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
Boondall has an estimated 10,443 residents, up from 9,603 at the 2021 Census — a change of 840 people, or 8.7%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. 104 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 61.0% of that increase. That puts 961 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
Demographic updates from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with address records verified by AreaSearch since the Census, indicate the suburb of Boondall has an estimated 10,443 residents as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 840 individuals (8.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 9,603 people. The calculation stems from an estimated resident count of 10,430, derived by AreaSearch from the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 104 validated new addresses added after the Census. This population level translates to 960 persons per square kilometer, a density closely matching typical averages across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Boondall recorded 8.7% growth post-census, placing it within 0.5 percentage points of the broader SA4 territory (9.2%), showing competitive underlying expansion. Overseas migration was the primary contributor to these gains, accounting for roughly 61.0% of the overall population increase over recent timeframes. AreaSearch utilises projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for periods beyond 2032, state projections issued by the Queensland Government in 2023 (utilising 2021 records) are implemented. Because these state figures omit age distributions, AreaSearch applies age-group allocations based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data). Looking at long-term outlooks, expansion in the suburb of Boondall is projected to settle slightly below the national median, with the local cohort expected to grow by 1,101 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 models, showing a 10.4% total rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
251 new dwellings have been approved in Boondall over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 64% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 25, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from regional data shows that the suburb of Boondall averages approximately 50 residential consents annually, summing to an estimated 251 residences over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 23 approvals have been documented. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, every finished dwelling was matched by an average gain of 2.9 new residents, indicating solid demand supporting local real estate. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $468,000, showing that builders are prioritizing upper-market projects. Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $38.2 million this financial year, pointing to strong local business investment.
Relative to Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Boondall experiences roughly 68% of the per capita construction volume, placing it in the 30th percentile of all national areas evaluated, which restricts options for prospective buyers and sustains demand for established homes. Current approvals consist of 64.0% detached houses and 36.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings, indicating a shift toward denser formats that offer varied price points, from large family residences to compact options. This represents a distinct departure from the existing housing stock (which stands at 83.0% houses), driven by scarcer building parcels and changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. An average of 545 people per single residential approval highlights a quiet, low-scale construction environment. Long-range forecasts indicate the suburb of Boondall will add 1,088 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Current building volumes appear sufficient to satisfy demand, maintaining balanced conditions for buyers and potentially supporting expansion that outpaces current projections.

6,008 residents of Boondall are employed, from a labour force of 6,299. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 72.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,466, about 81% 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 suburb of Boondall has a qualified workforce with strong representation in key service industries, an unemployment rate of 4.6%, and an estimated 6.8% expansion in jobs over the past year according to integrated AreaSearch files. As of March 2026, working residents numbered 6,008, while the unemployment rate sat 0.3% higher than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%. Labor participation is standard at 72.9%, compared to 70.4% across Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates a moderate 19.8% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect pandemic-era health measures.
Locals are primarily employed in healthcare & social assistance, transport, postal & warehousing, and education & training. The suburb of Boondall displays a distinct concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, employing residents at 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, construction is underrepresented, accounting for 6.9% of local jobs compared to 9.0% regionally. The ratio of local jobs to resident workers indicates limited employment opportunities within the immediate boundaries. Based on SALM and ABS figures aggregated by AreaSearch, the 12-month window experienced a 6.8% rise in employment alongside a 7.2% expansion of the labor force, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% increase in employment, a 3.4% rise in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point lift in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future trends. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce mix to project future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local workforce suggests employment for the suburb of Boondall could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, using a basic weighted extrapolation.

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 — 104 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,603 at the 2021 Census → 10,443 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 (SAL30324). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
