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.

Samford Valley has an estimated 13,266 residents, up from 12,385 at the 2021 Census — a change of 881 people, or 7.1%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. 258 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 58.8% of that increase. Density is about 80 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
Samford Valley had a population of 13,266 in May 2026, according to analysis by AreaSearch. In the 2021 Census, the recorded population stood at 12,385 residents, indicating an addition of 881 individuals or a 7.1% rise. This update is calculated using ABS calculations of 13,239 residents in June 2025 alongside 258 validated new addresses that were logged post-census. The resulting population density is 79 persons per square kilometer, which represents significant physical space per resident and opportunity for growth. Over the last ten years, the location has shown consistent demographic expansion with a 1.1% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3 region.
Overseas migration was the primary contributor to these gains, accounting for roughly 58.8% of the net growth, though positive contributions were also recorded from natural growth and interstate migration. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data and for timeframes after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are used. Because the Queensland projections do not contain age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections with a 2022 baseline. Future projections place the area in the lower quartile of growth compared to other Australian statistical divisions, with expectations to add 403 residents by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, which represents a total increase of 2.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
321 new dwellings have been approved in Samford Valley over the past five years, an average of 64 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 77% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, well below 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
In Samford Valley, dwelling approvals have run at a yearly average of 64, representing 321 residential properties over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 43 approvals registered. For every new home built between FY-21 and FY-25, 2.2 people per year moved to the area, indicating solid demand that helps maintain property values, while new dwellings carry a mean expected construction cost of $406,000—slightly higher than the broader region—which indicates a preference for premium construction. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $14.0 million during this financial year, showing moderate commercial activity.
Relative to Greater Brisbane, per capita development in Samford Valley is slightly elevated, running 20.0% above the regional average over the 5 year period, which offers choice to buyers while supporting local property values, even though construction levels have decelerated recently. The composition of new construction is 77.0% detached houses and 23.0% medium and high-density housing, which preserves the traditional low-density neighborhood layout favored by families. This contrasts with the current housing mix of 98.0% houses, showing that developable land is becoming scarcer and reflecting changes in buyer tastes and budget constraints. The area is transitioning, as shown by a ratio of roughly 314 people per approval. Demographic projections indicate Samford Valley will add 376 citizens by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests housing supply is positioned to satisfy this demand, which should benefit buyers and potentially support faster population growth than currently expected.

The centre will have direct frontage to South Pine Road in Everton Hills, serving the surrounding Hills District community in the City of Moreton Bay.
7,593 residents of Samford Valley are employed, from a labour force of 7,759. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 70.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,784, about 81% 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 labor force is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 2.1%, and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, working residents numbered 7,593, with an unemployment rate that is 2.2% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, and participation in the labor force matching the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 70.4%. Census records show that 33.4% of residents worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. The top industries for local workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and construction.
Professional & technical services are especially prominent, employing residents at 1.3 times the regional rate. Conversely, manufacturing is underrepresented, employing 4.2% of the workforce compared to the regional figure of 6.4%. Local employment options appear limited in this mostly residential community, as shown by comparing the census count of local workers against the total working resident population. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 0.2% and the labor force expand by 0.4%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same period in Greater Brisbane, employment rose by 3.2%, the labor force expanded by 3.4%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context regarding long-term labor demand in Samford Valley. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future trends. Across the nation, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variation across different industries. Applying these sector-specific rates to the local employment structure indicates that employment in Samford Valley could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not account for local population dynamics.

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 — 258 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,385 at the 2021 Census → 13,266 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 (314011387). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
