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 Wynnum

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Wynnum has an estimated 15,629 residents, up from 14,502 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,127 people, or 7.8%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 250 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 79.3% of that increase. That puts 2,550 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 population of Wynnum stands at approximately 15,629 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,127 people (7.8%) compared to the 14,502 people counted in the 2021 Census. This adjustment incorporates the ABS estimated resident population figure of 15,505 recorded as of June 2025, alongside 250 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 2,549 persons per square kilometer, Wynnum's density places it within the top quartile among nationwide regions reviewed by AreaSearch. Its 7.8% rate of expansion since the 2021 census outstripped the broader SA3 area rate of 7.2%, establishing the locality as a regional leader in expansion.

Inbound overseas migration served as the primary catalyst, generating roughly 79.3% of total population additions in recent times, though natural growth and interstate arrivals also contributed positively. Projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 (benchmarked to 2022) by the ABS/Geoscience Australia are utilised by AreaSearch. For intervals beyond 2032 or areas omitted from that release, Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 (utilising 2021 baseline figures) are adopted instead. Because the state series lacks age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution weights derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) across each demographic group. Factoring in these structural demographic shifts, Wynnum is projected to achieve population growth exceeding the national median for statistical areas, expanding by 3,037 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to an overall gain of 18.6% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Wynnum

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

384 new dwellings have been approved in Wynnum over the past five years, an average of 76 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 77 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% 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

Dwelling construction approvals across Wynnum have averaged approximately 76 residential properties annually, culminating in 384 homes over the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, incoming residents averaged 2.4 people per year for each newly built residence, demonstrating solid underlying demand that bolsters real estate values. New residential builds carry an average value of $530,000, marginally outperforming the regional benchmark and pointing to an emphasis on premium residential stock. Meanwhile, commercial construction activity has seen $5.3 million in approvals during this financial year, reflecting a modest level of commercial building activity.

Relative to Greater Brisbane, building activity in Wynnum is slightly higher (tracking 22.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), supporting choices for incoming purchasers whilst maintaining existing property interest, despite a deceleration in building volumes during recent years. Recent residential development is divided between detached houses at 45.0% and medium-to-high density formats like townhouses or apartments at 55.0%. This pivot toward higher-density living creates accessible entry points suitable for first-home purchasers, property investors, and downsizers. It also represents a clear shift away from current local housing stock (houses currently 71.0%), reflecting diminishing supplies of vacant land as well as changing lifestyle requirements and affordability considerations. With roughly 334 people per approval, Wynnum displays the characteristics of an established, mature urban market. Longer-term demographic projections indicate that Wynnum will welcome an additional 2,913 residents by 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. While residential building activity is tracking at a viable rate relative to future projections, increasing population numbers could lead to heightened competition among prospective buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Development

How many dwelling approvals have occurred in the Wynnum SA2 recently?
Dwelling approval activity in the the Wynnum SA2 area has seen 115 residential approvals over the past two financial years, based on AreaSearch's SA2 aggregation method. The Wynnum SA2's current population of 15,629 has been supported by 76 approvals on average over recent years.
How does the Wynnum SA2's development activity compare to the broader region?
The Wynnum SA2 has seen 0.51 approvals per 100 people in recent years, compared to 0.79 approvals in the broader region. This means that one dwelling has been approved for every 334 people in the Wynnum SA2, compared to one for every 117 in the broader region.
Is the Wynnum SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 2,913 people by 2041, around 1,457 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels may be insufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 2.0 persons per dwelling. This indicates potential housing shortages if current approval trends continue.
What has been the trend in development approvals over the past five years in the Wynnum SA2?
Looking at development activity over the past five years, the Wynnum SA2's approval levels have been significantly below the yearly average of 76, showing a notable downturn in recent development.

Are there opportunities for residential developers in the Wynnum SA2?
With dwelling approval activity running at an average of 76 approvals per year and a population of 15,629, there appears to be a supply shortfall relative to projected demand, presenting strong opportunities for residential developers.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Wynnum

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

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 13,139, 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

Wynnum features an educated labour pool with strong participation across key public and social services, an unemployment rate standing at just 3.6%, and an estimated 3.8% increase in jobs over the past year. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 9,239, while local unemployment remained 0.8% below the 4.3% benchmark for Greater Brisbane, alongside a solid labour force participation rate of 73.3% versus 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. Census records indicated that 23.4% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers consist of health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.

In particular, transport, postal & warehousing exhibits significant local concentration, commanding a workforce share 1.2 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance remains comparatively light, employing 14.4% of the Wynnum labour force against 16.1% seen throughout Greater Brisbane. Given the disparity between resident workers and local employment figures reported in the Census, this predominantly residential community generates a modest amount of employment within its own borders. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch demonstrates that over the 12 months to March 2026, total employment rose by 3.8% while the local workforce expanded by 4.1%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage points uptick in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded employment gains of 3.2% alongside a 3.4% expansion in the labour pool, yielding a 0.1 percentage point increase in joblessness. Looking ahead, national forecasts issued by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide perspective on local labour demand trajectories. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied across the local workforce structure to model potential employment outcomes. Nationally, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge widely across individual sectors. Applying these specific sectoral growth rates to Wynnum's existing industry distribution yields projected local employment increases of 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this modeling represents an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized 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 — 250 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,502 at the 2021 Census → 15,629 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 (301031020). 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 Wynnum 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 Wynnum 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 Wynnum 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.
