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.

Sales Detail
Virginia (Qld) has an estimated 2,671 residents, up from 2,395 at the 2021 Census — a change of 276 people, or 11.5%. Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years, faster than 76% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 51.0% of that increase. That puts 893 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 evaluations of ABS demographic updates for the broader zone, combined with new physical addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Virginia (Qld) has an estimated population of approximately 2,671 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 276 individuals (11.5%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,395 residents. The calculation is based on a resident count of 2,665, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, plus an additional 32 verified new addresses since the Census date. This population level yields a density of 893 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical figures seen in areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 11.5% expansion rate in the suburb of Virginia (Qld) since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (9.2%) and the national benchmark, establishing the locality as a regional growth leader. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 51.0% of recent population gains. AreaSearch utilises ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 zone, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, and for all years after 2032, Queensland State Government projections from 2023 (based on 2021 data) are used. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, using 2022 data) for individual age groups. Future demographic trends indicate lower quartile growth for the suburb of Virginia (Qld) compared to other statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch, with projections indicating an increase of 99 individuals by 2041, representing a total expansion of 3.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
48 new dwellings have been approved in Virginia (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from broader statistical areas indicates that Virginia averages approximately 9 annual dwelling approvals, with a total of 48 residential approvals recorded over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 13 approvals have been logged. With an average of 4.9 residents migrating to the area for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is outstripping supply. This imbalance typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices, while newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $520,000, signaling that developers are targeting the high-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $15.1 million this financial year, indicating a moderate level of non-residential development. Recent residential construction approvals consist of 69.0% detached houses and 31.0% attached dwellings, indicating a rising volume of medium-density choices that provide diverse residential options across different budgets, ranging from classic family residences to more economical compact spaces. This represents a notable shift from the established residential profile, which is currently composed of 98.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land while responding to changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. With a ratio of approximately 277 people per approved dwelling, Virginia displays a developing housing market. Projections indicate that Virginia will add 93 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction continues, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy this demand, creating favorable purchasing conditions and potentially assisting population growth beyond current forecasts.

1,748 residents of Virginia (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 1,800. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 84.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,965, about 186% 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
The workforce in Virginia is highly skilled, with professional services being particularly prominent. Statistical area data aggregated by AreaSearch indicates an unemployment rate of 2.9% and an estimated employment growth of 8.7% over the previous year. By March 2026, 1,748 residents were employed, reflecting an unemployment rate of 1.4 percentage points lower than Greater Brisbane's 4.3%. Workforce participation stands at 84.6%, which significantly exceeds Greater Brisbane's 70.4%. Census data reveals that 25.1% of residents worked from home, a figure that should be viewed with caution due to the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and construction. The community exhibits a strong specialization in professional & technical services, with local representation reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, retail trade is less prominent, employing 7.8% of the workforce compared to 9.4% across the region. With 2.4 local jobs for every resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a major employment center, attracting workers from neighboring suburbs. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the 12 months leading up to March 2026 saw employment expand by 8.7% and the local labor force grow by 8.2%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This compares favorably to Greater Brisbane, where employment grew by 3.2%, the labor force expanded by 3.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context for future demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these industry weightings to the local employment mix suggests Virginia's employment numbers will grow by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, noting this is a basic extrapolation that does not incorporate local population 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 — 32 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,395 at the 2021 Census → 2,671 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.
