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.

Detail
According to research by AreaSearch, the resident count in Moffat Beach - Battery Hill stands at approximately 8,326 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 196 people (2.4%) compared to the 8,130 people recorded at the 2021 Census. The updated estimate combines ABS estimated resident population figures of 8,303 as of June 2025 with 67 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a resultant density of 2,140 persons per square kilometer, the locality sits higher than the national benchmark across areas assessed by AreaSearch. Inbound overseas migration has served as the primary demographic catalyst, accounting for virtually all recent population expansion.
Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), supplemented by Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 (based on 2021 data) for unmapped zones and timeframes extending past 2032. Because state datasets omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age cohorts by applying growth weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region 2023 release (2022 baseline). Looking ahead, local expansion is anticipated to track slightly under the national non-metropolitan median, with the latest annual ERP baseline suggesting an increase of 759 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 8.8% over the 16 years.

4,083 residents of Moffat Beach - Battery Hill are employed, from a labour force of 4,249. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 59.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,268, about 87% 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 features an educated resident workforce, substantial representation across essential service industries, and a low unemployment rate of 3.9%. Total employed persons numbered 4,083 as of March 2026, matching the 3.9% unemployment figure reported across Regional Qld, while the local participation rate of 59.8% trails the regional level of 64.2%. Census figures showed 18.3% of workers operating from home, though broader Covid-19 restrictions during that period should be taken into account. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
Employment concentration is particularly pronounced in health care & social assistance, where the local representation is 1.3 times the regional level. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.7% of the Moffat Beach - Battery Hill workforce, well below the 4.5% observed in Regional Qld. Census comparisons between local workers and resident totals indicate that the district serves primarily as a residential catchment with limited internal employment generation. Analysis of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12-month period, the local workforce contracted by 2.2% alongside a 2.8% reduction in total employment, elevating the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same interval across Regional Qld, employment grew by 0.1%, the workforce expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. Long-term outlooks can be evaluated using national industry projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these national sector trajectories to the local occupational structure indicates prospective employment expansion in Moffat Beach - Battery Hill of 7.1% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses weighted industry shares for illustrative purposes and excludes 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 — 67 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,130 at the 2021 Census → 8,326 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 (316021422). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
