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
Gulliver has an estimated 3,096 residents, up from 2,884 at the 2021 Census — a change of 212 people, or 7.4%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 63.0% of that increase. That puts 1,692 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
Drawing from ABS population statistics for the surrounding region and address registries verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Gulliver has an estimated residency of 3,096 individuals as of May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 212 people (7.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the head count stood at 2,884 people. This shift is calculated from the local population of 3,096, which AreaSearch assessed using the ABS June 2025 release of estimated resident population statistics alongside 26 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. Such a population size translates to a density of 1,691 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density found in other Australian areas studied by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Gulliver recorded a 7.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census, outpacing the wider SA4 region (7.1%) to establish itself as a regional growth frontrunner. This population rise was chiefly supported by natural increase, which was responsible for roughly 63.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections sourced from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. For SA2 areas where this data is missing, or for any periods beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 baseline data are substituted. Since these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings across age groups using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections with a 2022 baseline. Looking at the long-term demographic outlook, the numbers point to a shrinking population, with a projected loss of 126 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, gains are expected within certain age brackets, particularly the 25 to 34 age segment, which is set to rise by 67 people. Further details can be found in the age analysis section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
22 new dwellings have been approved in Gulliver over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permit statistics mapped from regional data indicate that the suburb of Gulliver averages roughly 4 residential approvals annually, yielding a total of 22 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 6 building approvals have been logged. With an average of 7.7 new residents added per year for each home constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is running far ahead of supply, a scenario that generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new properties are built with an average estimated construction cost of $366,000.
When measured against the Rest of Qld, construction activity in the suburb of Gulliver is extremely low, falling 65.0% below the regional per capita average. This lack of new inventory generally bolsters demand and valuations for established properties. Building activity also tracks below the national benchmark, showing the mature state of the area and indicating potential planning barriers. Recent completions are split evenly between 50.0% standalone houses and 50.0% attached dwellings. Focusing on medium to high-density options provides more accessible pricing and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This is a distinct departure from the local established housing stock, which currently consists of 89.0% houses, showing a dwindling supply of vacant land alongside shifting lifestyles and a requirement for varied, budget-friendly options. With approximately 881 people per permit, the suburb of Gulliver displays characteristics of a fully established market. Given that the population is projected to stabilize or decrease, the suburb of Gulliver is likely to experience less pressure on housing stock, which may open up opportunities for purchasers.

1,385 residents of Gulliver are employed, from a labour force of 1,524. Unemployment sits at 9.1%, with participation at 59.7%. 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. 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 suburb of Gulliver possesses a skilled labor pool, showing solid numbers in key public service sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 9.1% based on AreaSearch compilation of regional statistics. In March 2026, 1,385 local residents were employed, while the unemployment rate was 5.2% higher than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, indicating room for labor market progress, and the participation rate was somewhat low at 59.7% compared to 64.3% across Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a minor 4.8% of workers performed their duties from home, though the influence of COVID-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The top employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. There is a particularly high concentration of workers in public administration & safety, representing 1.7 times the regional average. On the other hand, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented at 0.2% compared to the regional average of 4.5%. This mostly residential community seems to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing the census-reported local workforce against the resident population. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional sectors indicate that the labor force shrank by 0.7% over the 12-month period, while employment dropped by 2.4%, pushing the unemployment rate up by 1.6 percentage points. This stands in contrast to Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labor force, and a minor 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context on future local demand in the suburb of Gulliver. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been adjusted to the local occupational profile to model growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth rates fluctuate widely across sectors. Modeling these industry-level projections against the local employment distribution suggests employment in the suburb of Gulliver will rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighting calculation for demonstration purposes and excludes local 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 — 26 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,884 at the 2021 Census → 3,096 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.
