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
Wynnum has an estimated 15,615 residents, up from 14,502 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,113 people, or 7.7%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 229 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 79.3% of that increase. That puts 2,547 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Wynnum is estimated at 15,615 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,113 individuals (7.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 14,502 residents. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 15,505 in June 2025 and 229 validated new addresses recorded after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,547 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The 7.7% population expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (7.1%), establishing the suburb as a primary growth center.
The main driver of this growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 79.3% of the total population increase during recent periods, although other factors such as interstate migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, which use 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 localities omitted from this dataset, as well as all projections beyond 2032, the Queensland State Government projections from 2023 (based on 2021 data) are used. Because the Queensland state projections do not include age group distributions, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using the proportions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 data. Future demographic forecasts indicate that the area will experience population growth above the national median, with an expected increase of 3,085 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, which translates to a total expansion of 19.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
432 new dwellings have been approved in Wynnum over the past five years, an average of 86 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 71 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 41% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, well below 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
Wynnum records approximately 86 residential development approvals annually, with a total of 432 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 25 approvals registered during FY-26. Over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the local population grew by an average of 2.1 people for every new home built, indicating strong demand that helps sustain local property values. Newly constructed homes carry an average estimated building cost of $411,000, which is moderately higher than the regional average, suggesting a focus on higher-quality residential projects.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $5.3 million during this financial year, which highlights the predominantly residential character of the suburb. In comparison to the Greater Brisbane region, building activity in Wynnum is moderately higher, running at 33.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which provides buyers with options while supporting local real estate values, even though construction volumes have slowed down in recent times. Newly approved housing projects consist of 41.0% freestanding houses and 59.0% townhouses or multi-unit dwellings. This shift toward medium and high-density housing options offers more accessible purchase points and appeals to buyers looking to downsize, investors, and those entering the market for the first time. This represents a major departure from the existing housing stock, where standalone houses currently make up 71.0% of homes, reflecting a shortage of available development land alongside changing buyer preferences and budget constraints. With a ratio of approximately 230 residents for every approved dwelling, Wynnum is an evolving market. Looking forward, the population of Wynnum is projected to grow by 2,975 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Although local construction activity is keeping pace with these growth projections, purchasers may face increased competition as the local population expands.

Wynnum, Manly and Lota Foreshores Master Plan
A 20-year strategic master plan led by Brisbane City Council to renew and rejuvenate the bayside foreshore stretching from Wynnum Creek through to Lota. The plan aims to protect and enhance the heritage values and unique natural features of the foreshore, including Ramsar-listed wetlands, while improving connectivity and creating more opportunities for recreation, relaxation and active healthy lifestyles. Suggestions raised through the initial community engagement included refurbishing public toilets near the Wynnum Wading Pool and Bayside Park, addressing sludge and algae build up, separating cyclist and pedestrian pathways, and revitalising the derelict Greene Park building.Following the Stage 1 community engagement which attracted more than 1,400 responses, Council is preparing the draft master plan for further public consultation, with finalisation scheduled for late 2026.

9,239 residents of Wynnum are employed, from a labour force of 9,581. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 73.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,123, about 84% 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 Wynnum is highly educated, with a strong representation of workers in essential services, a low unemployment rate of 3.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.8% over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 9,239, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.8% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%. The participation rate in the local labor force is 73.3%, which is slightly higher than the Greater Brisbane level of 70.4%. According to self-reported Census data, a moderate proportion of residents (23.4%) worked from home, although these figures may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The suburb exhibits a high concentration of jobs in transport, postal & warehousing, with its employment share in this sector reaching 1.2 times the metropolitan average. In contrast, health care & social assistance is less represented locally at 14.4% compared to the regional benchmark of 16.1%. Because it is a mostly residential suburb, local employment opportunities appear limited, as shown by the imbalance between the census-recorded local workforce and the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the area experienced a 3.8% increase in employment alongside a 4.1% expansion of the labor force over the 12-month period, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point rise in the local unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% increase in employment and a 3.4% rise in the labor force, with its unemployment rate ticking up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future employment trends in Wynnum. These five and ten-year national projections have been applied to the local workforce composition to model future employment paths. Locally, applying these industry-specific projections suggests employment will grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, although national forecasts vary significantly by sector. This calculation is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local population growth 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 — 229 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,502 at the 2021 Census → 15,615 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.
