Chart Color Schemes
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
Burpengary has an estimated 19,376 residents, up from 16,488 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,888 people, or 17.5%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 716 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 55.8% of that increase. That puts 868 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 Burpengary stands at approximately 19,376 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,888 individuals (17.5%) from the 16,488 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This demographic shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 19,133 combined with 716 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Consequently, the population density reaches 867 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with the typical averages of other analyzed regions. The 17.5% growth rate of Burpengary since the 2021 census outpaced both the national benchmark (9.3%) and state figures, positioning the suburb as a primary driver of regional growth.
This population surge was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 55.8% of the total demographic growth in recent times, though all other contributors like natural increases and overseas migration also registered positive results. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2. If an SA2 is omitted from this dataset, or for projections extending beyond 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government's 2023 release (using 2021 base data) are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack detailed age distributions, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Future demographic modeling indicates substantial growth that places this suburb in the top tier of national statistical regions. Based on the most recent annual ERP data, the population is predicted to grow by 6,382 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 31.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
981 new dwellings have been approved in Burpengary over the past five years, an average of 196 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 165 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 84% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 363, running ahead of 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
Burpengary records approximately 196 building approvals for dwellings annually. Over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), 981 homes were approved, with an additional 333 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. The ratio of 2.9 new inhabitants added per built dwelling over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates robust demand that helps sustain property values. The average construction value of these new houses is $244,000, which falls below the regional average and offers more budget-friendly options for buyers. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $53.9 million have been logged during the current financial year, demonstrating solid progress in commercial real estate development.
Per capita building approvals in Burpengary are about three-quarters of the level observed in Greater Brisbane, yet the area ranks in the 87th percentile among all locations analyzed nationally. This high national standing points to strong developer trust in the local market. The mix of new construction consists of 84.0% detached houses and 16.0% attached dwellings, which preserves the historically low-density profile of the suburb and emphasizes spacious family accommodation. The ratio stands at roughly 101 people per dwelling approval, highlighting a growing market space. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, future forecasts project that Burpengary will gain 6,139 residents by 2041. Although residential construction is keeping pace with this projected population expansion, incoming buyers might face increased competition as the number of residents rises.

Boutique over 50s community with 276 residences in Burpengary East, offering modern low-maintenance homes and resort-style facilities including a magnesium pool, heated spa, cinema, bowling green, gym, billiards room, library, arts and crafts studio, beauty salon, bar, dining area, and barbecue facilities.
10,357 residents of Burpengary are employed, from a labour force of 10,687. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 67.9%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 16,725, 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 in Burpengary is evenly distributed between white and blue collar jobs, with the construction industry being exceptionally well-represented. The unemployment rate sits at a low 3.1%, and job growth is estimated at 4.7% over the previous year. As of March 2026, there are 10,357 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate is 1.2% lower than the 4.3% recorded in Greater Brisbane. However, labor force participation is slightly lower, standing at 67.9% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. According to Census data, only 12.8% of the workforce worked from home, although this figure should be interpreted with caution due to the influence of COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction shows a distinct local specialization, with its employment share reaching 1.5 times the regional proportion. In contrast, the professional & technical services sector is underrepresented, making up only 4.5% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 8.9%. Comparing the Census counts of the local working population against the resident population indicates that this predominantly residential suburb offers few local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 4.7% while the overall labor force grew by 5.0%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% rise in employment and a 3.4% rise in the labor force, with its unemployment rate ticking up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context for future demand trends in Burpengary. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries vary widely. Extrapolating these industry-specific trends to the local employment base suggests Burpengary's employment numbers would rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this is a direct weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population growth 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 — 716 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,488 at the 2021 Census → 19,376 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 (313041372). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
