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
Earlville has an estimated 4,455 residents, up from 4,200 at the 2021 Census — a change of 255 people, or 6.1%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. That puts 1,262 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
Based on statistical analyses of ABS updates and recent postal addresses confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Earlville has an estimated residency of 4,455 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 255 people (6.1%) from the 2021 Census, which registered 4,200 people. This adjustment is based on a resident figure of 4,438 estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with 69 validated new addresses established after the Census. The resulting population density is 1,262 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The suburb's post-Census expansion of 6.1% is within 0.8 percentage points of the wider SA3 area (6.9%), showing a steady growth trajectory. Recent population increases were largely underpinned by arrivals from other states, representing approximately 39.0% of the overall gains, though overseas arrivals and natural expansion also contributed positively. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this data, and for any timeframe after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are substituted. Since these state-level figures omit age-specific details, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth proportions based on the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts published in 2023 from 2022 data. Based on these anticipated demographic transitions, population growth is projected to be slightly under the midpoint for non-metropolitan zones, with regional SA2 metrics indicating an increase of 431 residents by 2041, which translates to a total rise of 9.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
113 new dwellings have been approved in Earlville over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Analyzing ABS residential building consent data allocated to local areas, the suburb of Earlville averaged approximately 22 residential approvals annually, totaling 113 homes authorized over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 8 approvals registered during FY-26 so far. An average occupancy of 2.3 new residents per dwelling over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25 points to sustained demand likely to support local property values. Newly approved dwellings carry an average build value of $490,000, representing premium development above regional averages. In contrast, commercial building consents totaled $55,000 for the current financial year, representing low activity in non-residential development.
In comparison to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Earlville displays slightly higher construction activity, running at 50.0% above the regional per-capita average over the 5 year period, which maintains choice for buyers while supporting current market values. Newly approved housing consists of 43.0% detached houses and 57.0% semi-detached options or multi-unit dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density housing offers accessible price points for buyers and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the current housing mix of 60.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and adapting to changing lifestyles and affordability needs. With approximately 222 residents for each approved home, the area displays low density traits. Long-term projections indicate the suburb of Earlville will add 414 residents by 2041, according to recent quarterly estimates by AreaSearch. In light of current building patterns, incoming housing supply is positioned to satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting population expansion beyond current forecasts.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Woree Social and Affordable Housing Precinct
Queensland's largest social and affordable housing precinct, delivering 490 modern, energy-efficient apartments specifically for seniors over 55 and people living with disability. The project utilizes innovative modular construction, with 1,008 volumetric timber modules being delivered to the site. The precinct features four distinct three-storey villages with landscaped gardens, community facilities, and onsite support services managed by Community Housing Limited. It is located near the Woree Aquatic Centre and local transit routes.
Bayview Heights to White Rock Underground Cable Project
Essential maintenance and refurbishment of 2.7km of 275kV underground high voltage transmission cables installed in 1997. The project addresses critical infrastructure risks through the removal of approximately 400 high-risk trees and the refurbishment of cable joint bays. Significant community enhancements include the installation of park benches, water bubblers with dog bowls, and shade structures along the Crowley Creek walking path. As of 2026, core transmission works are complete, and the project is in the extended maintenance phase for the establishment of 24,000 new compatible plants, with final completion expected in 2027.
Bayview Heights Reservoir Refurbishment
Remediation works are ongoing at the Bayview Heights water reservoir as part of a critical package to extend the service life of nine reservoirs across the Cairns region. Following an unsuccessful re-lining attempt in 2024 due to deteriorated roof conditions, the reservoir remains offline through the 2025-26 wet season. Current plans involve removing the roof in the 2026 dry season to restore serviceability. The project is vital for maintaining network pressure and water security, particularly during peak demand and extreme weather events which recently triggered Level 4 water restrictions in March 2026.
Cairns Reservoirs Remediation Package 2
Remediation works are underway across nine Cairns Regional Council reservoirs at eight sites: Mayer Street, Panguna, Bayview Large, Barron View, Runnymede, Brinsmead, Dempsey Street A and B, and Crest Close. The program includes concrete rehabilitation and strengthening, internal protective coatings, steel roof replacements at two reservoirs, access upgrades, minor civil works, access road repairs and temporary water supply works to improve water quality, reliability and security. Council reported in October 2025 that safety assessments, geotechnical surveys and structural testing had been completed, with repair and cleaning works progressing.
Westcourt Walking Network Plan
A comprehensive infrastructure strategy endorsed by Cairns Regional Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads to transform pedestrian connectivity within a 2km radius of the DFO Shopping Centre. The plan identifies priority infrastructure upgrades, including missing footpath links and improved crossings, to enhance safety and accessibility for schools, community facilities, and public transport hubs. It is supported by the 2025/2026 Active Travel Program with a city-wide budget allocation of $3 million to address high-priority missing links and safety concerns.
NQ Petro Service Station and Convenience Store
Development of a 24-hour service station and convenience store on a 3,761 sqm site at the former Woree drive-in theatre. The project includes fuel dispensers under a canopy, a retail building featuring a food and drink outlet, and two mixed-use tenancies. The site is strategically positioned to serve the adjacent 490-unit social housing precinct and handles high traffic volume from the Bruce Highway.
Enclave Cairns Residential Estate
Enclave Cairns is a boutique residential subdivision located in Earlville, approximately 7km from the Cairns CBD. Developed by Urbex, the estate covers 5.4 hectares and consists of 60 residential homesites ranging from 397sqm to 830sqm. Marketed as the last available near-CBD land release, the project features tropical urbanism design, local parklands, and proximity to major shopping hubs like Stockland Cairns and DFO Cairns. The estate is now fully sold out.
Manoora Infill Housing Development
A council-approved infill development delivering 150 rental units across three standalone buildings in Manoora, Cairns. The mix comprises 45 one-bedroom and 105 two-bedroom units with approximately 160 car parks. The site at 10-30 Pease Street and 164-172 Hoare Street replaces around 14 caravan park cabins and two houses. Developer NQ Villas Pty Ltd is seeking state and federal government funding support before commencing construction, targeting a start in 2025. The project addresses a critical shortage of rental housing stock in Cairns and is designed for low-to-medium cost occupancy.
2,130 residents of Earlville are employed, from a labour force of 2,251. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 60.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The workforce within the suburb of Earlville is characterised by a strong presence of essential services employees, with an unemployment rate of 5.4% according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, working residents number 2,130, while the local jobless rate sits 1.5% higher than the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%. Participation in the labour market is lower than typical benchmarks, sitting at 60.1% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate a low work-from-home rate of 11.2%, though this figure was likely influenced by public health restrictions. The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food services, and retail trade.
Conversely, primary industries like agriculture, forestry & fishing employ just 0.7% of the local workforce compared to 4.5% across the region. While some jobs are available within the suburb, census comparisons between local workers and residents indicate many travel outside the area for employment. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region, the past 12-month period saw a contraction in the labor force of 1.6% alongside a drop in employment of 3.9%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 2.2 percentage points. This divergence from Regional Qld is notable, where employment grew by 0.1%, the workforce expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these industry weightings suggests local employment would rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, noting this is a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry mix and does not adjust for local population changes.

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 — 69 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,200 at the 2021 Census → 4,455 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 (SAL30917). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
