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. 336 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
Point Vernon's population is estimated at approximately 5,987 as of May 2026, which is derived from analysis of ABS census updates for the surrounding region alongside newly validated addresses recorded by AreaSearch. This reflects an addition of 269 people (4.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,718 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 5,985, which AreaSearch estimated after evaluating the ABS June 2025 ERP release and identifying an additional 336 validated new addresses post-census. The current population translates to a density ratio of 1,234 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure for national locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
interstate migration was the primary driver of growth, accounting for roughly 80.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For any SA2 locations lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 numbers are substituted. Because these Queensland projections do not detail age cohorts, AreaSearch distributes growth weightings proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which rely on 2022 data. Future demographics indicate growth matching the lower quartile of national non-metropolitan areas, with the suburb of Point Vernon expected to add 106 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 1.7% over 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 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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
Point Vernon averages approximately 45 new residential approvals each year based on statistical data compiled by AreaSearch, with 229 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 22 registered so far in FY-26. Because only 0.9 new residents were added per built dwelling on average over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new supply matches or outpaces local demand, offering buyers diverse options and creating headroom for growth beyond current estimates. The average expected construction cost for these new properties is $468,000, which sits above the regional average and points to a focus on higher-quality builds.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $215,000 this financial year, showing very quiet commercial development sector activity. The rate of new residential approvals per resident in Point Vernon is roughly two-thirds of the level seen in the Rest of Qld, though it ranks in the 88th percentile among all national areas analyzed, with a recent acceleration in building activity. Detached houses account for 91.0% of the new construction projects while medium and high-density housing makes up 9.0%, maintaining a traditional suburban feel that appeals to buyers seeking extra space. The ratio of around 90 people for every approved dwelling indicates a low density area. Long-term forecasts suggest Point Vernon will add 104 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction suggests incoming supply will easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions for buyers and potentially allowing the population to expand beyond current projections.

2,404 residents of Point Vernon are employed, from a labour force of 2,520. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 48.8%. 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
The local workforce in Point Vernon features a balanced mix of white and blue collar jobs, with a solid representation of essential service industries, an unemployment rate of 4.6%, and estimated annual employment growth of 8.0% according to statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 2,404 employed residents, with an unemployment rate that is 0.7% higher than the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%. Labor force participation is notably low at 48.8% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a low 8.6% of working residents operated from home, though this figure reflects historical lockdown conditions during the pandemic.
The top employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. The local workforce is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.6 times the regional rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents only 0.9% of local employment compared to 4.5% across the region. The comparison between the working population at the Census and the resident population suggests local job opportunities are limited in this mostly residential area. An analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical area shows that over the 12-month period, local employment grew by 8.0% while the labour force expanded by 5.3%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate by 2.4 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future trends. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with wide variation between sectors. Extrapolating these national industry trends to Point Vernon's specific workforce suggests local employment could grow by 7.1% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, representing a basic weighting for comparison that does not incorporate 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 — 336 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (SAL32344). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
