Sales Detail
Yeerongpilly has an estimated 2,327 residents, up from 2,033 at the 2021 Census — a change of 294 people, or 14.5%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 83% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 1,200 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 assessments of ABS demographic data updates for the wider region and new locations validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Yeerongpilly has an estimated population of 2,327 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 294 people (14.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 2,033 individuals. This change is calculated using the resident population estimate of 2,327 from AreaSearch, which combined the June 2025 ABS ERP release with 46 validated new addresses verified since the Census. The resulting population density stands at 1,199 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical levels observed across other areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 14.5% population expansion of the suburb of Yeerongpilly since the 2021 Census outpaced the national growth rate of 9.3% and the local SA3 area, making it a regional leader in population growth. Overseas migration served as the primary driver of these gains, accounting for approximately 53.0% of the overall population increase, though interstate migration and natural growth also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For any SA2 locations missing from this dataset, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack specific age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data) to those cohorts. Looking at these anticipated demographic shifts, the suburb of Yeerongpilly is projected to experience population growth slightly below the national median, with the total population expected to increase by 188 residents by 2041 according to combined SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 8.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
234 new dwellings have been approved in Yeerongpilly over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 20 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 51 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 12% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, well below 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's evaluation of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas, the suburb of Yeerongpilly averages approximately 46 annual dwelling approvals, totaling an estimated 234 residential permits during the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with 7 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. An average influx of 1.1 people for each newly built home between FY-21 and FY-25 points to a well-balanced supply and demand dynamic, fostering stable market conditions. Newly approved residences carry an average construction value of $613,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end, premium projects.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $3.8 million during the current financial year, highlighting the primary residential character of the neighborhood. Building approval volume per person in the suburb of Yeerongpilly is 206.0% higher than the average for Greater Brisbane, giving prospective buyers a wider selection of properties. This level of activity is substantially higher than the national norm, reflecting strong developer interest. The composition of new approvals consists of 12.0% single-family detached homes and 88.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This emphasis on denser housing options provides more accessible price points for buyers and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a major shift from the existing housing stock, which currently features 51.0% traditional houses, and reflects both a scarcity of available development land and changing preferences around lifestyle and affordability. With a ratio of approximately 35 people for each approved dwelling, the suburb of Yeerongpilly exhibits the hallmarks of a developing area. Future projections indicate that the suburb of Yeerongpilly will add 188 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. At the current pace of construction, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, ensuring favorable conditions for home buyers and potentially enabling population growth to exceed current projections.

1,344 residents of Yeerongpilly are employed, from a labour force of 1,404. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 71.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% 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 2,518, about 108% 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 suburb of Yeerongpilly features a workforce with high levels of formal education and strong representation in professional services, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.3% and an estimated employment growth rate of 5.4% over the past year, as aggregated by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,344, while the unemployment rate matched the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%, and the workforce participation rate was comparable to the 70.4% recorded for Greater Brisbane. According to Census records, a high proportion of employed residents (27.0%) worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services. The local workforce shows a strong concentration in education & training, with a employment share that is 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, construction is underrepresented, employing just 4.4% of the workforce compared to 9.0% across Greater Brisbane. The presence of 0.8 local jobs for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher-than-average availability of local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS data for wider statistical areas shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local employed population expanded by 5.4% and the total labor force grew by 4.2%, leading to a decrease of 1.1 percentage points in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Brisbane saw employment rise by 3.2% and its labor force grow by 3.4%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future employment demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local workforce structure yields projected employment growth of 7.2% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for local 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 — 46 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,033 at the 2021 Census → 2,327 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 (SAL33215). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
