Sales Detail
Torquay (Qld) has an estimated 6,784 residents, up from 6,533 at the 2021 Census — a change of 251 people, or 3.8%. That puts 1,567 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Torquay (Qld) has an estimated resident count of around 6,784, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS regional updates alongside validated new addresses post-Census. Comparing this against the 2021 Census tally of 6,533 people demonstrates an expansion of 251 people (3.8%). This metric draws from AreaSearch's assessment of the June 2025 ABS ERP release, which placed the resident total at 6,777, bolstered by 83 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. With 1,566 persons per square kilometer, local density exceeds the average across AreaSearch's national benchmark locations.
Interstate migration formed the primary engine of local demographic expansion, generating approximately 64.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Torquay (Qld) incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling released in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, supplemented by Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts (released in 2023, based on 2021 data) for post-2032 horizons or uncovered zones. Because state-level datasets lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age cohort weightings with the ABS Greater Capital Region figures released in 2023 from 2022 data. Aggregated SA2-level modeling suggests future demographic gains will sit slightly underneath the national regional median, with the local populace forecast to add 466 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 6.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
305 new dwellings have been approved in Torquay (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 61 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 69 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 80% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 44, 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
Building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch from ABS statistical area records show Torquay averaging around 61 residential dwellings approved annually, generating an estimated 305 homes across the past 5 financial years, with 44 approvals registered so far in FY-25. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the local area gained an average of only 0.4 people annually for each home constructed over the past 5 financial years, indicating that residential building activity is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, expanding buyer choice and opening possibilities for population growth beyond current estimates. Expected construction costs average $418,000 per dwelling, positioning new stock below regional cost benchmarks to support affordability.
Meanwhile, commercial building approvals have reached $7.3 million this financial year, reflecting a modest level of commercial building activity. Per capita building activity in Torquay tracks at approximately 75% of the rate recorded across Rest of Qld, positioning the locality in the 80th percentile across Australia. Residential construction trends show detached houses comprising 80.0% of activity while townhouses or apartments make up 20.0%, sustaining traditional low-density suburban neighbourhoods geared toward buyers seeking family-sized accommodation. The ratio of roughly 123 people per dwelling approval underscores the low-density nature of the market. According to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch, demographic projections anticipate Torquay adding 459 residents through to 2041. Ongoing residential construction volumes appear well placed to satisfy incoming demand, supporting favourable buyer conditions while potentially accommodating demographic expansion in excess of current expectations.

2,661 residents of Torquay (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 2,852. Unemployment sits at 6.7%, with participation at 47.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,204, about 91% 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
Torquay displays a diverse labor market encompassing both white and blue collar occupations, where essential services are well represented, an unemployment rate stands at 6.7%, and projected employment growth over the past year is 8.8% according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,661 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate at 2.8% higher than Regional Qld's 3.9%, while workforce participation is substantially lower at 47.6% compared to Regional Qld's 64.2%. Census data indicates that only 6.0% of residents worked from home, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Local workforce participation is primarily centered around health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade. Concentration in health care & social assistance is especially prominent, recording an employment representation 1.7 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.0% of Torquay workers compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. A comparison of Census figures for the working population versus the resident population illustrates that this largely residential enclave provides a constrained volume of local jobs. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures aggregated across wider statistical areas reveals that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, Torquay recorded an 8.8% expansion in employment alongside a 4.4% rise in the labour pool, reducing the unemployment rate by 3.8 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment and a 0.3% lift in the labour force, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in its unemployment rate. Further insight from Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections from Mar-26 models potential local labour market outcomes over five and ten-year intervals. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry trends vary, and weighting these against Torquay's workforce distribution suggests local job gains of 7.2% over five years and 14.9% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized demographic 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 — 83 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,533 at the 2021 Census → 6,784 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.
