This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
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.

Sales Detail
Cashmere has an estimated 5,399 residents, up from 4,970 at the 2021 Census — a change of 429 people, or 8.6%. Natural increase accounts for 59.0% of that increase. That puts 156 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Cashmere has an estimated population of roughly 5,399, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS population revisions alongside new addresses validated since the Census. When compared against the 2021 Census count of 4,970 residents, this represents an addition of 429 people (8.6%). This upward trajectory draws on an estimated resident population of 5,148 identified by AreaSearch following the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 15 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a population density of 156 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space per resident and capacity for prospective development.
Expanding by 8.6% post-Census, the suburb of Cashmere trails the nationwide benchmark (9.5%) by merely 0.9 percentage points, highlighting sound growth momentum. The primary catalyst for demographic expansion has been natural increase, representing around 59.0% of total population additions in recent times, supplemented by positive inflows from both interstate migration and overseas migration. To evaluate prospective demographic shifts across the suburb of Cashmere, AreaSearch applies ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent or extends past 2032, projections released in 2023 by the Queensland State Government (incorporating 2021 data) are used. Because these state figures do not break down age brackets, AreaSearch allocates proportional cohort weighting derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 based on 2022 data). Looking forward, aggregated SA2 projections indicate that the suburb of Cashmere is poised for substantial demographic gains placing it in the top quartile of Australian regions, expanding by 1,099 persons to 2041, which represents an overall 16-year increase of 15.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Cashmere averages approximately 1 approved residential dwelling each year, totaling an estimated 8 approved residences across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 51 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Over those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), approximately 0.7 people arrived locally for every dwelling built, signaling that new residential supply is meeting or exceeding local demand, expanding options for purchasers and facilitating higher-than-expected population growth alongside an average construction value of $405,000 per home. Meanwhile, non-residential development remains minimal, evidenced by $26,000 in commercial approvals recorded in the current financial year.
Residential building volumes in Cashmere remain subdued relative to Greater Brisbane, sitting 54.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark despite a recent pickup in activity. These figures also sit below the national standard, pointing toward a mature urban landscape and potential land supply constraints; however, this restricted flow of new construction tends to bolster asset values and demand across established homes. Approved construction consists of 83.0% detached dwellings alongside 17.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving a low-density neighborhood identity geared toward spacious family properties. This marks a noticeable evolution from the existing housing stock (which stands at 99.0% houses), responding to diminishing land parcels as well as evolving lifestyle preferences and price points. The area currently records around 177 people per dwelling approval, denoting a growing market. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Cashmere is anticipated to welcome an additional 848 residents by 2041. Given prevailing development activity, the delivery of new dwellings could fall short of resident inflows, which may intensify competition among homebuyers and place upward pressure on values.

3,189 residents of Cashmere are employed, from a labour force of 3,290. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 77.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,878, about 90% 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
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch highlights a proficient local labour pool in Cashmere with strong participation across key services sectors and a low unemployment rate of 3.1%. As of March 2026, employed residents number 3,189, keeping joblessness 1.3% under the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, while the local participation rate of 77.9% substantially outpaces the broader metropolitan level of 70.1%. Furthermore, Census records indicate that 22.3% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects conditions during Covid-19 lockdown measures. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The local workforce shows notable concentration in construction, where employment density reaches 1.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, accommodation & food services accounts for only 5.0% of local jobs compared to 6.7% in Greater Brisbane. A comparison between Census working figures and resident counts suggests that while local roles exist, a large proportion of workers commute outside the area for employment. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures across wider statistical areas, the year leading to March 2026 saw the local labour force contract by 1.0% and employment drop by 1.2%, which lifted the jobless rate by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% expansion in employment, a 3.4% rise in the labour pool, and a 0.1 percentage points increase in unemployment. Future labour demand patterns can be gauged via Jobs and Skills Australia's national forecasts from Mar-26, which project nationwide employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. When mapped against the local industry profile, these sector-specific forecasts project Cashmere's employment base to rise by 6.7% across five years and 13.7% across ten years (serving as an illustrative weighted extrapolation without adjusting for localized 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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,970 at the 2021 Census → 5,399 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 (SAL30556). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
