Sales Detail
Auchenflower has an estimated 6,620 residents, up from 6,053 at the 2021 Census — a change of 567 people, or 9.4%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 4,763 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 evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Auchenflower has an estimated population of approximately 6,620 as of May 2026. This indicates an addition of 567 residents (9.4%) since the 2021 Census, which counted 6,053 people. This trend is derived from a resident population of 6,613, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) along with 13 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level corresponds to a density ratio of 4,762 persons per square kilometer, placing the area within the top 10% of national locations analyzed by AreaSearch and highlighting local land as a highly coveted resource.
The 9.4% growth rate in the suburb of Auchenflower since the 2021 census exceeded the national benchmark (9.3%), positioning it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion in the area was mostly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 72.0% of total population gains during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas lacking this coverage, and for years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government for SA2 areas released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized. Note that these state-level projections do not segment by age categories; therefore, where they are used, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Looking at future demographic patterns, a population increase slightly below the national median of statistical areas is anticipated, with the suburb of Auchenflower projected to grow by 431 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total expansion of 6.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
43 new dwellings have been approved in Auchenflower over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 44, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, Auchenflower has seen approximately 8 dwellings approved for development annually, amounting to an estimated 43 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 41 approvals have been registered. With an average of 7.3 individuals per year relocating to the locality for every dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand vastly outpaces new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new residences are built with an average value of $560,000, indicating that developers are targeting the premium market with high-end projects.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $35.5 million this financial year, pointing to strong local business investment. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Auchenflower displays significantly lower development activity (73.0% below the regional average per capita). This constrained new supply generally underpins stronger demand and pricing for existing properties, even though construction has picked up recently. This activity level is also lower than the national benchmark, reflecting market maturity and indicating potential development limits. New building projects consist of 22.0% detached houses and 78.0% townhouses or apartments. This focus on denser living options provides affordable entry points and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This is a clear departure from the area's current housing mix (presently 41.0% houses), signaling a shrinking pool of developable land and reflecting changing lifestyles alongside the demand for more varied, affordable housing choices. With roughly 453 people per approval, Auchenflower represents a mature market. Demographic projections indicate Auchenflower will add 424 residents by 2041 (derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current building rates continue, housing supply may fall behind population growth, which is likely to escalate buyer competition and support price appreciation.

4,465 residents of Auchenflower are employed, from a labour force of 4,632. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 78.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,462, about 83% 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
Auchenflower has a highly qualified labor force, featuring a strong presence of professional services, an unemployment rate of just 3.6%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.2% over the last year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,465 local residents are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.7% below the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, and workforce participation levels far exceeding the norm (78.6% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane). Census records show that a high 30.7% of residents worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area exhibits a distinct specialization in the professional & technical sector, with its employment share reaching 2.0 times the regional average. Conversely, construction employs only 4.8% of the local workforce, which is below the 9.0% recorded for Greater Brisbane. The heavily residential suburb seems to present few local jobs, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, employment grew by 1.2% over the 12 months ending March 2026, while the labor force expanded by 2.2%, leading to a 0.9 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point increase. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective future demand in Auchenflower. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution in Auchenflower suggests local employment should rise by 7.4% over five years and 14.9% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 13 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,053 at the 2021 Census → 6,620 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 (SAL30101). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
