670 people per single dwelling approval. Projections indicate that the population of Buderim - South will increase by 1,964 occupants by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Given the current pace of building approvals, the supply of new housing is well-positioned to satisfy this demand, supporting buyers and potentially allowing growth to exceed standard forecasts.

9,897 residents of Buderim - South are employed, from a labour force of 10,091. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 67.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,847, about 86% 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 workforce of Buderim - South is highly qualified, with a strong concentration of employment in essential services and an unemployment rate of only 1.9%. In March 2026, there are 9,897 employed citizens in the area, and the unemployment rate is 2.0% lower than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld. The labor force participation rate stands at 67.2%, which is close to the Regional Qld average of 64.3%. Census data indicates that a moderate 19.1% of working locals operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The major employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. Notably, health care & social assistance jobs are 1.3 times more concentrated here than the regional standard. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.8% of the local workforce, compared to 4.5% across the region. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population indicates that this residential suburb offers few local jobs. AreaSearch examined SALM and ABS data to determine workforce trends for the period ending March 2026. The analysis showed that the labour force fell by 2.2% while employment dropped by 2.3%, which caused the unemployment rate to climb by 0.1 percentage points. This outcome differs from the situation in Regional Qld, where employment increased by 0.1%, the labour force expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment also rose by 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts in May-25 that provide context for anticipated demand in Buderim - South. These forecasts span five and ten year intervals and have been aligned with local employment data to project growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these sectoral projections are applied to Buderim - South's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 7.1% over five years and 14.5% over ten years. This calculation represents a basic weighting extrapolation intended for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized population projections.

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 — 315 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,501 at the 2021 Census → 18,391 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.
