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.

Pimpama - South has an estimated 12,978 residents, up from 10,491 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,487 people, or 23.7%. Growth has averaged 5.2% a year over five years, faster than 92% of areas nationally. 315 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

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 community of Pimpama - South accommodates approximately 12,978 residents as of Aug 2026. Comparing this against the 2021 Census count of 10,491 people indicates an expansion of 2,487 people (23.7%). This metric is derived from an ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,833 registered as of June 2025, alongside 315 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. Consequently, the local density reaches 2,963 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the upper quartile among all areas nationwide evaluated by AreaSearch. Surpassing both the Australian standard and the 9.4% rate seen across Rest of Qld, Pimpama - South's 23.7% surge establishes it as an outstanding regional growth pocket.
Natural increase served as the foremost component of this expansion, accounting for roughly 53.2% of recent net additions, supplemented by positive inflows from both interstate migration and overseas migration. In formulating demographic forecasts across SA2 regions, AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 (taking 2022 as their origin). When considering timeline windows beyond 2032 or areas omitted from that dataset, projections provided by the Queensland State Government (issued in 2023 utilizing 2021 baselines) are referenced. Because state figures lack cohort divisions, AreaSearch applies relative weighting distributions drawn from the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (published in 2023 based on 2022 data) across individual age brackets. Looking forward, long-term projections place the precinct in the top quartile of Australian regional locations, anticipating an influx of 4,807 persons by 2041 relative to latest ERP benchmarks, which translates to a total 16-year expansion of 35.9%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
228 new dwellings have been approved in Pimpama - South over the past five years, an average of 45 a year. That places the area in the 88th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 20% 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
Residential building approvals across Pimpama - South have maintained a pace of roughly 45 new dwellings per annum, delivering a cumulative total of 228 homes across the last 5 financial years. With an inflow of 12.7 new residents per completed dwelling over the prior 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to housing stock fall well short of demand, driving competitive market conditions that place upward pressure on prices. Newly approved residential builds reflect an average construction cost of $425,000, presenting a relatively accessible price structure relative to broader regional metrics.
Concurrently, non-residential activity has been limited, with commercial approvals amounting to $5.1 million during this financial year, underscoring the district's predominantly residential character. Relative to Rest of Qld, per-capita residential development in Pimpama - South is considerably subdued, sitting 52.0% below the regional norm. Although recent construction has gathered pace, this general scarcity of new builds typically elevates competition and values across existing housing stock. High-density structures such as townhouses or apartments comprise 80.0% of recent approvals, while detached houses account for 20.0%. This pivot toward denser typologies caters to first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors seeking accessible price points. It also marks a departure from the prevailing local property landscape, where standalone houses represent 86.0% of stock, indicating land constraints alongside rising demand for diverse living options. The market continues to expand, registering approximately 186 people per dwelling approval. Projections indicate that Pimpama - South will add 4,662 residents leading up to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. If building volumes remain at current rates, additions to the dwelling stock will likely fall short of demographic expansion, intensifying buyer competition and supporting ongoing value appreciation.

7,183 residents of Pimpama - South are employed, from a labour force of 7,478. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 78.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 10,095, about 78% 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 Pimpama - South demonstrates strong participation and technical capacity, marked by prominent industrial and manufacturing activity, a low jobless rate of 3.9%, and an annual employment growth rate of 3.7%. By March 2026, employed residents reached 7,183, while the local unemployment rate aligned with the 3.9% observed across Regional Qld. Furthermore, the local workforce participation rate reached 78.7%, significantly exceeding the Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Regarding working arrangements, Census figures revealed that only 10.0% of workers operated from home, though temporary Covid-19 restrictions may have influenced these findings.
A substantial portion of local resident workers are engaged in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Retail trade shows particular local concentration, generating an employment concentration 1.4 times greater than the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for merely 0.4% of resident workers, trailing the 4.5% recorded across Regional Qld. Comparing Census resident counts with locally based working positions suggests that this largely residential community provides relatively few employment options within its own boundaries. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 3.7% against a 3.2% rise in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 0.5 percentage points. This outpaced Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in joblessness. Further insights into local workforce trends emerge from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections. Extrapolating these multi-year industry trajectories across Pimpama - South's sectoral footprint suggests local employment could rise by 6.3% across five years and 13.2% over ten years, compared to Australian projections of 6.6% and 13.7% over the respective five and ten-year horizons (this calculation represents an illustrative sectoral weighting model that excludes localized population adjustments).

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 — 315 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,491 at the 2021 Census → 12,978 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.
