Detail

According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Oxenford - Maudsland stands at approximately 19,768 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,848 residents (10.3%) from the 17,920 citizens recorded in the 2021 Census.

Outperforming both the national average and the Rest of Qld (9.2%), the area's 10.3% growth rate establishes it as a regional growth leader.

Natural increase was the primary contributor to these gains, accounting for roughly 41.5% of the population growth, though overseas and interstate migration also contributed positively. Projections for each SA2 area are sourced from ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, or for periods extending past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 records) are applied. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales growth weightings across age groups using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 (utilizing 2022 data). Current forecasts point to population expansion exceeding the national non-metropolitan median, with the locality projected to gain 4,117 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 20.6% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Oxenford - Maudsland

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

233 new dwellings have been approved in Oxenford - Maudsland over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 37 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Approximately 46 residential builds receive development approval in Oxenford - Maudsland each year, totaling 233 approved homes over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 43 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. An average influx of 7.8 people per year for every dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25 indicates that demand is outpacing local supply, a trend that typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition. The average value of these new residential constructions stands at $332,000, aligning with regional averages. Additionally, the local commercial sector shows positive momentum with $31.8 million in commercial development approvals registered this financial year.

Oxenford - Maudsland displays a low level of building activity when contrasted with the Rest of Qld, trailing the regional average per capita by 73.0%. This limited flow of new housing stock generally sustains interest and valuations for existing properties. This construction rate is also lower than the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market that may face geographic or planning constraints. The new building pipeline consists of 97.0% detached dwellings and 3.0% attached dwellings, preserving the local low-density aesthetic focused on spacious family properties. This emphasis on detached houses is higher than the 80.0% reported at the Census, demonstrating persistent demand for family residences despite density pressures. The quiet nature of the local building sector is highlighted by an estimated ratio of 586 people in the area per dwelling approval. Long-term forecasts indicate that Oxenford - Maudsland will add 4,081 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If current building rates remain unchanged, residential supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially heightening competition among buyers and supporting property values.

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 — 103 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,920 at the 2021 Census → 19,768 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 (309071256). 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 Oxenford - Maudsland 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 Oxenford - Maudsland 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 Oxenford - Maudsland 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 (Apr 2026) 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.
