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 Proserpine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Proserpine has an estimated 9,539 residents, up from 8,858 at the 2021 Census — a change of 681 people, or 7.7%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. 233 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 81.3% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 population of Proserpine stands at approximately 9,539 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 681 individuals (7.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 8,858 residents. This shifting figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 9,503 combined with 233 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 4.6 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment. The local growth rate of 7.7% since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (7.6%), positioning Proserpine as a primary driver of growth in the territory.

The main contributor to these population gains was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 81.3% of the overall increase during recent timeframes. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for individual SA2 locations. In cases where this data is unavailable, or for periods extending beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 baseline data are implemented. Because these state-level projections lack detailed age distributions, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections with a 2022 baseline. Future projections indicate population growth exceeding the national non-metropolitan median, with the locality anticipated to add 1,592 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a total increase of 16.3% over this 16 years span.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Proserpine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

224 new dwellings have been approved in Proserpine over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, well below 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

An average of approximately 44 new residential approvals are registered annually in Proserpine, with 224 dwellings approved across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 28 recorded during the current FY-26 period. With an average influx of 3.1 new residents per built dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand outstrips new supply, typically driving up prices and intensifying rivalry among buyers. Newly built properties carry an average value of $1,039,000, indicating that development activity is concentrated on the high-end residential market. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $39.8 million have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to active investment by local businesses.

Proserpine registers approximately three-quarters of the per-capita rate of new residential approvals observed in the Rest of Qld, placing it in the 71st percentile of assessed areas across the nation. The composition of new construction is heavily skewed toward detached houses at 97.0%, with attached dwellings accounting for just 3.0%, thereby preserving the low-density residential profile of the area and focusing on family-oriented housing. With a ratio of approximately 186 people per approved dwelling, Proserpine displays the characteristics of a growing community. Demographic forecasts suggest that Proserpine will add 1,556 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Construction activity is currently keeping pace with these population projections, though prospective buyers might encounter increased competition as the local population expands.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Proserpine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

4,837 residents of Proserpine are employed, from a labour force of 5,021. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 64.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 economy supports a diverse labor force of both professional and manual workers, featuring a strong industrial and manufacturing presence, an unemployment rate of just 3.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 4.2% over the previous year. In March 2026, the employed resident population numbered 4,837, with an unemployment rate sitting 0.2% below the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, and participation matching the Regional Qld rate of 64.3%. Census statistics indicate that a modest 9.8% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been affected by pandemic lockdowns.

The resident workforce is heavily concentrated in the construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance industries. The locality displays a high degree of employment specialization in mining, where the job share is 2.1 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, accounting for 10.0% of local jobs compared to 16.1% across the region. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce suggests that local employment options within the area are relatively limited. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 4.2% while the total labor force expanded by 5.8%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% and the labor force grow by 0.3%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on prospective workforce demand in Proserpine. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by industry sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests Proserpine's employment could grow by 5.4% over five years and 11.8% over ten years, representing a simple weighting extrapolation for illustration rather than a local population-based forecast.

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 — 233 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,858 at the 2021 Census → 9,539 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 (312031361). 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 Proserpine 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 Proserpine 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 Proserpine 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 (May 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.
