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 Kangaroo Point

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Kangaroo Point has an estimated 12,220 residents, up from 9,761 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,459 people, or 25.2%. Growth has averaged 4.2% a year over five years, faster than 93% of areas nationally. 641 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 98.4% of that increase. That puts 9,119 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Kangaroo Point stands at approximately 12,220 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,459 people (25.2%) compared with the 9,761 people counted during the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,206 as of June 2025 alongside 641 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 9,119 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the upper 10% of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch and highlighting local real estate as a premium asset.

Surpassing both the state pace and the national average (9.5%), Kangaroo Point's 25.2% expansion since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional frontrunner in demographic gains. Inbound international migration served as the core catalyst, generating roughly 98.4% of total net additions in recent times. For individual SA2 boundaries, AreaSearch relies on ABS/Geoscience Australia demographic outlooks published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. Where locations lack coverage or for periods extending post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 figures released in 2023 utilizing 2021 records are incorporated. Because state models do not publish age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional cohort adjustments aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking to long-range patterns, Kangaroo Point is projected to rank within the top quartile of assessed statistical areas, gaining an estimated 3,683 persons by 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures—a cumulative rise of 30.0% across 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Kangaroo Point

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

8,549 residents of Kangaroo Point are employed, from a labour force of 8,949. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 77.7%. 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, 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 9,564, about 78% 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

The local labour pool in Kangaroo Point is characterised by high qualifications and strong representation in professional services, maintaining an unemployment rate of 4.5% alongside a 1.4% rise in total jobs over the past year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 8,549, with joblessness tracking 0.1% higher than the 4.3% recorded for Greater Brisbane, while labour force participation remains exceptionally elevated at 77.7% versus 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. Census figures indicated that 24.3% of workers performed their duties from home, though historical pandemic restrictions should be noted. The primary industry sectors employing local residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and accommodation & food.

In particular, professional & technical roles show elevated concentration, capturing an employment share 1.7 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing comprises a minor component of the local workforce at 3.4%, compared to 6.4% across the broader region. Given the contrast between local jobs and resident workers in Census metrics, this predominantly residential enclave provides relatively few internal workplace positions. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 1.4% while the labour force expanded by 2.4%, resulting in a 0.9 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. In contrast, Greater Brisbane saw employment lift by 3.2% alongside a 3.4% rise in workforce participants, with unemployment climbing by 0.1 percentage points. Additional context on future occupational demand is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26. Applying these national projections—which anticipate 6.6% job growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to Kangaroo Point's unique industry distribution suggests local employment may climb by 7.2% across five years and 14.5% over ten years (calculated via simple weighting for reference without integrating localised demographic models).

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 — 641 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,761 at the 2021 Census → 12,220 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 (305011108). 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 Kangaroo Point 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 Kangaroo Point 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 Kangaroo Point 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 (Apr 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.
