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.

Natural increase accounts for 51.8% of that increase. That puts 441 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 population of Leichhardt - One Mile is approximately 8,911 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 643 people (7.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 8,268 residents. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 8,911 alongside 12 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 440 persons per square kilometer, offering plenty of space per resident and room for future housing development. The 7.8% growth rate since the census sits within 1.5 percentage points of the national figure (9.3%), indicating solid growth characteristics.

The expansion was mostly driven by natural increase, which made up about 51.8% of the overall population rise in recent times, though overseas migration and interstate migration also contributed positively. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch for each SA2. For locations without this coverage and for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are employed. Because these state-level figures lack age bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth using proportions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Demographic modeling indicates that the district will experience population growth above the national median, gaining 1,573 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, which translates to a total increase of 17.6% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Leichhardt - One Mile

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

54 new dwellings have been approved in Leichhardt - One Mile over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below that longer-run average.

Detail

An average of roughly 10 new housing approvals have been registered annually in Leichhardt - One Mile, accumulating to 54 dwellings over the prior 5 financial years. During FY-26 so far, 3 approvals have been logged. With an average of 9.9 new residents per year for each completed dwelling during the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outpaces supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new properties show an average construction value of $255,000—below regional averages—providing more affordable choices for buyers. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $29.6 million have been registered during this financial year, pointing to robust local commercial investment.

Compared to Greater Brisbane, building activity in Leichhardt - One Mile is extremely quiet, sitting 89.0% below regional average per person. This low volume of new residential builds generally supports demand and values for existing properties, even though building approvals have risen lately. This level also falls below the national benchmark, highlighting the established profile of the community and pointing to possible planning constraints. Recent construction is made up of 75.0% standalone houses and 25.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the traditional low-density character and prioritizing family-oriented properties. An estimated 702 people in the area per dwelling approval underscores the calm, low-volume development setting. Projections indicate that Leichhardt - One Mile will grow by 1,573 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of homes may fall short of population gains, which could increase competition among buyers and underpin stronger property price growth.

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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,268 at the 2021 Census → 8,911 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (310031291). 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 Leichhardt - One Mile 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 Leichhardt - One Mile 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 Leichhardt - One Mile 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
