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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Oxenford - Maudsland

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Oxenford - Maudsland has an estimated 19,768 residents, up from 17,920 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,848 people, or 10.3%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years. 108 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 41.5% of that increase. That puts 736 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 Oxenford - Maudsland stands at roughly 19,768 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 1,848 people (10.3%) from the 17,920 residents counted during the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 19,732 along with 108 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With this headcount, population density registers at 736 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with typical benchmarks evaluated across AreaSearch locations. Surpassing both the national pace and the 9.4% observed across Rest of Qld, the local 10.3% post-2021 Census expansion positions the locality at the forefront of regional growth.

Natural increase served as the primary contributor by generating roughly 41.5% of recent population gains, though positive inflows were also registered from overseas migration and interstate migration. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. Whenever coverage is lacking or when evaluating timeframes beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 area projections issued in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are integrated instead. Because these state figures omit age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch adjusts cohorts using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, demographers anticipate regional expansion above nationwide medians, with the community projected to add 4,104 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP statistics, generating a total increase of 20.6% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Oxenford - Maudsland

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

227 new dwellings have been approved in Oxenford - Maudsland over the past five years, an average of 45 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 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 84% 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

Annual residential approvals in Oxenford - Maudsland run at approximately 45 dwellings, totalling 227 homes sanctioned across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because 8.1 new residents per year arrived for each dwelling built across that same span of 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), demand vastly outpaces additions to stock, exerting upward pressure on property values and heightening buyer rivalry. Meanwhile, building projects reflect an average value of $423,000—sitting below the broader regional standard and pointing to relatively accessible price points for buyers. Alongside this, $31.8 million in commercial approvals was logged during this financial year, underscoring strong commercial development momentum.

Building activity across Oxenford - Maudsland falls substantially behind Rest of Qld, tracking 70.0% below the regional average on a per-capita basis. Constrained pipeline delivery generally bolsters pricing power and sustains demand across established stock. Construction levels also lag behind nationwide benchmarks, reflecting both the established nature of the suburb and probable planning constraints. Detached houses accounted for 84.0% of recent construction while townhouses or apartments made up 16.0%, maintaining a low-density character focused on detached dwellings that appeal to households wanting room to move. A metric of 526 people per residential approval highlights the subdued, quiet pace of development across the district. Demographic forecasts point to an increase of 4,068 residents across Oxenford - Maudsland by 2041, benchmarked against the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If residential construction volumes remain at current rates, additions to dwelling supply risk falling short of population expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and supporting higher property prices.

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 — 108 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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 (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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Apr 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 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 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.
