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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Caboolture - South stands at approximately 28,265 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 4,640 individuals (19.6%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 23,625 residents. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 27,798 alongside 1,037 new addresses confirmed since the Census. The local density reaches 2,021 persons per square kilometer, a level exceeding the typical figure across examined national locations. The 19.6% expansion rate of Caboolture - South since the 2021 census outpaced both the national benchmark (9.3%) and the state average, positioning it as a primary growth corridor.
Interstate migration served as the main engine for this expansion, accounting for roughly 59.1% of the population increase, although gains were also supported by positive trends in overseas migration and natural population growth. AreaSearch relies on ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 and use 2022 as their base year. Where SA2 areas fall outside the scope of this dataset, or for periods after 2032, the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections are used; these were released in 2023 and are grounded in 2021 data. Because these state-level projections lack age category breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Demographic projections indicate a substantial population rise in the upper quartile of Australian statistical areas, with the region anticipated to grow by 8,709 individuals by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP population figures, representing a total gain of 29.2% across the 16-year span.

12,070 residents of Caboolture - South are employed, from a labour force of 13,003. Unemployment sits at 7.2%, with participation at 59.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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 26,002, about 92% 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
The workforce in Caboolture - South displays a mix of white-collar and blue-collar roles across diverse industries, featuring an unemployment rate of 7.2% and an annual job growth estimate of 4.3%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 12,070, while the local jobless rate sat 2.8% higher than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%. Furthermore, the participation rate of 59.2% is considerably lower than the 70.4% recorded for Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates that a modest 8.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Retail trade represents a notable area of local specialization, with its employment share tracking at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 3.3% of the local workforce, trailing the Greater Brisbane average of 8.9%. Comparing the Census count of local jobs against the resident workforce suggests this largely residential district provides a restricted volume of local employment opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that for the year ending March 2026, the count of employed individuals grew by 4.3% while the labor force expanded by 5.0%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a minor 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future labor demand in Caboolture - South. These five and ten-year national outlooks have been aligned with local workforce data to project potential employment trajectories. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by sector. Aligning these industry trends with the local employment base indicates that Caboolture - South's employment could grow by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, assuming a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific local population dynamics.

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 — 1,037 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (23,625 at the 2021 Census → 28,265 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.
