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
The Range - Allenstown has an estimated 8,129 residents, up from 7,989 at the 2021 Census — a change of 140 people, or 1.8%. That puts 1,478 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 The Range - Allenstown stands at approximately 8,129 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 140 residents (1.8%) from the 7,989 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 8,125 from June 2025 alongside 16 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 1,478 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national average benchmarked by AreaSearch. This growth was almost entirely supported by incoming overseas migration, which served as the exclusive driver of population increases recently.
Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are adopted instead. Because the state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth across age groups based on the proportional weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking at long-term demographic patterns, the locality is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the median for non-metropolitan Australia, adding 690 persons by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, which translates to an overall rise of 8.4% over 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
73 new dwellings have been approved in The Range - Allenstown over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, running ahead of 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
Approximately 14 new residential approvals are registered annually in The Range - Allenstown, contributing to 73 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 17 approvals documented. Since the population contracted over the recent timeframe, the volume of housing supply has remained sufficient for local demand, yielding a balanced market with healthy options for buyers, while newly constructed dwellings average a value of $353,000. Additionally, commercial approvals totaling $10.6 million have been logged during this financial year, pointing to a steady rate of commercial development.
When compared to the Rest of Qld, building activity in The Range - Allenstown is significantly subdued, running 53.0% below regional average per person. This constraint on new construction generally aids in reinforcing demand and values for pre-existing properties. This volume is likewise below the national average, showcasing the established nature of the locality and hinting at prospective planning restrictions. Recent residential building permits consist of 31.0% detached dwellings and 69.0% medium and high-density options. Focusing on higher-density housing delivers more attainable price points and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct departure from the current housing stock, which is 81.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of developable land and responding to changing lifestyle choices and affordability constraints. Averaging 1697 people per residential approval, The Range - Allenstown exhibits characteristics of a highly mature market. Projecting forward, The Range - Allenstown is anticipated to expand by 686 residents through to 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of new housing could fall short of population gains, which may intensify competition among buyers and foster upward price trends.

The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The region displays a major concentration of workers in health care & social assistance, reaching a level 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, construction plays a smaller role locally, employing 7.0% of the workforce compared to 10.1% across the region. A ratio of 0.7 workers for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher-than-average availability of local jobs. Analyzing data from SALM and the ABS, AreaSearch notes that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 5.0% while total employment fell by 2.6%, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 2.3 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1%, labour force expansion of 0.3%, and a rise in unemployment of 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends within The Range - Allenstown. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary greatly by sector.

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 — 16 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,989 at the 2021 Census → 8,129 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.
