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.

Reedy Creek - Andrews has an estimated 9,610 residents, up from 8,810 at the 2021 Census — a change of 800 people, or 9.1%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. 128 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 66.4% of that increase. That puts 1,188 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 Reedy Creek - Andrews is approximately 9,610 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 800 people (9.1%) from the 8,810 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This growth is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 9,610 combined with 128 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 1,187 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with the typical averages of other studied locations. The 9.1% expansion rate of Reedy Creek - Andrews since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region's growth of 6.9%, establishing the suburb as a local growth leader.
The primary driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 66.4% of the total demographic gains, though all other components including natural increase and interstate relocation also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. In cases where these projections are unavailable, or for timeframes past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections from 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Looking ahead, regional areas outside capital cities are anticipated to experience above-median population growth, with this specific locality projected to add 1,817 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to a total growth rate of 18.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
111 new dwellings have been approved in Reedy Creek - Andrews over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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
Reedy Creek - Andrews has averaged approximately 22 residential development approvals annually, totaling 111 home approvals over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 17 during the current FY-26 period. With an average of 7.4 new residents added per built dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the volume of new supply falls significantly short of demand, typically intensifying buyer competition and putting upward pressure on prices, while new dwellings average a construction value of $617,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end, premium housing.
Additionally, commercial approvals totaling $6.5 million have been logged in the current financial year, which highlights the predominantly residential nature of the locality. Per capita construction rates in Reedy Creek - Andrews are comparable to the Rest of Qld, aligning with broader regional trends to support market equilibrium, even though building activity has quickened of late. However, this level remains below the national average, suggesting a mature market that may face geographical or planning limits on development. Furthermore, all recent building activity has consisted of standalone houses, preserving the suburban environment dominated by family residences suited to buyers looking for larger properties. Developers are building detached homes at a rate higher than the historical baseline of 73.0% recorded at the Census, indicating sustained demand for traditional houses despite overall densification trends. A ratio of approximately 253 people per approval characterizes Reedy Creek - Andrews as a market in transition. According to demographic projections based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Reedy Creek - Andrews is set to add 1,817 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, the addition of new housing may fail to match this population expansion, potentially leading to increased rivalry among buyers and fostering stronger appreciation in home values.

5,608 residents of Reedy Creek - Andrews are employed, from a labour force of 5,705. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 75.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,671, about 80% 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
The local workforce in Reedy Creek - Andrews is highly skilled, showing strong representation in key service sectors alongside a low unemployment rate of 1.7% and estimated job growth of 3.6% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 5,608 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate sits 2.2% lower than the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, while the labor participation rate of 75.0% is substantially higher than the Regional Qld average of 64.3%. Census data indicates a moderate 16.5% of working residents operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The principal industries employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. There is a notable concentration of employment in professional & technical services, which stands at 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector accounts for only 0.4% of the local workforce, compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. The comparison between the Census working population and resident population suggests that this predominantly residential suburb offers relatively few local jobs. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch indicates that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 3.6% and the labor force expanded by 3.3%, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 0.3 percentage points. This performance outpaced Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be understood further by examining Jobs and Skills Australia's national forecasts from May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate future job trends. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies widely by sector. Applying these sectoral trends to the local employment structure suggests that employment in Reedy Creek - Andrews could grow by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate 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 — 128 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,810 at the 2021 Census → 9,610 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 (309051245). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
