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.

Detail
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Upper Kedron - Ferny Grove stands at approximately 13,040 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,359 residents (11.6%) relative to the 11,681 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 12,833 alongside 281 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The population density is recorded at 987 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with the average across comparative locations. The 11.6% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (8.1%) and the SA4 region, positioning the locality as a leader in growth within the broader district.
This upward trend was chiefly propelled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 40.9% of the total population rise, though interstate migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 area. In instances where SA2 data is unavailable or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are adopted. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings across age groups based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data). Looking ahead, the population is projected to rise at a pace slightly under the national median for statistical areas, with a forecasted increase of 1,489 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to a overall rise of 9.8% over the 16 years.

As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,673, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.4% below the 4.3% recorded in Greater Brisbane, while labor force participation is generally comparable to the Greater Brisbane rate of 70.4%.

Conversely, manufacturing is less common, accounting for 2.9% of workers compared to the regional benchmark of 6.4%.

Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2% and the labor force expand by 3.4%, with its unemployment rate rising by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Upper Kedron - Ferny Grove. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these national sector trends to the local employment mix suggests Upper Kedron - Ferny Grove's employment could grow by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted extrapolation and does not factor in 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 — 281 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,681 at the 2021 Census → 13,040 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.
