Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Regents Park (Qld) records an estimated total of approximately 11,851 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared against the 2021 Census tally of 11,103 people, this represents an addition of 748 people (6.7%). This metric builds upon the resident figure of 11,844 derived by AreaSearch from the ABS Estimated Resident Population (ERP) June 2025 release, combined with 43 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. With a density of 2,479 persons per square kilometer, the area ranks in the upper quartile across nationwide locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 6.7% post-census gain sits within 2.8 percentage points of the 9.5% national benchmark, indicating solid local growth trends. Overall population expansion was predominantly underpinned by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 52.0% of recent population gains. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across individual SA2 regions. For post-2032 timeframes and any SA2 zones not covered in that release, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2023 from 2021 data are utilized. Because these state figures omit age-bracket breakdowns, proportional weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region 2023 release (referencing 2022 figures) are incorporated across each demographic cohort. Looking forward, the suburb of Regents Park (Qld) is tracking toward lower quartile growth compared to statistical areas nationwide, with cumulative SA2-level modeling pointing to a rise of 129 persons to 2041, representing an overall increase of 1.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
100 new dwellings have been approved in Regents Park (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 90% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 33, 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
Urban planning and building activity data analyzed by AreaSearch from ABS statistics reveals that Regents Park has averaged roughly 20 new residential approvals annually, totaling approximately 100 homes across the past 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 33 approvals have been logged. With roughly 4.4 incoming residents per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), construction volumes have trailed underlying demand, a dynamic that typically spurs price appreciation and heightens competition. The expected construction cost for newly built properties averages $402,000, aligning with regional standards.
In addition, commercial approvals have reached $18.6 million this financial year, demonstrating ongoing commercial investment. Per capita residential development in Regents Park sits 89.0% below the Greater Brisbane benchmark, highlighting substantial constraints on new building activity that generally support the valuations of established properties. Construction volumes are likewise subdued compared to national levels, reflecting established market maturity along with potential supply barriers. Recent dwelling activity has been heavily oriented toward detached housing at 90.0%, with townhouses or apartments comprising 10.0%, preserving traditional suburban surroundings oriented to family living. With an average of roughly 524 people per dwelling approval, the local property market displays clear maturity. From the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch, residential expansion in Regents Park is projected at 122 residents through to 2041. Based on prevailing construction rates, future dwelling delivery is anticipated to balance demand effectively, creating favorable conditions for prospective purchasers while offering scope to outpace current projections.

6,518 residents of Regents Park (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 6,767. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 72.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,001, about 76% 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
Workforce patterns across Regents Park show an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by solid representation in manufacturing and industrial trades, while maintaining an unemployment rate of 3.7% according to AreaSearch's statistical analysis. As of March 2026, 6,518 residents are employed, and the local jobless rate sits 0.6% beneath Greater Brisbane's 4.3%. Labor participation remains steady at 72.7%, slightly above the 70.1% reported for Greater Brisbane. In addition, 9.9% of local workers reported working from home in Census data, an outcome influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Local specialization is especially prominent in manufacturing, where the workforce concentration reaches 1.7 times the Greater Brisbane proportion. Conversely, professional & technical occupations represent just 3.9% of the local working population, compared to 8.9% across Greater Brisbane. As reflected in Census comparisons between resident workers and local job counts, the predominantly residential character of the suburb provides relatively limited on-site employment. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, the local labor pool contracted by 2.7% and total employment fell by 3.0%, resulting in an increase of 0.3 percentage points in unemployment. This diverged from Greater Brisbane, where employment expanded by 3.2%, the labor force increased by 3.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. Looking forward, Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 projections provide context on future labor demand over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by industry. Applying these sector-level expectations to the local workforce composition indicates prospective employment growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years for Regents Park (representing a weighted baseline calculation that excludes localized 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 — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,103 at the 2021 Census → 11,851 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 (SAL32417). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
