Thabeban has an estimated 3,060 residents, up from 2,971 at the 2021 Census — a change of 89 people, or 3.0%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. That puts 406 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region and new address datasets verified by AreaSearch since the Census indicates the population of the suburb of Thabeban stands at approximately 3,060 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 89 people (3.0%) relative to the 2,971 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is derived from the resident population of 3,053, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) along with 17 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such population levels result in a density of 405 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for subsequent growth.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth for the area, accounting for approximately 56.00000000000001% of all population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are used. Note that these state projections omit breakdowns by age groups; consequently, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth distributions matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) for individual age cohorts. Based on these projected demographic trends, the suburb of Thabeban is anticipated to experience growth slightly below the median for regional Australia, expanding by 189 persons by 2041 according to compiled SA2-level projections, which represents a total increase of 6.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
20 new dwellings have been approved in Thabeban over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 36, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval statistics mapped from statistical areas, the suburb of Thabeban has averaged approximately 4 residential approvals annually. This equates to an estimated 20 approved homes over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 33 during FY-26 to date. Given that an average of 5.3 residents moved to the district for every new home constructed over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand outpaces new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies competition among buyers, with new residential projects averaging an estimated construction cost of $355,000.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $7.9 million have been logged in the current financial year, which highlights the residential character of the neighborhood. Relative to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Thabeban exhibits significantly lower building volumes (79.0% below the regional average per capita). This low level of new construction typically supports demand and valuations for existing properties. This volume is also below the national benchmark, highlighting the established nature of the area and indicating potential planning constraints. Recent construction trends consist of 60.0% standalone houses and 40.0% medium and high-density projects, with a broadening selection of townhouses and apartments offering varied options across price tiers, from family dwellings to smaller, lower-cost homes. This represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock (which is currently 87.0% houses), indicating a decline in available development land and matching changing lifestyle habits and affordability considerations. An estimated ratio of 1016 residents per single dwelling approval points to a quiet, low-scale development setting. Projections for the future indicate the suburb of Thabeban will add 182 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimation). With current construction trends, housing additions may not keep pace with population expansion, which could increase buyer rivalry and support upward pressure on prices.

PROJECT CANCELLED - SEPTEMBER 2025. A proposed 101-home affordable housing estate on 26 hectares adjacent to Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park. Following comprehensive geotechnical and environmental assessments, Regional Housing Limited and Bundaberg Regional Council determined the project was not feasible due to infrastructure costs exceeding development thresholds. The land is now planned to be incorporated into Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park as environmental reserve. The site, bounded by Telegraph Road, Ring Road, FE Walker Street and Mellifont Street, was intended to deliver affordable rental housing while preserving green spaces, but investigations confirmed civil infrastructure costs would be too high and lot numbers overly restricted to achieve affordable housing outcomes.
1,436 residents of Thabeban are employed, from a labour force of 1,496. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 60.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 Thabeban has a diverse labor force spanning professional and trade roles, with a solid footprint in essential services, an unemployment rate of 4.0%, and an estimated job growth rate of 8.4% over the prior year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,436 local residents are employed, reflecting an unemployment rate comparable to the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, while labor force participation is slightly lower (60.7% relative to 64.3% in Regional Qld). Census records show a low proportion of residents (2.9%) working from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. There is a particularly high concentration of workers in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with employment rates in this sector sitting at 2.0 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food services is less represented, accounting for 6.0% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 8.3%. Although local employment is available within the area, Census data comparing the working population to the local population indicates a significant portion of residents travel outside the suburb for work. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regions, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 8.4% and the overall labor force expand by 5.9%, leading to a decrease in unemployment by 2.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment grow by 0.1% and the labor force expand by 0.3%, with unemployment increasing by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand within the suburb of Thabeban. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While total employment nationally is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary considerably by industry. Adjusting these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of the suburb of Thabeban indicates local employment should grow by 6.1% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison and does not incorporate local population projections).

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 — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,971 at the 2021 Census → 3,060 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.
