Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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

According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Burpengary - East is estimated at 9,547 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,889 residents (43.4%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,658 people. The update is derived using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 9,216 and a further 688 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 351 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and space for subsequent expansion. The 43.4% population growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the national benchmark of 9.3% and the state average, positioning the area as a regional growth leader.

interstate migration was the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 81.2% of the population increase, although natural growth and overseas migration also registered positive results. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2. For SA2 regions lacking this dataset, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are adopted. Because state data does not detail age categories, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data) for each age bracket. Future demographic trends indicate rapid growth, placing the area in the highest 10 percent of regions reviewed by AreaSearch, with the local population projected to increase by 7,696 individuals to 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP figures, representing a total gain of 77.1% over the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Burpengary - East

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

5,181 residents of Burpengary - East are employed, from a labour force of 5,301. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 72.1%. 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 7,662, about 80% 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 - East is balanced between white and blue collar occupations, with notable representation in the construction sector, an unemployment rate of 2.3%, and employment growth estimated at 4.6% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 5,181 local residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 2.1% lower than the 4.3% rate recorded across Greater Brisbane, while participation rates are close to the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. Census figures indicate that a modest 15.4% of the workforce worked from home, though this data is subject to the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.

The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a clear specialization in construction, with its share of local employment at 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 4.7% of workers, which is below the 8.9% rate for Greater Brisbane. The comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited. Analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS data indicates that employment grew by 4.6% during the twelve-month period, while the labour force expanded by 5.0%, which resulted in the unemployment rate increasing by 0.4 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% increase in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Burpengary - East. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Burpengary - East's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years. It should be noted that this calculation represents a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised 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 — 688 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,658 at the 2021 Census → 9,547 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 (313021364). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Burpengary - East SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Burpengary - East page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Burpengary - East data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jun 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
