Sales Detail
Soldiers Hill (Qld) has an estimated 1,781 residents. The population has thinned by an average 1.2% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. That puts 1,030 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 calculations using ABS demographic adjustments for the wider region alongside address records verified by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) has an estimated population of 1,781 in May 2026. This indicates a contraction of 15 people (0.8%) from the 2021 Census, which registered 1,796 residents. This shift is deduced from the resident count of 1,781, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release and subsequent address monitoring. The current population translates to a density of 1,029 persons per square kilometer, matching typical benchmarks documented by AreaSearch.
In contrast to the 0.8% population decline in the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) post-census, the surrounding SA3 region expanded by 1.9%, showing contrasting local dynamics. Natural increase was the primary engine of local expansion, accounting for roughly 65.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic forecasts for each SA2 unit, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for any projections past 2032, Queensland Government SA2 estimates from 2023 based on 2021 records are used instead. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch redistributes growth across age groups by applying proportions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts based on 2022 data. Looking at future demographic trends, projections using this approach point to an overall reduction in residency, with a projected loss of 53 residents by 2041. Conversely, expansion is anticipated within particular age cohorts, led by the 25 to 34 age range, which is set to grow by 37 individuals.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
28 new dwellings have been approved in Soldiers Hill (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. 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's evaluation of ABS residential construction approvals mapped from statistical divisions, the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) averages approximately 5 building approvals annually, totaling an estimated 28 approved homes over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and none so far in FY-26. Because the local population has contracted recently, this rate of new supply has likely matched demand, ensuring healthy options for purchasers. Relative to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) registers 177.0% more new home approvals per capita, expanding choice for home buyers.
However, this building rate remains below the national average, reflecting the established status of the locality and potentially pointing to planning constraints. Furthermore, recent building activity consists entirely of medium and high-density dwellings. This concentration on compact housing styles provides cheaper pathways to ownership, drawing interest from downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the historical property mix (where houses currently account for 95.0% of properties), illustrating a drop in available development plots alongside evolving household preferences and a demand for more varied, low-cost housing. With a ratio of approximately 138 people for each approved dwelling, the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) displays low-density attributes. With the population forecast to remain steady or contract, the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) should experience lessened housing demand, which may create favorable conditions for buyers.

1,081 residents of Soldiers Hill (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 1,096. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 82.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,269, about 71% 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 suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) has a skilled local workforce featuring strong representation in manufacturing and industrial categories, a very low unemployment rate of 1.4%, and relatively stable employment numbers over the previous year, according to AreaSearch regional data aggregation. By March 2026, 1,081 residents are employed, which places the local unemployment rate 2.5% below the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 82.7% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a minor 2.6% of working residents performed their duties from home, though the influence of pandemic-era lock-downs must be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are mining, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area has an extreme concentration in mining, with local employment share reaching 9.7 times the regional average. By contrast, construction plays a minor role, employing 4.2% of the workforce compared to 10.1% across the region. This highly residential locality appears to offer few jobs within its borders, as demonstrated by the discrepancy between Census worker numbers and the resident labor force. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated across broader areas, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw the labor force shrink by 0.5% while total jobs also contracted by 0.5%, keeping the rate of unemployment steady. Conversely, Regional Qld experienced employment expansion of 0.1% alongside labor force growth of 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase. National workforce forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective employment trends in the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld). These projections, mapped over five and ten-year horizons, are aligned with local employment configurations to project future patterns. While countrywide employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the pace of growth varies greatly by sector. Aligning these industry trends with the local employment profile suggests that employment for residents of the suburb of Soldiers Hill (Qld) should rise by 5.0% over five years and 11.8% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted calculation for illustration and excludes 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,796 at the 2021 Census → 1,781 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 (SAL32581). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
