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
Rosewood has an estimated 17,047 residents, up from 14,217 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,830 people, or 19.9%. Growth has averaged 3.9% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. 548 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 81.1% of that increase. Density is about 25 people per 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Rosewood stands at approximately 17,047 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,830 individuals (19.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the count was 14,217 people. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 16,825 in June 2025 alongside 548 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting density is 25 persons per square kilometer, which represents a spacious living environment. The area's 19.9% rate of growth since the 2021 census outpaced the national figure (9.3%) and the state average, positioning it as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 81.1% of the total population gains in recent times, though natural growth and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch for each SA2. For SA2 areas without this coverage, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are substituted. Because the state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch applies age cohort growth distributions matching the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data). Looking at upcoming demographic patterns, the area is set for exceptional growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of all statistical zones assessed by AreaSearch. Based on the most recent annual ERP figures, the population is projected to expand by 23,164 individuals by 2041, representing a total increase of 134.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,033 new dwellings have been approved in Rosewood over the past five years, an average of 206 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 174 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 217, 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
Rosewood records roughly 206 annual residential building approvals, with 1,033 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 199 during the current FY-26. An average of 2.8 new residents were added for every home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), pointing to healthy demand that underpins local property values. The average construction cost for these new dwellings is $298,000. Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $39.0 million during this financial year, indicating a healthy level of local business investment. Per capita building activity in Rosewood is 58.0% higher than in Greater Brisbane, providing purchasers with more options.
This rate of activity is also considerably above the national benchmark, pointing to high developer confidence in the area. The mix of new construction consists of 98.0% detached houses and 2.0% medium and high-density dwellings, which preserves the established low-density feel and emphasizes family homes for buyers wanting space. With approximately 67 people per residential approval, Rosewood exhibits the typical indicators of a growth corridor. Demographic forecasts point to an increase of 22,942 residents in Rosewood by 2041 (calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Should development continue at its current pace, residential construction may not keep up with population expansion, which could intensify competition among buyers and drive up prices.

8,124 residents of Rosewood are employed, from a labour force of 8,423. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 60.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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. 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 is evenly distributed between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of just 3.5%, and an estimated 10.9% job growth over the preceding year. In March 2026, there were 8,124 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.8% below the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%. However, the participation rate of 60.9% is much lower than the 70.4% recorded in Greater Brisbane. According to Census data, only 13.1% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction. Public administration & safety is highly concentrated in the area, with a share of employment that is 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented at 4.5% compared to the regional rate of 8.9%. Even though there are local job openings, a comparison of the Census working population against the local job count suggests that many residents travel outside the area to work. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 10.9% and the labor force grew by 10.1%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point drop in unemployment. During the same period, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2%, the labor force grow by 3.4%, and unemployment rise by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Rosewood. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry trends onto the Rosewood workforce suggests local employment would rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.5% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population projections).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Rosewood is $1,578 a week (about $82,000 a year), with median personal income at $759 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $57,423 a year against an average of $65,679. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
The latest postcode-level ATO statistics from AreaSearch for the 2023 financial year show that incomes in the Rosewood SA2 run slightly below the national norm, with a median of $57,423 and an average of $65,679. This compares to a median of $58,236 and an average of $72,799 in Greater Brisbane. Adjusting these figures for the 11.36% increase in the Wage Price Index since the 2023 financial year yields estimated current values of approximately $63,946 (median) and $73,140 (average) as of March 2026. The 2021 Census reveals that household, family, and individual incomes in Rosewood are modest, all sitting around the 40th percentile.
Looking at income distribution, the $1,500 - 2,999 weekly bracket includes 33.9% of the population (5,778 individuals), which matches the metropolitan average of 33.3% for the same bracket. After paying for housing, residents have 85.5% of their income remaining for other costs.
Frequently Asked Questions - Income
Rosewood had 4,429 occupied dwellings at the 2021 Census, 95% detached houses and 0% apartments. 40% are owned with a mortgage, 26% rented and 33% owned outright. At that Census the median rent was $300 a week and the median mortgage repayment $1,600 a month. Rent absorbs 19.0% of household income here and mortgage repayments 23.4%. Dwelling stock, tenure and housing costs are 2021 Census measures — the only source that counts dwellings at this boundary size.
Detail

Detail
Public transport data shows 24 active transit stops in Rosewood, consisting of both train stations and bus stops. These stops are serviced by 36 different routes, which together provide 1,062 weekly passenger trips. Transport accessibility is rated as limited, with the average distance to the nearest stop being 1563 meters. Because the area is primarily residential, most residents travel elsewhere for work, and private vehicles remain the main transport mode at 91%. Vehicle ownership averages 1.9 cars per home, which is above the regional average. A relatively low 13.1% of residents work from home (based on the 2021 Census, which may reflect COVID-19 conditions).
Service frequency averages 151 trips per day across all routes, which translates to approximately 44 weekly trips for each transport stop.
Frequently Asked Questions - Transport
Transport Stops Detail
63.1% of residents in Rosewood report no long-term health condition, a less healthy profile than 84% of areas nationally. 6.0% need daily assistance with core activities, and 51.9% hold private health cover. The standardised death rate runs at 6.0 per 1,000 residents. Health conditions, assistance needs and insurance are 2021 Census measures; the death rate comes from current ABS releases.

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 — 548 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,217 at the 2021 Census → 17,047 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.
