Overview

Queensland’s 2021 estimated population of 5,265,043 people is heavily concentrated in the southeast, where nearly three‑quarters of residents live and half of the state’s total count is in the capital, Brisbane. The state’s vast 1.73 million km² area makes it the world’s sixth‑largest sub‑national entity, but its urban hubs,Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and other major cities,anchor most of the demand for housing and rental accommodation.

With a gross state product that ranks third among Australia’s states, Queensland’s economy is anchored by mining, agriculture and a growing services sector that includes tourism, international education and finance. The diversity of natural resources,from coal and bauxite to sugar cane and tropical fruit,supports a broad mix of employment opportunities, which in turn shapes the region’s property market dynamics.
