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 demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident count for Marcoola - Mudjimba stands at roughly 12,692 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 11,961 residents recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents a net expansion of 731 people (6.1%). This updated figure draws upon an estimated resident population of 12,672 published by the ABS as of June 2025 alongside 88 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With a density metric of 385 persons per square kilometer, the locality retains generous open space alongside room for potential residential expansion.
Furthermore, Marcoola - Mudjimba's 6.1% increase since the census trails the broader SA3 area (8.6%) by just 2.5 percentage points, highlighting solid underlying demographic momentum. Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 77.7% of all population additions over recent intervals. SA2 geographic modeling in AreaSearch incorporates official forecasts from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures. Where coverage is absent or timelines extend past 2032, figures reference Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 from 2021 data. Because those state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age cohort distribution weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 baseline metrics). Based on anticipated structural shifts, regional growth is projected to sit slightly under the national regional median, with Marcoola - Mudjimba gaining 662 persons out to 2041 according to recent annual ERP population statistics, representing cumulative expansion of 5.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
269 new dwellings have been approved in Marcoola - Mudjimba over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 78% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Building activity in Marcoola - Mudjimba has generated an annual average of roughly 53 new residential approvals, amounting to 269 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Construction demand remains solid with 2.4 new residents added each year per completed home across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), which supports real estate values. New residential construction costs average $476,000 per dwelling, matching regional norms. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $4.6 million during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the locality. Per capita residential construction in Marcoola - Mudjimba registers at roughly 61% of the level observed across Rest of Qld, placing the area in the 38th percentile nationwide and constraining buyer choice, which reinforces underlying demand across established dwellings.
Recent building activity consists of 78.0% detached dwellings alongside 22.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving a low-density suburban landscape oriented toward single-family homes. Builders continue to focus more heavily on standalone houses than indicated by the existing dwelling stock (62.0% at Census), reflecting sustained buyer appetite for family properties amidst broader urban consolidation pressures. A ratio of 501 people per residential approval highlights an unhurried, measured pace of construction. Demographic projections indicate that Marcoola - Mudjimba will add 642 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. With current building volumes, residential additions should readily absorb anticipated population gains, maintaining balanced market conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling greater local growth than initial demographic models indicate.

6,226 residents of Marcoola - Mudjimba are employed, from a labour force of 6,457. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 59.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,326, about 89% 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
Marcoola - Mudjimba maintains a capable local workforce with strong participation across key community services and a low unemployment rate of 3.6%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,226, while local joblessness sits 0.3% below the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%. However, overall labour force participation registers at 59.1%, trailing the Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Census figures also indicate that 16.6% of employed locals worked remotely, though this metric reflects conditions during Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
In particular, construction demonstrates notable local concentration, with an employment footprint 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.9% of local employment, well below the 4.5% recorded across Regional Qld. Comparisons between the Census working population and resident employment numbers indicate that local job opportunities within the immediate area remain relatively constrained. Analysis of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch reveals that over the 12-month period, the local labour force contracted by 2.2% while total employment fell by 2.9%, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.7 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labour pool, and a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Future labour demand patterns can be evaluated using national industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variation across specific sectors. Applying these national sector weightings to Marcoola - Mudjimba's resident employment profile suggests local job numbers could grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, noting that this simple industry extrapolation serves illustrative purposes without incorporating 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 — 88 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,961 at the 2021 Census → 12,692 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 (316031426). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
