Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Murarrie

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Murarrie has an estimated 5,222 residents, up from 4,775 at the 2021 Census — a change of 447 people, or 9.4%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 59.7% of that increase. That puts 619 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

As of Aug 2026, demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the population of Murarrie at roughly 5,222 residents. This represents an addition of 447 people (9.4%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 4,775 people. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 5,204 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 37 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 618 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial space per occupant and scope for incoming development. Outperforming both the broader SA3 area (7.2%) and the SA4 region, Murarrie's 9.4% expansion since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional frontrunner in growth.

This local expansion has been propelled mainly by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 59.7% of all net population additions over recent timeframes. SA2 geographic projections used by AreaSearch are sourced from the ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset published in 2024 (using 2022 as its baseline year). Where SA2 locations lack this coverage, or for forecast years beyond 2032, figures adopt the Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 from 2021 data. Because those state models do not publish granular age brackets, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 (based on 2022 benchmarks). Looking ahead, long-term projections position Murarrie within the top quartile of statistical areas assessed, with the local population predicted to expand by 1,171 persons by 2041 according to the latest annual ERP statistics, translating to an aggregate rise of 22.1% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Murarrie

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

147 new dwellings have been approved in Murarrie over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 17% 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 construction in Murarrie has averaged roughly 29 building approvals per year, amounting to 147 approved dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, new housing accommodated an average of 2.9 incoming occupants annually for each dwelling, highlighting steady demand that reinforces area real estate values, with approved builds carrying an average construction value of $429,000. Non-residential building activity also logged $20.8 million in commercial development approvals during the current financial year, pointing to moderate commercial building activity. Per capita residential building in Murarrie runs 37.0% above the regional average over the 5 year period relative to Greater Brisbane, providing prospective buyers with choices while bolstering local asset values.

Approved construction is heavily weighted toward medium and high-density housing at 83.0%, with detached houses accounting for only 17.0%. This tilt toward higher-density formats provides more accessible price points for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and investors. It also marks a distinct transition from the established neighbourhood fabric (where freestanding houses presently make up 73.0%), reflecting constraints on greenfield land, modern lifestyle preferences, and the demand for diverse dwelling formats. Generating approximately one approval per 139 people, Murarrie demonstrates the profile of an active growth node. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Murarrie is slated to expand by 1,153 residents up to 2041. While residential construction currently keeps pace with this anticipated population trajectory, incoming residents could face heightened market competition as local numbers grow.

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 — 37 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,775 at the 2021 Census → 5,222 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 (301031017). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Murarrie SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Murarrie page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Murarrie data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Oct 2025) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
