Sales Detail
Acacia Ridge has an estimated 7,765 residents, up from 7,486 at the 2021 Census — a change of 279 people, or 3.7%. That puts 894 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 investigations of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region, combined with fresh address validations performed by AreaSearch since the Census, Acacia Ridge has an estimated residency of 7,765 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 279 residents (3.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 7,486 individuals. This shift is derived from an estimated local population of 7,761 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP data alongside 60 new validated addresses recorded post-census. The current population translates to a density of 893 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical results across locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The primary driver of this population change was overseas arrivals, which accounted for approximately 66.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. AreaSearch implements the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the base period. In cases where SA2 sectors are omitted, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 base data) are substituted. Because Queensland state projections do not provide breakdowns by age group, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, the suburb is projected to experience growth in line with the lowest national quartile, increasing by 201 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 figures, representing an overall expansion of 2.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
120 new dwellings have been approved in Acacia Ridge over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 65% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis by AreaSearch of building approvals data from the ABS shows that Acacia Ridge averages approximately 24 residential approvals annually. This totals about 120 approved homes over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), with 21 approvals registered during the current FY-26. An average of 0.4 additional residents per year moved to the area for every finished dwelling during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25. This indicates that housing additions are keeping pace with or outstripping local demand, providing prospective buyers with diverse choices and allowing room for growth beyond baseline forecasts.
These new builds carry an average construction value of $398,000, which sits higher than regional benchmarks and indicates a focus on higher-quality builds. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $82.1 million this financial year, pointing to strong local business investment. Recent residential approvals are split between separate houses at 65.0% and medium-to-high density formats at 35.0%, with townhouses and units expanding the options from traditional family dwellings to cheaper, more compact alternatives. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock, which is 85.0% standalone houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and changing needs regarding lifestyle and affordability. The area has roughly 272 people for every approved residential unit, indicating a market with low development density. Long-term forecasts indicate that the suburb of Acacia Ridge will gain 197 new residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. Considering current construction trends, future residential supply is well-positioned to satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current baseline expectations.

3,435 residents of Acacia Ridge are employed, from a labour force of 3,974. Unemployment sits at 13.6%, with participation at 64.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,022, about 129% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Acacia Ridge has a workforce characterized by a range of skills and diverse industries, featuring an unemployment rate of 13.6% and a 7.6% rise in employment over the past year according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,435. The local unemployment rate exceeds the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3% by 9.2%, indicating potential for labor market improvement, while participation is lower at 64.6% compared to the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. Census records show only 10.2% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been affected by pandemic-era lockdowns.
The primary employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, where the employment concentration is 1.5 times the regional rate. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, accounting for 4.5% of jobs locally versus 8.9% across the region. With 1.1 local jobs for every working resident recorded at the Census, the locality serves as a employment hub, drawing in commuting workers from outside areas. Based on AreaSearch's compiled SALM and ABS statistics for the broader area, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 7.6% and the total labor force grow by 5.0%, resulting in a 2.1 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This trend diverged from Greater Brisbane, which saw a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on potential local demand. 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, the rates of change vary by industry sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific 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 — 60 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,486 at the 2021 Census → 7,765 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 (SAL30007). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
