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.

D'Aguilar has an estimated 2,209 residents, up from 1,474 at the 2021 Census — a change of 735 people, or 49.9%. Growth has averaged 8.2% a year over five years, faster than 97% of areas nationally. 284 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 217 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
Evaluating broad-area population updates from the ABS alongside newly verified addresses compiled by AreaSearch since the Census indicates that the suburb of D'Aguilar has reached an estimated resident total of approximately 2,209 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 735 people (49.9%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 1,474 people. Such growth stems from an estimated resident base of 2,116 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP figures from June 2025, combined with 284 new addresses verified following the Census. The local population density stands at 217 persons per square kilometer, preserving ample open space while accommodating future residential development.
Surpassing both Queensland and the wider Australian benchmark of 9.5%, the suburb of D'Aguilar's 49.9% gain since the 2021 census positions it as a premier growth node. Interstate arrivals have served as the primary growth engine, generating around 82.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. Projections for each SA2 territory rely on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models utilizing 2022 as their starting point. Where coverage is absent or extends beyond post-2032 horizons, AreaSearch incorporates Queensland Government SA2 projections published in 2023 from 2021 baseline figures. Because state models lack age-specific breakdowns, proportional cohort distributions are aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking forward, the suburb of D'Aguilar is projected to experience demographic growth exceeding the national median across statistical areas, with aggregated SA2-level figures anticipating an influx of 469 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 17.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
273 new dwellings have been approved in D'Aguilar over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 88th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 24 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 52 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 45, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval records across statistical boundaries, D'Aguilar averages approximately 54 residential approvals annually. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), roughly 273 dwellings were sanctioned, including 45 approvals recorded to date in FY-25. Demonstrating solid underlying demand, an average of 2.7 people relocated to the area annually for each new residence completed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). New dwellings carry an average construction cost of $462,000, while commercial construction approvals totaling $1.1 million this financial year underscore a sector heavily oriented toward residential building.
New residential building approvals per capita in D'Aguilar outpace Greater Brisbane by 122.0%, broadening options for prospective buyers despite a recent tapering in total building activity. This rate comfortably exceeds national figures, highlighting elevated developer enthusiasm. Recent development activity consists of 94.0% standalone houses and 6.0% medium- to high-density dwellings, reinforcing the locality's low-density layout and emphasis on spacious family residences. With roughly 46 people per dwelling approval, the market demonstrates steady expansion. Long-term forecasts anticipate D'Aguilar expanding by 376 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. The prevailing pace of home building is well positioned to satisfy this emerging demand, creating favorable market conditions for purchasers and laying the groundwork for development that could outstrip current demographic estimates.

1,103 residents of D'Aguilar are employed, from a labour force of 1,132. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 68.8%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 1,692, about 77% 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
D'Aguilar maintains a diverse labor force encompassing both manual and administrative occupations, characterized by strong concentration in the building sector, an unemployment rate standing at a modest 2.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 10.1% over the preceding year based on statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch. As of March 2026, 1,103 local citizens are employed. The jobless rate sits 1.8% below the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%, while the labor force participation rate aligns closely with Greater Brisbane's 70.1%. According to Census data, working from home was reported by just 11.3% of workers, a figure potentially shaped by COVID-19 restriction periods.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Specialization is particularly pronounced in construction, where local representation is 1.6 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 2.6% of the workforce compared to 8.9% regionally. Comparing resident workers against jobs located within the area at the Census indicates a limited local employment base. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM statistical data shows that in the year to March 2026, local employment expanded by 10.1% alongside a 10.4% rise in the total labor force, shifting the unemployment rate upward by 0.3 percentage points. Across Greater Brisbane over the same timeframe, employment climbed 3.2% and the labor pool increased 3.4%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future labor demand for D'Aguilar. Applying national industry forecasts—which project overall job gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years—to D'Aguilar's industry profile indicates potential local job expansion of 5.8% over five years and 12.3% across ten years (modeled purely on industry-weighting assumptions without local population adjustments).

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 — 284 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,474 at the 2021 Census → 2,209 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.
