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
Burleigh Heads has an estimated 10,235 residents, up from 9,176 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,059 people, or 11.5%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years, faster than 76% of areas nationally. 651 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 79.1% of that increase. That puts 1,196 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Burleigh Heads stands at approximately 10,235 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,059 people (11.5%) compared to the 9,176 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is deduced from the ABS estimated resident population of 10,055 as of June 2025 alongside 651 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census date. Overall density reaches 1,195 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with typical figures across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the Rest of Qld (9.4%) and national benchmarks, Burleigh Heads's 11.5% post-2021 census surge positions it as a local growth standout.
This influx was predominantly propelled by overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 79.1% of recent net gains, while natural increase and interstate movements also provided positive support. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) for SA2 territories. Where locations lack coverage or extend past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are used instead. Because those state models omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings sourced from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) across each demographic cohort. Future population forecasts point to above-median growth relative to nationwide regional areas, anticipating an increase of 1,086 persons by 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall 8.8% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
465 new dwellings have been approved in Burleigh Heads over the past five years, an average of 93 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 93 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% 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
Approvals for new dwellings across Burleigh Heads have averaged roughly 93 annually, totaling 465 homes authorized over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). With approximately 1.5 new residents per year arriving per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local supply and demand maintain an equilibrium that supports steady conditions. Concurrently, newly approved residences reflect an average value of $1,506,000, underscoring builder focus on higher-tier, premium developments. In addition, commercial approvals have reached $26.0 million this financial year, demonstrating ongoing capital commitment to commercial property.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Burleigh Heads tracks at around 63% of the level seen in Rest of Qld, while ranking in the 87th percentile across all nationally evaluated markets. Recent building approvals consist of 15.0% detached dwellings and 85.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on higher-density housing creates accessible buying pathways that cater to downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors alike. Marking a distinct evolution from the existing neighborhood profile (currently 33.0% houses), this pattern highlights diminishing greenfield land, shifting lifestyle preferences, and heightened demand for varied, attainable housing formats. Generating around 91 people per dwelling approval, Burleigh Heads exhibits clear markers of an expanding market. Long-range demographic projections indicate that Burleigh Heads will add 906 residents through to 2041 (measured against the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on ongoing construction volume, pipeline residential supply is positioned to satisfy demand effectively, fostering constructive conditions for buyers while potentially facilitating population gains beyond existing projections.

5,877 residents of Burleigh Heads are employed, from a labour force of 6,065. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 67.4%. 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 14,889, about 145% 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 workforce in Burleigh Heads is highly qualified, with substantial representation in essential services, a low jobless rate of 3.1%, and an estimated 3.9% rise in employment over the past year. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 5,877, keeping unemployment 0.8% below the 3.9% seen across Regional Qld, while the participation rate remains solid at 67.4% versus 64.2% in Regional Qld. Census records also indicate that 19.6% of workers operated from home, though potential distortions from Covid-19 lockdown measures should be taken into account. Resident employment centers heavily around health care & social assistance, construction, as well as accommodation & food.
Specialization is particularly elevated within professional & technical roles, where the local concentration is 1.7 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of the resident workforce, trailing Regional Qld's 4.5%. With 1.5 workers for every resident as at the Census, the locality serves as a major commercial center, providing more positions than it has local workers and drawing commuter flows from neighboring communities. Drawing on AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics, the recent 12-month period recorded a 3.9% gain in employment alongside a 3.3% expansion in the labor pool, reducing the local unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Further context regarding prospective local labor needs is available through Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26. Projected across five and ten-year horizons and aligned with the local industry distribution, national job growth is modeled at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with wide variation across individual sectors. Applying these specific trajectories to the industry distribution of Burleigh Heads suggests local employment would rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this represents a straightforward weighting extrapolation for demonstration and excludes localized population models).

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 — 651 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,176 at the 2021 Census → 10,235 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (309011225). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
