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
Nambour has an estimated 13,452 residents, up from 12,145 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,307 people, or 10.8%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. 348 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 1,240 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates and addresses verified by AreaSearch indicates that the suburb of Nambour has a population of approximately 13,452 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,307 residents (10.8%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 12,145 people. The figure is calculated from a resident population of 13,195, calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP data release, combined with an additional 348 validated new addresses since the Census. This population level represents a density of 1,239 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio for locations evaluated nationally by AreaSearch.
The 10.8% expansion in the suburb of Nambour since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the national benchmark, establishing the area as a regional growth leader. This expansion was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 62.0% of the overall population gains, though all factors, including overseas migration and natural growth, remained positive. AreaSearch utilises projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for the years after 2032, the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections from 2023 (based on 2021 data) are used. Because these state projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age groups using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Demographic trends point to substantial population gains in the upper quartile of non-metropolitan locations across Australia. Based on combined SA2 forecasts, the suburb of Nambour is projected to add 3,543 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 24.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
469 new dwellings have been approved in Nambour over the past five years, an average of 93 a year. That places the area in the 84th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 82 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 68% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 43, 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
AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals indicate that Nambour averages approximately 93 new residential approvals annually, with a total of 469 homes approved over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 40 approvals have been logged. Over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, an average of 2.4 residents relocated to the area for every new dwelling built, suggesting robust demand that is likely to bolster local property values. The average expected construction cost for these new dwellings is $409,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $23.7 million have been registered during this financial year, pointing to consistent investment in business infrastructure.
Nambour maintains residential construction rates per person that are comparable to the Rest of Qld, keeping the local market in balance with neighboring regions. Recently approved housing consists of 68.0% standalone houses and 32.0% medium and high-density developments. This rising proportion of multi-unit dwellings provides a broader spectrum of property options, spanning from conventional houses to lower-cost compact units. With a ratio of approximately 164 residents for every approved dwelling, Nambour displays the hallmarks of an expanding area. Projections indicate Nambour will add 3,286 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Residential construction is keeping pace with these expansion forecasts, although home buyers may face increased competition as the local population increases.

6,013 residents of Nambour are employed, from a labour force of 6,494. Unemployment sits at 7.4%, with participation at 59.6%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 11,316, about 84% 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 workforce is evenly divided between professional and manual roles, with a strong representation in essential services. According to AreaSearch data compiled for the region, the unemployment rate stands at 7.4%. In March 2026, 6,013 residents were employed. The unemployment rate is 3.5% higher than the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%, highlighting potential for economic development, while the participation rate is lower than the regional average, sitting at 59.6% compared to 64.3% for Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a modest 9.2% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic containment measures.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The local workforce has a notable concentration in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.3 times the regional rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.4% of local employment, compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. The comparison between the local working population and the total resident population suggests this mostly residential community has a limited number of local jobs. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region shows that over a 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 2.6% and total employment fell by 4.2%, leading to a 1.5 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% expansion of the labor force, and a minor 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be evaluated using the May-25 national employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these industry trends to the local employment structure suggests employment for residents would rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that 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 — 348 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,145 at the 2021 Census → 13,452 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.
