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.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 135 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 71.8% of that increase. That puts 2,591 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 assessments conducted by AreaSearch, the resident population of Tarragindi stands at approximately 11,790 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 846 residents (7.7%) compared to the 2021 Census total of 10,944 individuals. Such demographic growth is calculated from the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,785 alongside 135 validated new addresses established post-Census. With 2,591 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density places it within the upper quartile of Australian areas examined by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the 7.7% local expansion rate since census is within 1.8 percentage points of the 9.5% national benchmark, indicating solid demographic momentum.

Net overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 71.8% of recent population additions. For SA2 regions, AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia demographic projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In instances where SA2 locations lack coverage or for horizons post-2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 data are incorporated. Because these state figures omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution adjustments derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 benchmarks) across age brackets. In terms of long-term demographic expansion, local growth is projected to sit in the lower quartile of regions monitored by AreaSearch. Projections based on the latest annual ERP numbers anticipate the community will gain 280 residents by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 2.3% across the 16 years.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

320 new dwellings have been approved in Tarragindi over the past five years, an average of 64 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 64 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 72% 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 construction approvals in Tarragindi have averaged approximately 64 dwellings per annum, amounting to 320 residential properties over the prior 5 financial years. The local market added an average of 2.2 new residents per built dwelling annually between FY-22 and FY-26 across the past 5 financial years, highlighting resilient demand that underpins housing values. Dwellings approved during this period carried an average expected construction cost of $890,000, signaling a strong builder emphasis on upscale, high-end housing. Concurrently, non-residential activity has remained subdued, with commercial building approvals totaling $3.0 million during the current financial year.

On a per-person basis, dwelling approval activity in Tarragindi sits 52.0% above the Greater Brisbane benchmark, creating diverse opportunities for purchasers despite a recent moderation in building volume. Standalone houses represented 72.0% of recent residential builds while medium-to-high-density formats such as townhouses and apartments made up 28.0%, preserving the neighborhood's family-oriented, low-density character while offering options for buyers desiring space. This composition highlights a gradual transition from the existing housing stock, where houses comprise 95.0%, pointing to shrinking supplies of greenfield land alongside increasing demand for varied and accessible residential configurations. Furthermore, an approval ratio of roughly 262 residents per dwelling approval underlines an evolving urban development environment. Demographic projections published in the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures indicate that Tarragindi is set to add 275 residents by 2041. With residential building continuing at present rates, oncoming housing stock appears well-positioned to satisfy future household demand, establishing favorable conditions for property buyers and potentially facilitating population expansion beyond baseline expectations.

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 Aug 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 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 (303041071). 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 Tarragindi 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 Tarragindi 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 Tarragindi 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Jun 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 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.
