Sales Detail
Queanbeyan East has an estimated 4,260 residents. That puts 1,012 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
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Queanbeyan East is estimated at around 4,260 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 20 people (0.5%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,240 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 4,260, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 37 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,011 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 59.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point have been adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 territories where this information is unavailable, the 2022 projections from the NSW State Government using a 2021 baseline are applied instead. The age-bracket growth trends derived from these sources are also projected forward for all districts from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the suburb of Queanbeyan East is anticipated to expand at a rate exceeding the median for non-metropolitan Australia, with projections indicating an increase of 579 residents by 2041, representing a total rise of 13.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
78 new dwellings have been approved in Queanbeyan East over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, broadly in line with 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
Evaluations of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas show that the suburb of Queanbeyan East typically sees approximately 15 residential approvals per year, summing to an estimated 78 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 14 building permits have been documented. Since only an average of 0.3 individuals relocated to the area annually for each constructed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the incoming supply is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, offering home buyers more choices and laying the groundwork for population expansion above projected levels, with newly constructed homes averaging a value of $459,000, which highlights developer activity in the high-end, luxury market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $16.1 million have been registered in the current financial year, pointing to steady non-residential development. Residential building activity in the suburb of Queanbeyan East is significantly lower compared to the Rest of NSW, lagging the regional per capita benchmark by 53.0%. While this restrained addition of new housing stock generally helps support demand and property values for pre-existing homes, construction work has recently become more intense. Of the housing currently being built, standalone houses make up 28.0% while medium to high-density projects account for 72.0%. This emphasis on denser housing configurations yields more accessible entry-level options and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and those purchasing their first home. With a ratio of roughly 153 people per residential permit, the suburb of Queanbeyan East displays the typical attributes of a low-density neighborhood. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Queanbeyan East will add 579 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Residential construction is keeping pace with these projected growth figures, though property buyers might face increased competition as the local population expands.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years.

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 suburb of Queanbeyan East is home to a highly educated workforce with strong representation in vital services, alongside an unemployment rate of just 2.0%, according to AreaSearch collated statistical area figures. As of March 2026, there are 2,672 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 2.1% lower than the 4.1% recorded across Regional NSW, and the local participation rate is exceptionally high at 76.2% compared to 60.6% for Regional NSW. Census records indicate that a minor 7.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been affected by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The local workforce is heavily concentrated in the fields of public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction. Representation in public administration & safety is particularly pronounced, with employment levels reaching 3.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a mere 0.4% of local employment, which is below the Regional NSW average of 5.3%. Although local jobs exist, comparison of the Census working population against the resident count indicates that many locals travel to other areas for their jobs. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider statistical districts reveals that during the twelve months ending March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.2% alongside a 2.1% reduction in total employment, which kept the overall unemployment rate stable. In comparison, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and its labour force contract by 0.4%, while its unemployment rate ticked up by 0.5 percentage points. National employment outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context regarding future labour demand in the suburb of Queanbeyan East. These projections, spanning five and ten years, were mapped to the local industry mix to estimate future hiring. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary widely by industry sector. Applying these national sector trends to the local job structure indicates that employment in the suburb of Queanbeyan East would rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate localized population adjustments.

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 — 37 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,240 at the 2021 Census → 4,260 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 (SAL13305). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
