Sales Detail
Gaythorne has an estimated 3,535 residents, up from 3,158 at the 2021 Census — a change of 377 people, or 11.9%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 42.0% of that increase. That puts 3,801 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Gaythorne's population is estimated at around 3,535 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 377 people (11.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 3,158 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,532, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 64 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,801 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Gaythorne's 11.9% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (8.1%), along with the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth that contributed approximately 42.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and interstate migration were positive factors. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are utilized for each SA2 area. For regions not covered by these datasets, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are adopted. Because the state-level figures do not specify age cohorts, weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 (using 2022 details) are applied to allocate growth across age brackets. Looking forward, the suburb of Gaythorne is anticipated to experience population growth exceeding the national median, expanding by 449 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, which translates to a total increase of 12.6% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
108 new dwellings have been approved in Gaythorne over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 6.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, 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
Based on statistical area building approvals, the yearly average of new home approvals in Gaythorne stands at approximately 21, translating to an estimated 108 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 27 approvals have been logged. The ratio of new residents to newly built dwellings averaged 2.5 individuals per home between FY-21 and FY-25, highlighting a strong demand level that supports property valuations. New residential construction projects carry an average expected build cost of $737,000, which points to a developer focus on higher-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $4.5 million in the current financial year, showing that non-residential building remains a minor focus in the area. Relative to the Greater Brisbane average, per capita residential approvals in Gaythorne are 59.0% higher, offering more options for property seekers even though the pace of development has slowed down of late. Houses make up 73.0% of recent builds, while medium and high-density structures account for 27.0%, preserving a classic suburban landscape suited for buyers wanting extra space. Developers are prioritizing detached family houses at a higher rate than the baseline proportion of 39.0% recorded during the Census, indicating sustained demand for standalone residences despite broader trends toward higher density. The suburb has roughly 469 residents for every single housing approval, highlighting its status as an established community. According to the latest quarterly estimates, Gaythorne is projected to add 446 new residents by 2041. With the current pace of construction, the supply of new dwellings is expected to satisfy demand comfortably, fostering favorable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating growth that outpaces current population forecasts.

2,034 residents of Gaythorne are employed, from a labour force of 2,182. Unemployment sits at 6.8%, with participation at 72.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,941, 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
The local labor force is characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in professional services, alongside an unemployment rate of 6.8% derived from aggregated statistical data. As of March 2026, employed residents count 2,034, while the unemployment rate sits 2.5% higher than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%. Labor force participation is typical for the region, showing 72.7% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Census data reveals that a moderate 23.1% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of lockdown restrictions. The primary employment sectors for residents are healthcare and social assistance, public administration and safety, alongside professional and technical services.
Public administration and safety is a major local specialty, employing residents at 2.2 times the rate seen across the wider region. In contrast, construction jobs are underrepresented, accounting for 4.9% of the local workforce compared to 9.0% regionally. The discrepancy between the census-recorded local workforce and the resident population suggests this largely residential locality offers limited job openings within its boundaries. Aggregated data from wider statistical areas indicates that over the 12-month period, the local labor pool shrank by 1.9% and total employment fell by 2.4%, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, the Greater Brisbane area saw employment expand by 3.2%, the labor force grow by 3.4%, and unemployment rise by 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate prospective trends. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local workforce data to project employment trajectories. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies widely by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents could rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration that excludes localized 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 — 64 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,158 at the 2021 Census → 3,535 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 (SAL31107). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
