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.

Detail
AreaSearch data indicates that Tarragindi had a population of 11,790 in May 2026. This figure shows a rise of 846 residents, which is 7.7%, compared to the 10,944 people recorded during the 2021 Census. The estimate combines the Australian Bureau of Statistics resident population of 11,785 from June 2025 with 135 newly validated addresses added after the Census date. With a density of 2,591 persons per square kilometer, the area ranks in the upper quartile among national locations reviewed by AreaSearch. The 7.7% increase since the Census falls within 1.6 percentage points of the national average of 9.3%, highlighting strong growth fundamentals.
Overseas migration accounted for roughly 71.8% of the recent population gains in the region. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Considering the projected demographic shifts, lower quartile growth of Australian statistical areas is anticipated, with the area expected to grow by 292 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting with an increase of 2.4% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
317 new dwellings have been approved in Tarragindi over the past five years, an average of 63 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 67% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 43, 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
Tarragindi has recorded approximately 63 residential building approvals on an annual basis, with a total of 317 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 40 recorded so far in FY-26. Over the prior 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the area added an average of 2.2 new residents for every finished dwelling, pointing to steady demand that underpins property values. The average construction cost for these new residences is $721,000, which indicates that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium market. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $3.0 million during the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential nature of the suburb.
In comparison to the broader Greater Brisbane region, construction activity in Tarragindi is somewhat high (measuring 31.0% above the regional per-capita average over the 5 year period), which offers purchasers choices while protecting existing home values, even though construction volumes have decelerated recently. Newly approved projects consist of 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% medium to high-density options, presenting a growing mix of semi-detached and attached options to suit varying budgets, ranging from large family residences to compact options. This represents a distinct departure from the current housing stock (which stands at 95.0% houses), pointing to a reduction in available development sites and reflecting shifting household needs and a demand for more varied, lower-cost housing types. With approximately 241 people per residential approval, Tarragindi shows signs of a transitioning housing market. Looking forward, Tarragindi is projected to add 287 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures). Given the current pace of construction, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, ensuring favorable conditions for home buyers and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current demographic forecasts.

7,072 residents of Tarragindi are employed, from a labour force of 7,226. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 77.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,917, about 76% 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 workforce residing in Tarragindi is highly qualified, with a strong concentration of professionals, a very low unemployment rate of 2.1%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.3% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 7,072 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 2.2% below the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%. Labor force participation is also exceptionally high at 77.2%, compared to 70.4% across Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates that a notable 27.9% of the local workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The major employment industries for local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. The suburb has a particularly high concentration of workers in professional & technical services, matching 1.6 times the regional average representation. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing is underrepresented, employing only 2.8% of the local workforce compared to 5.6% across Greater Brisbane. Comparing the number of working residents to local job numbers suggests this residential suburb has limited employment opportunities within its own boundaries. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the number of employed individuals rose by 5.3% and the labor force grew by 4.9%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% rise in employment and a 3.4% rise in the labor force, with its unemployment rate increasing by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand for Tarragindi. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the Tarragindi workforce profile suggests local employment could expand by 7.3% over five years and 14.8% over ten years (note that this is a direct weighted extrapolation for illustration and 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 — 135 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,944 at the 2021 Census → 11,790 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.
