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.

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 population of Burpengary reaches approximately 19,384 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 2,896 people (17.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 16,488 people. Such growth is determined using the ABS estimated resident population of 19,133 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 719 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. The local population density stands at 868 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical levels across regions evaluated by AreaSearch. Outperforming both Queensland and the wider country (9.5%), Burpengary's 17.6% surge since the 2021 census positions it at the forefront of regional growth.
Inward interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 55.8% of recent population additions, with natural increase and overseas migration also delivering positive contributions. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are used by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For territories lacking coverage or extending beyond 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 based on 2021 figures are applied. Because these state forecasts exclude breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch allocates proportional cohort weighting derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region dataset (using 2022 benchmarks). Long-term demographic modelling indicates Burpengary will rank in the top quartile of areas nationwide, climbing by 6,285 persons to 2041 based on recent annual ERP population statistics, which equates to an overall gain of 31.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,172 new dwellings have been approved in Burpengary over the past five years, an average of 234 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 235 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% 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
Over the past 5 financial years, residential building permits in Burpengary have tracked at an annual mean of roughly 234 new dwelling approvals, adding up to 1,172 homes. During the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 and FY-26), the region gained 2.5 new residents per year per finished residence, underlining healthy demand that underpins local real estate values. Meanwhile, typical construction costs for new dwellings average $317,000, falling below regional averages and providing buyers with relatively economical entry points. In addition, commercial building consents have reached $53.9 million this financial year, illustrating robust business investment in the district.
Burpengary records roughly 69% of the per-capita building volume observed across Greater Brisbane, yet it sits in the 90th percentile of districts surveyed across Australia. This substantial activity exceeds national benchmarks and signals deep confidence among developers. Standalone houses account for 70.0% of new residential projects while attached dwellings represent 30.0%, sustaining the neighborhood's low-density character and appealing to purchasers pursuing spacious housing. Registering approximately 81 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays clear hallmarks of an expanding growth hub. Demographic projections indicate that Burpengary will take on 6,034 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. Current volumes of home construction remain well aligned with forward population demands, helping maintain market stability while avoiding undue upward price shocks.

10,357 residents of Burpengary are employed, from a labour force of 10,687. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 68.2%. 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 16,734, 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 local labor pool in Burpengary features a balanced distribution between professional and trade occupations, marked by strong engagement in the construction sector, a low unemployment rate of 3.1%, and an estimated 4.7% rise in jobs across the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed locals tally 10,357 residents, with joblessness tracking 1.2% lower than the 4.3% recorded for Greater Brisbane, while labor force participation matches Greater Brisbane's 70.1% mark. Census statistics revealed that only 12.8% of workers conducted their duties from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during that period should be acknowledged.
Employment among local workers is concentrated primarily in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction represents a notable local specialization, maintaining an employment concentration 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, engaging 4.5% of workers compared to 8.9% throughout the wider region. Given the contrast between resident numbers and Census workplace counts, the area serves primarily as a residential district offering relatively constrained local workplace capacity. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, resident employment expanded by 4.7% alongside a 5.0% expansion in the total workforce, resulting in an unemployment uptick of 0.3 percentage points. Over the same timeframe across Greater Brisbane, employment expanded by 3.2%, the labor supply increased by 3.4%, and joblessness edged up by 0.1 percentage points. Looking forward, national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide perspective on emerging labor needs in Burpengary. These models outline five and ten-year trajectories calibrated against the local industrial base. While total Australian employment is anticipated to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across different fields. Mapping these sector-specific outlooks to Burpengary's economic profile points to a local job gain of 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses weighted industry shares for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

63.8% of residents in Burpengary report no long-term health condition, a less healthy profile than 77% of areas nationally. 7.0% need daily assistance with core activities, and 51.2% hold private health cover. The standardised death rate runs at 5.5 per 1,000 residents. Health conditions, assistance needs and insurance are 2021 Census measures; the death rate comes from current ABS releases.
Detail
Analysis by AreaSearch of mortality patterns and long-term illness rates points to notable health challenges within Burpengary, where frequent health conditions occur at rates well above normal benchmarks, particularly among older age groups. Furthermore, private health insurance uptake is comparatively constrained, covering roughly 51% of the population (~9,924 people), compared to 55.8% throughout Greater Brisbane. Asthma and mental health issues represent the two most common medical conditions in the community, affecting 9.4% and 10.5 of residents respectively, whereas 63.8% of locals reported having no chronic medical conditions, in contrast to 69.2% across Greater Brisbane.
Elevated rates of chronic illness place pressure on working-age residents. Seniors aged 65 and over comprise 16.4% of the population (3,173 people), higher than the 15.0% proportion seen across Greater Brisbane, and while older residents face specific health challenges, their national health rankings fare better than those of the broader local community.

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 — 719 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,488 at the 2021 Census → 19,384 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.
