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.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. 121 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. 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

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, the population of Monto - Eidsvold is approximately 3,852 as of May 2026. This represents an increase of 179 people (4.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 3,673 people. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,841 along with 121 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. With this population level, the density stands at 0.30 persons per square kilometer, offering residents substantial personal space. The 4.9% growth rate recorded since the census trails the broader SA3 area (6.6%) by 1.7 percentage points, showing competitive local growth conditions.

This expansion was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 88.1% of all population increases over recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and utilizing 2021 data are used. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age category, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth proportions based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data) for each demographic group. Looking at future population shifts, the model forecasts a contraction in the overall resident count, with the total population expected to decrease by 147 persons by 2041. Conversely, expansion is projected within particular older cohorts, especially the 75 to 84 age group, which is estimated to grow by 93 people.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Monto - Eidsvold

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

43 new dwellings have been approved in Monto - Eidsvold over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, broadly in line with that longer-run average.

Detail

Monto - Eidsvold has experienced about 8 residential property approvals annually, with 43 residential units approved over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 10 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. Because an average of 3.1 new residents per year arrived for each built dwelling over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand outstrips supply, which generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, whereas new homes are built at an average value of $233,000—below regional averages—providing more affordable purchasing options. Furthermore, $2.7 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the locality.

In comparison to Rest of Qld, Monto - Eidsvold exhibits approximately three-quarters of the per-capita construction volume, ranking in the 47th percentile of evaluated areas nationwide, which results in a relatively limited selection of new homes and maintains buyer interest in established properties, even though construction activity has quickened lately. This volume also falls below the national average, reflecting the established state of the area and indicating potential planning barriers. Additionally, recent building approvals consist entirely of detached homes, maintaining the low-density character of the region and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The metric of 438 people in the locality per residential approval highlights the quiet, low-scale development environment. Given that demographic projections point to stable or shrinking population numbers, Monto - Eidsvold is likely to see a easing of residential demand, which should benefit prospective purchasers.

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 — 121 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,673 at the 2021 Census → 3,852 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (319021508). 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 Monto - Eidsvold 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 Monto - Eidsvold 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 Monto - Eidsvold 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
