Eimeo - Rural View
Statistical Area - sa2

Eimeo - Rural View lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Eimeo - Rural View's population, as per AreaSearch's analysis, stands at approximately 14,816 as of November 2025. This figure represents an increase of 1,321 individuals, marking a 9.8% growth since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 13,495. The growth is inferred from ABS's estimated resident population of 14,796 in June 2024 and an additional 153 validated new addresses post-Census. This results in a population density ratio of 672 persons per square kilometer. Eimeo - Rural View's growth rate exceeded that of its SA3 area (6.6%) and the broader SA4 region, positioning it as a growth leader. Natural growth contributed approximately 46.1% to overall population gains recently, with all drivers including interstate migration and overseas migration being positive factors.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024, based on 2022 data. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023, using 2021 data, are adopted. Note that these state projections lack age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023, based on 2022 data. Future population dynamics anticipate a significant increase in the top quartile of non-metropolitan areas nationally by 2041, with Eimeo - Rural View expected to gain 5,733 persons, representing a 38.6% total increase over the 17-year period based on current numbers.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Eimeo - Rural View among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Eimeo - Rural View has received around 82 dwelling approvals annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, a total of 413 homes were approved, with an additional 38 approved in FY-26 so far. On average, each dwelling constructed over these years attracted approximately 3.9 new residents annually.

This has led to a significant demand exceeding supply, typically resulting in price growth and increased buyer competition. The construction cost of new properties averaged $296,000 during this period, which is below the regional average, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. In FY-26, there have been $22.3 million worth of commercial approvals, indicating steady commercial investment activity in the area. Compared to the rest of Queensland, Eimeo - Rural View shows 64.0% higher new home approvals per person, offering greater choice for buyers.

However, building activity has slowed in recent years. All development in the area over this period has been comprised of detached houses, maintaining its traditional low-density character and focusing on family homes that appeal to those seeking space. The location currently has approximately 232 people per dwelling approval, indicating room for growth. Future projections suggest Eimeo - Rural View will add 5,713 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
