This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Alderley has an estimated 7,406 residents, up from 6,748 at the 2021 Census — a change of 658 people, or 9.8%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 47.0% of that increase. That puts 2,882 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside new address points validated by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of the suburb of Alderley is roughly 7,406 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 658 residents (9.8%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 6,748 individuals. This variation is derived from the resident population of 7,406, which AreaSearch calculated using the most recent ABS ERP figures from June 2025 and 42 validated new addresses registered since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 2,881 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Alderley's 9.8% expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the national average (9.3%), making it a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this demographic expansion was international migration, which accounted for approximately 47.0% of the overall population gains recently, though natural increase and interstate migration also recorded positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this data, and for all years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are used instead. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales demographic cohorts using proportional growth weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 using 2022 data. Looking ahead, the suburb of Alderley is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median, with local numbers expected to rise by 1,443 persons by 2041 under combined SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 19.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
328 new dwellings have been approved in Alderley over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 17% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 26, well below 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
Based on AreaSearch calculations of ABS building approvals mapped from statistical regions, the suburb of Alderley averaged approximately 65 new residential approvals per year, summing to an estimated 328 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During FY-26 so far, 24 approvals have been documented. With an average of 1.9 individuals relocating to the community annually for each built dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, demand and supply appear well-matched, supporting balanced market conditions. Newly constructed properties carry an average estimated value of $470,000, which indicates a developer focus on higher-end residential products.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $769,000 were logged during this financial year, suggesting very low levels of business development. Of the housing built recently, detached homes accounted for 17.0% while townhouses or apartments made up 83.0%. This concentration of higher-density housing provides affordable options for entry and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This patterns marks a clear departure from the existing local housing stock, which is 57.0% detached houses, demonstrating a reduction in available development sites alongside shifting preferences for diverse, cost-effective residential options. The ratio of approximately 113 residents for every dwelling approval highlights the suburb of Alderley's growth characteristics. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Alderley will add 1,443 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing should easily accommodate this demand, offering positive conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current forecasts.

4,849 residents of Alderley are employed, from a labour force of 5,089. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 81.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,651, about 76% 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 suburb of Alderley possesses a highly qualified labor force with a strong presence of professionals, an unemployment rate of 4.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.0% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch regional data aggregation. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,849, while the unemployment rate was 0.4% higher than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%. The participation rate of 81.2% significantly exceeded the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. Census figures show that 27.7% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic lockdowns.
The main industries employing local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The suburb of Alderley exhibits a strong concentration in professional & technical services, with employment shares reaching 1.6 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, manufacturing is underrepresented at 3.1% compared to the regional benchmark of 6.4%. Comparing the local working population to the resident workforce suggests that this mostly residential suburb offers few local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the past 12 months saw job numbers rise by 1.0% while the local labor force expanded by 2.2%, leading to an increase of 1.1 percentage points in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context for local trends. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific national trends onto the suburb of Alderley's workforce mix indicates local employment could grow by 7.2% over five years and 14.6% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 42 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,748 at the 2021 Census → 7,406 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.
