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
Aspley has an estimated 13,770 residents, up from 12,871 at the 2021 Census — a change of 899 people, or 7.0%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 68.0% of that increase. That puts 2,148 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
Based on scrutiny of ABS population releases for the surrounding region, combined with fresh addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Aspley has an estimated population of approximately 13,770 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 899 individuals (7.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 12,871 residents. This calculation is derived from a resident headcount of 13,767, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures alongside 68 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,148 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical level across national areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth rate of 7.0% in the suburb of Aspley trailing the SA4 region (9.2%) by 2.2 percentage points indicates solid local growth conditions. Population gains in the area were driven mostly by arrivals from abroad, which comprised roughly 68.0% of the net gains, though net interstate migration and natural increase also recorded positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 locality, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for the years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are substituted. Since these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections using a 2022 baseline. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to align with the bottom quartile of national locations, with the suburb of Aspley expected to add 151 residents by 2041 under consolidated SA2 projections, representing an expansion of 1.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
228 new dwellings have been approved in Aspley over the past five years, an average of 45 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 88% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals from the ABS indicate that the suburb of Aspley averages approximately 45 residential approvals annually, with a total of 228 properties approved over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 14 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.1 new residents per year arriving for each finished home between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outpaces the volume of new completions, which typically supports upward price pressure and heightened competition, while newly built homes carry an average construction value of $636,000, showing developers are concentrating on upscale residential projects.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $25.0 million during this financial year, demonstrating steady investment in local commercial projects. Recent residential permits consist of 88.0% standalone houses and 12.0% semi-detached dwellings or apartments, preserving the low-density character of the area with a focus on family-oriented housing. Notably, builders are focusing more heavily on detached housing compared to the proportion recorded at the Census (72.0%), highlighting sustained demand for houses despite broader consolidation trends. With approximately 370 people per approval, the suburb of Aspley shows characteristics of an established property market. Future demographic models project the suburb of Aspley will grow by 148 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. At the current pace of building activity, residential supply is projected to satisfy demand, supporting favorable purchasing conditions and potentially allowing growth to exceed baseline projections.

Brisbane Metro Northern Extension - CBD to Carseldine
The Northern Metro extension is a proposed expansion of the Brisbane Metro bus rapid transit system from the CBD north to Carseldine, with new and upgraded stops or stations at Windsor, Lutwyche, Kedron Brook, Kedron North, Chermside, Aspley and Carseldine. The route would extend Metro 2 services from the Royal Brisbane and Womens Hospital terminus along the Northern Busway, then north along the Gympie Road and Lutwyche Road corridor. The expansion is one of four priority corridors in the Brisbane Metro Expansions Business Case being prepared by Brisbane City Council in partnership with the Queensland and Federal Governments, with delivery targeted ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.The business case will confirm alignment, depot locations including a new Northern Metro Depot, network improvements and delivery phasing. An Expressions of Interest process for the business case closed in early 2025, and in March 2026 the four metro expansions were placed on Infrastructure Australias Infrastructure Priority List in the 2-4 year delivery pipeline. The related Northern Transitway works on Gympie Road between Kedron and Chermside, delivering dedicated peak-period bus lanes, are being delivered separately by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads.
Northern Transitway (Kedron to Chermside)
The Northern Transitway provides dedicated bus priority infrastructure along Gympie Road between Kedron and Chermside. The initial section to Rode Road has been completed. The remaining Rode Road to Hamilton Road section has been deferred and is now being reconsidered as part of the Gympie Road Bypass and Surface Corridor Transformation planning. Current project activity is focused on business case development and corridor planning rather than active construction.
Gympie Road Bypass Tunnel
Proposed ~7km tolled twin-lane-each-way bypass tunnel between Kedron and Carseldine to remove through traffic from the congested Gympie Road corridor. Responsibility transitioned from North Brisbane Infrastructure (QIC) to Queensland's Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) on 1 July 2025. TMR is currently reviewing the planning work, with the project expected to be among the first major infrastructure works to commence construction following the 2032 Olympic Games.

7,781 residents of Aspley are employed, from a labour force of 8,073. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 70.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,394, about 90% 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 local labor market in Aspley reflects a highly skilled population with significant presence in professional services. Estimated annual employment growth reached 7.2%, according to aggregated statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. The unemployment rate stands at 3.6%, indicating a robust job market. By March 2026, a total of 7,781 residents were actively employed. This unemployment figure is 0.7% lower than the 4.3% recorded for Greater Brisbane. Workforce participation aligns with the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 70.4%. Census data reveals that 22.1% of residents engaged in remote work, a figure that should be contextualized with the lingering effects of the Covid-19 lockdown period.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. In contrast, manufacturing employs a lower share at 4.6% compared to the Greater Brisbane average of 6.4%. The heavily residential character of the area results in limited local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the count of local jobs at the Census against the resident workforce. According to AreaSearch insights from SALM and ABS data aggregated from local statistical areas, the past 12 months saw job numbers rise by 7.2% alongside a 7.2% expansion in the active labor force, keeping the overall unemployment rate steady. By comparison, Greater Brisbane recorded job growth of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, with its unemployment rate rising by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Although total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of growth varies widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents of the suburb of Aspley will rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, assuming a direct industry weighting without adjusting for local population shifts.

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 — 68 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,871 at the 2021 Census → 13,770 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 (SAL30095). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
