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
Pacific Pines has an estimated 17,441 residents, up from 16,664 at the 2021 Census — a change of 777 people, or 4.7%. That puts 1,908 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
Based on the examination of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident population of Pacific Pines is estimated to be approximately 17,441 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 777 individuals (4.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 16,664 people. This shift is determined from the current estimate of 17,441 residents, which was calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS's June 2025 release of ERP figures combined with 9 verified new address listings registered after the Census date.
This population count yields a density of 1,908 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical density across national locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The 4.7% post-census growth rate in the suburb of Pacific Pines is within 1.9 percentage points of the broader SA3 area's rate of 6.6%, showing competitive expansion metrics. The demographic gains in the area were largely propelled by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 52.0% of the overall population increase over recent timeframes. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age groups by applying proportions from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 and based on 2022 figures). Looking at future demographic shifts, the area is projected to experience growth in line with the lowest quarter of regional areas nationwide, with projections at the SA2 level suggesting a rise of 196 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 1.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
44 new dwellings have been approved in Pacific Pines over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 0.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, broadly in line with 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 building approvals from the ABS, mapped from local statistical boundaries, the suburb of Pacific Pines has averaged approximately 8 approved residential dwellings per year, representing about 44 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 9 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.9 new residents per built dwelling arriving annually over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand is outpacing incoming supply, a trend that typically drives up prices and buyer rivalry, while the average construction cost of new homes stands at $350,000, matching regional averages.
Additionally, commercial development is moving at a moderate pace, with commercial approvals totaling $28.1 million during this financial year. Compared against the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Pacific Pines displays substantially lower building volumes, sitting 80.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited rate of new building generally supports demand and prices for the current housing stock. This rate also sits below the nationwide average, reflecting the mature state of the local market and hinting at potential planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent building activity has focused on single-family houses, maintaining the suburban environment characterized by detached dwellings that draw buyers looking for space. Interestingly, builders are focusing more on traditional houses than the proportion recorded at the Census (76.0%), showing that demand for detached family homes remains strong despite rising density. The ratio of approximately 2,053 residents for every building approval points to a mature, built-out community. Projections indicate that the suburb of Pacific Pines will add 196 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Under current construction trends, the volume of incoming housing should easily accommodate this growth, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially allowing the population to expand faster than current forecasts suggest.

10,284 residents of Pacific Pines are employed, from a labour force of 10,616. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 77.2%. 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 12,747, about 73% 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
Pacific Pines boasts a capable labor force with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of just 3.1%, and an estimated employment growth of 3.3% over the previous year according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 10,284 residents are employed while the local unemployment rate stands at 0.8% below Regional Qld's rate of 3.9%, and workforce participation exceeds standard levels at 77.2% compared to Regional Qld's 64.3%. Census responses indicate that only a low 12.3% of residents work from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into consideration.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The community has a high concentration of construction workers, with an employment share 1.2 times that of the regional average. Conversely, agricultural, forestry, and fishing activities are minimal, accounting for only 0.2% of local workers compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. The area's heavily residential character means local employment opportunities are limited, as shown by the difference between the number of local workers and the resident workforce. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader region shows that over the 12-month period, both employment and the labour force grew by 3.3%, keeping the unemployment rate steady. By comparison, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% and its workforce expand by 0.3%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on future employment trends for the suburb of Pacific Pines. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. Locally, overall employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, mirroring the projected national expansion rates, though actual trends will vary by industry sector (note that this is a simple weighted projection and does not account for local population changes).

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,664 at the 2021 Census → 17,441 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 (SAL32248). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
