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
Wavell Heights has an estimated 11,237 residents, up from 10,344 at the 2021 Census — a change of 893 people, or 8.6%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 42.6% of that increase. That puts 3,139 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Wavell Heights is approximately 11,237 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 893 residents (8.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 10,344 individuals. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 11,227 along with 20 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 3,138 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all Australian areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The suburb's growth of 8.6% since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (8.0%), establishing it as a local growth leader.
The expansion was primarily fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 42.6% of the overall population rise, though interstate migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations omitted from this dataset, or for periods extending past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are adopted instead. Since these state-level figures lack age cohort divisions, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data) for each age group. Looking ahead, population expansion is projected to track slightly below the national median, with the suburb expected to grow by 644 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a long-term increase of 5.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
270 new dwellings have been approved in Wavell Heights over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 43 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, 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
Wavell Heights averages approximately 54 residential development approvals annually, totaling 270 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 45 approvals during the current FY-26 period. An average of 2.9 new residents were added for every home constructed during the FY-21 to FY-25 period, indicating robust demand that helps sustain property valuations. Newly approved residences carry an average construction value of $614,000, showing that developers are prioritizing the upscale, high-end segment. Furthermore, commercial approvals stand at just $794,000 for this financial year, showing very quiet commercial construction activity.
Compared to the broader Greater Brisbane region, construction activity in Wavell Heights is somewhat elevated, running 19.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period, which maintains supply options for buyers while reinforcing existing home values. Detached houses comprised 98.0% of recent builds, with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 2.0%, preserving the suburban layout of the neighborhood and its appeal to families looking for space. The suburb averages around 212 people for every approved dwelling, indicating a growing local market. Projecting forward, Wavell Heights is anticipated to add 634 new residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests that incoming housing supply will easily accommodate this demand, ensuring favorable buying conditions and potentially encouraging growth beyond current baseline forecasts.

7,238 residents of Wavell Heights are employed, from a labour force of 7,403. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 83.4%. 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 8,373, about 75% 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 workforce in Wavell Heights is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 2.2%, and an estimated job growth rate of 7.2% over the preceding year. There were 7,238 employed residents in March 2026, with the unemployment rate sitting 2.1% lower than the 4.3% recorded across Greater Brisbane. Furthermore, the participation rate of 83.4% is significantly higher than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 70.4%. Census records show that a substantial 25.6% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The suburb shows a high concentration of professional & technical workers, representing 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 4.1% of the local workforce, compared to 6.4% across Greater Brisbane. The comparison of the Census working population against resident workers suggests that this heavily residential suburb offers relatively few local jobs. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, both employment and the labor force expanded by 7.2%, keeping the overall unemployment rate stable. In comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand in Wavell Heights. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Weighting these projections against the specific employment structure of Wavell Heights suggests local employment could expand by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a simple illustrative extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 20 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,344 at the 2021 Census → 11,237 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 (302021034). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
