This represents an expansion of 586 people (7.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 7,623 people.

This population size corresponds to a density ratio of 3,854 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, showing that land here is a highly sought-after resource. The 7.7% growth of the suburb of Bulimba since the census positions it within 1.6 percentage points of the national average (9.3%), indicating competitive growth fundamentals. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth for the area, contributing approximately 84.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilises ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used. Note that these state-level projections lack age breakdowns; consequently, when they are applied, AreaSearch distributes growth across age groups based on proportional weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, using 2022 data). Looking at future demographic patterns, population growth for the suburb of Bulimba is projected to exceed the median of national statistical areas, with the locality expected to add 1,193 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, which represents an overall growth of 13.9% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bulimba

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

133 new dwellings have been approved in Bulimba over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 31, broadly in line with 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, the locality has averaged approximately 26 residential property approvals annually, cumulative to an estimated 133 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 29 approvals recorded. With an average of 2.8 new residents added per year for every dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating strong demand that supports property values, newly built homes carry an average expected construction cost of $976,000, showing that developers are focusing on high-end properties for the premium market.

Commercial approvals for this financial year have reached $9.3 million, highlighting the residential nature of the area. In comparison to Greater Brisbane, the locality registers about 67% of the per capita construction activity, ranking in the 43rd percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which means fewer options for prospective buyers and supports demand for existing properties. This level is also below the national average, pointing to the established nature of the area and indicating potential planning constraints. Recent building activity consists of 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% townhouses or apartments. This emphasis on higher-density options provides more accessible price points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. With approximately 379 people per approval, the locality displays a mature market. Looking forward, the locality is projected to add 1,145 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). At current rates of construction, housing supply might struggle to keep pace with population growth, which could intensify competition among buyers and support price growth.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Bulimba

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

5,183 residents of Bulimba are employed, from a labour force of 5,308. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 76.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years.

The working-day population is estimated at 6,953, 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

The local workforce is highly educated, featuring a strong concentration of professional services, an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.7% over the last year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 5,183 employed residents, and the unemployment rate is 2.0% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 76.6% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane.

The primary employment industries for residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training.

Conversely, health care & social assistance is under-represented, employing only 13.1% of the local workforce compared to 16.1% across Greater Brisbane. The heavily residential nature of the area seems to limit local job opportunities, as shown by the comparison between the Census working population and the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data compiled from broader statistical areas, employment levels grew by 1.7% and the labour force expanded by 2.3% during the year to March 2026, leading to a 0.6 percentage point rise in unemployment. This differs from Greater Brisbane, where employment grew by 3.2%, the labour force expanded by 3.4%, and unemployment increased by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide additional context on future demand in the area. These five and ten-year projections have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of growth vary considerably by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests employment for residents should rise by 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative 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 — 103 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,623 at the 2021 Census → 8,209 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 (SAL30412). 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 Bulimba 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 Bulimba 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 Bulimba 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.
