D'Aguilar

D'Aguilar lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census date, D'Aguilar's population is estimated at around 1,888 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 414 people (28.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,474 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 1,772 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 241 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 185 persons per square kilometer. D'Aguilar's growth rate exceeded the national average (9.7%) and the state average, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 82.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, and Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data for areas not covered by this data and years post-2032. Looking at population projections moving forward, a significant increase is forecast, with the D'Aguilar (SA2) expected to grow by 547 persons to 2041 reflecting an increase of 18.0% in total over the 17 years.

In contrast, Greater Brisbane saw a 3.8% employment growth, 3.3% labour force expansion, and a 0.5 percentage point decrease in unemployment. State-wide, Queensland's employment contracted by 0.01% between November 2024 and November 2025 (losing 1,210 jobs), with an unemployment rate of 4.2%, closely aligned with the national rate of 4.3%. Job and Skills Australia forecasts indicate national employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to D'Aguilar's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 5.8% over five years and 12.3% over ten years, though this is a simplified extrapolation for illustrative purposes only.
