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.

Sales Detail
Kanimbla - Mooroobool has an estimated 10,377 residents, up from 9,963 at the 2021 Census — a change of 414 people, or 4.2%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 1,351 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
Based on demographic assessments, Kanimbla - Mooroobool has a population of approximately 10,377 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 414 residents (4.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 9,963 individuals. The trajectory is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 10,375 alongside 58 validated new addresses recorded post-census. The local population density stands at 1,351 persons per square kilometer, a level exceeding the average across typical national markets analyzed by AreaSearch. The post-census growth rate of 4.2% trails the broader SA3 region (6.9%) by 2.7 percentage points, showing solid underlying growth dynamics.
The expansion was primarily fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 74.2% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are adopted. Because the state-level figures do not detail age cohorts, cohort-specific gains are modeled using proportional weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national median for regional areas, with the local population expected to rise by 695 individuals by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a 16-year increase of 6.7% in total.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
70 new dwellings have been approved in Kanimbla - Mooroobool over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An average of approximately 14 residential building approvals are registered annually in Kanimbla - Mooroobool, resulting in a total of 70 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, there have been 26 approvals documented. With an average of 4.1 new residents per built dwelling arriving yearly between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is outstripping supply. This mismatch generally places upward pressure on pricing and intensifies buyer competition, even as new residential properties are approved with an average construction cost of $510,000, which is higher than regional averages and points to a focus on quality.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals total $370,000 this financial year, highlighting a heavily residential development trend. Comparing development rates to the Rest of Qld shows that Kanimbla - Mooroobool experiences very quiet construction volumes, sitting 61.0% below the regional per capita average. Such low volumes of new supply typically support demand and pricing for established residences. This volume also tracks below the national average, indicating a mature market and possible planning limits. Meanwhile, all recent construction approvals have been for detached houses, preserving the classic suburban feel and catering to families seeking space. This construction focus on detached properties is higher than the proportion observed at the Census (83.0%), showing sustained demand for traditional houses despite densification trends. The area has a ratio of about 1035 people per dwelling approval, showing a highly established residential base. Demographic forecasts point to Kanimbla - Mooroobool adding 693 residents through to 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction is maintained, the supply of housing may fail to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting accelerated price appreciation.

5,326 residents of Kanimbla - Mooroobool are employed, from a labour force of 5,615. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 65.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,064, about 78% 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
Kanimbla - Mooroobool has a qualified workforce with a strong presence in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.1%. Working residents totaled 5,326 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 1.2% higher than the Regional Qld figure of 3.9%. Participation in the labor force matches the Regional Qld average of 64.3%. Census data showed a modest 14.3% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions. Local employment is heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food services.
The representation of workers in health care & social assistance is especially high, tracking at 1.2 times the regional benchmark rate. In contrast, agricultural, forestry & fishing sectors are underrepresented, accounting for only 0.9% of workers compared to the Regional Qld average of 4.5%. The residential character of the suburb means local job opportunities are relatively limited, as shown by the comparison of local jobs to the resident workforce during the Census. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 2.0% and total employment fell by 4.2%, leading to a 2.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Over the same timeframe in Regional Qld, employment increased by 0.1%, the labor force grew by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate prospective growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these trends to Kanimbla - Mooroobool's industry structure suggests local employment could rise by 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for 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 — 58 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,963 at the 2021 Census → 10,377 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (306021149). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
