Chart Color Schemes
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, AreaSearch evaluations place the population of Loganholme - Tanah Merah at approximately 12,851 individuals. This represents an addition of 1,263 people (10.9%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 11,588 people. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 12,700 recorded as of June 2025, alongside 153 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 967 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the wider SA3 area (8.5%) and national trends, the locality's 10.9% expansion since the 2021 census positions it as an area growth leader.
Natural increase served as the primary growth catalyst, generating around 43.0% of recent population additions, with interstate migration and overseas migration also delivering positive contributions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 locations lack coverage or extend beyond post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 area forecasts released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are implemented. Because these state figures omit age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, the statistical area is slated for above median population growth relative to AreaSearch benchmarks, with forecasts indicating an expansion of 1,672 persons by 2041 from current annual ERP baselines, equating to an overall rise of 11.8% across the 16 years.

Across this 5 financial years timeframe (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average intake of 2.9 new residents per completed dwelling highlights solid underlying demand that helps underpin property values. Construction costs for these new residences average $320,000, tracking underneath regional levels to provide relatively accessible pricing. Meanwhile, commercial development approvals reached $12.9 million in the current financial year, highlighting ongoing commercial activity. On a per-capita basis, development intensity in Loganholme - Tanah Merah surpasses Greater Brisbane by 51.0%, broadening options for incoming purchasers.
Upcoming supply is divided between detached houses at 30.0% and medium-to-high density formats like townhouses or apartments at 70.0%. This emphasis on higher-density stock offers attainable price thresholds suited to first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also marks a distinct shift from the existing built environment (where houses make up 89.0%), responding to limited greenfield land as well as evolving lifestyle preferences and budget constraints.

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 — 153 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,588 at the 2021 Census → 12,851 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (311051325). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
