Point Vernon has an estimated 5,987 residents, up from 5,718 at the 2021 Census — a change of 269 people, or 4.7%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. 335 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,234 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS releases alongside post-Census address validations, the suburb of Point Vernon has an estimated population of approximately 5,987 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 269 people (4.7%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,718 people. This upward trend builds upon an estimated resident population of 5,985 established via the ABS ERP update in June 2025, coupled with 335 validated new addresses identified following the Census count. The local population density reaches 1,234 persons per square kilometer, positioning it above the national benchmark across AreaSearch study locations.
Inward interstate migration served as the core growth catalyst, accounting for roughly 80.0% of all recent population additions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling with a 2022 base year, transitioning to 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts (anchored to 2021 benchmarks) for missing regions and timelines extending past 2032. Because state datasets omit demographic splits by age, AreaSearch adjusts cohorts using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (2022 baseline). Looking ahead, demographic patterns suggest expansion rates aligned with the lower quartile of non-metropolitan Australian regions, with aggregate SA2 modeling anticipating an increase of 107 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 1.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
229 new dwellings have been approved in Point Vernon over the past five years, an average of 45 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 42 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 90% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 23, 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
ABS residential building data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Point Vernon generated an average of roughly 45 new dwelling approvals per year, amounting to 229 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 23 approvals have been logged. With an influx averaging 1 new residents per annum per completed dwelling across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential construction is successfully keeping pace with or exceeding demand, widening buyer opportunities and setting the stage for population growth beyond baseline projections, alongside an average building cost of $553,000 per residence.
Furthermore, the recording of $215,000 in commercial approvals during the ongoing financial year underscores the locality's primary residential focus. When evaluated against Rest of Qld, new residential building approvals per capita in Point Vernon track at roughly half the regional benchmark, placing the suburb within the 78th percentile of Australian markets analyzed. Detached houses account for 90.0% of all approved development, while townhouses or apartments constitute 10.0%, sustaining traditional low-density neighborhood appeal tailored toward family-oriented households seeking generous lot sizes. The ratio stands at roughly 136 people per dwelling approval, highlighting a low-density residential landscape. Demographic projections suggest that Point Vernon will add 105 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Maintained building activity is expected to keep housing supply in line with incoming demand, supporting advantageous market dynamics for purchasers and providing room for demographic gains above current estimates.

2,404 residents of Point Vernon are employed, from a labour force of 2,520. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 49.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,962, about 83% 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
Point Vernon maintains a diverse labor pool across both blue and white collar roles, marked by substantial employment in essential community services, a 4.6% jobless rate, and an annual workforce expansion of 8.0% according to regional figures compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 2,404 residents were actively working, whereas local unemployment tracked 0.7% above the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld, and participation lagged at 49.2% versus 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records show a modest 8.6% of workers working remotely, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during that period should be acknowledged.
The top employment sectors for local workers include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. Healthcare specialization is particularly pronounced, representing 1.6 times the regional concentration. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.9% of the local workforce compared with 4.5% across Regional Qld. Given the predominantly suburban character, local job opportunities appear limited relative to the resident workforce size, as highlighted by Census comparisons of local workers versus working residents. SALM and ABS datasets synthesized by AreaSearch show that over the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 8.0% against a 5.3% growth in the total labor force, reducing the jobless rate by 2.4 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. Long-term outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on potential employment trends for Point Vernon. While national projections forecast employment gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, trajectory rates vary substantially by industry. Aligning these sector-specific forecasts with the local industry distribution suggests Point Vernon could experience employment growth of 7.1% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation is purely illustrative and excludes localized population models).

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 — 335 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,718 at the 2021 Census → 5,987 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL32344). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
