Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.

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.

Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. 353 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 1,048 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 investigations of ABS demographic releases covering the broader region, alongside fresh residential locations confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Eagleby's population is estimated at around 14,489 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 895 people (6.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the count was 13,594 people. The development is deduced from a resident cohort of 14,488, which AreaSearch calculated by looking at the June 2025 ABS ERP release and incorporating 353 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size represents a density of 1,048 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with the norms of locations evaluated by AreaSearch.

The suburb of Eagleby's 6.6% growth rate since census trails the national benchmark (9.3%) by 2.7 percentage points, showing solid underlying expansion. Growth in the locality was mostly driven by arrivals from abroad, which made up approximately 62.0% of the overall increase over recent timeframes. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia are used by AreaSearch for each SA2 zone, utilizing 2022 as the base year from their 2024 publication. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, or for dates beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are utilized. Because these state-level figures do not segment by age bracket, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 data. Looking forward, the suburb of Eagleby's expansion is expected to track slightly underneath the nationwide median for statistical areas, with projections at the SA2 level suggesting a rise of 1,236 persons to 2041, which represents an overall gain of 8.5% across the 16 years.

Recent permits consist of 86.0% detached houses and 14.0% medium and high-density housing, a mix that maintains the suburb's low-density feel and appeals to buyers looking for yard space. A ratio of approximately 246 people for every approved residential unit indicates a market in its early growth stages.

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 — 353 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,594 at the 2021 Census → 14,489 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL30915). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Eagleby suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Eagleby page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Eagleby data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
