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 Jimboomba - Glenlogan is approximately 22,106 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 4,093 people (22.7%) from the 18,013 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This growth calculation incorporates the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 21,545 alongside 999 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Based on these numbers, the population density stands at 121 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living and potential capacity for future residential expansion. The area's 22.7% growth rate since the 2021 census paced ahead of the national expansion average (9.3%) as well as the state average, positioning it as a key growth corridor.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 73.2% of the population increase, although natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for the years following 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 data are substituted. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales age groups proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 statistics. These models forecast substantial growth that places the community in the top national quartile for population expansion, projecting an increase of 7,840 people by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, which translates to a 32.9% rise over the 16 years.

Detail
Approximately 244 building approvals for residential dwellings have been issued annually in Jimboomba - Glenlogan, representing 1,221 homes over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 180 approvals registered. With an average of 3.1 new residents per built dwelling arriving annually between FY-21 and FY-25, demand continues to outstrip construction supply, which generally increases buyer competition and supports pricing, while the average construction value for new dwellings is $323,000. In addition, commercial development approvals total $3.1 million for the current financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential focus of the locality.
In comparison to Greater Brisbane, Jimboomba - Glenlogan registers about half the per capita construction volume, yet it places in the 93rd percentile of all areas evaluated nationwide, with building activity rising in recent times. This volume is significantly above the national benchmark, demonstrating clear developer interest in the region. The composition of new builds is 91.0% detached houses and 9.0% apartments or townhouses, which maintains the low-density environment and appeals to buyers looking for larger properties. There are currently about 70 people per residential approval, pointing to a growing market. Long-term forecasts suggest Jimboomba - Glenlogan will add 7,279 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Under ongoing building trends, the supply of new dwellings is projected to align well with incoming demand, offering favorable market dynamics for buyers and potentially facilitating growth beyond current base projections.

11,704 residents of Jimboomba - Glenlogan are employed, from a labour force of 12,071. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 70.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 18,241, about 83% 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 labor force of Jimboomba - Glenlogan is divided across white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with a notable concentration in the construction sector, and an overall unemployment rate of 3.0%. There were 11,704 employed residents in March 2026, while the local unemployment rate sat 1.3% below the 4.3% reported for Greater Brisbane. The participation rate matches the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. Census figures indicate that a minor 13.0% of the working population operated from home, though this data may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns. The primary employment sectors for local workers are construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing.
The region shows a distinct concentration of jobs in construction, where the employment share is 2.0 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented at 4.5% compared to the regional figure of 8.9%. Comparing the Census count of locally employed workers against the resident labor force suggests that this heavily residential district offers limited local job options. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that for the 12 months ending March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.6% while overall employment fell by 3.1%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% rise in the workforce, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be evaluated using national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five-year and ten-year national projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests Jimboomba - Glenlogan's employment could grow by 6.0% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, though this calculation represents a basic weighted extrapolation and excludes specific local population growth 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 — 999 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,013 at the 2021 Census → 22,106 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.
