This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Ayr has an estimated 9,236 residents, up from 8,987 at the 2021 Census — a change of 249 people, or 2.8%. That puts 132 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Ayr stands at approximately 9,236 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 249 people (2.8%) relative to the 8,987 individuals counted during the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,234 alongside 14 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 132 persons per square kilometer, local density remains low, offering substantial personal space and capacity for additional building. This 2.8% post-census expansion trails the broader SA3 area (3.5%) by only 0.7 percentage points, highlighting sound growth momentum.
The influx of new residents was predominantly fueled by overseas migration, which made up around 97.4% of aggregate net additions over recent observation windows. Projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In instances where locations lack coverage or for intervals following 2032, figures rely on 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 releases based on 2021 numbers. Because these state forecasts lack demographic breakdowns by age group, AreaSearch incorporates age-cohort weighting ratios derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region data (issued in 2023 using 2022 baselines). Over the long term, Ayr is projected to mirror the bottom quartile trajectory of regional Australia, expanding by 32 persons through to 2041 according to recent annual ERP metrics, translating to an overall rise of 0.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
72 new dwellings have been approved in Ayr over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Around 14 dwellings secure planning permission each year in Ayr, culminating in 72 residential approvals during the latest 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 to FY-26). Local supply and demand dynamics have maintained equilibrium, evidenced by an average influx of 1.8 people per finished residence over those same 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Nevertheless, a recent shift to 3.5 people per approved dwelling across the prior 2 financial years points toward rising demand alongside tightening stock availability. Typical construction expenses stand at $476,000 per dwelling, mirroring regional benchmarks. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $19.1 million throughout this financial year, underscoring continuous non-residential capital expenditure.
When evaluated against Rest of Qld, Ayr generates roughly three-quarters the volume of per-capita construction approvals, ranking within the 19th percentile of areas evaluated throughout the nation. Such constrained building activity restricts buyer choices while sustaining demand across established housing stock. This performance remains notably lower than nationwide figures, underscoring the mature profile of the locality alongside possible zoning constraints. Recent residential development consists of 79.0% detached houses and 21.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the low-density character of the township and appealing to purchasers seeking generous space. The presence of roughly 835 people for each approved dwelling underlines the calm, measured scale of local building development. Looking ahead, updated quarterly projections from AreaSearch indicate that Ayr will add 30 residents by 2041. Given prevailing building rates, local residential construction appears well placed to satisfy incoming housing requirements, fostering supportive terms for prospective buyers and potentially facilitating expansion above existing baseline estimates.

4,218 residents of Ayr are employed, from a labour force of 4,485. Unemployment sits at 6.0%, with participation at 57.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 local labour market in Ayr displays a mix across blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by notable manufacturing and industrial footprints, with joblessness standing at 6.0%. As of March 2026, employed locals number 4,218. The current unemployment rate exceeds the 3.9% benchmark of Regional Qld by 2.0%, while labour market participation registers lower at 57.8% compared with 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records indicate that merely 5.1% of workers carried out their duties from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions must be considered in interpreting this figure. Agriculture, forestry & fishing, manufacturing, and health care & social assistance represent the predominant employment pillars for local workers.
In particular, agriculture, forestry & fishing displays heavy local concentration, holding a workforce proportion 3.6 times that of the regional benchmark. Conversely, construction engages just 5.1% of Ayr's working population, sitting well below the 10.1% observed across Regional Qld. Although local positions exist within the boundary, comparisons between Census resident worker counts and local job locations indicate considerable commuting to outside employment centers. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS figures, the period concluding March 2026 saw the labour force contract by 1.9% while employment fell by 2.7%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.8 percentage points. Meanwhile, Regional Qld recorded employment growth of 0.1% and labour force expansion of 0.3%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point increase. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding prospective demand in Ayr. These outlooks span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with the local employment structure to project growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Ayr's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 5.0% over five years and by 11.5% over ten years, with the caveat that this represents a straightforward weighting exercise for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized population forecasts.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Ayr is $1,269 a week (about $66,000 a year), with median personal income at $711 a week.

Detail
Aggregated ATO postal records analyzed by AreaSearch for financial year 2023 indicate a median taxpayer earnings figure of $53,014 and an average of $66,170 in the Ayr SA2. These figures track slightly beneath nationwide benchmarks and compare to a median of $53,146 and an average of $66,593 recorded across Regional Qld. Factoring in an 11.36% increase in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023, updated estimates as of March 2026 point toward $59,036 for median income and $73,687 on average. Census findings place household, family, and individual incomes in Ayr within the 18th to 30th percentiles nationwide.
Income distribution shows 30.3% of the community (2,798 individuals) earning between $1,500 - 2,999, which aligns with the regional proportion of 31.7%. Even though residents retain 88.2% of their income after meeting housing costs, overall disposable income sits at the 23rd percentile nationally.

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Ayr is 44. 23.4% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
Ayr maintains a distinctly older demographic structure than Regional Qld overall. Seniors and retirees (65+) represent 26.6% of the population as at August 2026 compared to 20.4% in Regional Qld, while children and young adults (0 - 24) comprise 26.8% versus the regional benchmark of 29.6%. The median age is calculated by AreaSearch at 44 as at August 2026, matching the 2021 Census level while remaining 3 years higher than the Regional Qld figure of 41 from that Census. Nationally, the median age was 38 at the same Census. Since then, mature adults and early retirees (45 - 64) have decreased from 25.9% of the population to an estimated 23.1%.
Looking forward to 2041, retirees and elderly cohorts are projected to capture the vast majority of net additions, expanding by 490 residents (20%) to reach 2,943, whereas younger age groups and middle-aged cohorts are forecast to decline.

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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,987 at the 2021 Census → 9,236 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 Aug 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.
