Dakabin has an estimated 6,498 residents, up from 5,275 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,223 people, or 23.2%. Growth has averaged 4.2% a year over five years, faster than 92% of areas nationally. 241 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
In the suburb of Dakabin, the resident population reached an estimated 6,498 by Aug 2026, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS releases and post-Census validated address counts. Compared to the 5,275 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 1,223 people (23.2%). This figure builds on an Estimated Resident Population (ERP) baseline of 6,194 established via June 2025 ABS updates, combined with 241 validated new addresses identified subsequently. Consequently, the suburb of Dakabin exhibits a population density of 1,166 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader AreaSearch benchmark regions.
Outpacing both state figures and the 9.5% national benchmark, the suburb of Dakabin's 23.2% rise positions it among regional growth leaders, with interstate arrivals serving as the principal engine by delivering approximately 47.0% of recent population gains, supported by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections for the suburb of Dakabin utilise 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets founded on a 2022 baseline for local SA2 zones, transitioning to 2023 Queensland State Government projections (using 2021 data) for post-2032 modeling or gaps. Because state releases exclude age-specific distributions, age cohort weighting aligns with 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region data based on 2022 figures. Looking forward, the suburb of Dakabin is slated for above-median growth relative to Australian statistical divisions, with aggregated SA2 figures forecasting a rise of 1,397 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 16.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
317 new dwellings have been approved in Dakabin over the past five years, an average of 63 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 67 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 46% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 130, running ahead of 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across statistical geographies indicates that Dakabin registers approximately 63 residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 317 dwellings across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), alongside 130 approvals logged in FY-25. With local expansion averaging 3.4 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction volumes trail population inflows, generating upward pressure on local pricing and buyer competition. New homes demonstrate an average construction value of $378,000, aligning with broader regional building costs, while non-residential activity remains subdued with $731,000 in commercial approvals recorded during this financial year.
On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Dakabin run 107.0% above Greater Brisbane levels, providing incoming buyers with varied housing options and reflecting elevated developer sentiment compared to national averages. Medium-to-high density formats account for 54.0% of new residential development (townhouses and apartments) alongside 46.0% standalone houses, offering accessible price points well-suited to entry-level purchasers, downsizers, and investors. Dakabin reflects typical growth corridor dynamics with approximately 58 people per dwelling approval. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, long-term projections indicate Dakabin will add 1,093 residents through to 2041. Assuming current construction momentum persists, upcoming dwelling completions are well-positioned to satisfy housing requirements, supporting favorable market conditions and creating capacity for expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

3,583 residents of Dakabin are employed, from a labour force of 3,811. Unemployment sits at 6.0%, with participation at 78.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% 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 5,106, about 79% 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
Supported by robust representation across essential service sectors, Dakabin maintains a skilled local workforce characterized by a 6.0% unemployment rate and 1.4% annual employment growth based on aggregated statistical area records. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 3,583, with the jobless rate tracking 1.7% above the 4.3% reported for Greater Brisbane. Labor force participation is notably elevated at 78.3% compared to 70.1% regionally, while 13.8% of workers reported working remotely during the Census, a figure subject to broader Covid-19 restrictions at the time. Resident employment centers primarily on health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Retail trade represents a major area of local concentration, capturing a workforce share 1.5 times the regional norm, whereas professional & technical services under-index locally at 5.5% versus 8.9% across the wider region. Comparing the resident labor pool to local Census employment counts highlights that Dakabin functions largely as a dormitory residential community with limited internal job generation. Aggregated ABS and SALM figures show a 1.4% rise in employed residents alongside a 0.3% expansion in the local labor force over the 12-month period, reducing local unemployment by 1.1 percentage points, whereas Greater Brisbane registered gains of 3.2% in employment and 3.4% in labor supply, driving a 0.1 percentage point increase. National five- and ten-year labor forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26 project broader employment to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these industry projections against Dakabin's current industry composition indicates local employment expansions of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a baseline modeling exercise that does not incorporate specific 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 — 241 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,275 at the 2021 Census → 6,498 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 (SAL30789). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
