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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Morayfield - East reached roughly 14,107 by Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 3,029 people (27.3%) compared to the 11,078 people counted during the 2021 Census. Such growth is determined from the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,813 alongside 450 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density stands at 1,655 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmarks across AreaSearch's national sample. With a 27.3% surge post-2021 census, the locality outpaced both state figures and the 9.5% national benchmark, establishing itself as an area of notable regional expansion.
Net interstate arrivals formed the primary driver, accounting for roughly 58.4% of total additions in recent times, with positive gains also recorded across natural increase and overseas migration. Population modelling incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections established on a 2022 base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable or extends past 2032, figures reference Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 utilizing 2021 benchmarks. Because these state forecasts lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional cohort weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 figures). Looking ahead, long-term projections suggest above-median growth across evaluated statistical territories, with Morayfield - East anticipated to add 3,070 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP figures, equating to a cumulative 19.7% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
758 new dwellings have been approved in Morayfield - East over the past five years, an average of 151 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 146 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 67% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Morayfield - East have averaged around 151 new homes annually, accumulating to 758 homes across the last 5 financial years. Across the period spanning FY-22 to FY-26, the area added an average of 4.3 new residents per year per completed home, creating an environment where demand outstrips new construction and places upward pressure on local pricing and buyer activity. The average expected construction cost for new dwellings sits at $283,000, coming in below broader regional figures and offering more attainable price points. Non-residential development has remained minimal, with $7.9 million in commercial approvals recorded during the current financial year.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Morayfield - East tracks closely with Greater Brisbane, helping sustain supply-demand balance relative to adjacent markets, while significantly surpassing national averages to demonstrate sustained developer appetite. Recent dwelling approvals comprise 67.0% detached dwellings alongside 33.0% townhouses or apartments, expanding medium-density housing diversity to supply both traditional family residences and lower-cost compact dwellings. This marks a notable evolution from the existing housing stock, where houses account for 85.0%, responding to land availability constraints, evolving buyer preferences, and affordability needs. The presence of roughly 118 people per dwelling approval reflects a developing residential market. Longer-term demographic forecasts anticipate Morayfield - East expanding by 2,776 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If recent building rates persist, residential construction is well-positioned to satisfy incoming housing demand, creating favourable buyer conditions and providing scope to accommodate population numbers above baseline estimates.

6,900 residents of Morayfield - East are employed, from a labour force of 7,293. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 11,334, about 80% 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
The local labour market in Morayfield - East comprises a combination of white and blue collar vocations, highlighted by a notable industrial and manufacturing presence, an unemployment rate of 5.4%, and annual employment growth of 4.3%. Employed persons numbered 6,900 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate stood 1.1% higher than the 4.3% recorded for Greater Brisbane, alongside a labour force participation rate of 66.4% compared to 70.1% regionally. At the Census, only 8.2% of workers reported working remotely from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Leading fields of employment among residents encompass retail trade, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Retail activity is particularly prominent, displaying a concentration 1.3 times the regional rate. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 3.3% of local employment relative to 8.9% across the wider region. Given the variance between Census resident worker counts and jobs located within the boundary, the suburb serves primarily as a residential catchment with limited internal employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM releases, annual employment rose 4.3% while the labour force expanded 5.0%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point rise in unemployment. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded job growth of 3.2%, labour force expansion of 3.4%, and a 0.1 percentage point uptick in the jobless rate. National employment trajectories published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context for prospective labour demand within Morayfield - East. By aligning five- and ten-year nationwide forecasts (projecting 6.6% and 13.7% growth respectively) with the local industry profile, local employment is projected to expand by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, based on simple illustrative weighting adjustments without local demographic inputs.

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 — 450 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,078 at the 2021 Census → 14,107 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.
