Sales Detail
Narangba has an estimated 24,560 residents, up from 20,910 at the 2021 Census — a change of 3,650 people, or 17.5%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 1,044 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 55.0% of that increase. That puts 588 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 evaluations of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Narangba is projected to be approximately 24,560 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 3,650 people (17.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted a population of 20,910 residents. The change is calculated from the resident population of 23,658, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the most recent ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 1,044 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population translates to a density ratio of 588 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial space per resident and potential room for additional expansion. The 17.5% growth since the 2021 census for the suburb of Narangba outpaced 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 propelled by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 55.00000000000001% of total population increases during recent periods, although all drivers, including natural growth and overseas migration, were positive factors. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions not included in this dataset, and for years post-2032, the 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 include age category splits; therefore, where applied, AreaSearch uses proportional growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Reflecting these projected demographic changes, a major population growth in the top quartile of national statistical areas is anticipated, with the suburb of Narangba expected to grow by 6,235 persons to 2041 based on compiled SA2-level projections, showing a growth of 21.7% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,217 new dwellings have been approved in Narangba over the past five years, an average of 243 a year. That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 222 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 330, running ahead of 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, Narangba has seen approximately 243 residential properties approved each year, representing an estimated 1,217 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26303 approvals have been logged. With an average of 2.2 new residents per year added for each home built over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating strong demand that supports property values, new homes are being constructed at an average value of $345,000. Furthermore, $37.1 million in commercial development approvals have been logged this financial year, indicating solid local commercial investment.
Relative to Greater Brisbane, Narangba displays roughly 75% of the construction activity per resident while positioning within the 85th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide. This rate is significantly higher than the national average, showcasing strong developer confidence in the area. New building activity consists of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% attached dwellings, preserving the area's historical low-density style with an emphasis on family homes appealing to buyers looking for space. At approximately 111 people per approval, Narangba displays a developing area. Looking forward, Narangba is projected to add 5,333 residents through to 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, new housing supply should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

The investigation is determining long-term land use directions for future urban residential, enterprise and employment uses. A Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) is in place to pause premature subdivisions while detailed planning and community engagement continue through mid-2026.
Bruce Highway Upgrade - Uhlmann Road to Buchanan Road
The project involves planning to upgrade the Bruce Highway from Uhlmann Road, Burpengary to Buchanan Road, Morayfield. The preferred option includes adding multi-lane, one-way collector-distributor roads on both sides of the highway to separate local trips from through traffic, upgrading the Uhlmann Road and Buchanan Road interchanges, and providing active transport facilities. A second phase of community consultation on the preferred option was completed in late 2025. It aims to meet future traffic growth, reduce congestion, and improve flood immunity.
13,549 residents of Narangba are employed, from a labour force of 13,829. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 75.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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. The working-day population is estimated at 21,967, about 89% 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
Narangba benefits from a skilled workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of just 2.0%, and 4.8% in estimated job growth over the last year, according to AreaSearch compilation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 13,549 residents are employed while the unemployment rate is 2.3% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, and workforce participation is significantly above standard (75.6% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 17.1% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be taken into account.
Employment among residents is concentrated in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The area has particular job specialization in construction, with an employment share of 1.4 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical displays lower representation at 5.3% versus the regional average of 8.9%. The predominantly residential area appears to provide limited employment opportunities locally, as shown by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, compiled from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment increasing by 4.8% alongside labor force increasing by 5.0%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.2 percentage points. This compares to Greater Brisbane, where employment grew by 3.2%, labor force expanded 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 Narangba. 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 Narangba's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localized 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 — 1,044 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,910 at the 2021 Census → 24,560 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.
