Detail

This population level corresponds to a density of 2,667 persons per square kilometer, which ranks in the top quartile of all nationwide territories evaluated by AreaSearch. The post-census expansion rate of 5.7% for the suburb of Queenstown (SA) is within 1.8 percentage points of the broader state benchmark (7.5%), showing competitive expansion dynamics.

Projections prepared by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 unit, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, have been adopted by AreaSearch. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, as well as all projections beyond 2032, state authority LGA/Regional forecasts categorized by age bracket, issued in 2023 utilizing 2021 numbers, are applied through a weighted calculation that scales growth from LGA to SA2 levels.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Queenstown (SA)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

67 new dwellings have been approved in Queenstown (SA) over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 6.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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

Evaluation by AreaSearch of ABS building permit records allocated to specific statistical divisions shows that Queenstown averages approximately 13 approved residential dwellings annually, accumulating to about 67 authorized dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years (running from FY-21 to FY-25) and 9 during the current FY-26. Based on an average household occupancy of 1.6 new residents per constructed dwelling over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, demand and building rates show balanced alignment for a steady market environment, although latest figures indicate a rise to 12.6 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, pointing to higher local popularity and potential volume restrictions.

Newly authorized properties show a mean valuation of $363,000, which is slightly higher than the regional benchmark, indicating an emphasis on high-quality builds. Additionally, commercial building permits worth $8.3 million were logged during this financial year, which highlights that the area remains predominantly residential. In comparison to the broader Greater Adelaide region, local building approval volume per capita is about three-quarters of the regional rate, positioning the locality at the 19th percentile of all examined national markets, which limits availability for prospective buyers and supports interest in established properties. Approved new building projects consist of 40.0% standalone houses and 60.0% medium-to-high density formats. This concentration of high-density housing options provides affordable pathways to purchase and draws downsizers, first-home seekers, and investors. This stands as a major change from the current residential mix (where standalone houses comprise 57.0%), reflecting a decrease in available development land and adapting to shifting lifestyle choices and pricing constraints. The suburb currently registers around 816 residents for every approved dwelling, illustrating a mature residential landscape. Future forecasts indicate that Queenstown will add 395 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Current home construction maintains a sustainable alignment with expected growth, though buyers might face increased competition as the local population climbs.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Queenstown (SA)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,024 residents of Queenstown (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,087. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 61.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,625, about 79% 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 community is characterized by a skilled labor force with solid representation in crucial service industries, an unemployment rate of 5.8%, and an estimated job growth rate of 7.9% over the past year, calculated from AreaSearch's aggregation of local statistical boundaries. Active workers numbered 1,024 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 2.0% above the Greater Adelaide metric of 3.8%, and the local participation rate of 61.2% is considerably lower than the regional average of 66.6%. Census documentation reveals that a minor portion of workers, specifically 7.7%, performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.

The primary employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. There is a notable job concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local representation is 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, employing only 5.3% of local workers compared to 7.3% across Greater Adelaide. The heavily residential nature of the locality appears to restrict local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of working residents to those employed within the boundary. According to AreaSearch's processing of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data blocks, the year leading to March 2026 saw a 7.9% rise in active employment alongside a 5.1% increase in the total labor force, which drove a reduction in the unemployment rate by 2.4 percentage points. This compares to Greater Adelaide, where employment expanded by 4.2%, the labor force grew by 4.0%, and unemployment decreased by 0.2 percentage points. National labor projections published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected demand patterns in the area. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce composition to estimate growth paths. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely across industries. Applying these projections to the local occupational structure suggests employment is poised to rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that does not account for local population changes).

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,943 at the 2021 Census → 2,054 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 (SAL41232). 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 Queenstown (SA) 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 Queenstown (SA) 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 Queenstown (SA) 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 (May 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.
