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.

Sales Detail
Queanbeyan has an estimated 6,421 residents. That puts 2,293 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
Demographic updates from the ABS alongside address validation conducted by AreaSearch indicate that the suburb of Queanbeyan reaches an estimated population of 6,421 as of Aug 2026. Comparing this figure against the 2021 Census count of 6,409 people reveals a net gain of 12 people (0.2%). This updated figure of 6,421 incorporates the ABS release of ERP data in June 2025 as well as 43 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With a resulting density of 2,293 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Queanbeyan sits higher than typical benchmarks nationwide evaluated by AreaSearch.
Inbound overseas migration served as the principal demographic driver, accounting for roughly 73.0% of recent population gains. In modeling future projections, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for local SA2 boundaries, while turning to 2022 NSW State Government projections based on 2021 for areas lacking coverage. Age-cohort expansion rates derived from these datasets are extended through the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Over the coming years, the suburb of Queanbeyan is projected to experience robust expansion, tracking in the highest quartile among non-metropolitan locations with a forecasted increase of 1,614 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 models, marking a cumulative rise of 25.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
38 new dwellings have been approved in Queanbeyan over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 2.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 66, 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
Examining ABS residential approval statistics aggregated by AreaSearch reveals that building activity has yielded approximately 7 new homes approved annually across Queanbeyan, generating 38 homes over the past 5 financial years combined. Approvals within FY-25 have reached 66 approvals to date. Against a backdrop of prior population contraction, this level of housing supply has maintained relative balance, offering favourable conditions for purchasers alongside an average construction cost of $497,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, the commercial sector demonstrates ongoing momentum, logging $27.2 million in non-residential approvals during the current financial year. Per capita residential building volumes in Queanbeyan sit 64.0% below regional average per person compared to Rest of NSW.
While construction rates have picked up lately, this persistent undersupply generally reinforces underlying values and buyer interest across established dwellings. Output remains similarly constrained against the national benchmark, reflecting the established footprint of the locality and potential urban planning constraints. Medium-to-high density housing comprises the majority of new stock, with townhouses or apartments accounting for 72.0% and standalone homes representing 28.0%. Such typologies provide attainable options for first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors alike. Reflecting an average of roughly 153 people per dwelling approval, local development retains lower-density physical characteristics. Long-term demographic forecasts indicate Queanbeyan will expand by 1,614 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If construction continues at current paces, new dwelling completions may struggle to keep up with population gains, likely intensifying buyer competition and exerting upward pressure on property prices.

3,866 residents of Queanbeyan are employed, from a labour force of 3,934. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 71.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Queanbeyan maintains an educated local workforce supported by high concentrations in essential services, achieving an unemployment rate of 1.7% under aggregated statistical boundary analyses by AreaSearch. Totalling 3,866 residents in employment as of March 2026, the area records an unemployment rate that sits 2.4% below Regional NSW's figure of 4.1%, accompanied by a strong labour participation rate of 71.7% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%. Census figures showed 8.3% of workers based at home, though broader Covid-19 lockdown restrictions during that collection period should be noted. The primary employment sectors for local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Public administration & safety shows exceptional local concentration, employing personnel at 3.2 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for a smaller workforce share at 11.8% in Queanbeyan compared to 16.9% in Regional NSW. Meanwhile, an above-average local jobs base is reflected in a Census ratio of 0.7 workers for each resident. According to an AreaSearch evaluation combining SALM and ABS figures drawn from larger statistical regions, the workforce in Queanbeyan shrank by 2.0% during the year ending March 2026, as employment dropped by 1.5%, which led to a 0.6 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% decrease in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia regarding national employment levels for Mar-26 can provide additional context on anticipated future demand in Queanbeyan. These outlooks, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been overlaid with local employment data to gauge potential expansion trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific expectations are applied to Queanbeyan's current employment composition, local jobs are expected to rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (this figure represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate 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 — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,409 at the 2021 Census → 6,421 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 (SAL13304). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
