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
Sarina has an estimated 5,897 residents, up from 5,619 at the 2021 Census — a change of 278 people, or 4.9%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Density is about 24 people per 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 studies of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside recent address records validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count for the suburb of Sarina is calculated to be approximately 5,897 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 278 people (4.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,619 people. This shift is deduced from a resident population of 5,871, estimated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP statistics from the ABS (June 2025) plus an additional 48 validated new addresses since the Census date.
Such a population size yields a density ratio of 23 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a spacious living environment for residents. The 4.9% post-census growth rate of the suburb of Sarina is within 1.9 percentage points of the SA3 area (6.8%), indicating solid growth characteristics. Population expansion in the suburb of Sarina was chiefly supported by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 54.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though other elements such as natural growth and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas lacking this coverage, and for timeframes beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 area projections released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used instead. These state-level projections omit age breakdowns; consequently, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth weightings based on the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, using 2022 data) for every age cohort. Looking at future demographic trends, a population rise slightly below the median of Australian non-metropolitan areas is anticipated, with the suburb of Sarina projected to grow by 715 persons to 2041 under consolidated SA2-level forecasts, representing an overall increase of 11.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
72 new dwellings have been approved in Sarina over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals mapped from statistical area data, Sarina has recorded a yearly average of approximately 14 new home approvals, representing an estimated 72 homes in total over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 10 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.3 new residents per year for every home constructed during the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, which commonly exerts upward pressure on values and intensifies competition among prospective buyers, while new residences are built with an average value of $475,000—somewhat above regional benchmarks—pointing to a focus on quality.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $23.6 million have been registered during this financial year, indicating steady non-residential development activity. Compared to Rest of Qld, Sarina has approximately two-thirds the level of new dwelling approvals per capita, placing in the 35th percentile of all examined locations nationwide, which results in fewer options for buyers and bolsters demand for existing residences. This volume of activity is also below the national average, reflecting the mature nature of the local area and potential planning constraints. At the same time, recent construction projects have consisted entirely of detached dwellings, preserving the traditional low-density profile of the neighborhood with an emphasis on spacious family homes. The estimated ratio of 469 people in the area for each dwelling approval highlights a quiet development landscape with low overall activity. Demographic projections indicate Sarina will add 689 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current building rates do not accelerate, residential supply may fall behind population growth, which is likely to escalate buyer competition and support price appreciation.

Serves Sarina and surrounding communities with improved healthcare delivery. Completed 2024.
2,852 residents of Sarina are employed, from a labour force of 2,986. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 62.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,860, about 82% 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
Sarina features a balanced labor force split between white and blue collar jobs, with a notable presence of manufacturing and industrial sectors, an unemployment rate of 4.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.4% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,852 residents are employed, which is 0.6% higher than the Regional Qld unemployment rate of 3.9%, while workforce participation is very close to the Regional Qld figure of 64.3%. Census data indicates that a low 5.8% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this period was affected by COVID-19 lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are mining, transport, postal & warehousing, along with health care & social assistance. The local area displays an exceptional specialization in mining, showing an employment share that is 3.7 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance provides jobs for only 9.5% of the local workforce, which is below the Regional Qld level of 16.1%. The comparison between the Census working population and resident population indicates that local job opportunities are somewhat restricted. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regional databases, during the twelve months ending March 2026, the count of employed residents rose by 3.4% and the labor force expanded by 5.3%, resulting in a 1.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld recorded job growth of 0.1% and labor force growth of 0.3%, with a rise of 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future demand dynamics in Sarina. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary significantly across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment structure of Sarina suggests local jobs could grow by 5.1% over five years and 11.4% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration purposes 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 — 48 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,619 at the 2021 Census → 5,897 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 (SAL32518). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
