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.

Rosslea has an estimated 2,147 residents, up from 1,903 at the 2021 Census — a change of 244 people, or 12.8%. Growth has averaged 2.6% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 61.0% of that increase. That puts 1,234 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 analysis combining broader ABS population updates with new address validations following the Census, the suburb of Rosslea has an estimated population of around 2,147 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 244 people (12.8%) relative to the 1,903 people recorded at the 2021 Census. This variation is derived from an Estimated Resident Population of 2,142 calculated by AreaSearch following the latest ABS ERP data release in June 2025, alongside 38 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 1,233 persons per square kilometer, population density sits above the average across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Expanding by 12.8% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Rosslea surpassed both the SA3 area and the SA4 region (7.2%), positioning it as a regional growth leader. Population growth was predominantly underpinned by natural growth, which accounted for approximately 61.0% of overall recent gains, while interstate migration, overseas migration, and other components also provided positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 area released by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are utilized by AreaSearch, whereas Queensland State Government SA2 area projections released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are adopted for post-2032 horizons and areas not covered. Because state figures omit age category splits, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) across each age cohort. Looking ahead at future demographics, aggregated SA2-level projections indicate that the suburb of Rosslea is expected to gain 242 persons to 2041, representing an overall increase of 11.0% over the 16 years, which is just below the national median for regional areas.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
57 new dwellings have been approved in Rosslea over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Statistical area ABS building approval data evaluated by AreaSearch reveals that Rosslea has averaged approximately 11 new dwelling approvals annually, with an estimated 57 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 9 approvals recorded so far in FY-25. An influx of 4.9 people per year per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) means demand has substantially outpaced supply, creating heightened buyer competition and upward pressure on prices, while new homes have an average construction value of $587,000. Furthermore, $7.8 million in commercial development approvals recorded this financial year indicates limited commercial development activity.
Relative to Rest of Qld, building activity in Rosslea is slightly higher (tracking 26.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), preserving buyer choices while supporting demand for existing homes. New residential approvals consist of 91.0% detached houses and 9.0% attached dwellings, maintaining suburban character with a focus on detached homes appealing to buyers seeking space. Although detached housing represented only 33.0% at Census, developers are constructing a higher proportion of traditional freestanding dwellings, demonstrating strong family home demand despite density pressures. With approximately 176 people per dwelling approval, Rosslea exhibits clear growth area attributes. Demographic projections indicate Rosslea will add 237 residents through to 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction patterns suggest that incoming housing supply should comfortably satisfy demand, generating positive conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population expansion beyond current forecasts.

1,175 residents of Rosslea are employed, from a labour force of 1,260. Unemployment sits at 6.7%, with participation at 67.8%. 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 1,783, about 83% 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
Aggregated statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch indicate that Rosslea maintains a well-educated workforce, solid representation across essential services sectors, and an unemployment rate of 6.7%. As of March 2026, 1,175 residents are employed, the jobless rate is 2.8% above Regional Qld's 3.9%, and the labor force participation rate stands at 67.8% (compared to 64.2% in Regional Qld). A relatively low 4.7% of residents worked from home according to Census responses, although Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be noted. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and education & training.
Workforce concentration in public administration & safety is particularly pronounced, with local representation reaching 2.2 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing employs no measurable share of local workers, sitting below the 4.5% seen in Regional Qld. A comparison between the resident population and Census workplace numbers indicates that local job opportunities within this primarily residential area remain limited. Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM data across broader statistical areas, the year to March 2026 saw the local labor pool contract by 0.6% and employment fall by 0.8%, which elevated the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points (compared to Regional Qld, where employment rose 0.1%, the labor force expanded 0.3%, and unemployment increased 0.1 percentage points). National employment projections from Mar-26 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further perspective on potential hiring demand across Rosslea over five and ten-year periods. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly across industry categories. Applying these sector-specific projections to Rosslea's employment composition suggests local employment should rise by 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (noting this is a simple 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 — 38 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,903 at the 2021 Census → 2,147 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.
