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
Redlynch has an estimated 15,013 residents, up from 13,784 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,229 people, or 8.9%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 482 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 49.3% of that increase. That puts 253 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 conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Redlynch is calculated to be approximately 15,013 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 1,229 individuals (8.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 13,784 people. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 14,877 and 482 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 252 persons per square kilometer, offering plenty of space per resident and opportunity for future expansion. The 8.9% growth rate of Redlynch since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (7.5%), establishing it as a local growth frontrunner.
International migration was the primary driver of this population growth, accounting for roughly 49.3% of the total gains during recent timeframes, though natural increase and interstate migration also made positive contributions. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 that utilize 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 regions lack this data, or for timeframes beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are applied. Because these state-level projections do not segment by age bracket, AreaSearch distributes growth across age groups using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, the population is projected to expand at a rate slightly below the median for non-metropolitan locations, with an expected increase of 1,821 residents by 2041 using recent annual ERP figures, representing an overall growth of 11.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
590 new dwellings have been approved in Redlynch over the past five years, an average of 118 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 91 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 90, broadly in line with 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
Annual residential approvals in Redlynch average approximately 118, yielding a cumulative total of 590 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 83 approvals have been logged. With an average ratio of 1.5 new residents per constructed dwelling over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the housing market appears well-balanced between demand and supply, fostering stable conditions. The average construction value for these new homes is $255,000, which sits below regional averages and provides relatively affordable entry points for buyers. Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $24.8 million this financial year, pointing to steady commercial building sector performance.
In comparison to the Rest of Qld, Redlynch displays a higher rate of new home approvals, tracking 16.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year timeframe, which helps preserve options for buyers while supporting existing property values. The composition of new developments is overwhelmingly detached houses at 98.0%, with attached dwellings representing only 2.0%, thereby maintaining the traditional low-density profile of the suburb and appealing to families prioritizing spacious living. Averaging 149 people per approval, Redlynch displays the characteristics of a growing area. According to population projections, Redlynch is set to add 1,685 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current building volumes suggest that residential supply will comfortably satisfy demand, maintaining positive conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces these projections.

8,424 residents of Redlynch are employed, from a labour force of 8,575. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 72.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,254, 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
Redlynch benefits from a qualified labor force with strong representation in vital services, alongside a low unemployment rate of 1.8%. As of March 2026, there are 8,424 employed residents. The local unemployment rate sits 2.2% below the Regional Qld average of 3.9%, and the participation rate is exceptionally high at 72.9% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that 15.7% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 health restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The community shows a strong concentration in health care & social assistance, where the employment share is 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector accounts for only 2.2% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 4.5% seen across Regional Qld. Comparing the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the immediate area are relatively scarce. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics indicates that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 2.0% and total employment fell by 2.7%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.7 percentage points. Over the same period, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future workforce demand in Redlynch. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local industry mix to model potential growth trends. On a national level, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries show highly divergent trends. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local workforce structure suggests Redlynch's employment count would rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population forecasts.

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 — 482 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,784 at the 2021 Census → 15,013 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.
