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.

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Kingaroy

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Kingaroy has an estimated 10,763 residents, up from 10,266 at the 2021 Census — a change of 497 people, or 4.8%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. That puts 157 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 ABS population releases for the wider region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Kingaroy has an estimated population of approximately 10,763 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 497 people (4.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,266 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 10,761, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) plus an additional 53 validated new addresses since the Census date. Such a population level translates to a density ratio of 157 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial room per individual and capacity for future housing expansion.

The 4.8% growth rate in the suburb of Kingaroy since the census is within 1.8 percentage points of the SA3 area (6.6%), showing competitive growth indicators. Local population gains were primarily driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 45.0% of overall increases in recent times, though all indicators, including natural increase and interstate migration, made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 areas without this coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized. These state-level projections lack age breakdown statistics; therefore, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Looking ahead at demographic changes, the suburb of Kingaroy is projected to experience population growth above the median of national non-metropolitan regions, with the locality forecast to expand by 1,413 residents by 2041 under combined SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 13.1% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kingaroy

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

138 new dwellings have been approved in Kingaroy over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, 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

According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval statistics distributed from statistical area data, Kingaroy has averaged approximately 27 annual dwelling approvals, accumulating to an estimated 138 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 45 approvals have been registered. With an average of 3.3 new residents per year for each home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, which generally drives prices upward and heightens buyer rivalry, while new homes average a development value of $515,000—slightly above regional averages—indicating a focus on higher quality builds.

Commercial approvals have also reached $72.9 million this financial year, pointing to strong local business investment. Relative to Rest of Qld, Kingaroy exhibits 19.0% less new construction per resident, placing it in the 51st percentile of localities analysed nationwide. This also sits below the national benchmark, pointing to the mature state of the area and indicating potential planning constraints. Recent building activity consists of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% semi-detached or attached residences, maintaining the low-density profile with a focus on stand-alone homes that draw buyers looking for space. Averaging roughly 320 people for each dwelling approval, Kingaroy exhibits the traits of a low-density community. Demographic projections indicate Kingaroy's population will rise by 1,411 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If current building rates do not accelerate, residential supply may fall behind population expansion, which is likely to escalate buyer competition and support price appreciation.

Detail

Kingaroy maintains a balanced labor market featuring a mix of white and blue collar jobs, with a solid representation of essential service sectors, an unemployment rate of just 4.0%, and an estimated job growth of 8.2% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch's compiled statistical area statistics.

Conversely, construction is underrepresented, employing 7.3% of the Kingaroy workforce compared to 10.1% across Regional Qld.

Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader statistical zones, employment grew by 8.2% during the 12 months ending March 2026, while the labor force expanded by 5.4%, leading to a 2.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This contrasts with Regional Qld, where employment rose by 0.1%, the labor force grew by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate increased by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand in Kingaroy. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local workforce patterns to project development trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry forecasts onto the local employment composition suggests Kingaroy's local job count should rise by 5.7% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration and excludes local population growth forecasts).

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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,266 at the 2021 Census → 10,763 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 (SAL31542). 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 Kingaroy 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 Kingaroy 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 Kingaroy 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.
