Sales Detail
Brendale has an estimated 4,051 residents, up from 3,100 at the 2021 Census — a change of 951 people, or 30.7%. Growth has averaged 5.3% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 42.0% of that increase. That puts 378 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Brendale has an estimated population of approximately 4,051, according to AreaSearch research integrating broader ABS population updates with new validated addresses post-Census. Compared to the 3,100 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 951 people (30.7%). The figure is derived from an estimated 4,045 resident population identified in AreaSearch analysis of the ABS ERP release from June 2025, alongside 28 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. With a population density of 377 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial personal space and capacity for expansion.
Surpassing both the national growth rate of 9.5% and the wider SA3 area, the suburb of Brendale emerged as a regional growth leader with its 30.7% post-2021 Census expansion. Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 42.0% of recent population additions, while interstate migration and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 area utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 (2022 base year), supplemented post-2032 and across uncovered SA2 areas by 2023 Queensland State Government figures based on 2021 numbers. Because state projections omit age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional age-cohort weighting based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (2022 base). Looking ahead, the suburb of Brendale is positioned within the top quartile of national statistical regions for expansion, with combined SA2-level figures projecting a gain of 1,464 persons by 2041, representing an overall increase of 36.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
269 new dwellings have been approved in Brendale over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
ABS building approval figures examined by AreaSearch indicate that Brendale has averaged roughly 53 residential property approvals annually, accumulating an estimated 269 dwellings across the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 9 approvals have been logged. With an average influx of 9.8 new residents per year for each home built over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, construction has trailed local demand, creating conditions that typically foster heightened buyer interest and value appreciation. Furthermore, the average expected construction cost for incoming dwellings stands at $298,000, coming in below the regional benchmark to provide more accessible pricing for purchasers.
Alongside residential activity, $110.0 million in commercial approvals has been recorded this financial year, demonstrating substantial commercial momentum. Brendale has registered development levels 46.0% above the regional average per person across the 5 year period relative to Greater Brisbane, maintaining buyer supply and backing ongoing property demand despite an easing in building pace in recent years. The breakdown of recent construction shows 38.0% detached houses and 62.0% townhouses or apartments. This shift toward medium and higher-density stock offers attainable options for first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors. Concurrently, the 38.0% detached housing share among new approvals exceeds the 15.0% at Census, indicating ongoing demand for standalone family homes alongside densification. An estimated ratio of 321 people per dwelling approval underscores a comparatively tranquil, modest-pace development backdrop. Longer-term forecasts project that Brendale will welcome an additional 1,458 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction volumes appear well-calibrated to future residential needs, supporting balanced market conditions without triggering sharp price escalations.

2,095 residents of Brendale are employed, from a labour force of 2,283. Unemployment sits at 8.2%, with participation at 69.8%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 11,320, about 2.8 times the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Brendale maintains a skilled resident workforce with significant participation in essential services, recording an unemployment rate of 8.2% and a 6.1% increase in estimated employment over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch statistical area data. There were 2,095 employed residents as of March 2026, while the jobless rate was 3.9% higher than the Greater Brisbane level of 4.3%, pointing to potential for workforce absorption. Labour force participation matched Greater Brisbane at 70.1%. At the Census, only 13.0% of workers indicated working from home, though this figure reflects the context of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Retail trade represents a notable area of local concentration, showing a concentration 1.3 times the regional standard. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for 5.7% of the workforce, below the regional benchmark of 8.9%. Recording 4.2 workers for every resident as of the Census, the precinct serves as a major employment destination that draws in a substantial daily workforce from neighboring communities. According to AreaSearch evaluations that combine Salm and ABS figures from wider statistical regions, the twelve-month span recorded a 6.1% rise in employment and a 4.4% expansion in the labour force, which together led to a 1.5 percentage point decline in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2%, a labour force increase of 3.4%, and an unemployment rise of 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in Brendale. These projections, which span five and ten-year intervals, have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to gauge expected growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Brendale's current employment composition, local employment is anticipated to rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, with the caveat that this figure reflects a straightforward weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 28 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,100 at the 2021 Census → 4,051 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 Aug 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 (SAL30367). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
