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
Cranbrook has an estimated 6,096 residents, up from 5,844 at the 2021 Census — a change of 252 people, or 4.3%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. That puts 1,814 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 Cranbrook stands at approximately 6,096 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 252 people (4.3%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 5,844 people. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,096 combined with 5 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Consequently, the population density reaches 1,814 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical average across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. The post-census expansion of 4.3% lags within 2.8 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (7.1%), showing competitive local growth dynamics.
Most of this population increase was driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 87.5% of the total demographic gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilises population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, as well as for projections past 2032, data from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 numbers) is used. Because these state-level projections lack specific age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates age cohort growth weightings matching the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) for each group. Based on these projections, the local area is expected to experience a population contraction of 361 residents by 2041. Even with this overall decline, certain age groups are set to expand, particularly residents aged 85 and over, who are expected to increase by 132 individuals. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Development in Cranbrook is highly restricted, with building approvals averaging under 1 per year, representing minimal activity over the last five years. Such restricted levels of construction reflect the rural character of the district, where building is generally prompted by specific local housing requirements rather than general market demand. Given these tiny approval rates, annual growth statistics and comparisons can fluctuate notably depending on individual projects. Cranbrook exhibits a much lower volume of construction and development compared to the Rest of Qld. The level of building activity is also positioned well below national averages.
As population forecasts indicate stable or contracting numbers, Cranbrook is likely to experience less pressure on housing demand, which should benefit prospective purchasers.

2,710 residents of Cranbrook are employed, from a labour force of 2,926. Unemployment sits at 7.4%, with participation at 56.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,331, about 87% 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
Cranbrook possesses a skilled labor force with strong representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of 7.4%. As of March 2026, there are 2,710 working residents. The unemployment rate is 3.5% higher than the Regional Qld average of 3.9%, showing potential for improvement, while participation in the workforce is notably lower at 56.7% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a minor 5.7% of the workforce worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Resident employment is heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector has a minor footprint, employing just 0.6% of workers compared to 4.5% across the region. This primarily residential locality appears to provide sparse local job opportunities, as shown by the disparity between Census working population and resident counts. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force contracted by 1.9% and total employment fell by 3.1% over the 12 months leading to March 2026, leading to a 1.1 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment and a 0.3% rise in the labor force, with its unemployment rate increasing by 0.1 percentage points. Employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand in Cranbrook. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of expansion vary greatly by industry. Applying these national trends to the local industry mix suggests Cranbrook's employment could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted extrapolation and does not incorporate local population forecasts.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Cranbrook is $1,400 a week (about $73,000 a year), with median personal income at $703 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $48,860 a year against an average of $57,593. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
The most recent postcode-level ATO data from AreaSearch for the 2023 financial year indicates that local incomes in the Cranbrook SA2 are below national benchmarks, with a median of $48,860 and an average of $57,593. This is lower than the Regional Qld median of $53,146 and average of $66,593. Factoring in Wage Price Index growth of 11.36% since the 2023 financial year, estimated figures for March 2026 would be roughly $54,410 for the median and $64,136 for the average. In the 2021 Census, household, family, and individual incomes all ranked modestly, landing in the 28th percentile.
The statistics show the largest income group consists of 31.2% of households earning between $1,500 - 2,999 per week (1,901 residents), which is very similar to the wider region where 31.7% fall into this bracket. Once housing costs are met, residents retain 86.1% of their income for other discretionary expenses.

Detail
Public transport data shows 24 active transit stops operating within Cranbrook, consisting of various bus options. These stops are connected to 9 distinct routes, which combine to support 1,012 passenger trips per week. Transit access is rated as good, with residents living an average of 230 meters from their nearest stop. Because this is a residential district, most commuters travel outside the area, and private vehicles remain the main transport mode at 90%. Vehicle ownership averages 1.3 per household, which is lower than the regional average. A relatively small proportion of residents work from home, recorded at 5.7% in the 2021 Census, which may reflect pandemic-era conditions.
Service frequency averages 144 daily trips across all routes, which translates to roughly 42 weekly services for each transit stop.

The median resident of Cranbrook is 40. 28.2% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
The median age in Cranbrook is 40, which is close to the Regional Qld median of 41 and slightly higher than the national average of 38. The 25 - 34 age bracket is well represented at 14.8% compared to Regional Qld, while the 45 - 54 bracket is less common at 9.8%.

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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,844 at the 2021 Census → 6,096 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 (318021472). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
