Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.

Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Growth has averaged 2.9% a year over five years, faster than 91% of areas nationally. 1,529 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 48.0% of that increase. That puts 522 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail

According to investigations of ABS population estimates for the wider region, alongside new address datasets verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Caboolture has an estimated residency of 35,807 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 6,273 residents (21.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 29,534 individuals. This shift is calculated from a resident headcount of 34,497, determined by AreaSearch following analysis of the ABS's most recent ERP dataset from June 2025, combined with an extra 1,529 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population count translates to a density of 521 persons per square kilometer, which offers substantial room per resident and capacity for further growth.

The expansion rate of 21.2% since the 2021 census outpaced the national benchmark of 9.3%, as well as state figures, placing the area at the forefront of regional expansion. Population increases were mostly driven by relocations from other states, which accounted for roughly 48.0% of the overall growth, though all contributors, including international migration and natural increase, remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia long-term projections for each SA2 division, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the reference year. For any SA2 localities omitted from this source, or for dates beyond 2032, projection figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 records are applied. It is worth noting that these state-level forecasts do not segment by age bracket; consequently, where they are applied, AreaSearch projects cohort sizes based on the proportional distributions in the ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which were published in 2023 utilizing 2022 data. Looking at forward-looking expectations, substantial growth is anticipated among the top quarter of statistical units nationwide, with this specific location expected to expand by 9,349 residents by 2041 under consolidated SA2 forecasts, representing a rise of 22.4% over the 16 years.

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 — 1,529 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (29,534 at the 2021 Census → 35,807 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 (SAL30471). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Caboolture suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Caboolture 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 Caboolture 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 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.
