Sales Detail
Elanora has an estimated 13,260 residents, up from 12,539 at the 2021 Census — a change of 721 people, or 5.8%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 58.0% of that increase. That puts 1,465 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
Based on an evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new address files validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Elanora is estimated to stand at approximately 13,260 in May 2026. This marks an expansion of 721 residents (5.8%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 12,539 individuals. The shift is calculated from the resident population of 13,260, which AreaSearch estimated after reviewing the ABS's latest ERP data release from June 2025 and incorporating an extra 3 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density ratio of 1,465 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical average among national locations analyzed by AreaSearch. Population growth in the suburb of Elanora was mostly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 57.99999999999999% of all population increases over recent times. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized instead. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age category, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, using 2022 data) to each age cohort. Looking ahead at demographic trends, the suburb of Elanora is projected to experience a population rise slightly under the median for regional areas nationwide, with combined SA2-level projections indicating the suburb of Elanora will grow by 1,464 residents up to 2041, representing a total increase of 11.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
82 new dwellings have been approved in Elanora over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, well below 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
According to an analysis of building approvals from the ABS allocated from statistical area records, Elanora has seen an average of roughly 16 new residential approvals annually. This includes an estimated 82 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 6 approvals registered in FY-26 so far. Over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), an average of 6.4 people moved to the area for every built dwelling, meaning demand is outpacing supply by a wide margin, which generally drives up prices and increases buyer competition.
Concurrently, new dwellings are carrying an average estimated construction cost of $547,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium portion of the market. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $9.1 million have been recorded during this financial year, highlighting that the area maintains its residential character. Newly approved developments are divided between 32.0% detached houses and 68.0% medium and high-density dwellings. This emphasis on denser housing options provides more cost-effective entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the existing housing stock (which is currently 79.0% houses), reflecting a scarcer supply of development sites and adapting to changing buyer preferences and affordability constraints. The locality registers approximately 2031 individuals for every approved dwelling, indicating a mature market. Long-term forecasts indicate that Elanora will gain 1,464 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If the current pace of development persists, the supply of housing may struggle to keep up with this population increase, which could intensify competition among buyers and support price growth.

7,030 residents of Elanora are employed, from a labour force of 7,232. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 67.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,097, about 84% 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
Elanora is characterized by a workforce with high skill levels and a solid representation in key service sectors, featuring an unemployment rate of only 2.8% and an estimated employment growth of 3.3% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch statistical area data aggregation. By March 2026, 7,030 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 1.1% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, with workforce participation sitting at a normal level (67.7% relative to 64.3% in Regional Qld). According to Census figures, a moderate 15.0% of the employed population worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
The top employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The local workforce displays a high concentration in construction, with its share of employment sitting at 1.3 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, employing only 0.4% of Elanora's workers compared to 4.5% in Regional Qld. This residential locality appears to have a shortage of jobs within its borders, as shown by comparing the count of the Census working population against the resident population. Based on an analysis of SALM and ABS data compiled from broader statistical regions, the year ending March 2026 saw local employment levels grow by 3.3% while the labour force expanded by 3.2%, keeping the overall unemployment rate steady. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced employment expansion of 0.1% and labour force expansion of 0.3%, with its unemployment rate increasing by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context on prospective future demand in Elanora. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local industry profile to estimate future growth patterns. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry projections to Elanora's specific employment structure suggests that local employment would expand by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,539 at the 2021 Census → 13,260 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.
