DemographicsPopulation Growth in Warner

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Warner has an estimated 14,345 residents, up from 12,264 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,081 people, or 17.0%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 516 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 59.0% of that increase. That puts 1,355 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Warner has a projected population of approximately 14,345 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,081 people (17.0%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 12,264 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 13,356, estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and an extra 516 validated new addresses post-Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,354 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio among national areas evaluated by AreaSearch.

The 17.0% expansion in the suburb of Warner since the 2021 census was higher than both the national average (9.3%) and the SA3 area, positioning it as a regional growth leader. This expansion was chiefly supported by natural growth, which supplied roughly 59.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though interstate migration, overseas migration, and all other drivers also remained positive. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a base year of 2022, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for any years beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are adopted. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (derived from 2022 data). Looking at upcoming population patterns, a major rise is anticipated within the country's top quartile of statistical areas, with this region projected to add 2,779 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 forecasts, representing a overall increase of 12.5% across the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Warner

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

8,174 residents of Warner are employed, from a labour force of 8,412. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 80.6%. 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, 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 10,343, about 72% 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

Warner has a highly qualified labor force with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, and steady employment levels over the prior year, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 8,174 employed residents, representing an unemployment rate 1.5% below the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, while workforce participation stood well above average at 80.6% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates a moderate 18.3% of workers worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.

The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and construction. Public administration & safety shows a notable local concentration, with its share of employment reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are less represented at 6.9% compared to the regional figure of 8.9%. This largely residential locality provides limited local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical zones, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 0.2% and the labor force grow by 0.3%, maintaining a steady unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2%, labor force growth of 3.4%, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context for future labor demand in Warner. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local employment makeup to estimate growth trends. Though nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment should rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes 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 — 516 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,264 at the 2021 Census → 14,345 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 (SAL32991). 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 Warner 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 Warner 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 Warner 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.
