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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Cannonvale

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Cannonvale has an estimated 7,674 residents, up from 6,596 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,078 people, or 16.3%. Growth has averaged 2.9% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 152 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 58.0% of that increase. That puts 1,033 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

Drawing on investigations of demographic adjustments by the ABS for the wider region, alongside newly confirmed street addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count for the suburb of Cannonvale is calculated to be approximately 7,674 in May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 1,078 individuals (16.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 6,596 citizens. The variation is deduced from a resident base of 7,653, determined by AreaSearch after assessing the most recent ERP publication by the ABS (June 2025) plus an extra 152 validated new addresses registered since the Census date.

This size of population translates to a density of 1,032 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical values observed in locations evaluated by AreaSearch. The 16.3% rise in the suburb of Cannonvale since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (7.6%), as well as the Rest of Qld, establishing it as a primary growth center in the area. Demographic expansion in the locality was chiefly steered by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 57.99999999999999% of the overall population gains in recent times, though other forces such as natural increase and interstate arrivals also registered positive inputs. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia models for individual SA2 units, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, Queensland State Government projections for SA2 areas, published in 2023 using 2021 data, are utilized. It is worth noting that these state-level models omit age group breakdowns; consequently, when applied, AreaSearch distributes growth proportions matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 data) across each age bracket. Looking at future demographic trends, a substantial rise in residents is predicted for locations in the highest quartile outside major capital cities, with the suburb of Cannonvale projected to increase by 2,424 individuals up to 2041 based on compiled SA2-level data, showing a rise of 31.3% overall across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Cannonvale

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

250 new dwellings have been approved in Cannonvale over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 60% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 52, 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

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Cannonvale has recorded around 50 residential properties granted approval each year, with an estimated 250 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 48 so far in FY-26. Given an average of 4 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is substantially lagging demand, which generally means heightened buyer competition, leading to pricing pressures, while new homes are being built at an average value of $1,982,000, showing that developers are focusing on the premium market with high-end developments.

There have also been $80.6 million in commercial approvals this financial year, demonstrating high levels of local commercial activity. In comparison to the Rest of Qld, development rates per capita in Cannonvale are comparable, which sustains a market balance aligned with nearby localities, even though construction initiatives have slowed down of late. New construction projects comprise 60.0% standalone houses and 40.0% medium to high-density dwellings, reflecting a growing mix of connected housing options that supply choices at varied price points, ranging from spacious family residences to more affordable compact options. With approximately 360 individuals for every residential approval, Cannonvale exhibits a mature market. Moving forward, the resident count in Cannonvale is predicted to rise by 2,403 individuals by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection. At the current pace of construction, the volume of new housing may fail to keep up with demographic growth, which could intensify competition among buyers and underpin upward price movements.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Cannonvale

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

4,581 residents of Cannonvale are employed, from a labour force of 4,677. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 73.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% 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 5,591, about 73% 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

Cannonvale features a qualified labor force with substantial representation from the leisure and tourism sectors, a jobless rate of only 2.1%, and a yearly employment expansion estimated at 5.5% according to compiled statistical data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 4,581 employed residents, with the local jobless rate standing 1.9% below the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, and labor force participation reaching a high level of 73.9% relative to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a modest 8.0% of the working population operated from home, though the influence of pandemic lockdowns must be kept in mind.

The primary sectors employing local residents are accommodation and food services, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a particularly strong concentration in accommodation and food services, where employment density is 2.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, health care and social assistance is underrepresented, employing only 8.2% of the workforce in Cannonvale compared to 16.1% across Regional Qld. This largely residential locality appears to provide a constrained number of jobs internally, as shown by the relationship between the Census working population and resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regions, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, total employment grew by 5.5% while the active labor force grew by 6.1%, which led to an increase of 0.6 percentage points in the jobless rate. In contrast, Regional Qld saw employment grow by 0.1% and the labor force expand by 0.3%, with the jobless rate rising by 0.1 percentage points. National employment predictions released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on prospective demand trends in Cannonvale. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future growth. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of growth differ widely across separate industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Cannonvale yields a projected local job growth of 5.6% over five years and 11.9% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted calculation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 152 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,596 at the 2021 Census → 7,674 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 (SAL30521). 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 Cannonvale 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 Cannonvale 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 Cannonvale 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.
