Detail
The suburb of Albion (Brisbane - Qld) has an estimated population of 4,085 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch validations of new addresses combined with ABS population updates. This figure represents a rise of 639 individuals, or 18.5%, compared to the 2021 Census count of 3,446 residents. The updated estimate of 4,085 people was derived from the latest ERP data released by the ABS in June 2025, plus 111 newly confirmed addresses recorded after the Census date. At a population density of 3,118 persons per square kilometer, the suburb falls within the upper quartile when compared to other national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Albion's 18.5% growth rate since the 2021 census surpassed both the national average of 9.5% and the state average, establishing it as a leading growth area in the region. Overseas migration accounted for roughly 59.0% of the total population increase in recent years, while interstate movement and natural growth also contributed positively to the overall expansion. Projections utilised by AreaSearch originate from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset for SA2 areas using 2022 as its baseline. When assessing timeframes beyond 2032 or locations outside that model's coverage, figures draw upon 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 projections based on 2021 numbers. Because these state figures omit cohort-level breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age-group distribution weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (anchored in 2022 benchmarks). These forecast demographic patterns point to top-quartile population expansion on a national scale for the suburb of Albion (Brisbane - Qld), with aggregated SA2 projections indicating an increase of 1,308 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 32.0% expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
162 new dwellings have been approved in Albion (Brisbane - Qld) over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 62 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 3% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 148, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
ABS building approval statistics compiled by AreaSearch indicate that Albion recorded an average of roughly 32 new residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 162 dwellings throughout the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 148 residential approvals have been logged. Over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, the ratio stood at an average of 2.3 new residents per dwelling annually, reflecting robust underlying demand that underpins local real estate values. New residential developments feature an average construction cost of $1,422,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on higher-end, premium housing projects.
Furthermore, commercial approvals amounting to $6.4 million have been registered during this financial year, reinforcing the predominantly residential profile of the locality. Per capita residential approvals in Albion surpass Greater Brisbane by 97.0%, offering substantial variety for prospective purchasers. This elevated volume exceeds countrywide figures and highlights strong development interest across the area. Approvals for new residential construction comprise 3.0% detached dwellings alongside 97.0% apartments or townhouses. Such emphasis on higher-density housing creates accessible entry pricing suitable for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizing owner-occupiers. This delivery pipeline marks a clear transition from the established built environment, where detached houses represent 22.0% of stock, driven by limited development parcels as well as evolving lifestyle choices and buyer affordability. Logging roughly 53 residents for every approved dwelling, Albion displays the distinct hallmarks of an expanding urban market. Moving forward, the latest quarterly projection from AreaSearch indicates that Albion will expand by 1,308 residents to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, residential deliveries could fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer demand and putting upward pressure on dwelling prices.

2,873 residents of Albion (Brisbane - Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 2,981. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 78.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 5,065, about 124% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 highly qualified resident labor pool characterizes Albion, featuring prominent representation across professional services, a 3.6% unemployment rate, and an estimated annual employment expansion of 2.0% according to AreaSearch aggregated data. Employed local residents reached 2,873 as of March 2026, while the local jobless rate settled 0.7% below the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%. Labor force engagement is particularly elevated, reaching 78.4% compared with 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. Census records show 23.0% of local workers operated from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment sectors for local residents include retail trade, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance.
Specialization is exceptionally strong in professional & technical services, where resident worker concentration reaches 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, education & training accounts for a comparatively modest 6.2% share of local employment versus 9.4% regionally. Recording 1.2 local positions for each resident at the Census, the precinct operates as a net employment destination, drawing inbound commuters from neighboring communities. According to AreaSearch research combining SALM and ABS figures from larger statistical regions, employment grew by 2.0% and the labour force expanded by 2.1% during the year ending March 2026, while unemployment stayed largely the same. This differs from Greater Brisbane, where employment climbed by 3.2%, the labour force grew by 3.4%, and unemployment increased by 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment outlooks from Mar-26 can provide additional perspective on future demand in Albion. These forecasts span five and ten year intervals and have been aligned with the local employment structure to project growth trends. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific estimates are applied to Albion's employment composition, local employment is anticipated to rise by 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,446 at the 2021 Census → 4,085 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.
