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
Molendinar has an estimated 6,707 residents, up from 6,450 at the 2021 Census — a change of 257 people, or 4.0%. That puts 877 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 conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Molendinar stands at approximately 6,707 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 257 people (4.0%) from the 6,450 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 6,707 from June 2025 alongside 56 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The resulting population density is 876 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with standard averages across evaluated locations. The primary driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 77.5% of the total demographic gains in recent times.
AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and for any timeframe after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth weightings across age cohorts based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections using a 2022 base year. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the area is projected to experience population growth above the median for non-metropolitan parts of Australia, expanding by 880 persons to 2041 when measured against the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to a total rise of 13.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
38 new dwellings have been approved in Molendinar over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, broadly in line with 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
Development approvals in Molendinar average approximately 7 dwellings annually, with 38 residential units approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 8 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. An average of 1.9 new residents per year arrived for each new home during the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, pointing to balanced supply and demand conditions, although this has tightened to 9.8 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, indicating rising popularity and a potential shortage of housing. The average cost of constructing these new dwellings is $389,000.
Furthermore, commercial development approvals total $21.6 million this financial year, pointing to a stable level of commercial construction activity. In comparison to the Rest of Qld, construction activity in Molendinar is substantially lower, sitting 76.0% below the regional average per person. This restricted addition of new housing stock generally helps maintain demand and property values for existing homes. This rate also sits below the national average, reflecting a mature market environment that may be subject to development limitations. Recent residential construction is composed entirely of standalone houses, preserving the established low-density profile of the suburb and catering to families looking for space. New building activity shows a stronger preference for detached houses than the existing mix recorded at the Census (84.0%), highlighting persistent demand for family residences despite rising density. The estimated ratio of 1677 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights a quiet development landscape with low overall activity. Future forecasts indicate that Molendinar will add 880 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, the addition of new housing may not keep up with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

3,737 residents of Molendinar are employed, from a labour force of 3,934. Unemployment sits at 5.0%, with participation at 70.3%. 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 8,733, about 130% 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
Molendinar is home to a qualified workforce with notable representation in the retail and lifestyle sectors, an unemployment rate of 5.0%, and estimated job growth of 2.4% over the previous year. As of March 2026, there are 3,737 employed residents, with an unemployment rate that is 1.1% higher than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, and a participation rate that is significantly higher than regional norms (70.3% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld). According to Census statistics, a small proportion of 10.9% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and construction. The workforce is highly concentrated in accommodation & food, where the employment share is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented, employing just 0.3% of the local workforce compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. With a ratio of 1.2 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a major employment center, generating more jobs than it has working residents and drawing commuters from neighboring areas. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce grew by 3.2% while employment rose by 2.4%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Regional Qld saw employment grow by 0.1% and the labour force expand by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in Molendinar. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local industry profile to estimate future growth. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these national sector trends to the local employment structure suggests that employment in Molendinar could grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, representing a simple weighted calculation for illustrative purposes that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 56 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,450 at the 2021 Census → 6,707 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 (309091264). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
