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 Sherwood

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Sherwood has an estimated 7,098 residents, up from 6,452 at the 2021 Census — a change of 646 people, or 10.0%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 74.3% of that increase. That puts 3,113 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Sherwood is approximately 7,098 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 646 people (10.0%) from the 6,452 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 7,050, combined with 96 validated new addresses identified since the Census. With a density of 3,113 persons per square kilometer, the suburb ranks in the top quartile of national areas analyzed. The 10.0% growth rate since the 2021 Census outpaced the broader SA4 region (8.3%) as well as the national average, making the area a regional leader in expansion.

The population rise was primarily driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 74.3% of the overall increase, though all other contributors, such as interstate migration and natural growth, remained positive. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 area. For locations not covered by this dataset or for projections extending past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are applied. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth across age cohorts using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Future demographic trends indicate Sherwood will experience population growth slightly below the national median. Based on the most recent annual ERP data, the area is projected to add 680 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 8.9% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Sherwood

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

127 new dwellings have been approved in Sherwood over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 50% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail

Sherwood averages approximately 25 dwelling approvals annually, with 127 residential building approvals recorded over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 20 approvals documented so far in FY-26. Because an average of 4.7 new residents arrived per completed home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, leading to heightened buyer competition and upward price pressure. Approved dwellings average $415,000 in value, which is above regional benchmarks and indicates a focus on premium construction. Additionally, $2.2 million in commercial developments have been approved in the current financial year, highlighting the area's strong residential orientation.

Per capita construction activity in Sherwood is 18.0% lower than in Greater Brisbane, placing the area in the 50th percentile of national locations. Newly approved construction is split equally between 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% apartments or townhouses. The emphasis on higher-density projects provides more affordable purchasing options and caters to downsizers, first-home buyers, and property investors. A ratio of approximately 455 people per approved dwelling indicates a mature real estate market. Future projections indicate Sherwood's population will expand by 632 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current levels of construction appear aligned with future requirements, supporting stable market conditions and preventing sharp price escalations.

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 — 96 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,452 at the 2021 Census → 7,098 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 (304031095). 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
