Sales Detail
Redcliffe (Qld) has an estimated 11,400 residents, up from 10,460 at the 2021 Census — a change of 940 people, or 9.0%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 292 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 59.0% of that increase. That puts 2,727 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 broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Redcliffe (Qld) holds an estimated population of approximately 11,400 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 940 people (9.0%) relative to the 10,460 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from an estimated resident count of 11,228 established via the ABS June 2025 ERP update, combined with 292 new addresses confirmed since the Census. With a density of 2,727 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks within the top quartile among all nationally evaluated areas.
Furthermore, the 9.0% expansion recorded since the Census trails the national benchmark of 9.5% by only 0.5 percentage points, highlighting solid local growth fundamentals. Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 59.0% of recent population gains. For individual SA2 locations, AreaSearch adopts the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline). For timeframes beyond 2032 or areas omitted from that series, the Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are used. Because these state forecasts lack age-specific breakdowns, cohort distributions are weighted using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 from 2022 figures. Looking forward, the suburb of Redcliffe (Qld) is forecast to achieve remarkable expansion that places it among the top 10 percent of national statistical areas, adding 4,468 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 figures, which amounts to a cumulative gain of 37.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
394 new dwellings have been approved in Redcliffe (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 78 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 140 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 13% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 337, 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential building approvals indicates that Redcliffe registers development permits for approximately 78 dwellings each year, totaling an estimated 394 approved homes over the prior 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), with 337 recorded during FY-25 to date. The arrival of an average of just 0.9 people per year for every dwelling constructed over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) demonstrates that residential building is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, providing buyers with broader options and supporting demographic gains that may surpass current forecasts.
New homes reflect an average construction cost of $528,000, marginally exceeding the broader regional standard to indicate an emphasis on premium residential stock. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $32.5 million during the ongoing financial year, pointing to significant commercial investment locally. Construction rates in Redcliffe track at higher levels than the Greater Brisbane standard, outpacing the regional figure by 32.0% per capita across the 5 year period, thereby preserving housing options while maintaining existing market interest. This level of activity substantially exceeds national rates, underlining strong developer confidence. Medium and high-density formats dominate recent development activity at 87.0%, while standalone houses account for just 13.0%. This shift toward denser multi-unit stock offers accessible market entry for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It contrasts sharply with the established residential base of 52.0% separate houses, signaling constrained land supply for low-density builds while catering to lifestyle changes and the requirement for diversified, attainable dwellings. Recording approximately 56 people per approved dwelling, the suburb displays the clear traits of an active development corridor. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Redcliffe is projected to accommodate an additional 4,296 residents leading up to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, additions to residential stock could fall short of incoming population numbers, which may intensify buyer competition and reinforce upward pressure on property values.

5,007 residents of Redcliffe (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 5,260. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 52.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,339, about 108% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Redcliffe maintains a capable labor pool with solid representation across key public and essential service sectors, an unemployment rate standing at 4.8%, and estimated yearly employment expansion of 4.6% according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. There were 5,007 employed locals recorded as of March 2026. The local jobless rate exceeds Greater Brisbane's 4.3% by 0.5%, while the labor participation rate of 52.8% trails the broader metropolitan mark of 70.1% by a substantial margin. Census findings showed 16.4% of employed residents working from home, a metric shaped partly by period Covid-19 containment measures.
The health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade industries represent the foremost employment sources for residents. Local concentration is particularly prominent in health care & social assistance, where the suburb's workforce share stands at 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 5.8% of the local working population, sitting below the 8.9% observed across Greater Brisbane. A Census ratio of 0.6 local jobs per resident indicates an above-average volume of employment opportunities within the immediate area. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch combines data from the SALM and ABS, which has been aggregated from larger statistical regions, showing that over the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 4.6% and the labour force grew by 5.0%, which led to an increase in unemployment of 0.3 percentage points. Meanwhile, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2% and the labour force grow by 3.4%, with unemployment rising by 0.1 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia regarding national employment, published in Mar-26, provide additional perspective on what future job demand might look like in Redcliffe. These forecasts span five and ten year periods and have been overlaid on the local employment profile to project how jobs may grow. Nationally, employment is projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, although these figures vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Redcliffe's current employment mix, the expectation is that local employment will rise by 6.7% over five years and by 14.1% over ten years. It should be noted that this calculation is a basic weighted extrapolation used 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 — 292 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,460 at the 2021 Census → 11,400 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.
