Overseas migration accounts for 51.0% of that increase. That puts 4,043 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

Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of the suburb of Gordon Park is approximately 4,649 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 259 individuals (5.9%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,390 residents. The variation is deduced from the resident population of 4,649, calculated by AreaSearch after examining the latest ABS ERP data release (June 2025) and incorporating an extra 27 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population size corresponds to a density of 4,042 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch, indicating highly contested land resources.

The 5.9% expansion in the suburb of Gordon Park since the census is within 2.1 percentage points of the SA3 area (8.0%), showcasing competitive growth characteristics. Growth in the suburb of Gordon Park was chiefly driven by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 51.0% of the total population increase over recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for years after 2032, Queensland State Government projections released in 2023 and based on 2021 records are applied. These state projections omit age cohort breakdowns; consequently, AreaSearch applies proportional growth distributions matching the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (utilizing 2022 data) for each age bracket. Factoring in these projected demographic changes, a population rise slightly below the national median is anticipated, with the area projected to grow by 446 individuals to 2041 according to combined SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 9.6% across the 16 years.

Based on building approval metrics from the ABS allocated to local areas, Gordon Park has averaged approximately 12 new dwellings approved annually, with 60 homes approved in the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 9 recorded during FY-26 so far.

Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $6.7 million were registered this financial year, reinforcing the residential focus of the suburb. Compared with Greater Brisbane, Gordon Park registers roughly 63% of the construction activity per resident, ranking in the 15th percentile of locations analyzed nationwide, which translates to fewer purchasing options and reinforces demand for existing stock.

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 — 27 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,390 at the 2021 Census → 4,649 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 (SAL31210). 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 Gordon Park 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 Gordon Park 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 Gordon Park 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.
