Sales Detail
Bucasia has an estimated 5,118 residents, up from 4,915 at the 2021 Census — a change of 203 people, or 4.1%. That puts 469 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 demographic assessments of ABS regional updates and newly registered addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of Bucasia is estimated to be approximately 5,118 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 203 residents (4.1%) from the 4,915 individuals documented in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated from a resident base of 5,057 estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures, combined with 6 validated new addresses established post-Census. With these numbers, the local density stands at 469 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living and capacity for future development.
Bucasia's 4.1% post-census growth rate trails the SA3 region (6.8%) by 2.7 percentage points, showing solid underlying expansion. This population increase was mostly fueled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 59.0% of the overall gains, with positive contributions also coming from interstate and overseas migration. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2. For areas lacking this coverage or for periods extending past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 records are applied. Because these state-level figures do not detail age cohorts, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using weights from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which reference 2022 data. Anticipated demographic changes point to strong population expansion in top-tier non-metropolitan areas, with this locality projected to gain 1,641 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a 30.9% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
35 new dwellings have been approved in Bucasia over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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 statistical area building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Bucasia averages roughly 7 new home approvals annually, compiling to 35 residential approvals over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 18 approvals have been registered. Over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, new builds averaged 2.9 new residents per home, pointing to stable demand that should underpin local property values, with the average construction cost of new dwellings sitting at $437,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals valued at $823,000 have been logged during this financial year, which highlights a focus that is overwhelmingly residential.
In comparison to the Rest of Qld, building approvals in Bucasia are low, tracking 62.0% below the regional per capita average. This minimal incoming supply typically helps maintain demand and supports the pricing of existing housing, although development has increased recently. This construction rate also tracks below national levels, suggesting a mature market and potential development constraints. Furthermore, recent building activity is composed entirely of detached houses, preserving the low-density profile of the community and offering family-oriented housing. The ratio of 563 people per approved dwelling highlights the quiet pace of construction in the area. Future forecasts suggest the suburb of Bucasia will add 1,580 residents by 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If the current pace of building continues, new housing supply may fall short of population gains, potentially escalating buyer competition and boosting price growth.

2,853 residents of Bucasia are employed, from a labour force of 2,955. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 73.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,750, about 73% 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
Bucasia has a balanced labour market with representation across both white-collar and industrial sectors, recording a low unemployment rate of 3.5% and a 2.8% expansion in local jobs over the last year according to AreaSearch statistical area tracking. As of March 2026, there are 2,853 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate sits 0.5 percentage points below the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%. Furthermore, the participation rate is exceptionally high at 73.0% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data shows that a small proportion of workers, only 4.4%, performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
Local jobs are heavily concentrated in retail trade, health care & social assistance, and mining. The mining sector is especially prominent, holding a share of employment that is 3.9 times the regional average. Conversely, agricultural, forestry, and fishing pursuits are minimal, employing just 0.7% of local workers compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. Comparing Census figures for the working population and resident population suggests that local employment options within the immediate area are limited. Based on SALM and ABS statistics compiled by AreaSearch, the year ending March 2026 saw local employment grow by 2.8% and the labor force expand by 4.5%, which led to a 1.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for local employment prospects. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry profile to estimate future trends. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific rates onto Bucasia's workforce profile suggests local employment could expand by 5.8% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted model that does not adjust for local population shifts.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,915 at the 2021 Census → 5,118 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 (SAL30402). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
