Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Jimboomba - Glenlogan's population is around 22,106 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 4,093 people (22.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 18,013 people.

Jimboomba - Glenlogan's 22.7% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (9.3%), along with the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 73.2% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Considering the projected demographic shifts, a significant population increase in the top quartile of national statistical areas is forecast, with the area expected to increase by 7,840 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 32.9% in total over the 16 years.
