Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. 375 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,077 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 the analysis of demographic updates from the ABS for the wider region, along with address validations by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Buderim has an estimated population of 32,927 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 1,497 residents (4.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 31,430 individuals. The calculation relies on a resident population of 32,880, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures plus 375 additional validated new addresses after the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 1,076 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical benchmarks recorded in AreaSearch assessments.

The population expansion in the area was chiefly driven by interstate migration, representing approximately 56.99999999999999% of the overall population growth in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline data) are used by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, or for years past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023, based on 2022 figures. Looking at future demographic trends, population growth is anticipated to be slightly below the national median for regional areas, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating the suburb of Buderim will add 3,389 residents by 2041, representing a total rise of 10.2% over the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Buderim

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

16,688 residents of Buderim are employed, from a labour force of 17,079. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 62.4%.

Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.8% of the workforce, which is lower than the 4.5% rate in Regional Qld. Comparing the resident workforce to the local working population suggests that this largely residential area offers limited local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026 indicates that the local labor force contracted by 2.7% and total employment fell by 3.2%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a baseline for future worker demand in Buderim. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth.

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 — 375 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (31,430 at the 2021 Census → 32,927 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 (SAL30408). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Buderim suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Buderim page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Buderim data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
