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

As of November 2025, Everton Park's population is estimated at around 11,244. This reflects a growth of 1,133 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,111. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 11,061 as of June 2024, based on ABS ERP data, and an additional 222 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population translates to a density ratio of 2,614 persons per square kilometer, placing Everton Park in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Everton Park's growth of 11.2% since the 2021 census exceeded both the SA4 region (8.6%) and the national average. Overseas migration contributed approximately 47.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are adopted, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections are applied where utilised. Considering projected demographic shifts, Everton Park is expected to increase by 2,402 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 19.8% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Everton Park among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Everton Park recorded approximately 64 residential properties granted approval annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, around 324 homes were approved, with an additional 17 approved in FY-26. On average, 3.4 new residents arrived per dwelling constructed over the past five financial years.

This suggests supply is lagging demand, leading to heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures. The average construction value of new dwellings was $569,000, slightly above the regional average. In FY-26, $42.1 million in commercial development approvals were recorded, indicating robust local business investment. Everton Park's construction activity per person is comparable to Greater Brisbane, maintaining market equilibrium with surrounding areas. New developments consist of 42.0% detached houses and 58.0% townhouses or apartments, marking a shift from the existing housing pattern of 60.0% houses.

This trend may be due to diminishing developable land availability and evolving lifestyle preferences. With around 198 people per dwelling approval, Everton Park shows characteristics of a growth area. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Everton Park is projected to add 2,224 residents by 2041. Development is keeping pace with projected growth, but increasing competition among buyers can be expected as the population expands.
