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.

Alexandra Hills has an estimated 17,322 residents, up from 16,472 at the 2021 Census — a change of 850 people, or 5.2%. Natural increase accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 1,264 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
Drawing on an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region alongside newly validated addresses recorded by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Alexandra Hills has an estimated population of 17,322 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 850 people (5.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 16,472 residents. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 17,255, determined by AreaSearch following an analysis of the ABS Estimated Resident Population release from June 2025, combined with 69 validated new addresses established after the Census date.
Such population levels translate to a density of 1,264 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the typical density found across nationwide locations monitored by AreaSearch. The suburb of Alexandra Hills's 5.2% Census-to-date growth rate lags by just 0.2 percentage points behind the SA3 region (5.4%), indicating healthy competitive growth. The primary contributor to local growth was natural increase, which accounted for approximately 53.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) for each SA2 area. For SA2 areas omitted from this dataset, or for periods extending past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are employed. Because these state-level projections lack detailed age cohorts, AreaSearch distributes growth across age segments using weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 and based on 2022 data. Looking at long-term patterns, projections indicate a downward trend, with the local population expected to contract by 1,562 persons by 2041 under this framework. Despite this general decline, specific cohorts are set to grow, particularly the 75 to 84 age bracket, which is expected to rise by 506 people. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
213 new dwellings have been approved in Alexandra Hills over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 64% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, broadly in line with 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval data mapped from statistical areas indicates that the suburb of Alexandra Hills averages approximately 42 residential approvals annually. This totals 213 home approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 45 recorded during FY-26. With an average of 1.6 new residents per year per approved home over the FY-21 to FY-25 period, demand closely matches supply to support a balanced market, while newly approved residences carry an average building value of $460,000, pointing to developer focus on upscale projects.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $7.1 million this financial year, highlighting the residential orientation of the area. Compared to Greater Brisbane, residential construction activity per capita in the suburb of Alexandra Hills is about three-quarters as high, placing it in the 47th percentile of all locations nationwide. This relatively low volume restricts options for prospective buyers, maintaining demand for established residences. This rate also sits below the national average, reflecting the built-out status of the area and possible planning constraints. Newly approved builds consist of 64.0% detached houses and 36.0% medium to high-density dwellings, showing an evolving mix of attached designs that offer choices ranging from large family residences to budget-friendly compact alternatives. This represents a significant shift from the current property profile of 93.0% houses, showing a scarcity of vacant land and adapting to modern lifestyles and budgetary pressures. Serving a mature market, the suburb of Alexandra Hills averages roughly 351 people per approved dwelling. As the population is projected to stabilize or decrease, the suburb of Alexandra Hills should experience diminished pressure on its housing stock, potentially creating favorable conditions for buyers.

9,983 residents of Alexandra Hills are employed, from a labour force of 10,431. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 74.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,479, about 78% 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 workforce of the suburb of Alexandra Hills comprises a balanced mix of professional and trade workers, with the building sector showing particularly strong local representation. The unemployment rate sits at 4.3%, and employment grew by an estimated 3.6% over the preceding year, according to aggregated statistical area data. There were 9,983 employed residents in March 2026, with unemployment matching the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3% and labor force participation slightly elevated at 74.1% compared to 70.4% regionally. Census returns show that a moderate 13.6% of workers worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic restrictions.
The largest sectors of employment for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The suburb of Alexandra Hills displays a concentrated construction workforce that is 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 5.5% of local workers compared to 8.9% in Greater Brisbane. The heavily residential suburb of Alexandra Hills appears to have few local jobs, judging by the comparison between the Census working population and resident population figures. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 3.6% and the labour force rose by 4.1%, leading to an increase in unemployment of 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2%, a labour force expansion of 3.4%, and an unemployment rise of 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Alexandra Hills. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. National employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, although growth rates vary considerably across industry sectors. When these industry-specific projections are applied to Alexandra Hills's employment mix, local employment is estimated to increase by 6.3% over five years and by 13.3% over ten years. It is important to note that this calculation represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised 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 — 69 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,472 at the 2021 Census → 17,322 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL30031). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
