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
Kallangur has an estimated 23,991 residents, up from 21,761 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,230 people, or 10.2%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 240 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 41.0% of that increase. That puts 2,125 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 investigations of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region, combined with fresh locations verified by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Kallangur has a residency estimated at approximately 23,991 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 2,230 people (10.2%) from the 2021 Census, when the recorded population stood at 21,761 people. The variation is deduced from a resident base of 23,481, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP data published by the ABS (June 2025) plus an extra 240 validated new addresses post-Census. Such population volumes yield a density of 2,125 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical ratio across nationwide spots evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 10.2% growth rate in the suburb of Kallangur since the 2021 census was quicker than the national trend (9.3%), positioning it as a leading growth zone. Demographic expansion was mostly propelled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 41.0% of the total population rise in recent times, though all components including overseas migration and interstate migration remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for periods past 2032, Queensland Government SA2 projections, published in 2023 utilizing 2021 details, are implemented. These state-level forecasts do not segment populations by age groups; consequently, where applied, AreaSearch distributes growth weightings proportionally based on the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 details) for each age cohort. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, substantial population expansion is anticipated within the highest quartile of locations reviewed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Kallangur projected to grow by 6,350 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 24.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
361 new dwellings have been approved in Kallangur over the past five years, an average of 72 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 63 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 30% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, 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 numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Kallangur has recorded around 72 residential properties granted approval each year, totalling an estimated 361 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 32 approvals have been recorded. With an average of 3.9 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand significantly exceeds new supply, which usually results in price growth and increased buyer competition, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $344,000.
Also, $142,000 in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Recent construction comprises 30.0% standalone homes and 70.0% attached dwellings. This skew toward compact living offers affordable entry pathways and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This marks a significant departure from existing housing patterns (currently 74.0% houses), suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. At around 323 people per approval, Kallangur reflects a transitioning market. Future projections show Kallangur adding 5,840 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.

The main construction contract was awarded to a joint venture of Albem Operations and SCQ. As of April 2026, traffic switches onto newly built lanes are underway, with the project supporting up to 340 jobs during construction.
Kallangur-Dakabin Neighbourhood Planning Project
A neighbourhood planning initiative that has successfully created a Future Directions Report to guide growth and development in Kallangur-Dakabin. The area is projected to grow by 10,400 people by 2041, bringing the population to an estimated 38,000 residents. The endorsed report establishes a shared vision, strategies and actions for the area while considering local character and identity, with current population of 29,344 as of June 2024.
11,823 residents of Kallangur are employed, from a labour force of 13,265. Unemployment sits at 10.9%, with participation at 69.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,236, about 80% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Kallangur features a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of 10.9%, and 0.6% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 11,823 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 6.5% above Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, showing room for improvement, and workforce participation is broadly similar to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%. Based on Census responses, a low 12.3% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The dominant employment sectors among residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in retail trade, with employment levels at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical shows lower representation at 5.0% versus the regional average of 8.9%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 0.6% while labour force increased by 0.3%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2% and labour force growth of 3.4%, with a 0.1 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Kallangur. 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 Kallangur's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% 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 — 240 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (21,761 at the 2021 Census → 23,991 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 (SAL31475). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
