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.

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 and recently confirmed addresses from AreaSearch indicates that the suburb of Alice River has an estimated population of 3,178 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 493 people (18.4%) from the 2,685 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The projection is based on a resident population estimate of 3,043 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS release of June 2025 ERP data, combined with 154 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 79 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and ample space for future residential expansion.
The 18.4% growth rate in the suburb of Alice River since the 2021 census outpaced the wider SA4 region (7.1%) and the corresponding SA3 area, establishing the community as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this population growth was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 62.0% of the gains, although natural increase and overseas migration also contributed positively. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are employed. Because these state-level figures do not detail age distributions, AreaSearch applies age cohort growth weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using a 2022 baseline). Looking ahead, the suburb of Alice River is expected to experience population growth exceeding the median for regional parts of Australia, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating an increase of 674 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 17.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
152 new dwellings have been approved in Alice River over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 62, 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
Based on analysis of ABS building approvals allocated to the area, the suburb of Alice River has averaged roughly 30 residential approvals per year, summing to approximately 152 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 57 approvals have been logged. The ratio of 2.8 new residents gained for each constructed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25 points to healthy demand that underpins local property values, with new dwellings showing an average construction value of $391,000. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $2.5 million this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the area.
Compared to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Alice River registers 163.0% more new home approvals per capita, offering prospective buyers a wider selection of properties. This volume is also considerably higher than the national average, indicating substantial developer interest. Additionally, recent residential construction consists entirely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the community and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. With a ratio of approximately 94 people for every dwelling approval, the suburb of Alice River exhibits clear signs of a growing community. Long-term projections indicate the suburb of Alice River will add 539 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing is expected to satisfy demand, creating favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling growth to outstrip current demographic forecasts.

1,532 residents of Alice River are employed, from a labour force of 1,562. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 64.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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 2,620, 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
The suburb of Alice River is characterized by a skilled resident workforce with solid representation in essential services, and an unemployment rate of only 1.9% based on aggregated local statistical data. By March 2026, 1,532 local residents were employed. The jobless rate sits 2.0% below the Regional Qld average of 3.9%, while the labor participation rate remains close to the regional benchmark of 64.3%. Census data indicates a minor 6.8% portion of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures. The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and public administration & safety.
The suburb of Alice River displays a clear employment concentration in the construction sector, where the workforce share is 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.1% of local employment, compared to 4.5% across the region. A comparison between the census count of local workers and the resident workforce suggests that local job opportunities within the area itself are limited. Analysis of SALM and ABS data for the year ending March 2026 shows that the local labor force contracted by 3.8% and employment fell by 4.1%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.3 percentage points. Over the same period, Regional Qld saw employment grow by 0.1% and its labor force expand by 0.3%, with a jobless rate increase of 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Mapping these industry projections onto the employment profile of the suburb of Alice River suggests local employment could expand by 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local 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 — 154 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,685 at the 2021 Census → 3,178 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.
