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
As of Aug 2026, demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the population of Kanimbla - Mooroobool at approximately 10,377 residents. This represents an addition of 414 people (4.2%) compared to the 9,963 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. Such growth is derived from an estimated resident population count of 10,375 reported by the ABS for June 2025, alongside 58 validated new addresses registered post-Census. With 1,351 persons per square kilometer, local density exceeds the typical benchmark across nationwide regions evaluated by AreaSearch. The community's 4.2% expansion rate sits within 2.7 percentage points of the broader SA3 territory (6.9%), illustrating solid local momentum.
The principal catalyst for demographic expansion has been overseas migration, which generated around 74.2% of recent net population additions. For local SA2 districts, AreaSearch applies ABS/Geoscience Australia demographic projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base period). Where local coverage is absent, or for periods extending beyond post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 modeling released in 2023 (utilising 2021 figures) is integrated. Because these state figures do not break down age brackets, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 (grounded in 2022 benchmarks). Over the longer term, local expansion is forecast to track slightly under the national regional median, with the district projected to add 643 persons by 2041 relative to current annual ERP benchmarks, equating to an aggregate rise of 6.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
79 new dwellings have been approved in Kanimbla - Mooroobool over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential building approvals in Kanimbla - Mooroobool average roughly 15 dwellings, yielding 79 total approved homes over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same span of the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), an influx of 3.6 new residents arrived per completed residence, showing that housing requirements are substantially outstripping new supply, a dynamic that commonly fuels price appreciation and buyer rivalry. Approved homes involve an average construction value of $637,000—moderately higher than regional standards—reflecting a preference for higher-tier builds. Furthermore, $370,000 in commercial building authorisations were logged this financial year, underscoring an overwhelmingly residential focus.
Compared with Rest of Qld, building generation across Kanimbla - Mooroobool remains subdued, sitting 65.0% below regional average per person. A restricted pipeline of new construction tends to bolster interest and valuations across established real estate. Activity also trails the national benchmark, which indicates a mature urban landscape alongside potential planning constraints. Approvals are composed of 81.0% detached houses and 19.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the traditional suburban character and focusing on spacious housing suited to families. The presence of roughly 708 people per dwelling approval reflects a firmly established residential base. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Kanimbla - Mooroobool is anticipated to welcome 641 additional inhabitants by 2041. If prevailing building volumes continue without change, residential delivery may fail to keep pace with demographic additions, potentially driving up purchasing competition and reinforcing values.

5,326 residents of Kanimbla - Mooroobool are employed, from a labour force of 5,615. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 65.9%. 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 maintains a capable labour base with solid representation across essential services and an unemployment rate of 5.1%. In March 2026, 5,326 local inhabitants were employed, with the jobless rate tracking 1.2% higher than the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld, while participation closely matches the 64.2% figure found across Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a moderate 14.3% of workers carried out their duties from home, though period-specific Covid-19 restrictions should be considered. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, along with accommodation & food.
In particular, health care & social assistance exhibits strong concentration, with local representation reaching 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.9% of the local workforce, trailing the 4.5% seen across Regional Qld. Given the comparison between the Census working population and resident counts, this largely suburban community offers relatively few internal jobs. Evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the prior 12-month period, the local labour force contracted by 2.0% while employment declined by 4.2%, lifting the unemployment rate by 2.2 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced an employment rise of 0.1%, labour force growth of 0.3%, and a 0.1 percentage points increase in joblessness. Future occupational outlooks can be informed by national employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Projected across five and ten-year spans, these models map against local job distributions to gauge trajectory patterns. Nationally, employment is anticipated to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry variations remain substantial. Applying these industry pathways to Kanimbla - Mooroobool indicates potential workforce expansion of 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighted model that excludes localized 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 Aug 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 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.
