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
Hillcrest has an estimated 10,101 residents, up from 8,832 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,269 people, or 14.4%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 83% of areas nationally. 286 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 41.5% of that increase. That puts 1,077 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 assessments conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Hillcrest stands at approximately 10,101 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,269 people (14.4%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 8,832 people. Such growth is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 10,043 as of June 2025 alongside 286 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date. Consequently, the local population density is 1,076 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations. Expanding by 14.4% since the 2021 census, Hillcrest outpaced both the national benchmark of 9.5% and broader state levels, establishing itself as a regional growth leader.
Inward interstate migration served as the primary demographic catalyst, accounting for roughly 41.5% of overall population gains during recent periods, while natural growth and overseas migration also contributed positively. For SA2 regions, AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline year. In instances involving years post-2032 or locations lacking coverage from this dataset, Queensland State Government SA2 projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data are incorporated. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data across each age cohort. In light of anticipated demographic shifts, Hillcrest is projected to experience population growth above the national median for statistical areas, expanding by 1,703 persons to 2041 according to the latest annual ERP population numbers, which reflects a total gain of 16.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
303 new dwellings have been approved in Hillcrest over the past five years, an average of 60 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 61 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 62% 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 construction approvals across Hillcrest have averaged around 60 new homes per year, accumulating to 303 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Net demographic inflow has averaged 3.6 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), indicating that housing demand significantly exceeds new supply, a condition that typically fosters buyer competition and price growth. Newly developed dwellings feature an average value of $329,000—below the regional average—suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers.
In addition, $1.9 million in commercial approvals was registered this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential nature of the area. Dwelling construction in Hillcrest remains subdued relative to Greater Brisbane, tracking 60.0% below regional average per person. Such constrained new construction generally reinforces demand and pricing across existing properties. Recent building activity comprises 62.0% detached houses and 38.0% attached dwellings, featuring an increasing blend of attached housing types that offer choices across price ranges from spacious family homes to more accessible compact options. This represents a significant departure from existing housing patterns (currently 87.0% houses), suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. With around 246 people per dwelling approval, Hillcrest shows a developing market. Longer-term projections show Hillcrest adding 1,645 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Under current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.

5,360 residents of Hillcrest are employed, from a labour force of 5,576. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 69.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 8,676, about 86% 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
Hillcrest maintains a skilled workforce characterized by strong manufacturing and industrial sectors alongside an unemployment rate of only 3.9%. As of March 2026, 5,360 residents are in work, while the unemployment rate is 0.5% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, and workforce participation is on par with Greater Brisbane's 70.1%. Census records indicated that a low 11.7% of residents worked from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Resident employment is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Manufacturing stands out as a particular employment specialization, capturing an employment share of 1.6 times the regional level.
Meanwhile, professional & technical has limited presence with 3.9% employment compared to 8.9% regionally. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by Census counts of the working population versus resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM data, during the year to March 2026, the local labour force decreased by 2.6% alongside a 3.2% employment decline, resulting in the unemployment rate rise by 0.6 percentage points. This compares to Greater Brisbane, where employment grew by 3.2%, the labour force expanded by 3.4%, and unemployment rose 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 offer further insight into potential future demand within Hillcrest across five and ten-year periods. 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 Hillcrest's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% 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 — 286 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,832 at the 2021 Census → 10,101 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.
