Sales Detail
Blacks Beach has an estimated 4,339 residents, up from 4,153 at the 2021 Census — a change of 186 people, or 4.5%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. That puts 704 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
Based on an evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Blacks Beach has an estimated population of approximately 4,339 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 186 residents (4.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 4,153 individuals. This shift is derived from a resident population of 4,312, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release and a further 5 validated new addresses since the Census. With these numbers, the suburb of Blacks Beach has a population density of 704 persons per square kilometer, matching typical averages across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Throughout the last ten years, the suburb of Blacks Beach has shown stable expansion with a 1.1% compound annual growth rate, ahead of the SA3 area. The population rise was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 46.0% of the total population gains recently, though interstate migration and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used instead. These state-level projections do not segment by age categories; therefore, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which use 2022 data, for each age cohort. Reflecting these expected demographic changes, substantial population growth within the top quartile of national regional areas is anticipated. The suburb of Blacks Beach is projected to grow by 1,616 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 36.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
31 new dwellings have been approved in Blacks Beach over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, running ahead of 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 of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas shows that Blacks Beach has averaged approximately 6 new dwelling approvals per year, with a total of about 31 homes approved over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 8 approvals have been logged. Considering that an average of 5.2 new residents per constructed dwelling have arrived annually over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand outstrips new supply, a trend that typically drives price increases and heightens buyer rivalry, with new residential projects built at an average expected construction cost of $458,000—slightly above regional averages—indicating a focus on higher quality developments.
Furthermore, commercial development approvals worth $1.7 million have been registered this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the locality. Compared to the Rest of Qld, Blacks Beach shows significantly lower residential construction activity, running at 60.0% below the regional per capita average. This undersupply of new dwellings generally bolsters demand and values for existing properties, even though building pace has quickened of late. This level of activity also sits below the national average, reflecting the established state of the area and suggesting potential planning constraints. Furthermore, recent construction is composed entirely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the neighborhood and highlighting detached properties that draw buyers looking for space. The ratio of 412 people in the locality for each dwelling approval underscores a quiet, low-activity development landscape. Looking ahead, Blacks Beach is projected to add 1,589 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If current building rates remain unchanged, residential supply may fail to keep pace with population growth, which is likely to escalate buyer competition and support upward pressure on prices.

2,380 residents of Blacks Beach are employed, from a labour force of 2,457. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 73.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,232, about 75% 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
Blacks Beach has a skilled workforce with notable representation in industrial and manufacturing sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of just 3.1% and an estimated annual job growth of 2.7%, according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 2,380 working residents, showing an unemployment rate 0.8% below the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 73.6% compared to the regional figure of 64.3%. Census data indicates that a low 4.3% of the working population operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Resident employment is heavily concentrated in mining, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. The local workforce has a distinct specialization in mining, with its share of employment reaching 3.5 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented, employing only 0.5% of the Blacks Beach workforce compared to 4.5% in Regional Qld. The balance between the Census working population and resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the immediate area are limited. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data for broader statistical areas, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 2.7% and the labor force expand by 4.2%, which led to a 1.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1%, labor force growth of 0.3%, and a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide additional context for potential future labor demand in Blacks Beach. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate potential growth. While overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests Blacks Beach employment would grow by 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population projections.

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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,153 at the 2021 Census → 4,339 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 (SAL30277). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
