Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. 123 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 1,888 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 evaluation of ABS demographic releases for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Kenmore is calculated to be approximately 10,404 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 729 people (7.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,675 people. The adjustment is derived from the resident population of 10,403, estimated by AreaSearch analyzing the latest ABS ERP figures (June 2025) along with 123 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. This population size represents a density of 1,888 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical average across countrywide locations analyzed by AreaSearch.

The 7.5% expansion rate in the suburb of Kenmore since the 2021 census was greater than the SA3 area (5.5%), making the locality a regional growth leader. Population increases were mostly driven by overseas migration, which was responsible for approximately 72.0% of the total demographic growth over recent times. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 areas without this coverage, and for years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government for SA2 areas, published in 2023 utilizing 2021 data, are used. These state-level projections lack age breakdowns; therefore, AreaSearch redistributes growth proportionally matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) for individual age brackets. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, growth is expected to align with the lower quartile of nationwide locations, with the suburb of Kenmore projected to add 393 residents by 2041 under combined SA2-level forecasts, representing an overall expansion of 3.8% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kenmore

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

270 new dwellings have been approved in Kenmore over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 50 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, 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 research into ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, Kenmore has seen an annual average of about 54 residential approvals, amounting to an estimated 270 properties over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 25 approvals have been registered. An average of 2.1 residents relocated to the area per new dwelling constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), indicating healthy demand supporting real estate values. New residential projects carry an average building cost of $758,000, which suggests developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium tier of the market.

Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $6.1 million have been logged this financial year, highlighting that the locality is overwhelmingly residential. Compared to Greater Brisbane, building activity (per capita) in Kenmore is 77.0% higher, giving purchasers a wider selection, even though construction volumes have slowed down lately. Recent projects consist of 48.0% standalone houses and 52.0% multi-unit dwellings. Focusing on multi-unit options offers more economical entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from historical housing stock (which is currently 92.0% standalone houses), indicating a decline in available vacant land and reflecting modern lifestyle trends and budget constraints. Having approximately 376 people per residential approval indicates a mature real estate market. Demographic projections suggest Kenmore will add 392 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Under ongoing construction trends, the supply of new dwellings should easily satisfy this demand, establishing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting expansion above current projections.

Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing has a minor presence at 2.7% compared to 5.6% across the wider region.

According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider statistical boundaries, the local labor force contracted by 2.5% and total employment fell by 2.8% during the twelve months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in unemployment. In comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector.

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 — 123 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,675 at the 2021 Census → 10,404 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 (SAL31504). 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 Kenmore 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 Kenmore 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 Kenmore 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 (Oct 2025) 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 Jul 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.
