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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Cashmere

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Cashmere has an estimated 22,847 residents, up from 19,643 at the 2021 Census — a change of 3,204 people, or 16.3%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 835 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 44.5% of that increase. That puts 505 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 findings from AreaSearch, the population of Cashmere reaches approximately 22,847 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 3,204 individuals (16.3%) since the 2021 Census, which counted 19,643 residents. This shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 21,462 combined with 835 validated new addresses identified after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 505 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future expansion. The 16.3% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the national figure (9.3%) and the SA3 region, positioning the locality as a regional leader in expansion.

Population gains were primarily fueled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 44.5% of the overall growth during recent timeframes, though interstate, overseas, and all other migration categories also registered positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. In instances where these figures do not apply, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 baseline data) are implemented. Because the state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings structured around the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 baseline data) for each demographic group. Looking ahead, a substantial rise in population placing the region in the top national quartile is anticipated, with an projected increase of 4,836 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 15.1% across the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Cashmere

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

13,126 residents of Cashmere are employed, from a labour force of 13,532. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 79.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 17,550, about 77% 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 local workforce is characterized by high skill levels, particularly in key service industries, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.0% and steady employment levels over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 13,126, representing an unemployment rate 1.3% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, with workforce participation measuring well above typical levels at 79.1% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Based on Census data, a moderate 19.4% of the working population operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, construction, and public administration & safety.

The suburb displays a strong specialization in public administration & safety, where its employment proportion is 1.4 times that of the broader region. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 7.4% of employment compared to the regional benchmark of 8.9%. Given the comparison between the Census working population and resident counts, this predominantly residential community appears to provide relatively few jobs within its borders. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the employed population grew by 0.2% while the labor force expanded by 0.4%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.2% and labor force expansion of 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point rise. National employment projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand in Cashmere. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of expansion vary considerably by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local employment distribution suggests that Cashmere's employment base will grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, noting that this simple weighted projection is illustrative and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 835 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (19,643 at the 2021 Census → 22,847 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 (314011383). 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 Cashmere 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 Cashmere 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 Cashmere 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jun 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
