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
Bundall has an estimated 5,105 residents, up from 4,895 at the 2021 Census — a change of 210 people, or 4.3%. That puts 1,309 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 Bundall stands at approximately 5,105 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 210 residents (4.3%) from the 4,895 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,048, alongside 34 validated new addresses identified since the Census. With these numbers, the area has a density of 1,309 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical average across the country. The primary driver of this population increase has been overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 82.5% of the total growth in recent times.
AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which use 2022 as their baseline. In cases where this data is unavailable or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are substituted. Because the Queensland state data does not detail specific age categories, AreaSearch allocates growth proportions across age groups using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 benchmarks. Looking forward, the population is set to expand significantly, ranking in the top quarter of non-metropolitan areas in Australia. Based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, the area is projected to gain 1,150 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 21.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
69 new dwellings have been approved in Bundall over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with 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
Bundall has seen an average of roughly 13 new residential approvals per year, totaling 69 dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 11 during FY-26 so far. The local housing market appears balanced, with a ratio of 1.1 people moving to the area for every new dwelling constructed over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, though this figure shifted to -0.5 people per dwelling over the 2 financial years ending recently, pointing to even more balanced conditions. Developers are targeting the luxury segment, with the average construction value of new builds reaching $820,000.
Additionally, commercial development has progressed at a moderate pace, with $9.6 million in approvals recorded during the current financial year. Construction activity in Bundall is highly limited compared to the Rest of Qld, sitting at 86.0% below the regional per capita average. This low rate of new supply typically supports demand and valuations for the existing housing stock, although building activity has seen recent upturns. The level of development is also lower than the national average, indicating a mature market or potential planning bottlenecks. Recent building approvals consist of 55.0% detached homes and 45.0% attached dwellings, offering a wider selection of townhouses and apartments to suit different budgets, from family residences to smaller units. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock, which is 74.0% houses, showing a decreasing volume of vacant land alongside changing housing needs. The area has a ratio of about 350 people for each approved dwelling, which is typical of a fully established suburb. Based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Bundall is expected to add 1,093 residents by 2041. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of new homes may fall short of population demand, which could intensify competition among home buyers and drive up property prices.

2,890 residents of Bundall are employed, from a labour force of 2,958. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 71.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,535, about 148% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 highly educated, featuring a large proportion of professional services workers, a low unemployment rate of 2.3%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.2% over the prior year. In March 2026, there were 2,890 employed residents, with an unemployment rate 1.6% lower than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld. Furthermore, the participation rate of 71.1% is significantly higher than the 64.3% average for Regional Qld. Census data indicates that 19.5% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The resident workforce is largely employed in healthcare & social assistance, construction, and accommodation & food services. Professional & technical services show a strong concentration, with local representation reaching 2.0 times the regional average. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, accounting for 0.4% compared to the regional benchmark of 4.5%. With a ratio of 1.5 jobs for every resident worker at the time of the Census, the area serves as a key employment hub that draws commuters from surrounding suburbs. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, both employment and the labor force grew by 3.2% during the 12 months ending March 2026, keeping the unemployment rate stable. During this same timeframe, Regional Qld recorded job growth of 0.1% and labor force expansion of 0.3%, alongside a rise of 0.1 percentage points in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 help illustrate future employment demand in Bundall. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix yields an estimated local employment growth of 6.9% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, noting that this is 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 — 34 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,895 at the 2021 Census → 5,105 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.
