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
Kedron - Gordon Park has an estimated 15,658 residents, up from 14,432 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,226 people, or 8.5%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 62.9% of that increase. That puts 3,000 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the resident count of Kedron - Gordon Park reaches approximately 15,658 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,226 individuals (8.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the recorded population was 14,432 people. The variation is derived using the ABS estimated resident population of 15,654 from June 2025 alongside 83 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 2,999 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile among nationwide spots analyzed by AreaSearch.
The area's 8.5% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (8.0%), establishing it as a local growth frontrunner. This demographic expansion was primarily fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 62.9% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 locality, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this dataset, and for the years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 numbers are used. Note that these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age brackets; consequently, where they are applied, AreaSearch distributes growth proportionally based on the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) for each age group. Looking at future demographic patterns, population growth slightly below the national median is anticipated, with the locality projected to add 1,379 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 8.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
231 new dwellings have been approved in Kedron - Gordon Park over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 76% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Kedron - Gordon Park has recorded an average of roughly 46 new residential building approvals annually, translating to 231 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 47 approvals have been logged. With an average of 4.3 new occupants per year arriving for each home built over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand outstrips new supply, which typically drives up values and intensifies buyer competition, while new assets show an average construction cost of $482,000, indicating that building activity is focused on the high-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $22.2 million this financial year, showing moderate commercial construction activity. Relative to Greater Brisbane, Kedron - Gordon Park registers about three-quarters the rate of new dwelling approvals per capita while ranking in the 36th percentile of locations analyzed nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains interest in established houses. This rate is also below the national average, reflecting a mature market environment and pointing to potential planning or geographic limits on development. New construction comprises 76.0% detached houses and 24.0% multi-dwelling units or townhouses, maintaining the suburban profile of the area with a focus on free-standing residences that draw buyers seeking space. This construction mix leans more heavily toward detached structures than the existing housing stock (which was 58.0% at the Census), showing persistent demand for family residences despite rising densification pressures. With approximately 467 residents per approved dwelling, Kedron - Gordon Park demonstrates characteristics of an established market. Projections for the future indicate Kedron - Gordon Park will add 1,375 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Construction activity is keeping reasonable pace with this anticipated population growth, though buyers might experience greater competition as the resident base expands.

10,983 residents of Kedron - Gordon Park are employed, from a labour force of 11,309. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 86.9%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 12,412, about 79% 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 workforce in Kedron - Gordon Park is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and an estimated employment growth of 7.1% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 10,983 while the unemployment rate sat 1.4% below the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%, and labor force participation was exceptionally high (86.9% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane). Census statistics show that a high 25.2% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Resident employment is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. On the other hand, the manufacturing sector has a minimal footprint at 3.5% of employment compared to 6.4% across the region. This primarily residential suburb appears to provide few local jobs, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 7.1% while the labor force expanded by 7.2%, keeping the unemployment level relatively unchanged. This differs from Greater Brisbane, where employment rose by 3.2%, the labor force increased by 3.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context on prospective future demand in Kedron - Gordon Park. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local industry profile to project future employment trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry forecasts to the local employment structure in Kedron - Gordon Park indicates that employment should rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.6% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population 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 — 83 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,432 at the 2021 Census → 15,658 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.
