This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Heathwood has an estimated 5,639 residents, up from 4,944 at the 2021 Census — a change of 695 people, or 14.1%. Growth has averaged 5.5% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. 262 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 76.0% of that increase. That puts 1,139 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside post-Census validated new addresses, the suburb of Heathwood reached an estimated population of 5,639 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 4,944 residents counted in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 695 people (14.1%). This calculation builds upon an estimated resident population of 5,610 determined from the ABS ERP release in June 2025 together with 262 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,139 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch study areas.
With a 14.1% expansion rate since the 2021 census, the suburb of Heathwood outpaced the nationwide figure of 9.5% as well as state levels, establishing itself as a regional growth hotspot. Net interstate migration served as the core growth engine by generating approximately 76.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 series based on 2022 figures. For locations outside this dataset and beyond 2032, figures reference the Queensland State Government 2023 SA2 release based on 2021 benchmarks. Because state datasets omit cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age-group weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (2022 base). Looking ahead, long-term demographic modelling indicates growth tracking slightly under the national median, with the suburb of Heathwood projected to expand by 531 persons to 2041 across aggregated SA2 data, representing an 8.9% gain over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
605 new dwellings have been approved in Heathwood over the past five years, an average of 121 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 21 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 117 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 99% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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
Based on AreaSearch's compilation of ABS building approvals across statistical areas, residential building activity in Heathwood has averaged approximately 121 new dwellings per annum, totalling an estimated 605 approved dwellings across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 18 approvals logged during FY-25 to date. Over these past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the suburb recorded an average annual inflow of 2.2 residents per newly constructed residence, pointing to solid underlying demand that underpins local property values. Newly approved dwellings reflect an average construction value of $535,000, standing marginally above regional averages and pointing towards higher-standard construction.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $117.0 million within the current financial year, underscoring substantial non-residential investment. Per capita residential building approvals in Heathwood exceed the Greater Brisbane benchmark by 207.0%, offering substantial purchasing options to incoming buyers despite a recent tapering in construction activity. This approval rate also sits significantly above national levels, demonstrating strong builder and developer appetite. Standalone houses account for 99.0% of new residential development approvals, while semi-detached dwellings or apartments constitute 1.0%, preserving the traditional low-density suburban landscape oriented towards families wanting larger allotments. Generating approximately 182 people per approved dwelling, Heathwood continues to exhibit the hallmarks of an expanding growth precinct. Projections indicate that Heathwood will add 502 new inhabitants through to 2041, measured against the most recent AreaSearch quarterly baseline. Prevailing construction patterns indicate that residential supply will comfortably absorb projected demand, delivering favourable market conditions for buyers and potentially supporting demographic expansion above baseline forecasts.

2,570 residents of Heathwood are employed, from a labour force of 2,675. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 67.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Heathwood possesses an educated resident workforce with substantial concentration across essential industries and an unemployment rate standing at only 3.9%, based on AreaSearch's statistical area syntheses. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,570, while local unemployment sat 0.4% lower than Greater Brisbane's 4.3%. Labour force participation was somewhat subdued at 67.7%, compared with 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. Census records indicate that 17.6% of workers worked from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. Local workforce participation is heavily clustered within health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical services.
Heathwood displays pronounced industry concentration in health care & social assistance, where its employment proportion reaches 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, construction employment is less prevalent, comprising 6.1% locally versus 9.0% regionally. Comparing local working population counts against resident totals indicates that a substantial share of workers commute outside the area for employment. AreaSearch's evaluation of combined SALM and ABS datasets reveals that the local labour force contracted by 7.9% over the 12-month period alongside an 8.1% drop in employed residents, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.3 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded employment gains of 3.2% and labour force expansion of 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide further context regarding prospective occupational demand in Heathwood. When these industry-specific five-year (6.6% nationally) and ten-year (13.7% nationally) outlooks are weighted against Heathwood's industry distribution, projected local employment expansion is estimated at 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (noting this represents a proportional extrapolation for illustrative modeling without factoring in local demographic shifts).

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 — 262 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,944 at the 2021 Census → 5,639 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 Aug 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 (SAL31311). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
