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
Mundingburra has an estimated 3,551 residents, down from 3,594 at the 2021 Census — a change of 43 people, or 1.2%. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 96% of areas nationally. That puts 1,345 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 Mundingburra stands at approximately 3,551 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 43 individuals (1.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 3,594 residents. This shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 3,551 in June 2025 alongside 24 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,345 persons per square kilometer, a figure that surpasses the typical density observed across the country. The primary contributor to population increases in recent times was overseas migration, which served as almost the exclusive source of growth.
Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data or for projections past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are substituted. Because these state-level forecasts omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 baseline data). Looking at long-term demographic patterns, overall numbers are expected to contract, with a projected reduction of 19 individuals by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, specific cohorts are set to expand, particularly the 25 to 34 age bracket, which is expected to grow by 104 individuals. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
30 new dwellings have been approved in Mundingburra over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, well below 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
Approval figures show Mundingburra averages approximately 6 new residential builds each year, accumulating to 30 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 4 approvals have been logged. With the local population contracting, this new supply has likely matched demand, providing options for buyers, while construction costs for these new homes average $343,000, matching broader regional levels. Additionally, commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $1.2 million, indicating very quiet commercial building activity. Mundingburra displays a low rate of construction activity when compared to Rest of Qld, sitting 60.0% below the regional per capita average.
This restricted volume of new builds generally helps maintain demand and supports the pricing of existing homes. Construction volumes also fall short of national averages, pointing to a mature housing market and potential limits on new construction. The mix of new approvals consists of 20.0% standalone houses and 80.0% multi-unit residential structures. This emphasis on higher-density projects provides more affordable pathways to ownership and appeals to buyers looking to downsize, property investors, and first-time buyers. This pattern marks a clear departure from the current local housing stock, which is 65.0% houses, showing a shrinking supply of vacant residential land, evolving lifestyle trends, and demand for more varied, budget-friendly housing. With 1043 people for every residential approval, Mundingburra presents a highly established market profile. Given the outlook for a stable or declining population, Mundingburra is likely to experience less pressure on its housing stock, which could create favorable conditions for buyers.

1,525 residents of Mundingburra are employed, from a labour force of 1,620. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 54.1%. 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. 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 workforce in Mundingburra is highly qualified, with a strong representation of workers in essential public services, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.9%. As of March 2026, 1,525 residents are employed. The unemployment rate is 1.9% higher than the rate of 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, while labor participation is notably lower, sitting at 54.1% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data shows a low proportion of 6.6% of workers operating from home, though the influence of pandemic restrictions during that period should be kept in mind. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety.
The region has an especially strong concentration of education & training workers, employing people at 1.6 times the regional average rate. On the other hand, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector employs only 0.7% of the local workforce, which is below the 4.5% average for Regional Qld. Although there are employment positions situated locally, the ratio of the Census working population to the resident population indicates that many workers travel outside the area for their jobs. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that for the twelve months ending March 2026, the local workforce shrank by 1.9% and total employment dropped by 2.4%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% and the labor force expand by 0.3%, while its unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth rates vary considerably across different industries. Applying these sector-specific trends to the employment distribution of Mundingburra suggests local jobs could grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, noting that this calculation is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and 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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,594 at the 2021 Census → 3,551 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.
