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 5,581 residents, up from 4,944 at the 2021 Census — a change of 637 people, or 12.9%. Growth has averaged 5.3% a year over five years, faster than 80% of areas nationally. 247 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 76.0% of that increase. That puts 1,128 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
Based on examination of ABS population updates for the wider region, and new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch since the Census, Heathwood's population is estimated at approximately 5,581 as of May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 637 people (12.9%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 4,944 people. This shift is calculated from the resident population of 5,552, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the most recent ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 247 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population translates to a density ratio of 1,127 persons per square kilometer, which is highly consistent with averages observed across places evaluated by AreaSearch.
Heathwood's 12.9% expansion since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (9.3%), as well as the state, positioning it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was chiefly driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 76.0% of total population gains during recent times, though all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive contributors. AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, as published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, published in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are utilized. It should be noted that these state projections do not supply age category splits; therefore where used, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. As future population trends are analyzed, a population increase just below the median of Australian statistical areas is anticipated, with the area expected to expand by 559 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing an increase of 9.5% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
461 new dwellings have been approved in Heathwood over the past five years, an average of 92 a year. That places the area in the 90th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 106 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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 analysis of ABS building approval figures, allocated from statistical area data, the suburb of Heathwood has averaged approximately 92 new dwelling approvals each year, totaling an estimated 461 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 14 approvals have been recorded. With an average of 2.7 people per year moving to the area per new home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating strong demand that supports property values, new homes are being built at an average value of $496,000, revealing that developers are targeting the premium market segment with higher-end properties.
There have also been $117.0 million in commercial approvals this financial year, demonstrating high levels of local commercial activity. When compared against Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Heathwood has 96.0% more construction activity (per person), presenting buyers with greater choice, although development activity has moderated in recent periods. This activity is significantly above the national average, indicating robust developer interest in the area. Meanwhile, recent building activity consists entirely of standalone homes, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. The location has approximately 121 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. Looking ahead, the suburb of Heathwood is expected to grow by 530 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

2,426 residents of Heathwood are employed, from a labour force of 2,525. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 65.7%. 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. 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 has a highly educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, and an unemployment rate of only 3.9%, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,426 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.4% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (65.7% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 17.6% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Leading employment industries among residents comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical.
The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in health care & social assistance, with employment levels at 1.3 times the regional average. Meanwhile, construction has limited presence with 6.1% employment compared to 9.0% regionally. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw labour force decreasing by 9.6% while employment declined by 9.8%, causing unemployment to rise by 0.2 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Brisbane, where employment rose by 3.2%, the labour force grew by 3.4%, and unemployment rose 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Heathwood. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Heathwood's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 247 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,944 at the 2021 Census → 5,581 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.
