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
Bli Bli has an estimated 11,228 residents, up from 10,138 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,090 people, or 10.8%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years. 101 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 66.0% of that increase. That puts 365 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
According to investigations of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region, combined with fresh addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Bli Bli has an estimated population of approximately 11,228 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,090 individuals (10.8%) since the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 10,138 individuals. This shift is calculated from the resident population of 11,176, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the most recent ERP statistics published by the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 101 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population size corresponds to a density ratio of 364 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial room per individual and potential scope for subsequent expansion. The 10.8% growth rate in the suburb of Bli Bli since the 2021 census outstripped the Rest of Qld (9.2%), as well as the nationwide average, positioning it as an expansion leader within the region. Population expansion for the locality was chiefly steered by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 66.0% of total population gains during recent times, though all indicators including overseas migration and natural growth remained positive. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 region, as published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions not included in this dataset, and for years after 2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 region forecasts, published in 2023 and based on 2021 statistics, are implemented. It is worth noting that these state forecasts do not offer age category divisions; therefore where utilized, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (published in 2023, based on 2022 statistics) for each age bracket. Looking at population forecasts going forward, an above median population expansion of regional localities across the country is projected, with the suburb of Bli Bli anticipated to grow by 1,543 individuals to 2041 based on combined SA2-level forecasts, registering an increase of 13.3% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
233 new dwellings have been approved in Bli Bli over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 37 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval figures, distributed from statistical region data, Bli Bli has averaged approximately 46 new dwelling approvals per year, with an estimated 233 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 17 so far in FY-26. Given an average of 5.2 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand significantly exceeds new supply, which usually results in price growth and increased buyer competition, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $568,000, demonstrating a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
Also, $7.8 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, indicating limited commercial development focus. New development consists of 92.0% standalone homes and 8.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's traditional low density character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. The estimated count of 655 people in the area per dwelling approval reflects its quiet, low activity development environment. Future projections show Bli Bli adding 1,491 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Building activity is keeping pace with growth projections, though buyers may experience heightened competition as the population grows.

5,324 residents of Bli Bli are employed, from a labour force of 5,532. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 62.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,551, about 85% 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
Bli Bli features a skilled workforce, with the construction sector a particular standout in terms of representation, and an unemployment rate of only 3.7%, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 5,324 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.2% below Regional Qld's rate of 3.9%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (62.0% compared to Regional Qld's 64.3%). Based on Census responses, a low 13.4% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Leading employment industries among residents comprise health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in construction, with employment levels at 1.5 times the regional average. On the other hand, agriculture, forestry & fishing is under-represented, with only 1.0% of Bli Bli's workforce compared to 4.5% in Regional Qld. The area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, the labour force decreased by 2.2% while employment declined by 3.2%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.9 percentage points. This compares to Regional Qld, where employment grew by 0.1%, labour force expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment rose 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Bli Bli. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Bli Bli's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account 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 — 101 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,138 at the 2021 Census → 11,228 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.
