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.

Pacific Pines - Gaven has an estimated 19,146 residents, up from 18,308 at the 2021 Census — a change of 838 people, or 4.6%. That puts 1,166 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 demographic research by AreaSearch, the resident count in Pacific Pines - Gaven stands at approximately 19,146 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 838 people (4.6%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 18,308 people. This updated count is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 19,143 recorded in June 2025 alongside 8 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With 1,166 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density aligns closely with benchmarks across comparable regions evaluated by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the district's 4.6% expansion post-census trails the broader SA3 area (6.7%) by only 2.1 percentage points, highlighting solid local momentum.
Inflow from abroad served as the primary growth engine, accounting for roughly 58.8% of total resident additions across recent periods. Projections utilised by AreaSearch for individual SA2 zones rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For locations lacking this coverage or extending past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 area projections released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are applied. Because these state forecasts omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings consistent with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data. Long-term outlooks indicate growth tracking in the lower quartile of nationwide regional districts, with population anticipated to rise by 226 persons through to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall expansion of 1.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Pacific Pines - Gaven over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 0.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Pacific Pines - Gaven have averaged approximately 9 dwellings annually, totaling 47 homes authorized over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same period between FY-22 and FY-26, around 4.2 people moved into the district per home constructed, pointing to a noticeable shortfall in supply relative to demand that tends to intensify competition and upward pressure on prices. New residential development carries an average expected construction cost of $356,000, sitting below the broader regional standard and providing relatively cost-effective opportunities. Meanwhile, commercial development has progressed at a moderate pace, registering $28.1 million in approved projects during this financial year.
Per capita construction activity in Pacific Pines - Gaven is subdued when compared to Rest of Qld, sitting 84.0% below regional average per person. Although building approvals have shown recent momentum, this constrained volume of construction generally bolsters values and demand for existing stock. Output is similarly suppressed against the national benchmark, reflecting the region's established residential footprint and potential planning constraints. Detached houses constitute 89.0% of new residential activity while medium and high-density housing makes up 11.0%, preserving the traditional low-density suburban landscape favored by families requiring spacious living. An approval ratio of roughly 1749 people per dwelling approval underscores the fully developed character of the local property sector. Looking forward, the population of Pacific Pines - Gaven is slated to increase by 223 residents by 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Given existing building output, residential supply is projected to sufficiently satisfy incoming demand, establishing balanced market conditions for prospective purchasers and potentially supporting growth trajectories beyond current expectations.

11,299 residents of Pacific Pines - Gaven are employed, from a labour force of 11,660. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 76.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,807, about 77% 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 in Pacific Pines - Gaven features a capable workforce with strong representation across vital community services, an unemployment rate standing at just 3.1%, and an estimated annual jobs growth rate of 3.3%. Total employment reached 11,299 residents as of March 2026, keeping the local unemployment rate 0.8% below the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld. In addition, economic participation is remarkably strong at 76.2% versus 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records show that only 12.7% of local workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
Major employers of local residents include health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction represents a key regional specialization, employing a share of workers 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of the Pacific Pines - Gaven workforce compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. Given its primarily suburban residential profile, the locality provides relatively few internal employment positions relative to its resident working population. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 3.3% while the labour force expanded by 3.2%, keeping local unemployment essentially unchanged. In comparison, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the labour force increase by 0.3%, and unemployment climb by 0.1 percentage points. Additional perspective on future local labour needs is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26, which have been aligned with the local industry profile over five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across sectors. Applying these industry trajectories to the employment profile of Pacific Pines - Gaven indicates potential local employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighted model that does not incorporate 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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,308 at the 2021 Census → 19,146 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 (309061249). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
