Detail

According to ABS population releases and address validations performed by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of New Beith has an estimated population of 6,187 as of May 2026. This marks a rise of 545 people (9.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,642 people. The change is calculated from the resident population of 5,770, which was estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and an extra 113 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 327 persons per square kilometer, indicating plenty of personal space and room for prospective growth.

The 9.7% growth rate for the suburb of New Beith since the 2021 census was higher than the national benchmark of 9.3%, positioning it as a regional growth leader. Population gains were mostly driven by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 71.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though natural growth and overseas migration also contributed positively. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas without this data, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 and based on 2022 data) for individual age cohorts. Based on these demographic forecasts, the suburb of New Beith is projected to experience exceptional growth, placing it in the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide, with the population expected to increase by 12,385 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 193.4% over the 16 years.

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 analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, the suburb of New Beith has averaged approximately 32 dwelling approvals yearly, with an estimated 160 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 57 approvals so far in FY-26. With an average of 3.2 new residents per year for each home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is lagging behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives pricing upwards, while new dwellings are being constructed at an average value of $395,000—moderately higher than regional levels—suggesting a focus on premium builds.

Furthermore, commercial development approvals total $8,000 this financial year, pointing to a heavily residential market. Compared to Greater Brisbane, the suburb of New Beith has a low volume of building activity, sitting 75.0% below the regional average per person. This limited construction pace typically supports demand and valuations for established properties. New building approvals consist of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% medium and high-density housing, keeping density low and attracting buyers who prioritize space. With approximately 194 people for every dwelling approval, the suburb of New Beith displays the hallmarks of a developing area. Looking forward, the suburb of New Beith is projected to add 11,968 residents by 2041 based on the latest quarterly estimation by AreaSearch. If development remains at current rates, housing supply may fail to keep pace with population expansion, which could increase competition among buyers and support upward price 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 — 113 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,642 at the 2021 Census → 6,187 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 (SAL32127). 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 New Beith 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 New Beith 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 New Beith 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.
