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 Weipa

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

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

Demographic analysis from AreaSearch indicates that Weipa has a population of approximately 4,299 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 4,097 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 202 people (4.9%). This estimate is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,297 as of June 2025 alongside 7 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. With a density of 272 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living room alongside capacity for future residential expansion. Outpacing the broader SA4 region (3.5%), Weipa's 4.9% increase since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner.

Recent demographic gains have been largely propelled by natural growth, which generated around 79.1% of the overall population additions. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to 2022 as the base year) are utilised by AreaSearch for local SA2 modeling. For timeframes beyond 2032 or areas omitted from that release, Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are incorporated. Because state models lack age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings sourced from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) across each demographic segment. These shifting demographics point to future expansion tracking just under the median for non-metropolitan territories, with Weipa projected to add 158 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP population statistics, equating to an overall rise of 3.6% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Weipa

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

41 new dwellings have been approved in Weipa over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential building approvals in Weipa have tracked at approximately 8 new homes annually, amounting to 41 homes across the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26 over the past 5 financial years, an average of 3.8 new residents arrived per dwelling built, indicating that structural demand is substantially outstripping new supply and placing upward pressure on property prices and buyer competition. Newly approved dwellings feature an average expected construction cost of $672,000, which sits slightly above the regional baseline and points to a focus on higher-grade builds. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $9.8 million this financial year, reflecting a moderate tempo of non-residential development.

Relative to Rest of Qld, per-capita dwelling approval rates in Weipa sit at roughly two-thirds, placing the locality in the 42nd percentile of all areas evaluated across the country. This dynamic constrains stock availability for purchasers while bolstering demand across established residences, even though construction momentum has quickened in recent periods. The overall development rate remains under the national norm, mirroring the community's established status and potential town planning constraints. Of all new residential construction, 75.0% consists of freestanding houses and 25.0% comprises townhouses or apartments, preserving the low-density profile with spacious family-oriented dwellings. The calculated ratio of 471 people per dwelling approval underlines this subdued, low-volume development environment. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Weipa is projected to expand by 156 residents by 2041. Under current construction trajectories, incoming residential supply appears well placed to satisfy local requirements, creating favourable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population growth beyond current projections.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Weipa

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,780 residents of Weipa are employed, from a labour force of 2,809. Unemployment sits at 1.0%, with participation at 86.8%. 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

The local labour market features a highly capable workforce with prominent representation across industrial and manufacturing sectors, supporting a low unemployment rate of 1.0%. As of March 2026, 2,780 residents are employed. The local jobless rate sits 2.9% below Regional Qld's 3.9%, while the labor force participation rate of 86.8% significantly exceeds the 64.2% recorded for Regional Qld. Census records show that only 3.3% of workers operated from home, a metric that should be considered alongside Covid-19 lockdown impacts. Primary employment sectors for residents encompass mining, health care & social assistance, alongside education & training.

Mining represents a key economic specialization, capturing an employment concentration 11.3 times the regional average. Conversely, construction accounts for only 3.6% of local employment, trailing Regional Qld's 10.1%. Although local positions exist, comparisons between Census resident worker counts and local job figures suggest that a considerable share of the workforce commutes outside the area for employment. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the year to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 0.9% and total employment dropped by 1.0%, while the unemployment level held steady. In contrast, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the workforce grow by 0.3%, and unemployment lift by 0.1 percentage points. Long-term baseline guidance is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Applying these industry weightings to Weipa's specific economic profile suggests potential local employment expansion of 4.5% over five years and 11.2% over ten years (noting this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 Aug 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 (315011403). 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 Weipa 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 Weipa 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 Weipa 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 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.
