Everton Park

Everton Park lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, Everton Park's population is estimated at around 11,186 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 1,075 people (10.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,111 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 11,066 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 222 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,601 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Everton Park's 10.6% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA4 region (9.0%) and the national average, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 47.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Considering the projected demographic shifts, an above median population growth of Australian statistical areas is projected, with Everton Park expected to increase by 2,404 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 20.4% in total over the 17 years.
