DemographicsPopulation Growth in Geebung

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Geebung has an estimated 4,976 residents, up from 4,850 at the 2021 Census — a change of 126 people, or 2.6%. That puts 1,313 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

Following an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region and new address data validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Geebung is estimated to stand at approximately 4,976 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 126 people (2.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,850 people. The variation is calculated from the resident population of 4,976, which was estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside an additional 39 validated new addresses since the Census date.

This population level translates to a density ratio of 1,312 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical average across national areas monitored by AreaSearch. Recent population growth in the area was majorly driven by overseas migration, which made up approximately 80.0% of all population increases. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are utilized for any SA2 areas missing from the federal dataset and for all years past 2032. Since these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings matching the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using a 2022 base year) for each age cohort. Looking at future demographic trends, projections show a drop in the overall population, with the suburb of Geebung projected to lose 57 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, expansion is projected in particular age cohorts, led by the 75 to 84 age group, which is expected to increase by 114 people. Refer to the age section for extra details.

Detail

According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval figures allocated from statistical area data, the suburb of Geebung has recorded an average of roughly 12 new dwelling approvals annually, resulting in an estimated 60 homes over the last 5 financial years.

The working-day population is estimated at 6,895, about 139% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

The suburb of Geebung has a highly educated labor force with a strong representation of essential services industries, an unemployment rate of just 3.4%, and an estimated employment growth rate of 8.2% over the last year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data.

The region shows a notable specialization in public administration & safety, with an employment share that is 1.2 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, retail trade is less represented, accounting for 8.5% compared to the regional average of 9.4%. Boasting 1.4 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, the locality operates as a key employment hub, generating more jobs than it has working residents and drawing in commuters from surrounding districts. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from wider statistical areas, during the year ending March 2026, local employment numbers rose by 8.2% and the labor force grew by 7.1%, which led to a 1.0 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2%, the labor force expand by 3.4%, and unemployment rise by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in the area. These five and ten-year projections have been compared against the local employment profile to estimate growth pathways. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary widely by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment composition suggests that employment in the area should rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, which is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustration purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 39 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,850 at the 2021 Census → 4,976 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL31108). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Geebung suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Geebung page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Geebung data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
