Hyde Park - Pimlico
Statistical Area - sa2

Hyde Park - Pimlico has shown very soft population growth performance across periods assessed by AreaSearch

Hyde Park - Pimlico's population, as of November 2025, is approximately 4759 people. This figure represents an increase from the 2021 Census count of 4728 people, reflecting a rise of 31 individuals (0.7%). The change is inferred from ABS estimates showing a resident population of 4759 in June 2024 and an additional 11 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1487 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the national average assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration primarily drove recent population growth, contributing approximately 68.6% of overall gains.

AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023, based on 2021 data, are used. However, these state projections lack age category splits; thus, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Projected demographic shifts indicate an overall population decline of 105 persons by 2041. However, specific age cohorts are expected to grow, notably the 25 to 34 age group, projected to increase by 203 people over this period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Hyde Park - Pimlico, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Hyde Park - Pimlico has seen approximately 8 new homes approved annually over the past five financial years, totalling 40 homes. As of FY-26, there has been 1 approval recorded so far. On average, 0.1 new residents per year per dwelling have been constructed between FY-21 and FY-25. This suggests that new supply is meeting or exceeding demand, providing ample buyer choice and capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts.

The average construction cost value of these homes has been $291,000, which is below the regional average, indicating more affordable housing options. In FY-26, $106.4 million in commercial approvals have been registered, showing strong commercial development momentum. Compared to the rest of Queensland, Hyde Park - Pimlico has significantly less development activity, 60.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established properties. Nationally, this activity is also lower, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints.

New development consists of 57.0% standalone homes and 43.0% attached dwellings, with a growing mix of townhouses and apartments offering options across different price points. Hyde Park - Pimlico reflects a highly mature market with around 637 people per dwelling approval. With population expected to remain stable or decline, there should be reduced pressure on housing in the area, potentially creating opportunities for buyers.
