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 Granville

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Granville has an estimated 3,227 residents, up from 3,051 at the 2021 Census — a change of 176 people, or 5.8%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 69.5% of that increase. Density is about 66 people per square kilometre.

Detail

According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Granville is estimated at 3,227 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 176 residents (5.8%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 3,051 individuals. This trend is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,227 along with 9 validated new addresses registered after the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 65 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and room for potential expansion. The primary catalyst for this growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 69.5% of the total population gains in recent times.

AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. For regions omitted from this dataset, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are applied. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales age groups proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking forward, the population is projected to expand at a rate slightly below the median for non-metropolitan Australia, with an estimated rise of 194 residents by 2041 based on recent annual ERP figures, representing a overall increase of 6.0% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Granville

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

27 new dwellings have been approved in Granville over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Granville has averaged approximately 5 residential building approvals annually, amounting to 27 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 1 approval has been logged. Given that an average of 4.3 people moved to the locality for each new home built over the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), demand remains far ahead of supply, typically generating upward pressure on property values and buyer competition. Meanwhile, new dwellings carry an average construction value of $208,000, which is below the wider region's average and points to more affordable building options.

Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $432,000 in the current financial year, indicating that development is mostly concentrated on housing. Relative to the Rest of Qld, Granville displays minimal development velocity, tracking 73.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited rate of new builds generally supports demand and prices for the existing housing stock. Construction volume is also below the national average, highlighting the mature nature of the suburb and pointing to possible planning barriers. Recent building approvals consist of 75.0% separate houses and 25.0% townhouses or semi-detached units, which maintains the low-density character of the area while catering to buyers looking for larger properties. This distribution differs markedly from the established housing stock, which is 90.0% separate houses, indicating a shrinking pool of developable land and a response to changing buyer budgets and preferences. The metric of 1199 people per dwelling approval highlights a quiet, low-scale building market. According to population projections, Granville is set to add 194 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction is keeping pace with this projected growth, though home buyers may face increased competition as the population expands.

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,051 at the 2021 Census → 3,227 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 (319051523). 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 Granville 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 Granville 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 Granville 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 (May 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.
