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
Weipa has an estimated 4,299 residents, up from 4,097 at the 2021 Census — a change of 202 people, or 4.9%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. That puts 272 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 statistical assessments by AreaSearch, Weipa had a population of approximately 4,299 in May 2026. Comparing this to the 4,097 residents recorded during the 2021 Census, the community expanded by 202 individuals, or 4.9%. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,297 alongside 6 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The local population density stands at 272 persons per square kilometer, indicating low crowding and room for expansion. With a 4.9% growth rate relative to the 2021 Census, Weipa outpaced the broader SA4 region, which grew by 3.5%, establishing the area as a regional growth leader.
This population rise was mostly fueled by natural increase, which represented roughly 79.1% of the overall population growth in recent times. Projections published in 2024 using a 2022 baseline from the ABS and Geoscience Australia are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For locations lacking this data, and for any projections past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections from 2023 based on 2021 records are substituted. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales growth weightings across age groups to match the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections that use a 2022 baseline. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the area is projected to experience population growth slightly under the median for national regional locations, expanding by 172 individuals by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, which translates to a total increase of 4.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
37 new dwellings have been approved in Weipa over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That places the area in the 53rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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
Approximately 7 residential building approvals are granted annually in Weipa, with a total of 37 dwellings approved across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 6 approvals recorded in FY-26 so far. With an average of 4.2 new inhabitants per finished dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, local demand outstrips new construction, a trend that typically drives up property prices and buyer competition. Developers are targeting the higher-end market segment, as indicated by a mean new home construction value of $623,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals total $9.8 million for the current financial year, representing a steady level of business construction.
Weipa has approximately two-thirds the per-capita rate of new dwelling approvals seen in the Rest of Qld and ranks in the 54th percentile of all national locations, even though building activity has risen recently. This performance lags the national average, reflecting a mature market and potential planning barriers. Standalone houses make up 86.0% of the new construction, while medium and high-density units account for 14.0%, reinforcing the low-density, family-oriented profile of the suburb. This preference for detached homes is stronger than the existing housing profile of 64.0% at the Census, demonstrating that demand for detached family properties remains high despite density trends. There are roughly 327 people per residential approval, highlighting the low-density nature of the market. Based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Weipa is expected to add 170 new residents by 2041. The current pace of home building should easily accommodate this growth, offering favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling expansion beyond current demographic forecasts.

2,780 residents of Weipa are employed, from a labour force of 2,809. Unemployment sits at 1.0%, with participation at 86.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,924, about 91% 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
Weipa features an educated workforce with a heavy concentration in industrial and manufacturing jobs, and a low unemployment rate of 1.0%. Job holders numbered 2,780 in March 2026, while the local unemployment rate was 2.9% lower than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld. Furthermore, the labor participation rate of 86.4% is significantly higher than the Regional Qld average of 64.3%. Census data indicates that only 3.3% of workers operated from home, though this figure may have been affected by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are mining, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The mining sector is especially prominent, with local employment concentration reaching 11.3 times the regional average. Conversely, construction jobs are underrepresented, accounting for only 3.6% of the workforce compared to 10.1% across the region. A comparison of Census local employment figures against the overall resident count suggests that a significant portion of the workforce travels outside Weipa for their jobs. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the workforce contracted by 0.9% and total employment fell by 1.0% over the 12-month period, keeping unemployment steady. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National job projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand in Weipa. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. While nationwide employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to Weipa's specific workforce profile indicates local employment could grow by 4.5% over five years and 11.2% over ten years, although this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustration rather than a local population projection.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,097 at the 2021 Census → 4,299 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.
