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 AreaSearch, Eagle Farm - Pinkenba has an estimated population of approximately 2,747 as of Aug 2026, representing an expansion of 671 people (32.3%) from the 2,076 people recorded at the 2021 Census. This adjustment draws upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 2,746 as of June 2025 along with 266 validated new addresses logged following the Census. With a density of 379 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial personal space and capacity for ongoing expansion. The local growth rate of 32.3% since the 2021 census outperformed both the SA4 region (9.3%) and national figures, establishing the locality as a regional leader.
Net arrivals via interstate migration served as the core demographic catalyst, accounting for roughly 67.1% of total additions in recent times, with natural growth and overseas migration also contributing positively. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), supplemented post-2032 or where data is missing by Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 based on 2021 data. Because state figures lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates cohort distributions using proportional weightings from ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 (using 2022 data). Demographic forecasts indicate outstanding expansion ranking within the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide, with current annual ERP figures projecting the district to expand by 4,212 persons to 2041, representing an overall increase of 153.3% across the 16 years.

Additionally, the local planning pipeline shows robust non-residential activity, highlighted by $65.7 million in commercial approvals registered this financial year.

1,982 residents of Eagle Farm - Pinkenba are employed, from a labour force of 2,018. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 80.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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 10,393, about 3.8 times the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

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 — 266 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,076 at the 2021 Census → 2,747 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 (302031037). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
