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
Labrador has an estimated 19,757 residents, up from 18,643 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,114 people, or 6.0%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 344 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 3,951 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
Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Labrador's population is around 19,757 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,114 people (6.0%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 18,643 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 19,745 from the ABS as of June 2025 and an additional 344 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,951 persons per square kilometer, which lies in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, making land in the area a highly-sought resource.
Labrador's 6.0% growth since census positions it within 1.0 percentage points of the SA3 area (7.0%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, which was essentially the sole driver of population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Moving forward with demographic trends, a significant population increase in the top quartile of Australian non-metropolitan areas is forecast, with the area expected to increase by 6,941 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting reflecting an increase of 35.1% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
459 new dwellings have been approved in Labrador over the past five years, an average of 91 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 72 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 19% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 33, 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
Labrador has averaged around 91 new dwelling approvals each year, totalling 459 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 31 approvals have been recorded. With an average of 1.3 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the market shows good balance between supply and demand, supporting stable conditions, while new dwellings are developed at an average value of $319,000—under regional levels—indicating more accessible housing choices for buyers. There have also been $3.4 million in commercial approvals this financial year, suggesting the area's residential character.
Compared to Rest of Qld, Labrador records somewhat elevated construction (22.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), maintaining good buyer choice while supporting existing property values, though construction activity has eased recently. New development consists of 19.0% detached dwellings and 81.0% attached dwellings. This trend toward denser development provides accessible entry options and appeals to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers. At around 402 people per approval, Labrador indicates a mature market. Future projections show Labrador adding 6,929 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.

10,055 residents of Labrador are employed, from a labour force of 10,680. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 60.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 16,143, about 82% 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
Labrador has a skilled workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of 5.9%, and 4.1% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of March 2026, 10,055 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.9% above Regional Qld's rate of 3.9%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (60.9% compared to Regional Qld's 64.3%). Based on Census responses, a low 12.1% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The dominant employment sectors among residents include health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade.
The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in accommodation & food, with employment levels at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing shows lower representation at 0.4% versus the regional average of 4.5%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, during the year to March 2026, employment levels increased by 4.1% and labour force increased by 3.3%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1% and labour force growth of 0.3%, with a 0.1 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Labrador. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. 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 Labrador's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Labrador is $1,188 a week (about $62,000 a year), with median personal income at $654 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $47,148 a year against an average of $58,053. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
AreaSearch's latest postcode level ATO data for financial year 2023 reveals that income in the Labrador SA2 is below the national average, with the median assessed at $47,148 while the average income stands at $58,053. This contrasts to Regional Qld's figures of a median income of $53,146 and an average income of $66,593. Based on Wage Price Index growth of 11.36% since financial year 2023, current estimates would be approximately $52,504 (median) and $64,648 (average) as of March 2026. From the 2021 Census, household, family and personal incomes in Labrador all fall between the 12th and 20th percentiles nationally.
Looking at income distribution, the $800 - 1,499 earnings band captures 28.6% of the community (5,650 individuals), diverging from the metropolitan region where the $1,500 - 2,999 category predominates at 31.7%. Housing affordability pressures are severe, with only 76.7% of income remaining, ranking at the 8th percentile.

Frequently Asked Questions - Health
36.2% of Labrador residents were born overseas and 19.1% speak a language other than English at home. The largest reported ancestries are English (28.9%) and Australian (20.4%). Ancestry, language and country of birth are counted only by the Census, so these are 2021 figures.
Detail
Labrador was found to be more culturally diverse than the vast majority of local markets, with 19.1% of its population speaking a language other than English at home and 36.2% born overseas. The main religion in Labrador was found to be Christianity, which makes up 46.0% of people in Labrador. However, the most apparent overrepresentation was in Judaism, which comprises 0.3% of the population, compared to 0.1% across Regional Qld. In terms of ancestry (country of birth of parents), the top three represented groups in Labrador are English, comprising 28.9% of the population, Australian, comprising 20.4% of the population, which is notably lower than the regional average of 26.5%, and Other, comprising 11.8% of the population.
Additionally, there are notable divergences in the representation of certain other ethnic groups: New Zealand is notably overrepresented at 1.5% of Labrador (vs 0.9% regionally), Maori at 1.9% (vs 0.8%) and Serbian at 0.6% (vs 0.1%).
Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Labrador is 44, older than 78% of areas nationally. That is 1 year younger than at the 2021 Census. 27.4% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
At 44 years, Labrador's median age is marginally above the Regional Qld average of 41 similarly considerably older than Australia's 38 years. The age profile shows 25 - 34 year-olds are particularly prominent (16.5%), while the 5 - 14 group is comparatively smaller (6.5%) than in Regional Qld. In the period since 2021, the 25 to 34 age group has grown from 14.3% to 16.5% of the population. Conversely, the 5 to 14 cohort has declined from 8.3% to 6.5% and the 45 to 54 group dropped from 13.4% to 12.2%.
Population forecasts for 2041 indicate substantial demographic changes for Labrador. The 25 to 34 cohort shows the strongest projected growth at 52%, adding 1,701 residents to reach 4,957. Meanwhile, the 15 to 24 cohort grows by a modest 8% (172 people).

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 — 344 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,643 at the 2021 Census → 19,757 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.
