Daisy Hill (Qld) has an estimated 7,484 residents, up from 6,925 at the 2021 Census — a change of 559 people, or 8.1%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 69.0% of that increase. That puts 832 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
According to ABS population updates for the wider region and new address verifications by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Daisy Hill (Qld) has a residency of approximately 7,484 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 559 residents (8.1%) since the 2021 Census, which counted 6,925 individuals. This trend is determined from a resident population of 7,483, estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and 3 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. This population size results in a density of 831 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical averages across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 8.1% expansion of the suburb of Daisy Hill (Qld) since the 2021 census outperformed the SA3 area (6.7%), establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion in the locality was chiefly fueled by overseas migration, which made up approximately 69.0% of total gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For SA2 regions lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections from 2023, which use 2021 data, are utilized. Because these state forecasts exclude age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, using 2022 data) for each age bracket. Future demographic projections suggest that the suburb of Daisy Hill (Qld) will experience growth slightly below the median of Australian statistical areas, with a projected rise of 634 individuals to 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 8.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
68 new dwellings have been approved in Daisy Hill (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, well below 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval statistics allocated from statistical areas shows that Daisy Hill averages about 13 dwelling approvals per year, totaling approximately 68 residences over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 6 approvals have been logged. With an average of 6.3 new residents per year for each home constructed over the previous 5 financial years (running from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, which generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new properties carry an average build value of $737,000, showing developers are prioritizing the upmarket, premium segment.
Furthermore, $3.3 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, which highlights the residential character of the locality. Relative to Greater Brisbane, Daisy Hill generates around 68% of the per capita building approvals, ranking it in the 15th percentile of all areas studied nationally, which translates to fewer options for buyers and bolsters demand for existing homes. This performance also sits below the national average, reflecting the established nature of the area and indicating potential planning constraints. Recent residential builds consist of 83.0% detached houses and 17.0% apartments or townhouses, maintaining a low density profile with a focus on single family homes that appeal to buyers wanting space. The ratio of 1065 people in the area for every single home approval points to a quiet construction landscape with minimal development activity. Looking forward, Daisy Hill is projected to add 633 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). If the present rate of construction persists, the supply of homes may fall short of population gains, which could heighten buyer competition and foster stronger price growth.

4,248 residents of Daisy Hill (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 4,352. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 72.2%. 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 6,172, about 82% 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
Daisy Hill features a well-educated labor force with strong representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, according to AreaSearch's compilation of local statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 4,248 residents holding jobs, while the unemployment rate sits 1.9% below the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, and labor force participation matches Greater Brisbane's 70.4% closely. Census records indicate that a moderate 18.6% of workers performed their duties from home, though the influence of COVID-19 lockdowns should be kept in mind. The top industries employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The community shows a notable concentration in the construction sector, employing workers at 1.4 times the regional average rate. Conversely, the accommodation & food services industry is underrepresented, employing only 5.7% of the local workforce compared to 6.7% in Greater Brisbane. The local area appears to provide relatively few jobs within its borders, as shown by comparing the count of Census workers to the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader statistical areas, the local labor force contracted by 2.7% and total employment dropped by 3.1% during the year ending March 2026, leading to a 0.4 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane saw employment expand by 3.2% and the labor force grow by 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point increase. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to forecast growth trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Applying these sectoral projections to the local employment profile indicates that workforce numbers should grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison and does not integrate localized population forecasts).

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,925 at the 2021 Census → 7,484 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.
