Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Detail

According to findings from AreaSearch, the resident count in Beaudesert stands at approximately 16,874 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,200 people (15.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 14,674 people. This demographic movement incorporates the ABS estimated resident population figure of 16,642 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 816 validated new addresses documented following the Census. With a density metric of 10.4 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers considerable living space per inhabitant. Surpassing both the state benchmark and the national average (9.5%), Beaudesert's 15.0% post-2021 census surge positions it at the forefront of regional expansion.

Net interstate arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 87.2% of recent population additions. Projections generated jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures, form the core of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. For timeframes extending past 2032 or areas omitted from that release, reliance shifts to Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2023 from 2021 inputs. Because these state-level numbers do not disaggregate by age brackets, proportional weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 baseline metrics) are applied across cohorts. Looking ahead, local expansion is forecast to outpace median national rates, adding 2,517 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP tallies, equating to an aggregate rise of 13.5% across the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Beaudesert

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

7,108 residents of Beaudesert are employed, from a labour force of 7,574. Unemployment sits at 6.2%, with participation at 55.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% 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. 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 Beaudesert displays an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, highlighted by substantial concentration in building trades alongside an overall jobless rate of 6.2%. Employment figures indicate 7,108 residents are in work as of March 2026.

In addition, 14.3% of workers indicated working remotely at the Census, a proportion subject to pandemic-era restrictions. A significant portion of working residents are engaged in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.

Notably, the local economy exhibits intense specialisation in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where employment concentration is 9.7 times the regional level. By contrast, professional & technical vocations account for just 3.7% of local employment against 8.9% regionally. An examination of working population counts relative to residing workers points to a restricted volume of internal jobs in the district. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, the local workforce contracted by 2.6% alongside a 3.0% drop in jobs, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. Conversely, Greater Brisbane registered a 3.2% increase in employment and a 3.4% rise in the labour pool, alongside a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future local requirements over five and ten-year horizons. Across the country, job counts are projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral rates vary widely. Aligning these industry trends with the local job profile suggests Beaudesert employment could rise by 5.7% over five years and 12.2% over ten years (a weighted illustrative model 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 — 816 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,674 at the 2021 Census → 16,874 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (311011305). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Beaudesert SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Beaudesert 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 Beaudesert 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Jun 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
