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 Narangba

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Narangba has an estimated 24,559 residents, up from 20,914 at the 2021 Census — a change of 3,645 people, or 17.4%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 1,035 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 55.3% of that increase. That puts 651 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 by AreaSearch, the population of Narangba stands at approximately 24,559 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 3,645 people (17.4%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 20,914 residents. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 23,657 in June 2025 and 1,035 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The density of the area is 651 persons per square kilometer, which leaves plenty of open space and opportunity for expansion. Narangba's 17.4% growth rate since the 2021 census is higher than both the national average (9.3%) and the state average, positioning it as a local growth hub.

Interstate migration was the primary contributor to this expansion, accounting for roughly 55.3% of the overall population rise, although natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In instances where these are unavailable, or for timeframes beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 numbers are substituted. Because the Queensland projections do not detail specific age brackets, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings proportionally based on the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 data) for individual age groups. Future demographic expectations indicate that Narangba is positioned within the top quartile of Australian statistical areas for growth, with a projected increase of 6,235 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 21.7% over the 16 years.

That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Development approvals in Narangba average about 239 dwellings annually, representing a total of 1,195 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 302 approvals have been documented so far. An average gain of 2.2 new residents per built dwelling was recorded over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating healthy demand that bolsters local property values. The average construction cost for these new homes is $253,000, which is below the regional benchmark and points to relatively affordable choices for buyers. Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $37.1 million this financial year, demonstrating solid commercial investment activity.

Compared with Greater Brisbane, Narangba shows approximately three-quarters of the per capita construction volume, but it sits in the 85th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide. This level of building is significantly higher than the national standard, demonstrating strong builder confidence in the local market. Standalone houses represent 93.0% of new residential projects, while apartments or townhouses account for 7.0%, reinforcing the established low-density feel of the neighborhood with a focus on family-oriented properties. A ratio of roughly 111 people per dwelling approval characterizes Narangba as an expanding residential hub.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Narangba

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

13,549 residents of Narangba are employed, from a labour force of 13,829. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 75.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 20,539, about 84% 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

Narangba possesses a qualified labour force, with significant representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and estimated employment growth of 4.8% over the prior year. In March 2026, 13,549 residents were employed. The local unemployment rate is 2.3% lower than the Greater Brisbane level of 4.3%, and the workforce participation rate is remarkably high at 75.7%, compared with 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Based on Census data, a moderate 17.1% of employees worked from home, although this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.

Construction shows a high level of local specialization, with an employment share 1.4 times greater than the regional standard. In contrast, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, making up 5.3% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 8.9%. Because the area is mostly residential, local employment opportunities appear limited based on the comparison of Census working population to resident population. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12-month period, employment rose by 4.8% while the labor force expanded by 5.0%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, alongside a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand patterns in Narangba. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these national industry trends to the Narangba workforce suggests local employment would rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local population projections).

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 — 1,035 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,914 at the 2021 Census → 24,559 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 (313041375). 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 Narangba 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 Narangba 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 Narangba 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 (Aug 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.
