Sales Detail
Runaway Bay has an estimated 9,774 residents, up from 9,308 at the 2021 Census — a change of 466 people, or 5.0%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 86.0% of that increase. That puts 1,780 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
Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with updated addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Runaway Bay is projected to be approximately 9,774 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 466 residents (5.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 9,308 people. The adjustment is calculated from a local population of 9,755, which was determined by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with 31 new verified addresses added since the Census. This population level yields a density of 1,780 individuals per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical average across the country.
The suburb of Runaway Bay's post-census growth of 5.0% trails the broader SA3 region (7.0%) by 2.0 percentage points, showing solid local growth dynamics. The expansion was primarily fueled by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 86.0% of the overall population increases during this timeframe. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are utilized for each SA2 area. For any regions without this data, or for the period after 2032, projections from the Queensland Government published in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are adopted. Because these state-level projections lack age splits, local age distribution weighting is applied based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (using 2022 data). Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the suburb of Runaway Bay is projected to experience population growth exceeding the median for national non-metropolitan areas, growing by 1,376 residents by 2041 according to combined SA2 projections, which represents a total increase of 13.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
118 new dwellings have been approved in Runaway Bay over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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
According to research by AreaSearch on ABS building approvals distributed from local statistical data, Runaway Bay averages roughly 23 new dwelling approvals annually, with a total of 118 residences approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 22 during the current FY-26. Each constructed dwelling has corresponded with an average increase of 2.8 new residents over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), indicating robust demand that supports property values. The average projected value of these new homes is $704,000, illustrating a developer focus on high-end, premium housing.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $8.7 million this financial year, highlighting that the locality remains predominantly residential. In comparison to the Rest of Qld, Runaway Bay registers roughly 63% of the per capita building activity, placing it in the 54th percentile of all analyzed locations nationally, despite an uptick in construction lately. This rate is also lower than the national average, suggesting a mature market with possible physical limits on new construction. The mix of new construction includes 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% multi-unit developments. This emphasis on higher-density options offers cheaper entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 294 residents per approved dwelling, Runaway Bay is characterized as a low-density precinct. Demographic forecasts point to an increase of 1,357 inhabitants in Runaway Bay up to 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its present pace, the supply of new housing may fail to keep up with this growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and driving up values.

4,587 residents of Runaway Bay are employed, from a labour force of 4,746. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 54.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,933, about 91% 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
Runaway Bay possesses a highly qualified workforce spread across multiple sectors, with a jobless rate of just 3.4% and an estimated employment expansion of 3.3% over the prior year, according to aggregated regional statistics from AreaSearch. In March 2026, 4,587 local citizens were employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.6% below the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, while the participation rate is notably lower at 54.4% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a moderate 20.0% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The locality shows a distinct concentration in rental, hiring & real estate, with its employment share in this sector reaching 2.5 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of the workforce, which is below the Regional Qld figure of 4.5%. The heavily residential character of the area appears to limit local job availability, as shown by comparing the count of working residents against those employed locally. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled for the wider region, the past 12-month period saw a 3.3% rise in employment alongside a 3.2% expansion of the labor force, leaving the unemployment rate essentially unchanged. This differs from Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future workforce needs in Runaway Bay. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce composition suggests employment in Runaway Bay would grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population trends.

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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,308 at the 2021 Census → 9,774 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.
