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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Crestmead

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Crestmead has an estimated 12,898 residents, up from 12,158 at the 2021 Census — a change of 740 people, or 6.1%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. 116 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 55.8% of that increase. That puts 1,851 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

Evaluations by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Crestmead stands at approximately 12,898 as of Aug 2026, marking an expansion of 740 people (6.1%) relative to the 12,158 people counted in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,895 recorded as of June 2025 along with 116 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. Consequently, the local population density reaches 1,850 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Natural growth served as the primary driver of local demographic expansion, generating roughly 55.8% of aggregate population gains during recent periods.

Projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year for individual SA2 areas. In instances where SA2 boundaries are not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 area projections issued in 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted. Because these state projections do not provide age category splits, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Demographic trajectories suggest expansion within the lower quartile growth of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, projecting an increase of 185 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 1.4% in total over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Crestmead

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

156 new dwellings have been approved in Crestmead over the past five years, an average of 31 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 68% 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

Planning authorities have sanctioned approximately 31 new homes annually in Crestmead, totaling 156 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). With an influx averaging 3.3 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), demand significantly exceeds new supply, which usually results in price growth and increased buyer competition, while new dwellings are developed at an average value of $271,000 in expected construction cost—below the regional average—suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers.

In addition, the commercial sector experienced substantial momentum, securing $40.7 million in commercial approvals this financial year, demonstrating high levels of local commercial activity. Per-capita building volumes in Crestmead remain markedly lower than Greater Brisbane (85.0% below regional average per person). Such constrained new construction usually reinforces demand and pricing for existing properties, though construction activity has intensified recently. This activity is also below average nationally, reflecting the area's maturity and pointing to possible planning constraints. Recent construction comprises 68.0% standalone homes and 32.0% townhouses or apartments, showing an expanding range of medium-density options creating a mix of opportunities across price brackets, from traditional family housing to more affordable compact alternatives. This represents a notable shift from the area's existing housing (currently 96.0% houses), indicating decreasing availability of developable sites and reflecting changing lifestyles and the need for more diverse, affordable housing options. With around 232 people per dwelling approval, Crestmead shows characteristics of a low density area. Demographic projections based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate Crestmead will gain 182 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

On the other hand, professional & technical is under-represented, with only 2.4% of Crestmead's workforce compared to 8.9% in Greater Brisbane.

In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2% and labour force growth of 3.4%, with a 0.1 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Crestmead. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Crestmead's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 5.7% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account 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 — 116 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,158 at the 2021 Census → 12,898 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 (311031314). 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 Crestmead 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 Crestmead 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 Crestmead 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
