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
East Brisbane has an estimated 6,872 residents, up from 6,118 at the 2021 Census — a change of 754 people, or 12.3%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. 106 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 88.0% of that increase. That puts 3,675 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
As of Aug 2026, the estimated population of East Brisbane stands at approximately 6,872 according to research by AreaSearch. Compared to the 6,118 residents counted during the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 754 individuals, or 12.3%. That movement builds upon the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 6,833 together with 106 validated new addresses documented following the Census. Settling at 3,674 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density sits in the highest quartile across nationally reviewed regions. Expanding by 12.3% since the 2021 census, East Brisbane outpaced both its surrounding SA3 district and the national average benchmark of 9.5% to establish regional leadership in growth.
International arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 88.0% of recent population additions. SA2 projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as the base year form the foundation of AreaSearch's modeling. Wherever coverage is absent or timelines extend beyond 2032, figures reference the Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 from 2021 data. Because those state publications omit cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch weights demographic distribution via proportional distributions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release based on 2022 data. Forward-looking projections indicate above median population growth relative to other assessed districts, with local numbers anticipated to gain 1,013 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP statistics, representing a 14.2% expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
356 new dwellings have been approved in East Brisbane over the past five years, an average of 71 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 71 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 6% 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
Residential building approvals across East Brisbane have averaged roughly 71 dwellings annually, accumulating to 356 homes throughout the prior 5 financial years. With an average of 1.4 incoming residents annually per completed dwelling between FY-22 and FY-26 over the last 5 financial years, property creation aligns closely with occupant demand to underpin healthy market stability. Meanwhile, an average construction cost of $835,000 per dwelling highlights building activity focused on higher-end, premium residential projects. In addition, $17.2 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, underscoring ongoing non-residential development.
Per capita dwelling approvals across East Brisbane exceed Greater Brisbane by 120.0%, providing prospective purchasers with broader selection. Surpassing national averages substantially, this building pace underlines strong developer appetite. High-density typologies heavily dominate upcoming pipeline works, with detached houses accounting for 6.0% while apartments and townhouses represent 94.0%. This orientation toward compact housing fosters attainable market access for entry-level purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a notable divergence from the prevailing built landscape (where houses currently comprise 44.0%), reflecting land scarcity alongside changing resident lifestyle preferences and affordability needs. The community records around 355 residents per approved dwelling, characteristic of an established urban environment. Projections indicate East Brisbane will add 974 occupants through to 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Maintaining current building velocity should enable residential supply to satisfy future requirements comfortably, supporting positive purchasing conditions while potentially enabling expansion exceeding baseline expectations.

4,473 residents of East Brisbane are employed, from a labour force of 4,794. Unemployment sits at 6.7%, with participation at 77.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
East Brisbane features an educated talent pool with high concentration in corporate and professional services, registering an unemployment rate of 6.7% alongside annual job growth of 0.7%. By March 2026, working residents numbered 4,473, while local joblessness stood 2.4% above the 4.3% reported for Greater Brisbane. In contrast, labor force engagement reached an elevated 77.5%, well above the wider metropolitan figure of 70.1%. Census records indicated that 25.2% of workers operated from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions must be taken into account. Health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training constitute the foremost employment sectors for local residents.
The area displays notable concentration in professional & technical fields, where workforce participation reaches 1.7 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, manufacturing claims a modest footprint, representing 3.4% of jobs locally versus 6.4% across the broader region. With 0.6 workers present per resident at the time of the Census, local job provision remains above typical levels. Review of ABS and SALM records reveals a 0.7% rise in employed residents set against a 2.3% expansion in the total labor pool over the 12-month period, lifting local unemployment by 1.5 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded job growth of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide further context on prospective workforce needs in East Brisbane. Those five-year and ten-year national estimates have been applied to the suburb's industry structure to project employment trajectories. While total Australian employment is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies substantially. Translating those sectoral forecasts to the local workforce composition indicates local employment expanding by 7.2% across five years and 14.6% across ten years (illustrative simple weighting extrapolation that excludes localized population adjustments).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment

ATO records put median taxable income at $60,513 a year against an average of $91,250. The average runs 51% above the median, a wider spread than most areas and a sign of a concentrated group of high earners. 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
ATO postcode statistics released for financial year 2023 show median taxable earnings of $60,513 and an average of $91,250 within the East Brisbane SA2. These figures rank exceptionally high nationwide, comparing against Greater Brisbane benchmarks of $58,236 and $72,799. Adjusting for an 11.36% increase in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023 puts estimated March 2026 earnings at $67,387 (median) and $101,616 (average). Census returns place personal, family, and household incomes between the 69th and 82nd percentiles nationally. Income distribution shows 32.0% of local earners (2,199 individuals) falling into the $1,500 - 2,999 bracket, aligning closely with the 33.3% share across the surrounding region.
Strong local spending power is reinforced by 31.1% of households earning more than $3,000 per week. While accommodation outlays absorb 17.2% of gross earnings, solid incomes keep disposable revenue at the 67th percentile, positioning the suburb in the 8th decile for SEIFA income.

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 — 106 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,118 at the 2021 Census → 6,872 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.
