Detail

According to investigations of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside newly confirmed locations by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Rothwell has an estimated population of 8,459 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 921 individuals (12.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 7,538 residents. This modification is deduced from the residency count of 8,454, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 in combination with 132 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 806 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical values observed across regions analyzed by AreaSearch.

The growth rate of 12.2% in the suburb of Rothwell since the 2021 census outpaced the national average (9.3%) as well as the state figure, positioning the locality as a regional leader in growth. Population increases in the area were almost exclusively driven by overseas arrivals, acting as the sole contributor to recent gains. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, utilizing 2022 as a baseline, are used by AreaSearch for each SA2 division. Where these details are missing, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 details) are applied. Because Queensland projections lack age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch scales demographic segments using proportional patterns from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data). Demographic models suggest growth matching the bottom quartile of Australian statistical territories, with the suburb of Rothwell projected to add 282 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2 formulas, representing a 16-year increase of 3.3%.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Rothwell

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

135 new dwellings have been approved in Rothwell over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 31% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 190, 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 reviews of ABS residential construction approvals assigned from regional data show that Rothwell has maintained a mean of approximately 27 residential permits annually, summing to 135 projected completions over the previous 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 175 permits have been logged. With an average demand of 6.2 additional occupants yearly for every completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, requirements far outstrip new construction, a trend that typically encourages price escalation and heightened buyer interest, while approved builds show a mean estimated cost of $459,000, suggesting that builders are concentrating on the upper-tier residential market.

Furthermore, commercial permits valued at $3.7 million have been registered during this financial cycle, pointing to a quiet commercial construction sector. Of the incoming stock, standalone houses constitute 31.0% while multi-dwelling formats like townhouses or units represent 69.0%. This shift toward higher-density options offers entry-level pricing and appeals to downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. It represents a clear change from the established housing stock, which is 70.0% standalone houses, pointing to a scarcity of vacant land and shifting lifestyle choices and affordability needs. The ratio of 182 residents for every permit indicates an area undergoing active development. Long-term forecasts suggest Rothwell will gain 277 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, residential supply is poised to satisfy local needs, creating favorable terms for purchasers and potentially driving gains that exceed current demographic forecasts.

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 — 132 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,538 at the 2021 Census → 8,459 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 (SAL32483). 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 Rothwell 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 Rothwell 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 Rothwell 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 (Jun 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.
