This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Cambooya - Wyreema is approximately 8,992 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,093 people (13.8%) since the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 7,899 people. This shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 8,905 in June 2025 alongside an additional 200 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such a population size results in a density ratio of 39 persons per square kilometer, which indicates substantial space per individual. The 13.8% increase in Cambooya - Wyreema since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (9.2%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth leader.
Population increases in this locality were chiefly driven by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 55.8% of the total population gains in recent times, though all indicators, including natural increase and overseas migration, remained positive. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions not represented in this dataset, and for the years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 records are used. It is worth noting that these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age category; consequently, when they are used, AreaSearch distributes growth weightings proportionally to match the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Looking ahead at demographic trends, population growth in locations outside capital cities is projected to exceed the median, with this specific area expected to grow by 1,406 persons to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, which represents an overall rise of 14.7% over the 16 years.

Detail
Cambooya - Wyreema has recorded approximately 55 new residential approvals annually, with 278 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 45 thus far in FY-26. With an average of 3.7 new residents per year for each built home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the supply is lagging demand considerably, which typically translates to intense competition among buyers and upward pressure on prices, while new homes are being constructed at an average value of $355,000. Furthermore, $3.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered during this financial year, highlighting that the locality is predominantly residential.
Relative to the Rest of Qld, Cambooya - Wyreema has experienced slightly more development (23.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), which maintains solid options for buyers while reinforcing established property values, even though development rate has slowed down lately. Furthermore, recent building activity consists entirely of standalone homes, preserving the traditional low density profile of the area with a focus on family houses that attract buyers looking for space. The area has approximately 276 people per dwelling approval, showing capacity for further expansion. Projecting forward, Cambooya - Wyreema is anticipated to add 1,319 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on ongoing development trends, new residential supply is expected to easily satisfy demand, providing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially enabling population increases that exceed current forecasts.

4,863 residents of Cambooya - Wyreema are employed, from a labour force of 4,959. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 71.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 7,060, about 79% 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
Cambooya - Wyreema is characterized by a skilled workforce, with strong representation in essential services sectors, and an unemployment rate of only 1.9%. As of March 2026, 4,863 residents are employed, which is an unemployment rate 2.0% below the 3.9% rate of Regional Qld, and workforce participation is significantly above average (71.2% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld). According to Census details, a low 9.8% of residents worked from home, though the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account. The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
The area displays a particularly strong concentration in education & training, with employment rates at 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food has a minor footprint, accounting for 5.1% of employment compared to 8.3% regionally. The locality appears to provide sparse employment opportunities within its borders, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population. According to the AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the 12-month period saw a decrease of 6.8% in the labour force and a 7.4% drop in employment, which led to a rise in the unemployment rate of 0.7 percentage points. This stands in contrast to Regional Qld, where employment rose by 0.1%, the labour force grew by 0.3%, and unemployment went up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia can provide additional context regarding future demand in Cambooya - Wyreema. These forecasts, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been matched to the local employment profile to project growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion rates vary greatly across different industry sectors. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to the employment profile of Cambooya - Wyreema, they suggest local employment will increase by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes 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 — 200 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,899 at the 2021 Census → 8,992 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.
