Burdell has an estimated 9,185 residents, up from 7,171 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,014 people, or 28.1%. Growth has averaged 4.9% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 543 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
In the suburb of Burdell, the resident count stands at approximately 9,185 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 7,171 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 2,014 people (28.1%). That trajectory builds upon an ERP figure of 8,992 calculated by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS release from June 2025, alongside 543 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Across the suburb of Burdell, population density reaches 492 persons per square kilometer, preserving ample physical room alongside opportunities for additional building.
The locality outpaced both the broader SA3 territory and the wider SA4 region (7.2%) with its 28.1% gain since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional pace-setter. Natural increase formed the principal growth engine, supplying around 47.0% of recent population additions, while overseas migration and interstate migration likewise registered positive inputs. Population projections for each SA2 district applied by AreaSearch originate from 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia figures pegged to 2022 as a foundation year. Wherever SA2 districts fall outside this framework, or for timeframes beyond post-2032, models incorporate Queensland State Government projections released in 2023 that utilize 2021 numbers. Because these state figures do not provide breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch distributes age cohorts based on proportional weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (issued in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, long-term demographic modelling places the suburb of Burdell within the premier 10 percent of regional Australian districts for growth, with aggregated SA2 estimates projecting an increase of 4,698 persons to 2041, representing a total rise of 49.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
535 new dwellings have been approved in Burdell over the past five years, an average of 107 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 86 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 102, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that residential construction in Burdell averaged approximately 107 new dwelling approvals per annum, amounting to an estimated 535 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 102 approvals have been registered. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 4.5 new residents arrived annually per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years, showing that underlying demand considerably outstrips building delivery—a dynamic that typically escalates purchasing competition and applies upward pressure on values. At the same time, newly approved residences exhibit an average construction value of $441,000, sitting below regional benchmarks to deliver more accessible entry points for buyers.
Commercial building approvals have also totaled $9.3 million this financial year, demonstrating balanced non-residential development. On a per-capita basis, Burdell registered 155.0% more new home approvals relative to Rest of Qld, presenting broad inventory for prospective buyers. This elevated level significantly exceeds the national benchmark and underscores considerable developer faith in the local market. The residential pipeline comprises 91.0% standalone homes alongside 9.0% attached dwellings, maintaining low-density living with a focus on detached homes that appeal to purchasers seeking space. With a ratio of approximately 87 people per dwelling approval, Burdell exhibits classic attributes of an active growth area. Demographic projections indicate that Burdell will expand by 4,505 residents through to 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction activity aligns closely with long-term housing requirements, sustaining balanced conditions and avoiding severe market strain.

5,028 residents of Burdell are employed, from a labour force of 5,108. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 74.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 7,295, about 79% 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
Burdell features a capable local workforce anchored by essential services, registering a low unemployment rate of 1.6% and consistent job market performance across the prior twelve months, based on statistical area compilations by AreaSearch. Employment figures for March 2026 show 5,028 residents actively working, with the local jobless rate tracking 2.3% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor force participation is also notably high at 74.8%, outperforming the Regional Qld level of 64.2%. Census records show only 4.5% of working residents based from home, though this metric was subject to Covid-19 lockdown influences.
The primary industry sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training. Specialization in public administration & safety is pronounced, capturing a workforce proportion 3.6 times the regional rate. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.2% of local workers compared to 4.5% regionally. Comparing Census working population tallies against resident numbers suggests the immediate area provides a limited pool of direct employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM records across surrounding statistical zones, the year leading to March 2026 witnessed a 0.3% rise in employment and a 0.5% expansion in the labour force, yielding a 0.2 percentage points lift in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment alongside a 0.3% rise in the labour force, while unemployment climbed 0.1 percentage points. Long-term perspective is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26, which project nationwide employment to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Mapping these national industry trajectories against the local workforce mix suggests Burdell employment would expand by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighted calculation that excludes local population adjustments).

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 — 543 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,171 at the 2021 Census → 9,185 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 (SAL30441). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
