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.

Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Burpengary East is estimated to house approximately 13,875 individuals as of Aug 2026. Comparing this to the 2021 Census figure of 9,654 people indicates an expansion of 4,221 people (43.7%). This calculation stems from an estimated resident base of 13,408 following the ABS release of June 2025 ERP figures, alongside 1,463 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. With a density of 462 persons per square kilometer, the suburb provides ample room per resident as well as scope for future expansion.
The 43.7% post-2021 census expansion recorded in the suburb of Burpengary East outpaced both state and national benchmarks (9.5%), positioning it among the region's fastest-growing localities. Inflow from interstate migrants served as the foremost growth catalyst, accounting for roughly 78.0% of recent population additions, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also yielded positive gains. Projections compiled by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 (using 2022 as their baseline) for individual SA2 boundaries. For unrepresented SA2 regions or periods beyond post-2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are used instead. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch weights demographic distribution against the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data). Long-term demographic forecasts place the suburb of Burpengary East within the upper 10 percent of all statistical areas tracked by AreaSearch, with aggregated SA2 models projecting an addition of 9,050 persons to 2041, representing overall growth of 61.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,527 new dwellings have been approved in Burpengary East over the past five years, an average of 305 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 22 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 297 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 80% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 406, running ahead of 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 by AreaSearch of ABS residential approval statistics aggregated across statistical boundaries indicates that Burpengary East has recorded approximately 305 annual dwelling approvals on average, amounting to 1,527 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 406 approvals have been logged. Across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, the locality registered 2.8 new residents annually for every home delivered, underscoring solid underlying demand that underpins local property values, with newly constructed residences averaging an expected construction cost of $407,000. In addition, $36.2 million in commercial building approvals have been sanctioned during the current financial year, highlighting substantial momentum in non-residential construction.
Detached houses make up 80.0% of recent residential building activity compared to 20.0% for medium-to-high density attached dwellings, sustaining the spacious suburban character favoured by buyers seeking larger allotments. Generating approximately 28 people per dwelling approval, Burpengary East displays the hallmarks of an active residential growth corridor. Based on the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch, forward demographic projections estimate that Burpengary East will welcome 8,583 residents through to 2041. The prevailing pipeline of construction appears well aligned with long-term housing requirements, sustaining balanced property market fundamentals and mitigating extreme price escalation.

North Harbour Priority Development Area
The North Harbour Priority Development Area (PDA) is a 2.74 billion dollar master-planned waterfront community in Burpengary East, formally declared by the Queensland Government on 30 July 2025. The PDA covers approximately 420 hectares of land on the eastern side of the Bruce Highway, bordered by the Caboolture River to the north and east, and is an extension of the established North Harbour development. The PDA Interim Land Use Plan is now in effect and divides the area into two precincts: Precinct 1 (Residential) enabling around 200 homes in an Early Release Area, and Precinct 2 (Investigation) covering the balance of the PDA where development is restricted until the PDA Development Scheme is finalised.The full plan provides for around 3,700 new homes including villas, detached homes and apartments, a 400-berth marina with a dry stacker for 500 boats and 511 private pontoons, marine industry, retail, tourism, hotel development and significant public open space.

6,987 residents of Burpengary East are employed, from a labour force of 7,192. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 65.3%. 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 11,541, about 83% 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 East maintains a diverse employment foundation across blue-collar and professional occupations, underpinned by substantial representation in building and construction, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and annual job growth estimated at 6.4% via AreaSearch statistical data aggregation. As of March 2026, 6,987 residents are employed, local joblessness sits 1.5% under the 4.3% benchmark for Greater Brisbane, while labour market participation trails broader trends (65.3% versus 70.1% across Greater Brisbane). Census statistics showed that 15.1% of local workers performed their duties from home, though this was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.
Resident workers are primarily concentrated within retail trade, construction, as well as health care & social assistance. Building and construction features exceptionally high local concentration, employing personnel at 1.6 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, engaging 4.3% of the local workforce relative to 8.9% regionally. Comparing resident headcount to local workplace positions from Census counts illustrates that this predominantly suburban residential community offers limited employment opportunities within its own borders. AreaSearch analysis combining ABS and SALM statistical area data shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, resident employment expanded by 6.4% while the workforce expanded by 6.8%, driving an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. Over the same period, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.2% alongside labour force expansion of 3.4%, lifting joblessness by 0.1 percentage point. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national industry projections from Mar-26 provide context regarding potential employment trends for Burpengary East. These nationwide models anticipate workforce growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across different industries. Mapping these sector-specific forecasts onto the local industry structure suggests employment among Burpengary East residents could expand by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this is an illustrative weighting model and excludes local demographic 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 — 1,463 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,654 at the 2021 Census → 13,875 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 (SAL30452). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
