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.

Loganlea has an estimated 13,003 residents, up from 11,776 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,227 people, or 10.4%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. 147 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 67.4% of that increase. That puts 1,150 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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Loganlea stands at approximately 13,003 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,227 individuals (10.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 11,776 residents. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 12,948 for June 2025 alongside 147 validated new addresses identified after the Census. Consequently, the local population density is 1,149 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with typical outcomes across areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The local growth rate of 10.4% since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA3 region (8.4%) and the national benchmark, establishing the suburb as a leader in regional population expansion.
This upward trend was primarily propelled by arrivals from overseas, who accounted for roughly 67.4% of the total population growth in recent times. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as their starting point, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 district. In cases where these figures are unavailable or for periods extending beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 records are substituted. Because these state-level forecasts lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using ratios derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (based on 2022 data) for each cohort. Looking ahead, population growth is expected to exceed the national median, with the local population projected to expand by 2,774 individuals by 2041 when measured from the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a overall rise of 20.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
316 new dwellings have been approved in Loganlea over the past five years, an average of 63 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 63% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 81, 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
Loganlea has seen roughly 63 residential building approvals annually, which adds up to 316 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 75 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 3.5 new residents moving in per year for each built dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the volume of new construction is falling short of demand. This gap typically intensifies competition among buyers and drives up prices, even though new dwellings are being constructed at an average value of $149,000—a level below regional standards that offers more economical options to buyers.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $129.1 million during this financial year, pointing to a high degree of business development in the locality. Relative to Greater Brisbane, Loganlea has registered slightly more development (running 24.0% higher than the regional per capita average over the 5 year period), which helps satisfy buyer preferences while protecting established property values, even though construction momentum has slowed recently. Recent building activity consists of 63.0% detached houses and 37.0% semi-detached properties or units, showing a growing diversity of connected housing styles that provide options at different price points, ranging from large family residences to more compact, budget-friendly layouts. With approximately 408 people per dwelling approval, Loganlea represents a mature residential market. Future forecasts indicate that Loganlea is set to gain 2,719 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). The volume of existing construction appears to match these future requirements, which should preserve balanced market dynamics without triggering major price spikes.

Northwest Healthcare Centre - Meadowbrook
Seven-storey private healthcare centre approved by the Queensland planning minister in January 2023 for a site agglomerating 15 house sites at 1-16 Buttercup Close, Meadowbrook, strategically co-located with Logan Hospital. The project was progressed by Northwest Healthcare Properties (Australian arm of the Canadian-listed healthcare REIT, renamed Vital Infrastructure Property Trust in early 2026), which acquired and consolidated the residential lots to enable at-grade parking and a comprehensive medical services facility. As of mid-2026, no public confirmation of construction commencement has been found; individual lots on Buttercup Close continue to be advertised and transacted as standard residential properties, suggesting the project has not yet proceeded to site works.This is a separate development from the nearby Australian Unity-backed Matilda Meadowbrook Private Hospital on Nestor Drive, which was abandoned in 2024 following a successful third-party planning appeal.

5,892 residents of Loganlea are employed, from a labour force of 6,512. Unemployment sits at 9.5%, with participation at 62.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,736, about 113% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Loganlea features a diverse workforce containing a mix of professional and manual labor, with strong representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of 9.5%. As of March 2026, there are 5,892 employed residents, while the jobless rate is 5.2% higher than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%, indicating potential for labor market improvements. Additionally, the workforce participation rate is lower (62.9% relative to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). According to Census records, a modest 8.7% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The suburb displays a distinct concentration of jobs in transport, postal & warehousing, which claims a share of local employment that is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 4.1% of local workers, compared to 8.9% throughout Greater Brisbane. A Census-derived ratio of 0.8 workers for every resident indicates that local job opportunities are higher than typically observed. According to the AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force contracted by 2.5% during the 12 months ending March 2026, while overall employment dropped by 3.4%, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.9 percentage points. Conversely, Greater Brisbane recorded an employment increase of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point increase. National employment predictions released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia can provide extra context regarding future labor demand trends within Loganlea. These forecasts, spanning five-year and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local industry breakdown to project growth patterns. Although nationwide employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ significantly by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local employment structure suggests that local jobs would grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighting calculation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate 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 — 147 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,776 at the 2021 Census → 13,003 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.
