Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

That puts 158 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

Kingaroy holds a population of roughly 11,063 as of Aug 2026 according to evaluations by AreaSearch. Compared to the 10,545 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 518 people (4.9%). This estimate incorporates an ABS estimated resident population of 11,059 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 57 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a population density of 157 persons per square kilometer, the locality affords substantial personal space as well as capacity for future expansion. The community's 4.9% post-census growth rate trails the broader SA3 benchmark (6.7%) by just 1.8 percentage points, highlighting solid demographic momentum.

Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 54.3% of total population additions over recent timeframes, with natural increases and interstate arrivals also registering positive contributions. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia utilizing a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 localities. For timeframes beyond 2032 or locations unaddressed by these datasets, 2023-released Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts founded on 2021 numbers are incorporated. Because state-level forecasts lack granular age-group breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates cohort distributions using proportional growth shares from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 figures). Accounting for these demographic adjustments, Kingaroy is anticipated to outpace the median expansion rate of regional Australian communities, adding 1,440 persons through to 2041 relative to latest annual ERP baselines, which represents an aggregate 16-year increase of 13.0%.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kingaroy

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

165 new dwellings have been approved in Kingaroy over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 33 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% 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

Residential building authorisations in Kingaroy have averaged around 33 dwellings annually, amounting to a cumulative 165 homes throughout the last 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26 across the previous 5 financial years, the locality gained an average of 2.9 additional residents for every newly constructed residence, underscoring solid underlying demand that bolsters real estate values. New dwelling construction costs average $428,000, sitting below regional standards and presenting more accessible price points for buyers. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $72.9 million during this financial year, illustrating strong progress across non-residential sectors.

On a per capita basis, new development volumes in Kingaroy sit 16.0% below the Rest of Qld benchmark, placing the locality in the 57th percentile nationwide despite a recent uptick in building approvals. This performance also trails national averages, pointing toward the settled nature of the township along with potential planning limitations. The composition of new residential approvals is overwhelmingly dominated by detached dwellings at 91.0%, while medium and high-density housing comprises 9.0%, reinforcing the traditional low-density neighborhood fabric tailored to households desiring larger blocks. With roughly 241 people per approval, the township maintains an open, low-density setting. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection, Kingaroy is slated to add 1,436 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing completions could fall short of resident inflows, which may intensify competition among home seekers and place upward pressure on values.

Detail

Kingaroy presents a diverse employment mix that includes both white and blue collar positions, with essential services playing a significant role in the local economy.

Manufacturing represents a major local specialization, capturing a workforce share 2.5 times that of the regional benchmark. In contrast, the professional & technical category is less prevalent locally, accounting for 2.4% against the regional share of 5.1%. While positions are available within the township, comparison of the Census working population against resident totals suggests a substantial portion of locals travel outside the area for employment. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the year to March 2026, local workforce headcount rose 8.2% alongside a 5.4% expansion in the labour pool, reducing the unemployment rate by 2.5 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the labour force grow by 0.3%, and unemployment edge up 0.1 percentage points. Additional perspective on future labour requirements is available from Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts dated Mar-26. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied across local industry distributions to model employment trajectories. Nationally, total employment is projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge widely across individual sectors. Mapping these sectoral projections onto Kingaroy's employment base indicates potential local job growth of 5.7% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighted model for context and excludes localized demographic 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 — 57 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,545 at the 2021 Census → 11,063 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 (319021505). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Kingaroy SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Kingaroy page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Kingaroy data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Sep 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
