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.

Point Vernon has an estimated 5,987 residents, up from 5,718 at the 2021 Census — a change of 269 people, or 4.7%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. 335 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,234 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
Point Vernon records an estimated resident community of approximately 5,987 as at Aug 2026 according to AreaSearch figures. When compared with the 2021 Census tally of 5,718 people, this represents an expansion of 269 people (4.7%). Derivation of this shift relies upon the ABS estimated resident population count of 5,985 recorded in June 2025 alongside 335 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 1,234 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density sits higher than the typical national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch. Inflow from interstate migrants formed the primary catalyst for local demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 79.1% of recent net additions.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are utilised by AreaSearch for SA2 regions. In instances outside this coverage or extending past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2023 (utilising 2021 numbers) is applied instead. Because state-level forecasts lack age cohort distributions, AreaSearch allocates proportional cohort weighting derived from ABS Greater Capital Region data (issued in 2023 from 2022 benchmarks). Projections place the area within the bottom quartile of regional Australian growth trajectories, with expectations of 93 additional persons by 2041 relative to prevailing annual ERP statistics, equating to an overall rise of 1.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
212 new dwellings have been approved in Point Vernon over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 42 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 90% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential building approvals in Point Vernon have tracked at approximately 42 dwellings, totaling 212 homes authorized over the recent 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because the area averaged only 1 new residents per year per dwelling constructed across those 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), current development keeps pace with or surpasses demand, providing broad choices for buyers and building headroom for future expansion beyond baseline expectations. Furthermore, an average construction value of $450,000 per dwelling sits beneath regional benchmarks, presenting cost-effective opportunities for purchasers. Reflecting the overwhelmingly residential character of the neighborhood, only $215,000 in commercial building authorizations occurred in the current financial year.
Relative to Rest of Qld, per-capita building volume in Point Vernon is roughly half as high, placing the suburb at the 77th percentile nationally among assessed locations. Standalone houses account for 90.0% of recent construction, while townhouses or apartments constitute 10.0%, reinforcing a suburban profile centered around spacious single-family dwellings. With a ratio of approximately 176 people per dwelling approval, the neighborhood maintains low-density development traits. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Point Vernon is projected to gain 91 residents by 2041. Prevailing building activity appears sufficient to cater to this anticipated demand, maintaining buyer-friendly conditions and facilitating growth potential ahead of official forecasts.

2,404 residents of Point Vernon are employed, from a labour force of 2,520. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 49.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,963, about 83% 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
Point Vernon maintains a diverse labour market covering professional and manual vocations, highlighted by strong representation across essential services, a 4.6% jobless rate, and an estimated annual employment increase of 8.0%. As of March 2026, employed locals number 2,404, while local unemployment sits 0.7% higher than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, alongside a participation rate of 49.4% that trails the regional benchmark of 64.2%. Only 8.6% of residents reported working from home during the Census, though pandemic-related lockdown measures influenced these findings. The primary employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training.
Healthcare and social assistance exhibits particular prominence, capturing an employment concentration 1.6 times that of the broader region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for merely 0.9% of the local workforce, trailing Regional Qld's 4.5%. Comparing Census working population counts against resident totals indicates that the community is predominantly residential with limited on-site employment generation. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, local jobs expanded by 8.0% alongside a 5.3% increase in the total labour force, driving down the jobless rate by 2.4 percentage points. By contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% employment gain, a 0.3% increase in the labour pool, and a 0.1 percentage point climb in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide an outlook on future local demand. Across five-year and ten-year horizons, Australian jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though sectoral differences are substantial. Applying these industry growth rates to Point Vernon's specific workforce profile yields an estimated local employment uplift of 7.1% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (representing an unadjusted weighted projection for demonstration purposes that excludes localized population factors).

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 — 335 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,718 at the 2021 Census → 5,987 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 Aug 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.
