Detail

Drawing from ABS population revisions for the surrounding region alongside address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the population of the suburb of Park Ridge South is estimated at roughly 1,717 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 37 people (2.2%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 1,680 people. This shift is calculated based on the resident population of 1,717, which AreaSearch estimated after evaluating the ABS June 2025 release of estimated resident population statistics and incorporating 1 validated new address since the Census.

Such population numbers translate to a density ratio of 182 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial space per resident and capacity for prospective development. Overseas migration served as the main driver of local population growth, accounting for approximately 63.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. AreaSearch implements projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, which were published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government for SA2 regions, published in 2023 with 2021 as the baseline, are utilized. These state-level projections lack breakdowns by age bracket; therefore, where they are applied, AreaSearch distributes growth proportionally based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data) for each age cohort. Looking ahead at future demographics, projections indicate a contraction in the overall population, with the suburb of Park Ridge South expected to lose 73 residents by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected within particular age cohorts, led by the 75 to 84 age category, which is expected to grow by 58 people. The section on age cohorts provides further details.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building approvals, distributed from statistical area statistics, indicates that the suburb of Park Ridge South has averaged roughly 1 residential property approval annually, with an estimated 9 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 2 approvals recorded during the current FY-26. Because the population contracted during the preceding timeframe, housing availability has remained sufficient to meet demand, establishing a balanced market with healthy options for purchasers, while new homes are built at an average cost of $250,000—below regional benchmarks—suggesting more affordable purchasing opportunities.

Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $6.5 million this financial year, which highlights the residential nature of the locality. Relative to Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Park Ridge South experiences a low level of development activity (94.0% below the regional average per resident). This restricted supply of new builds generally underpins stronger demand and pricing for existing homes. This rate of activity is also below the national average, pointing to the established nature of the locality and potential planning restrictions. At the same time, recent building activity has consisted entirely of detached homes, maintaining the low-density landscape of the locality and highlighting detached housing options that draw buyers looking for space. The estimated ratio of 1716 residents in the suburb of Park Ridge South per building approval underscores its quiet, low-activity construction landscape.

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 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,680 at the 2021 Census → 1,717 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 (SAL32272). 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 Park Ridge South 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 Park Ridge South 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 Park Ridge South 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 (Aug 2026) 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 Aug 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.
