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.

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 ABS regional updates alongside validated post-Census addresses, the suburb of One Mile (Qld) has an estimated Aug 2026 population of approximately 2,171 residents. This represents a gain of 133 people (6.5%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,038 people. This updated figure is deduced from the 2,171 resident count calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP release and 2 newly validated addresses recorded post-Census. Consequently, the suburb of One Mile (Qld) exhibits a population density of 1,254 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across AreaSearch's national study locations.
Natural increase served as the primary growth engine, driving roughly 63.0% of recent population additions. For individual SA2 boundaries, AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections pegged to a 2022 base year. For locations lacking this coverage or extending beyond 2032, 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 projections based on 2021 numbers are utilized. Because these state figures omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates age cohort proportions using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series based on 2022 benchmarks. Looking ahead, aggregated SA2 projections indicate an above-median expansion trajectory relative to national benchmarks, with the suburb of One Mile (Qld) forecast to expand by 471 persons through 2041, representing an overall increase of 21.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that One Mile averages approximately 2 residential consents per year, accumulating to an estimated 14 dwellings across the prior 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, no approvals have been registered. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the locality absorbed an average of 20.7 new residents annually for every newly constructed residence, creating a dynamic where structural demand heavily outstrips added supply, typically driving up home values and intensifying purchaser competition. Residential building volumes in One Mile lag significantly behind the Greater Brisbane benchmark.
While construction has picked up momentum in recent times, this constrained pipeline of new stock generally underpins demand and asset pricing across existing dwellings. Activity is similarly subdued compared to the national standard, pointing to an established market environment alongside potential development barriers. According to the latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch, One Mile is on track to add 471 residents up to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, residential building will likely fall short of demographic growth, creating heightened competition for available properties and putting upward pressure on real estate pricing.

938 residents of One Mile (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 1,018. Unemployment sits at 7.9%, with participation at 58.5%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,686, about 78% 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
The local labour market in One Mile presents a blend of blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by a solid presence in essential services. Based on aggregated statistical data from AreaSearch, the area recorded an estimated 13.8% employment gain over the previous year alongside a 7.9% unemployment rate. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 938, while the local jobless rate sat 3.5% higher than the 4.3% benchmark in Greater Brisbane. Furthermore, the local labour force participation rate of 58.5% trails the 70.1% recorded regionally, and only 9.0% of workers indicated working from home at the Census, a figure potentially influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
Local employment is predominantly concentrated in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety. Representation in public administration & safety is particularly pronounced, with the area capturing 1.5 times the regional proportion. Conversely, professional & technical occupations are under-indexed, comprising just 4.9% of the workforce in One Mile compared with 8.9% throughout Greater Brisbane. Comparing local Census resident counts with place-of-work numbers indicates that the residential character of the suburb provides relatively few internal employment opportunities. AreaSearch's compilation of ABS and SALM metrics demonstrates that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, One Mile experienced a 13.8% rise in employment and a 9.9% expansion in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 3.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane posted a 3.2% rise in employment alongside a 3.4% labour force increase, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce trajectories. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, trajectories vary by industry. Aligning these sector trends with the employment structure of One Mile points to potential local job gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing an illustrative proportional weighting that excludes specific local 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,038 at the 2021 Census → 2,171 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.
