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.

Peregian Beach - Marcus Beach has an estimated 4,374 residents, up from 4,107 at the 2021 Census — a change of 267 people, or 6.5%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the population of Peregian Beach - Marcus Beach stands at approximately 4,374 according to AreaSearch analysis. This represents an expansion of 267 people (6.5%) compared to the 4,107 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is determined using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,374 as of June 2025 alongside 19 validated new addresses added following the Census date. With a density of 319 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample room per person and capacity for future expansion. Furthermore, the local 6.5% rate of population growth since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 area (6.1%), positioning it as a regional growth frontrunner.
Recent demographic expansion was predominantly underpinned by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 79.0% of all net population additions. SA2 projections published by the ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are utilised by AreaSearch, while Queensland State Government SA2 projections released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are applied for post-2032 horizons or uncovered areas. Because state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, proportional weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) are incorporated for distinct cohorts. Under this modelling framework, demographic trends point toward a net contraction, with the local population projected to decrease by 138 persons by 2041. In contrast to this overall trend, selective age cohorts are anticipated to expand, most notably the 65 to 74 age group, which is forecast to increase by 75 people.

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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,107 at the 2021 Census → 4,374 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 (316051543). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
