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
Andergrove has an estimated 10,547 residents, up from 9,924 at the 2021 Census — a change of 623 people, or 6.3%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. 109 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,244 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
Analyzing ABS demographic updates for the broader region alongside recently confirmed address records from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Andergrove has an estimated population of 10,547 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 623 people (6.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 9,924 individuals. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 10,489, which AreaSearch determined using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 combined with 109 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such population numbers result in a density of 1,243 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure across Australian locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Andergrove's 6.3% growth since the Census is within 0.5 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (6.8%), indicating strong comparative growth dynamics. The main driver of this expansion was natural increase, contributing roughly 39.0% of the overall population rise during recent periods, although net interstate and overseas migration also registered positive gains. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions where this data is unavailable, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are employed. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using proportions derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) for each cohort. Long-term demographic trends suggest that regional parts of Australia will experience growth above the median, with the area projected to add 1,567 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a 14.3% overall increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
252 new dwellings have been approved in Andergrove over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 45, 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 residential building approvals indicates that Andergrove averages approximately 50 approved dwellings annually, with an estimated total of 252 residential builds sanctioned over the last 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 42 approvals have been documented. An average of 1.9 new residents arrived in the area for every completed home between FY-21 and FY-25, pointing to a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand that supports market stability, though this ratio decreased to 1.3 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years to indicate a further balancing of the market.
Newly built homes carry an average construction value of $470,000, which sits slightly above the regional average and points to a focus on higher-quality construction. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $3.8 million have been registered in the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential nature of the locality. Relative to the Rest of Qld, development activity in Andergrove is slightly higher, running 36.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year timeframe, which helps preserve choice for buyers while reinforcing existing home values. Recent building activity consisted entirely of standalone houses, preserving the established suburban environment and catering to families looking for spacious properties. Developers are currently focusing on traditional houses at a higher rate than the existing housing stock (which stood at 83.0% at the Census), showing sustained demand for detached homes despite density trends. With a ratio of roughly 153 people for every approval, Andergrove shows the characteristics of a developing area. Long-term forecasts indicate the suburb of Andergrove will gain 1,509 residents by 2041, according to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. Although construction volumes are aligned with these growth projections, purchasers could face increased competition as the population increases.

5,636 residents of Andergrove are employed, from a labour force of 5,827. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 68.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,139, about 77% 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
Andergrove maintains a balanced employment mix across white and blue collar jobs, with manufacturing and industrial fields playing a strong role, while the unemployment rate stands at 3.3% and estimated employment growth reaches 3.9% over the past year according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 5,636 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 0.6% lower than Regional Qld's rate of 3.9%, with workforce participation remaining fairly standard at 68.7% compared to Regional Qld's 64.3%. Census data indicates that only 4.1% of residents were working from home, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and mining. The community shows a high level of specialization in the mining sector, where the employment share is 3.1 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented at 0.6% of the workforce compared to 4.5% across the region. The suburb's residential focus is reflected in the limited local employment opportunities, as shown by comparing the number of working residents to local job positions in the Census. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, employment rose by 3.9% and the labour force grew by 5.3%, leading to an increase in unemployment of 1.3 percentage points. By comparison, the Regional Qld area saw employment growth of 0.1% and labour force growth of 0.3%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional context for potential future demand in Andergrove. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate future growth patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Andergrove's current employment mix, local employment is expected to grow by 6.0% over five years and by 12.9% over ten years. It should be noted that this estimate uses 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 — 109 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,924 at the 2021 Census → 10,547 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.
