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.

Sales Detail
Gowrie (Qld) has an estimated 8,237 residents, up from 7,059 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,178 people, or 16.7%. Growth has averaged 2.9% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 294 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 65.9% of that increase. That puts 102 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the community of Gowrie numbers approximately 8,237 residents as of Aug 2026. Comparing this against the 2021 Census figure of 7,059 people, the local population has expanded by 1,178 people (16.7%). This net gain is deduced using the ABS estimated resident population of 8,154 from June 2025 alongside 294 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date. With a density metric of 101 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space and capacity for additional residential expansion. Furthermore, Gowrie's 16.7% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA4 region and the SA3 area (9.3%), positioning it at the forefront of regional growth.
Inflows from interstate migration formed the primary catalyst, generating roughly 65.9% of total demographic gains in recent times, though natural growth and overseas migration also served as positive factors. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, utilising 2022 as their baseline, form the foundation for AreaSearch's SA2 modelling. For periods beyond 2032 or areas omitted from that release, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 based on 2021 data are used. Because these state figures omit demographic age splits, AreaSearch integrates proportional age cohort distributions based on ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 (utilising 2022 data). Looking ahead, Gowrie is anticipated to outperform the median growth pace for Australian non-metropolitan areas, with latest annual ERP benchmarks projecting an addition of 1,575 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 18.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
348 new dwellings have been approved in Gowrie (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 69 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the previous 5 financial years, residential approvals in Gowrie have averaged around 69 new homes per annum, accumulating to 348 homes. Given that 3.2 new residents were added each year for every dwelling constructed across the last 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), local demand is considerably outpacing construction, typically fostering intensified market competition and upward pricing pressures. Concurrently, average construction value for new dwellings sits at $445,000, which is below regional benchmarks and highlights comparatively accessible building costs for buyers. Furthermore, commercial approvals amounting to $637,000 this financial year underscore the predominantly residential focus of the locality.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Gowrie exceeds the Rest of Qld baseline by 60.0%, offering substantial variety to prospective property purchasers. Detached houses account for 96.0% of all newly approved construction, with attached dwellings making up the remaining 4.0%, preserving the suburban low-density environment that attracts family-oriented buyers pursuing spacious layouts. With an approval intensity of roughly 141 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical attributes of an active growth corridor. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures, demographic projections anticipate an influx of 1,492 residents into Gowrie through to 2041. Provided current building volumes are sustained, the pipeline of new housing will adequately cater to inbound demand, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating demographic growth above current forecasts.

4,236 residents of Gowrie (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 4,313. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 69.4%. 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 6,438, about 78% 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 labour market in Gowrie exhibits a balanced blend of blue-collar and professional occupations alongside strong employment in core community services, underpinned by a low unemployment rate of 1.8%. Figures for March 2026 indicate 4,236 employed residents, with local joblessness tracking 2.1% beneath the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%. Concurrently, labor force participation is notably elevated at 69.4% versus 64.2% for Regional Qld. Census data revealed that only 7.8% of workers operated from home, though this metric was influenced by Covid-19 lockdown circumstances. Locally, employment is heavily concentrated across education & training, construction, and health care & social assistance.
Manufacturing represents a key area of local economic specialization, employing workers at 1.7 times the broader regional rate. Conversely, accommodation & food services accounts for a modest 4.6% of local employment, well below the 8.3% recorded throughout the wider region. Comparing resident worker counts with local Census workplace tallies indicates that internal job opportunities within the immediate boundaries remain relatively constrained. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics shows that in the twelve months to March 2026, Gowrie recorded a 6.7% decline in its labour force and a 7.4% reduction in total employment, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This diverged from Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.3% rise in the labour pool, a 0.1% increase in employment, and a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide forward-looking context for Gowrie across five and ten-year horizons when applied to the area's existing workforce profile. Across Australia, total employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying by sector. Extrapolating these industry trends to Gowrie's sectoral composition indicates potential local employment gains of 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note this reflects a baseline weighted calculation for illustrative purposes and excludes localized population models).

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 — 294 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,059 at the 2021 Census → 8,237 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 (317011449). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
