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
Zillmere has an estimated 10,148 residents, up from 9,323 at the 2021 Census — a change of 825 people, or 8.8%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 70.7% of that increase. That puts 2,743 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 population residing in Zillmere stands at roughly 10,148 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 9,323 people, this represents an expansion of 825 people (8.8%). This net variation is calculated from the ABS figure of 10,132 estimated resident population recorded as of June 2025 alongside 39 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With a resultant population density of 2,742 persons per square kilometer, the suburb ranks within the top quartile among all nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, Zillmere's 8.8% post-2021 census expansion outperformed the broader SA3 area rate of 7.7%, establishing the locality as a regional frontrunner in growth. Inflow from overseas migration served as the primary catalyst for this demographic increase, generating around 70.7% of total recent population additions. Projections for each individual SA2 area published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as their starting baseline are utilized by AreaSearch. For any timelines beyond 2032 or locations lacking coverage in that release, AreaSearch incorporates Queensland State Government SA2 area forecasts published in 2023 derived from 2021 figures. Because these state forecasts omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned proportionally with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 using 2022 benchmarks. Looking ahead, population expansion is projected to sit in the bottom quartile across national statistical divisions, with local numbers forecasted to climb by 333 persons through to 2041 under latest annual ERP metrics, representing an aggregate rise of 3.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
123 new dwellings have been approved in Zillmere over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% 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 authorisations in Zillmere average approximately 24 properties each year, totaling 123 homes approved throughout the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because approximately 4.9 new residents arrived per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to local residential stock are lagging demand considerably, typically driving heightened competition among prospective purchasers and upward pressure on prices. Newly approved residential dwellings carry an estimated average construction cost of $396,000, aligning with wider regional averages. Furthermore, the current financial year has seen $22.4 million in commercial development approvals recorded, indicating an equilibrium in non-residential construction projects.
Per capita building volume in Zillmere sits at roughly 75% of the benchmark observed across Greater Brisbane, positioning the suburb at the 44th percentile across the country and restricting available inventory, thereby stimulating demand for established housing. This below-average rate of construction on a national scale reflects the established urban character of the locality while suggesting possible town planning limitations. Approvals for new residential buildings consist of 48.0% standalone homes and 52.0% attached dwellings. Such concentration on higher-density formats delivers lower-priced entry points suitable for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and property investors. A figure of roughly 342 people per dwelling approval underscores the mature status of the local development sector. According to projections based on the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch, Zillmere is set to add 317 residents through to 2041. At current rates of building approval and construction, incoming residential additions are well positioned to satisfy demand, creating favorable market conditions for prospective purchasers and potentially enabling expansion above current population expectations.

Zillmere Station Transit Oriented Development Investigation
A potential transit oriented development precinct around Zillmere railway station in Brisbane's north. Current official TMR material identifies Queensland's active TOD projects at other stations, and Brisbane City Council's published current suburban renewal precinct list does not identify Zillmere as an active precinct plan. Treat this record as a proposed or early investigation opportunity rather than a confirmed delivery project. Future outcomes would likely focus on walkable mixed-use development, housing choice and better integration with rail and local centre uses.
291-293 Zillmere Road Townhouse Development
A townhouse development site with Brisbane City Council approval for 12 two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouses across two lots (1,214m2). The development is strategically located opposite O'Callahan Park and is part of Zillmere's urban renewal project.

5,792 residents of Zillmere are employed, from a labour force of 6,324. Unemployment sits at 8.4%, with participation at 74.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,317, about 82% 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
A proficient labor pool characterizes Zillmere, supported by strong representation across essential service industries, an unemployment level of 8.4%, and annual estimated employment gains of 7.2%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,792, while the local jobless rate sits 4.1% above the 4.3% reported for Greater Brisbane, highlighting potential for labor market improvement amid a labor force participation rate of 74.2% (relative to 70.1% across Greater Brisbane). Census figures showed that 14.6% of employed locals conducted their work from home, a figure influenced by Covid-19 restrictions during that period.
Workforce participation among residents is largely concentrated within retail trade, health care & social assistance, and transport, postal & warehousing. The district demonstrates particular sector concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where local employment concentration is 1.5 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, education & training accounts for a smaller footprint, employing 7.2% of the resident workforce against 9.4% regionally. The predominantly residential layout of the community offers relatively few workplaces on site, as highlighted when comparing the Census working population against resident workforce totals. AreaSearch assessment of data from the ABS and SALM shows that over the twelve months to March 2026, the area experienced equal 7.2% expansions in both employment numbers and overall labour force size, keeping the jobless rate essentially unchanged. In comparison, Greater Brisbane saw job numbers rise by 3.2% alongside a 3.4% expansion in the labour force, resulting in unemployment ticking up by 0.1 percentage points. Additional perspective regarding future labor requirements in Zillmere is provided by national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts were modeled against the local industrial makeup to project future workforce expansion. Nationwide figures suggest total employment will grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variations across individual industries. Projecting these sectoral trends onto Zillmere's resident employment profile indicates prospective local employment growth of 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this modeling uses simple weighted extrapolation for illustration and excludes specific local 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 — 39 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,323 at the 2021 Census → 10,148 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.
