Sales Detail
Walloon has an estimated 3,553 residents, up from 2,305 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,248 people, or 54.1%. Growth has averaged 10.1% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. 548 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 78.0% of that increase. That puts 193 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
Through evaluating ABS updates on demographics for the surrounding territory alongside recent address validations performed by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Walloon is calculated to have approximately 3,553 residents as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 1,248 individuals (54.1%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 2,305 citizens. The variation is deduced from an estimated local population of 3,530, determined by AreaSearch after examining the June 2025 ERP release from the ABS, supplemented by 548 confirmed new addresses added after the Census date.
This size of population represents a density of 192 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial area per resident and prospects for additional growth. The expansion rate of 54.1% in the suburb of Walloon since the 2021 census surpassed both the national average (9.3%) and the state level, establishing it as a frontrunner for growth within the district. Population expansion in the locality was majorly driven by arrivals from other states, which accounted for roughly 78.0% of total gains in recent times, though all indicators, including natural increase and international arrivals, remained positive. Projections generated by ABS and Geoscience Australia from 2024, utilising 2022 as the base year, are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In instances where SA2 regions lack this coverage, or for dates beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 data are substituted. It is worth noting that these state-level projections lack age breakdown details; consequently, AreaSearch applies age-cohort distribution weightings matching the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which used 2022 as a base. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, the suburb of Walloon is expected to experience exceptional growth, placing it in the top 10 percent of all statistical zones evaluated by AreaSearch, with the population projected to expand by 4,815 individuals by 2041 using combined SA2 projections, representing a total surge of 134.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
569 new dwellings have been approved in Walloon over the past five years, an average of 113 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 32 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 119 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 111, 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 AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permits allocated from statistical area statistics, approvals for residential builds in Walloon average about 113 properties annually, totaling an estimated 569 homes approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, plus 102 during FY-26 so far. Based on a ratio of 2.4 additional residents annually for each approved dwelling over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, which indicates solid demand supporting local property values, new residential builds carry an average estimated construction cost of $379,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $21.1 million this financial year, showing a moderate level of non-residential building activity.
Compared against the wider Greater Brisbane area, construction activity per capita in Walloon is 391.0% higher, giving purchasers a broader array of choices. This rate is significantly above the national benchmark, showing strong builder confidence in the local market. Recent building records show that 97.0% of new projects are detached houses, with the remaining 3.0% consisting of medium and high-density housing options, preserving the traditional spacious layout of the area and highlighting family residences for buyers wanting extra space. With a ratio of roughly 23 residents per residential permit, Walloon shows the hallmarks of an expanding growth corridor. Long-term forecasts indicate that the suburb of Walloon will gain 4,792 residents by 2041, measured from the latest quarterly estimate compiled by AreaSearch. The current pace of building appears to align well with future demand, helping to sustain balanced market conditions and preventing sharp escalations in property prices.

1,854 residents of Walloon are employed, from a labour force of 1,914. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 71.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,739, about 77% 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
The labor force in Walloon is evenly split between professional roles and trade occupations, featuring strong representation in crucial service industries, a jobless rate of just 3.1%, and an estimated job growth of 17.5% over the course of the past year based on compiled regional data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 1,854 employed residents, representing an unemployment rate 1.2% lower than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%, while the rate of workforce participation closely mirrors the Greater Brisbane level of 70.4%. Census figures indicate that a minor share of 10.2% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been affected by pandemic lockdown policies.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and public administration & safety. The area displays a strong concentration in public administration & safety, where the proportion of jobs is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minimal footprint, employing 4.2% of the workforce compared to 8.9% across the broader region. This mostly residential locality offers few local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the count of individuals working locally against the total count of employed residents in the Census. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider geographic zones, the recent 12-month timeframe saw a job expansion of 17.5% alongside a labor pool expansion of 16.6%, which pulled the unemployment rate down by 0.7 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National occupational forecasts issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide extra context regarding future labor demand in Walloon. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to calculate potential growth. Globally, national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these figures differ widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the local employment distribution suggests that employment for local residents will rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection for illustration purposes 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 — 548 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,305 at the 2021 Census → 3,553 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.
