Alice River has an estimated 3,179 residents, up from 2,685 at the 2021 Census — a change of 494 people, or 18.4%. Growth has averaged 3.0% a year over five years, faster than 89% of areas nationally. 154 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. Density is about 80 people per 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases and new address validations post-Census, the suburb of Alice River has an estimated population of approximately 3,179 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 494 residents (18.4%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 2,685 people. The updated figure builds upon an estimated resident population of 3,043 determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 154 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With 80 persons per square kilometer, the suburb offers substantial living area per capita along with capacity for additional expansion.
The suburb of Alice River outpaced broader benchmarks with its 18.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census, surpassing both the SA4 region (7.2%) and the SA3 territory to rank among the primary regional growth centers. Inward interstate movement served as the main catalyst, generating roughly 62.0% of recent population additions, while overseas migration and natural increase also provided positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 using 2022 as their baseline year, while areas outside this dataset or projections past 2032 utilize Queensland State Government SA2 data published in 2023 based on 2021 figures. Because these state figures omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional cohort weighting derived from ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 figures). Looking ahead, demographic patterns suggest growth will track within the lower quartile of Australia's regional districts, with aggregated SA2-level figures pointing to an increase of 59 persons through to 2041, representing an overall contraction of 2.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
212 new dwellings have been approved in Alice River over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 66, 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
Examining ABS residential approvals distributed across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch calculates that Alice River averages roughly 42 residential building approvals annually, totaling an estimated 212 dwellings approved over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 66 approvals registered to date in FY-25. The ratio of 1.9 incoming residents per approved residence annually across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates balanced supply and demand conditions supporting a stable environment. New dwellings feature an average construction cost of $446,000, which sits below regional benchmarks to provide cost-effective options for purchasers.
Non-residential building is limited, with commercial approvals totaling $2.5 million during the ongoing financial year, underlining the dominant residential profile of the locality. Per capita residential building approvals in Alice River exceed the Rest of Qld average by 278.0%, widening available supply for purchasers. This volume substantially exceeds nationwide averages, highlighting strong builder engagement across the locality. Approvals have consisted entirely of detached houses, preserving the established low-density setting characterized by spacious family residences. Current building intensity stands at around 54 people per dwelling approval, pointing toward an active development environment. Given that demographic forecasts indicate stagnant or declining population numbers, residential demand pressures across Alice River are poised to ease, creating favorable purchasing conditions.

1,279 residents of Alice River are employed, from a labour force of 1,307. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 54.1%. 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 2,748, about 86% 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
Alice River maintains a capable workforce with strong representation in core services, registering an unemployment rate of 2.1% according to aggregated statistical district figures from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed locals number 1,279, while joblessness sits 1.8% below the 3.9% figure for Regional Qld; however, local labour participation of 54.1% trails the Regional Qld benchmark of 64.2%. Census figures indicated that a modest 6.8% of workers operated from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions must be taken into account. Local employment is heavily centered in construction, public administration & safety, as well as health care & social assistance.
The construction sector demonstrates a prominent local concentration, engaging workers at 1.5 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for merely 1.1% of the workforce in Alice River, contrasting with 4.5% across Regional Qld. Comparisons between local working participants and resident workforce tallies suggest a scarcity of employment within the immediate area. AreaSearch assessment of combined SALM and ABS statistics across wider districts reveals that during the twelve months to March 2026, the local workforce shrank by 8.0% alongside an employment reduction of 8.4%, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% rise in employment and a 0.3% workforce expansion, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlook projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour requirements in Alice River, tracking five- and ten-year trends against the local industry makeup. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-specific trajectories vary widely. When mapped against the occupational profile of Alice River, these forecasts suggest local job growth of 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and excludes local demographic 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 — 154 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,685 at the 2021 Census → 3,179 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL30034). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
