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 Redcliffe

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Redcliffe has an estimated 11,306 residents, up from 10,434 at the 2021 Census — a change of 872 people, or 8.4%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. 263 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 53.4% of that increase. That puts 2,705 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

As of Aug 2026, Redcliffe maintains an estimated population of approximately 11,306 according to assessments by AreaSearch. Compared to the 10,434 residents documented in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 872 individuals, or an expansion of 8.4%. These demographic updates stem from an ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,134 recorded in June 2025 alongside 263 validated new addresses registered following the Census. With 2,704 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the upper quartile for population density across all Australian areas assessed by AreaSearch. The community's 8.4% post-census rise tracks closely with the broader SA3 figure of 9.0%, falling just 0.6 percentage points behind and confirming solid underlying growth dynamics.

The vast majority of these recent resident additions were driven by overseas migration, which made up around 53.4% of total local demographic gains. SA2 projections utilized by AreaSearch originate from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as its baseline. Whenever specific SA2 data is unavailable or figures extend past 2032, models incorporate the Queensland State Government's 2023 release based on 2021 numbers. Because these state forecasts lack breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch integrates proportional age weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (2022 baseline). Driven by these anticipated demographic patterns, Redcliffe is projected to experience top-tier expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide. Anchored by the most recent annual ERP statistics, the population is slated to grow by 4,439 individuals by 2041, representing a cumulative 16-year increase of 37.7%.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Redcliffe

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

695 new dwellings have been approved in Redcliffe over the past five years, an average of 139 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 138 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 12% 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

Residential construction in Redcliffe has seen an average of roughly 139 new dwellings sanctioned each year, amounting to 695 residential approvals across the preceding 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the area added an average of only 0.8 incoming residents per completed residence annually, indicating that dwelling additions are matching or outpacing demand, expanding housing choice, and providing headroom for growth beyond current projections. The average anticipated construction value for these new dwellings stands at $472,000. Alongside home construction, commercial approvals have reached $32.5 million during this financial year, demonstrating robust momentum in local commercial development.

Per capita building volumes in Redcliffe outpace Greater Brisbane by 31.0% across the 5 year period, ensuring sustained buyer choice while supporting baseline property demand. This building pace also stands considerably above the national benchmark, reflecting strong developer appetite. In terms of composition, detached dwellings make up 12.0% of recent approvals, while townhouses and apartments account for 88.0%. This shift toward higher-density living offers accessible entry points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also marks a substantial transition from the historical built form (where standalone houses comprise 52.0%), highlighting shrinking greenfield capacity alongside rising demand for compact, affordable living. The current ratio of approximately 114 people per dwelling approval points toward an expanding local market. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Redcliffe is anticipated to add 4,267 new inhabitants by 2041. While ongoing residential development continues to keep pace with these forward estimates, incoming purchasers could encounter greater market competition as the local community continues to expand.

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 — 263 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,434 at the 2021 Census → 11,306 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (313051379). 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 Redcliffe 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 Redcliffe 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 Redcliffe 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
