Sales Detail
Edge Hill has an estimated 4,036 residents, down from 4,088 at the 2021 Census — a change of 52 people, or 1.3%. That puts 1,602 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside 19 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census, the suburb of Edge Hill has an estimated population of approximately 4,036 as of Aug 2026. This figure indicates a reduction of 52 people (1.3%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 4,088 people. That variation is derived from an AreaSearch resident baseline of 4,032 generated via the ABS June 2025 ERP update alongside post-Census address additions. The local living density corresponds to 1,601 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than typical benchmarks nationwide across AreaSearch assessments.
Inward overseas migration served as the primary demographic driver recently, accounting for around 97.0% of total local population additions. Projections developed by the ABS/Geoscience Australia from 2024 using 2022 as a base are applied at the SA2 level, while Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2023 from 2021 data cover remaining areas and timeframes beyond 2032. Because state series omit cohort details, AreaSearch allocates proportional weighting by age cohort using the ABS Greater Capital Region 2023 release based on 2022 benchmarks. Looking ahead, demographic growth for the suburb of Edge Hill is projected to exceed the median for national non-metropolitan locations, gaining 607 persons to 2041 under consolidated SA2 figures, which translates to a 14.9% overall expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
27 new dwellings have been approved in Edge Hill over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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
Statistical area records processed by AreaSearch reveal that Edge Hill recorded an annual mean of roughly 5 residential building approvals, representing 27 homes across the past 5 financial years combined. Within FY-25 to date, 4 approvals have been lodged. With no new residents per year per dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25 over the prior 5 financial years, residential completions are comfortably meeting or surpassing local demand, providing abundant options for buyers and accommodating potential demographic expansion beyond current expectations. Newly approved residential structures carry an average construction value of $632,000, sitting moderately above regional benchmarks and highlighting quality builds, alongside $469,000 in non-residential commercial approvals lodged this financial year to reinforce the district's residential character.
Edge Hill exhibits a noticeably subdued level of construction activity when contrasted with Rest of Qld, trailing regional per-capita figures by 69.0%. This curtailed pipeline of new housing typically underpins demand and pricing resilience for existing properties. Construction volumes also lag the national benchmark, reflecting a mature urban footprint and potential town planning limitations. Furthermore, recent building activity has consisted entirely of detached houses, preserving the neighborhood's suburban fabric with freestanding homes aimed at families wanting spacious living. Detached dwellings make up a greater proportion of current construction than existing stock distributions (70.0% at Census), underscoring sustained appetite for family houses in a mature market containing roughly 807 people per dwelling approval. Demographic projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update indicate that Edge Hill is slated to add 603 residents through to 2041. Should construction proceed at its present pace, the supply of new dwellings could fall short of resident inflows, which may intensify competition among prospective purchasers and bolster upward price momentum.

2,256 residents of Edge Hill are employed, from a labour force of 2,337. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 67.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,141, about 78% 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
A highly qualified labor force characterizes Edge Hill, supported by strong representation across essential services and an unemployment rate of merely 3.5%, according to AreaSearch's statistical area syntheses. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,256, while local joblessness sat 0.4% beneath the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld. Labor force participation is typical at 67.7%, outperforming the Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Census figures also indicated that 17.4% of employed locals conducted their work remotely, though this metric should be viewed alongside the prevailing impacts of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Locals are primarily employed across health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The workforce demonstrates an exceptional concentration in health care & social assistance, holding an employment share 1.5 times the regional norm. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing claims a comparatively small share of 0.7%, versus the 4.5% observed regionally. Given the disparity between resident workers and the local Census working population, this predominantly residential neighborhood provides relatively few local commercial jobs. Synthesized ABS and SALM figures compiled by AreaSearch indicate that in the year to March 2026, Edge Hill experienced a 2.6% contraction in its labor pool along with a 3.8% drop in employment, lifting the jobless rate by 1.3 percentage points. During the same timeframe, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% employment gain and a 0.3% labor force increase, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader labor trends can be evaluated using the Mar-26 national employment outlook from Jobs and Skills Australia mapped to the local industry profile. While economy-wide employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years with substantial sector variation, applying these industry weightings to Edge Hill's employment base indicates projected local increases of 7.2% over five years and 14.9% over ten years, representing an unadjusted weighting model that excludes localized 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,088 at the 2021 Census → 4,036 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 (SAL30941). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
