Edens Landing

An assessment of population growth drivers in Edens Landing reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

As per AreaSearch's analysis of ABS population updates and new addresses validated, the population of Edens Landing is estimated at around 5,719 as of February 2026. This figure represents an increase of 625 people (12.3%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,094. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 5,662 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 4 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 2,225 persons per square kilometer, higher than the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb's growth rate of 12.3% since the 2021 census exceeds both the national average (9.9%) and state averages, positioning it as a growth leader in the region. Interstate migration contributed approximately 54.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration being positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted, with proportional growth weightings applied for age cohorts. Future population dynamics anticipate a significant increase in Edens Landing's top quartile of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, with an expected increase of 1,821 persons to 2041, reflecting an overall increase of 36.2% over the 17 years.
