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.

Gympie Surrounds has an estimated 22,748 residents, up from 20,359 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,389 people, or 11.7%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. 467 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 78.0% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 the evaluation conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Gympie Surrounds is close to 22,748 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,389 residents (11.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 20,359 individuals. This shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 22,707 from June 2025 alongside 467 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. With this size of population, the density ratio stands at 8.9 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a high degree of physical space for each resident. The expansion rate of 11.7% in Gympie Surrounds since the 2021 census was higher than the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and also outpaced the national average, establishing the area as a leader in regional growth.
The expansion was driven mostly by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 78.0% of the total population gains in recent times, though other contributors like overseas migration and natural growth also registered positive outcomes. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In instances where SA2 regions lack this coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 based on 2021 data are used instead. These state-level projections do not segment by age group; consequently, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) to each age group. Looking ahead, population growth is anticipated to sit slightly below the median for regional territories nationwide, with the locality projected to grow by 2,240 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, translating to a total increase of 9.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
804 new dwellings have been approved in Gympie Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 160 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 112 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 99% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 130, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Around 160 new residential building approvals have been registered annually in Gympie Surrounds, including 804 dwellings during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 120 in the current FY-26 period. Since an average of 3.1 new residents per year arrived for each home built over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, whereas new dwellings reflect an average construction value of $270,000—below regional benchmarks—suggesting more affordable residential options for purchasers. Additionally, $9.0 million of commercial approvals occurred in the current financial year, highlighting that the locality remains dominantly residential.
Gympie Surrounds displays 15.0% lower per-person construction volumes compared to Rest of Qld, though it places in the 69th percentile of analyzed localities across the country. Recent building activity is composed of 99.0% detached houses and 1.0% medium and high-density dwellings, preserving the historic low-density profile of the area through a concentration on family residences that cater to buyers wanting space. Representing approximately 197 people per approval, Gympie Surrounds showcases the traits of a growing locality. Projections indicate that Gympie Surrounds will welcome an additional 2,199 residents by 2041 (compared against the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Judging by current building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially driving population increases above the projected path.

11,623 residents of Gympie Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 11,967. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 63.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% 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 18,835, about 83% 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 labor force in Gympie Surrounds is balanced between white and blue collar jobs, with the construction industry especially well-represented, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and an estimated job growth rate of 7.1% over the past year. In March 2026, 11,623 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate sat 1.0% lower than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, while labor force participation was close to the Regional Qld mark of 64.3%. Census data indicates that a moderate 15.3% of workers carried out their jobs from home, although Covid-19 lock-down conditions during that time should be kept in mind.
Most working residents are employed within health care & social assistance, construction, and agriculture, forestry & fishing. The district exhibits a strong occupational focus on agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the employment concentration is 2.6 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food services are underrepresented at 5.3% of the workforce compared to the regional baseline of 8.3%. Comparison of the Census working population against the local resident worker pool indicates that local job opportunities within the area are somewhat restricted. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 7.1% and the labor force grew by 5.4% during the 12 months ending March 2026, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 1.5 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% rise in employment and a 0.3% rise in the labor force, corresponding to a 0.1 percentage point increase. National employment predictions issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context on potential workforce demand changes in Gympie Surrounds. These five and ten-year predictions have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future growth trends. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry trends onto the current employment structure of Gympie Surrounds suggests local employment could expand by 5.7% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighted extrapolation for illustration 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 — 467 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,359 at the 2021 Census → 22,748 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.
