DemographicsPopulation Growth in Burpengary

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Burpengary has an estimated 19,384 residents, up from 16,488 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,896 people, or 17.6%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 719 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 64.0% of that increase. That puts 868 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 Burpengary has an estimated population of around 19,384, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS updates and verified address additions since the Census. This marks an addition of 2,896 people (17.6%) compared to the 16,488 people counted during the 2021 Census. AreaSearch deduced this expansion from a resident base of 19,133 determined via the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 719 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. Population density stands at 868 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with broader benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations.

Surpassing both national (9.5%) and Queensland growth rates, the 17.6% surge since the 2021 census positions the area at the forefront of regional expansion. Net interstate arrivals served as the dominant catalyst by accounting for roughly 64.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. Projections for each SA2 location rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, while Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts from 2023 (utilising 2021 figures) are applied for years post-2032 or areas without federal coverage. Because state datasets omit cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch incorporates age-specific proportional distributions from the ABS Greater Capital Region series (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Demographic models place the suburb of Burpengary within the highest quartile nationally for future gains, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an expansion of 6,283 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 31.1% across the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Burpengary

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

10,357 residents of Burpengary are employed, from a labour force of 10,687. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 68.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 16,736, about 86% 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

Burpengary maintains a diverse employment base across both white-collar and manual professions, led notably by the construction industry, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.1% and annual jobs growth estimated at 4.7% per AreaSearch statistical aggregations.

Remote work was reported by 12.8% of employed persons at the Census, although Covid-19 lockdown circumstances must be taken into account. The primary employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.

Construction represents a major local specialization, engaging a workforce proportion 1.5 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.5% of local employment relative to 8.9% throughout Greater Brisbane. Comparing Census counts of resident workers against local workplace positions indicates limited employment capacity within the immediate district. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM statistical releases shows that across the 12-month period, local employment grew by 4.7% while the labor pool expanded by 5.0%, causing an unemployment increase of 0.3 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded 3.2% employment growth and a 3.4% rise in its workforce, with unemployment edging up 0.1 percentage points. Looking further ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia forecasts from Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements. Modeling these national five- and ten-year sectoral outlooks (6.6% and 13.7% overall growth, respectively) against the local industry structure suggests employment gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, representing an illustrative industry-weighted extrapolation without 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 — 719 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,488 at the 2021 Census → 19,384 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 (SAL30451). 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 Burpengary 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 Burpengary 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 Burpengary 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 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.
