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
Deagon has an estimated 4,034 residents, up from 3,773 at the 2021 Census — a change of 261 people, or 6.9%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. That puts 1,431 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 population updates from the ABS for the wider region alongside newly confirmed addresses recorded by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Deagon is calculated to have approximately 4,034 residents as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 261 people (6.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,773 people. The adjustment derives from the resident count of 4,034 evaluated by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release as well as 40 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. This population corresponds to a density of 1,430 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical level observed across national areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
With 6.9% growth post-Census, the suburb of Deagon sits within 0.8 percentage points of the SA3 area (7.7%), demonstrating solid underlying expansion. Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary growth contributor, accounting for roughly 39.0% of total population additions in recent periods, with overseas migration and natural increase also making positive additions. Projections from the ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year are utilised by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For SA2 areas lacking coverage or for dates extending past 2032, Queensland State Government projections published in 2023 relying on 2021 data are used instead. Because those state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data) across each age bracket. Looking ahead, population trajectory for the suburb of Deagon is expected to track in the lower quartile of statistical areas nationwide, expanding by 125 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level figures, representing an overall increase of 3.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
99 new dwellings have been approved in Deagon over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 5.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, 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 review of ABS residential building approvals apportioned from statistical areas indicates that Deagon has averaged approximately 19 new residential approvals annually, totaling roughly 99 homes across the prior 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 14 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.8 new occupants added each year per home built throughout the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), construction and occupant demand have remained largely in equilibrium, fostering a steady environment, although over the last 2 financial years this ratio rose to 5 people per dwelling, signaling heightened demand and emerging supply limits.
Approved dwellings average an estimated construction cost of $547,000, higher than standard regional figures and pointing toward higher-end construction. Concurrently, $1.4 million in commercial approvals was registered during the current financial year, demonstrating subdued commercial building activity. Relative to Greater Brisbane, building activity in Deagon is slightly elevated (49.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), giving purchasers variety while underpinning local valuations, although the pace of construction has moderated lately. Furthermore, recent development has consisted exclusively of detached houses, preserving the neighbourhood's low-density character and supplying family-oriented stock for purchasers prioritizing space. Recording roughly 276 people per approval, Deagon displays the hallmarks of an evolving market. Forecasts indicate that Deagon will welcome an additional 125 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Provided building activity continues at prevailing levels, incoming residential stock is projected to comfortably accommodate this inflow, maintaining favorable buying conditions and potentially facilitating population expansion beyond projected targets.

2,340 residents of Deagon are employed, from a labour force of 2,484. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 73.5%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 3,364, about 83% 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
Deagon possesses a capable labour base with substantial representation in essential services, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 5.8% and an estimated 7.4% rise in employment over the preceding twelve months according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, employed residents count 2,340, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.5% higher than the 4.3% reported across Greater Brisbane, while labour force participation stands at a standard 73.5% versus 70.1% for Greater Brisbane. Census records indicate that 21.1% of working residents operated from home, an outcome potentially influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors among local workers consist of health care & social assistance, construction, and public administration & safety. Construction displays notable local concentration, employing residents at a rate 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a smaller proportion of the workforce at 7.4%, compared to 8.9% across the wider region. As evidenced by the comparison between Census working figures and the local resident population, this residential community provides limited workplace opportunities within its borders. AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM figures across statistical zones shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 7.4% alongside a 7.2% increase in the labour force, yielding a 0.2 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded 3.2% employment growth, a 3.4% rise in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. National employment outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context for prospective labour demand across Deagon. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, are mapped against local industry composition to assess forward trajectories. Nationally, employment is anticipated to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Applying these industry rates to Deagon's workforce structure projects local employment increases of 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (a weighted extrapolation provided for context without factoring in localized population trends).

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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,773 at the 2021 Census → 4,034 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.
