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
Kangaroo Point has an estimated 12,215 residents, up from 9,761 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,454 people, or 25.1%. Growth has averaged 4.2% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 636 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 98.4% of that increase. That puts 9,116 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Kangaroo Point is close to 12,215 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,454 individuals (25.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 9,761 residents. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 12,206 and a further 636 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 9,115 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest 10% of all Australian locations evaluated by AreaSearch, indicating extremely strong demand for local land.
The 25.1% population expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the national rate (9.3%) and the state average, positioning the locality as a regional leader in growth. This population rise was mostly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 98.4% of all population increases in recent times. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline. In cases where these projections are unavailable, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are used instead. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (which use 2022 baseline data). Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, substantial population expansion in the highest national quartile is expected, with the locality projected to grow by 3,855 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total increase of 31.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,126 new dwellings have been approved in Kangaroo Point over the past five years, an average of 225 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 18 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 161 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 0% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Kangaroo Point has recorded an average of roughly 225 new residential approvals per year, summing up to 1,126 dwellings during the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 8 approvals have been logged. Over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the ratio of new residents to each newly built home was 2 people per year, indicating robust demand that underpins local real estate values. Newly constructed dwellings carry an average estimated construction cost of $634,000, which indicates that developers are targeting the premium segment with high-end projects.
Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $11.4 million during the current financial year, pointing to a steady level of commercial planning activity. In comparison to the broader Greater Brisbane region, building activity in Kangaroo Point is moderately higher (43.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), which provides choices for purchasers while supporting local property values. This level is substantially higher than the national benchmark, demonstrating strong developer commitment to the suburb. Additionally, all recent construction projects have consisted exclusively of townhouses or apartments. Focusing on high-density housing options provides more affordable entry thresholds and aligns with the needs of downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. Projections for the future indicate that Kangaroo Point will gain 3,846 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection). Under current building trends, the incoming supply of housing is expected to easily satisfy this demand, creating favorable circumstances for buyers and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

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 9,558, 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 workforce in Kangaroo Point is highly qualified, with professional services highly represented, an unemployment rate of 4.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.4% over the course of the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,549, while the unemployment rate was 0.1% higher than the Greater Brisbane level of 4.3%. The rate of participation in the labor force is exceptionally high, sitting at 77.7% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. According to Census data, a moderate 24.3% of workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and accommodation & food. The suburb shows an especially high concentration of workers in professional & technical fields, with employment levels reaching 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing has a very minor footprint, accounting for 3.4% of jobs compared to 6.4% across the region. This primarily residential suburb appears to provide few local jobs, as shown by comparing the count of Census workers in the area against the resident workforce. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 1.4% and the labor force expanded by 2.4%, which led to a 0.9 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This trend diverges from Greater Brisbane, where employment grew by 3.2%, the labor force expanded by 3.4%, and the unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends in Kangaroo Point. These estimates, looking five and ten years ahead, have been aligned with the local industry profile to project future employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth profiles vary considerably across different sectors. Applying these sectoral projections to the employment structure of Kangaroo Point suggests that local jobs will rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population growth forecasts).

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 — 636 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,761 at the 2021 Census → 12,215 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.
