Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Following assessment of ABS demographic releases for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Kingsthorpe has a residency estimate of approximately 2,320 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 161 individuals (7.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 2,159 people. The change is calculated from a resident base of 2,289, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP statistics published by the ABS (June 2025) plus an additional 7 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. This population size represents a density of 50 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a spacious living environment.
Throughout the past decade, the suburb of Kingsthorpe has displayed steady growth patterns with a 2.4% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the Rest of Qld. Growth in the locality was driven mostly by interstate arrivals, which represented roughly 59.0% of the overall population increases recently, though all factors including natural increase and overseas immigration remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. In cases where SA2 sectors lack coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and grounded in 2021 data are utilized. Note that these state forecasts omit details on age cohorts; where they are used, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution ratios matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 data) for every age bracket. Looking at future demographic trends, population growth exceeding the median for regional Australian territories is anticipated, with the suburb of Kingsthorpe projected to add 463 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 statistics, representing an overall expansion of 18.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
108 new dwellings have been approved in Kingsthorpe over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
Based on AreaSearch research of ABS building approvals compiled from localized statistical datasets, the suburb of Kingsthorpe has averaged about 21 new homes approved annually, yielding a sum of 108 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 2 during the current FY-26. With a ratio of 1.6 new residents entering the area for every completed home built during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand and supply appear closely matched, resulting in a balanced property environment, although recent indicators show this ratio has fallen to 0.8 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing to a more balanced supply situation.
Newly constructed residential properties have an average anticipated construction cost of $469,000—slightly above the regional benchmark—which points toward a focus on premium projects. Furthermore, $5.0 million in commercial development approvals was registered during the current financial year, highlighting that the locality remains predominantly residential. Recent construction activity consists of 96.0% detached dwellings and 4.0% townhouses or multi-unit builds, maintaining a low-density character focused on single-family houses that appeal to buyers wanting space. The district registers about 59 people for each residential approval, showing a growing market. Looking forward, the suburb of Kingsthorpe is projected to add 432 residents by 2041 (calculated from the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures). Given current building patterns, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and possibly enabling population growth to exceed current forecasts.

1,107 residents of Kingsthorpe are employed, from a labour force of 1,149. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 64.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,804, about 78% 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 workforce within the suburb of Kingsthorpe features a balanced mix of professional and manual roles, with notable presence in industrial and production sectors, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.7%, according to AreaSearch collated data. As of March 2026, there are 1,107 employed residents, and the local jobless rate is 0.3% lower than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, while the labor participation rate matches the Regional Qld figure of 64.3%. Census returns indicate that a low 6.3% of workers perform their duties from home, though the influence of pandemic restrictions should be taken into account.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The locality shows a distinct concentration in manufacturing jobs, with an employment ratio that is 2.3 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food services accounts for only 4.0% of local jobs, trailing the Regional Qld proportion of 8.3%. The suburb appears to provide restricted local job options, as shown by comparing the count of active workers against the resident population during the Census. According to AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from regional datasets, the local workforce shrank by 8.2% during the year to March 2026, while total employment fell by 9.7%, which led to a rise in unemployment of 1.7 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional Qld, where total employment ticked up by 0.1%, the workforce expanded by 0.3%, and the jobless rate increased by 0.1 percentage points. National labor projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further perspective on expected demand in the region. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local workforce makeup to project future trends. While countrywide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different fields. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local labor profile suggests that employment in the suburb of Kingsthorpe will rise by 5.7% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (this represents a basic weighting model for illustration and does not incorporate local population 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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,159 at the 2021 Census → 2,320 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 (SAL31547). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
