Sales Detail
Pacific Pines has an estimated 17,445 residents, up from 16,664 at the 2021 Census — a change of 781 people, or 4.7%. That puts 1,909 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases and validated post-Census address records, the suburb of Pacific Pines has reached an estimated population of approximately 17,445 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 781 people (4.7%) relative to the 16,664 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such growth is deduced from an estimated resident population base of 17,442 calculated from the ABS ERP figures (June 2025) alongside 8 validated new addresses registered since the Census benchmark. Consequently, population density stands at 1,908 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark seen across nationwide locations analysed by AreaSearch.
Moreover, the 4.7% expansion recorded by the suburb of Pacific Pines since the Census sits within 2.0 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (6.7%), highlighting solid demographic momentum. Net overseas arrivals served as the primary contributor to local expansion, generating roughly 52.0% of recent population additions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as its baseline for SA2 regions. For locations beyond this coverage or targeting years past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are adopted. Because state-level datasets omit granular age brackets, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, the suburb of Pacific Pines is projected to experience expansion in line with the lower quartile of Australia's regional territories, adding an estimated 179 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 modeling, translating to an overall growth rate of 1.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
43 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 13, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals compiled by AreaSearch indicates that the locality has maintained an average volume of roughly 8 residential approvals per year. Across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), around 43 residential dwellings were sanctioned, including 13 logged during FY-25 to date. With an influx of 3.9 new residents annually per built dwelling over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential construction trails demographic requirements by a considerable margin, typically fostering tighter market conditions and upward value momentum. Meanwhile, newly approved residential builds reflect an average construction cost of $287,000, coming in lower than regional averages and providing relatively accessible entry price points for purchasers.
In addition, the current financial year has registered $28.1 million in approved commercial development, pointing to a moderate volume of non-residential building activity. In comparison to Rest of Qld, local building approval activity remains sharply subdued, tracking 83.0% below the regional per capita norm. Although construction velocity has picked up in recent periods, this constrained development pipeline continues to underpin demand and pricing for existing housing stock. Output also trails broader nationwide figures, reflecting an established suburban landscape alongside potential planning limitations. Recent residential construction has been heavily concentrated in standalone houses at 89.0%, with medium and high-density formats comprising the remaining 11.0%, thereby preserving a low-density character favoured by families seeking spacious living. With approximately 1587 people per approval, the area clearly exhibits the characteristics of a mature residential community. Demographic outlooks indicate that the local resident base will expand by 176 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update. Under existing building trajectories, the supply of incoming homes appears well-positioned to satisfy demand, creating favourable conditions for property buyers and offering scope for expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

The original masterplanned development has been substantially completed and now operates as an established suburb.
10,269 residents of Pacific Pines are employed, from a labour force of 10,600. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 76.6%. 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 12,759, 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
The local labour market features a highly capable talent pool with strong representation in foundational industries, an unemployment rate standing at just 3.1%, and an estimated annual job creation rate of 3.3% according to AreaSearch's regional analysis. By March 2026, employed residents totaled 10,269, while local unemployment sat 0.8% below the Regional Qld figure of 3.9%. Labour force engagement is particularly elevated, reaching 76.6% compared to 64.2% across Regional Qld. In addition, Census records show that a modest 12.3% of workers operated from home, though this metric reflects conditions during Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment fields absorbing local residents consist of health care & social assistance, construction, as well as retail trade. The workforce displays an exceptional concentration in construction, where representation is 1.2 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only a minor fraction of local jobs at 0.2%, compared to 4.5% regionally. As a largely residential enclave, internal employment capacity remains limited, as evidenced by Census workplace versus resident worker counts. According to combined ABS and SALM figures aggregated by AreaSearch, both total employment and the local labour force expanded by 3.3% over the year leading to March 2026, keeping the local unemployment rate essentially unchanged. Over that same timeframe, Regional Qld recorded job growth of 0.1% alongside a 0.3% increase in the labour pool, yielding a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term perspective can be drawn from the national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. When these five- and ten-year national employment trajectories—projecting overall country-wide gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—are weighted against the community's specific sector distribution, local employment is similarly modeled to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (noting that this represents an illustrative industry weighting rather than a localized population forecast).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Pacific Pines is $2,090 a week (about $109,000 a year), with median personal income at $836 a week.

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Pacific Pines is 34, younger than 82% of areas nationally. 28.1% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
The local age profile leans heavily toward younger demographics. As at August 2026, children and young adults (0 - 24) constitute 36.2% of the population, well above the 29.6% seen in Regional Qld, whereas seniors and retirees (65+) represent 10.6% compared to the 20.4% regional average. The median age remains steady at an estimated 34 as at August 2026, mirroring the 2021 Census result and sitting 7 years below the 41 recorded for Regional Qld at that Census. The 65+ cohort has expanded from 8.6% at the Census to an estimated 10.6%, largely driven by internal cohort ageing where 5 to 14 has reduced from 17.0% to an estimated 15.0% while 15 to 24 has climbed from 13.9% to 15.3%.
Looking to 2041, young to middle aged adults (25 - 44) will see the strongest numerical addition, rising by 468 (9%) to 5,405, while young cohorts, middle-aged brackets, and early retirees are forecast to decrease.

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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,664 at the 2021 Census → 17,445 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 Aug 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.
