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 Wilsonton

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Wilsonton has an estimated 14,669 residents, up from 14,112 at the 2021 Census — a change of 557 people, or 3.9%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 188 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 775 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 demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident population of Wilsonton stands at roughly 14,669 as of Aug 2026. This represents a net expansion of 557 people (3.9%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 14,112 people. These figures are derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 14,669 recorded as of June 2025, alongside 188 validated new addresses added following the Census. Settlement density sits at 774 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked across comparable territories by AreaSearch. Inbound overseas migration formed the core catalyst for demographic expansion, generating around 87.9% of total inbound gains over recent periods.

Projections for each SA2 region rely on modeling published by the ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as its baseline. When regional coverage is absent or extends beyond 2032, forecasts incorporate Queensland State Government SA2 releases from 2023 that utilize 2021 baselines. Because state figures lack age-specific segmentations, proportional distributions matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) are applied across cohorts. Long-term trajectories point toward lower quartile growth compared to non-metropolitan benchmarks nationally, projecting an increase of 366 persons by 2041 under prevailing ERP figures, which equals an overall rise of 2.5% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Wilsonton

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

149 new dwellings have been approved in Wilsonton over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. 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 Wilsonton have tracked at approximately 29 new dwellings each year, totaling 149 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. With an inflow rate averaging 3 people per year per completed home between FY-22 and FY-26 over the past 5 financial years, structural supply continues to fall short of local demand. This shortfall typically intensifies buyer competition and drives upward price movement, even as average dwelling construction values remain accessible at $378,000, sitting beneath broader regional benchmarks. Concurrently, non-residential activity has gathered pace, demonstrated by $50.7 million in commercial approvals recorded this financial year.

Compared against Rest of Qld, construction volumes across Wilsonton track 64.0% below regional average per person. This constrained pipeline of additional dwellings commonly bolsters valuation levels and competition across established housing stock. Local output sits beneath national benchmarks as well, illustrating the mature character of the suburb and pointing to possible planning constraints. Detached houses account for 70.0% of approved construction, while medium and high-density housing makes up 30.0%, indicating an increasing presence of multi-unit typologies that widen buyer choices from classic family properties to cost-effective alternatives. An average ratio of 575 people per approved dwelling underscores the suburb's subdued building climate. Demographic projections indicate that Wilsonton will add 366 residents out to 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update. If construction continues at current paces, forthcoming residential supply is positioned to satisfy baseline demand, creating favorable market conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling expansion above official demographic forecasts.

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 — 188 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,112 at the 2021 Census → 14,669 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 (317011459). 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 Wilsonton 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 Wilsonton 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 Wilsonton 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 (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 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 Sep 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.
