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
Maryborough (Qld) has an estimated 19,294 residents, up from 18,558 at the 2021 Census — a change of 736 people, or 4.0%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 229 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 resident count of Maryborough stands at approximately 19,294 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 736 people (4.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 18,558 people. Such movement draws upon the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 19,255 alongside 87 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a resultant density of 229 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space alongside capacity for subsequent expansion. Inward interstate migration served as the primary growth engine, underpinning roughly 78.1% of recent population additions.
SA2 projections published jointly in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 baseline figures form the core foundation of AreaSearch's modeling. Wherever coverage is absent or projections extend past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 numbers issued in 2023 relying on 2021 data are utilized. Because state datasets omit demographic age partitions, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release based on 2022 data across each cohort. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national regional benchmark, expanding by 957 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to an overall gain of 4.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
180 new dwellings have been approved in Maryborough (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 36 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 36 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 81% 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 Maryborough have averaged roughly 36 new homes annually, amounting to 180 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. With an influx of 3.4 new residents yearly per completed dwelling across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing requirements outpace construction, exerting upward pressure on property values and intensifying buyer rivalry. Newly built residences average an estimated construction cost of $426,000, sitting below wider regional benchmarks and presenting relatively budget-friendly opportunities. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $112.4 million in the current financial year, highlighting strong local non-residential investment.
When evaluated against Rest of Qld, local construction volumes remain markedly subdued at 72.0% below regional average per person. Although building permits have experienced a recent uptick, the prevailing shortfall in additions helps sustain buyer interest and valuations for established stock. Building rates also sit below countrywide norms, underscoring the established urban footprint and potential regulatory hurdles. Detached houses constitute 81.0% of approved construction alongside 19.0% townhouses or apartments, reinforcing a low-density suburban landscape favored by buyers seeking generous allotments. An average of 402 people per dwelling consent demonstrates the subdued tempo of local construction. Demographic projections anticipate Maryborough expanding by 918 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly baseline. Present building pipelines appear adequately aligned with projected requirements, fostering balanced conditions across the market without generating severe pricing strain.

7,790 residents of Maryborough (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 8,351. Unemployment sits at 6.7%, with participation at 51.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 features a mix of professional and vocational roles, supported by a solid presence in essential community sectors, an unemployment rate of 6.7%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 9.2%. As of March 2026, employed locals number 7,790, while joblessness sits 2.8% above the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Workforce engagement remains subdued, with a participation rate of 51.1% against 64.2% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate that only 5.9% of employed residents performed their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time warrant consideration.
Major sources of resident employment include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. The community shows a heavy reliance on health care & social assistance, where local employment shares reach 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, building trades engage only 7.2% of the local workforce, trailing the 10.1% mark seen across Regional Qld. While local roles exist, comparisons between resident worker numbers and local job counts suggest substantial outbound commuting across the workforce. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures show a 12-month expansion in local employment of 9.2% alongside a 5.3% rise in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 3.3 percentage points. Across Regional Qld, employment grew by 0.1% and the labour force widened by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point rise in joblessness. Broader labor demand patterns can be evaluated via Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts, when applied across the local industry distribution, illustrate potential growth trajectories. Nationally, overall employment is projected to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Applying this sectoral distribution to the local job base yields projected employment increases of 6.3% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized population adjustments).

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 — 87 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,558 at the 2021 Census → 19,294 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.
