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.

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 research from AreaSearch, the resident count in Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan stands at approximately 12,441 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,021 individuals (8.9%) compared to the 11,420 residents documented in the 2021 Census. Such adjustments are calculated by combining an ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,438 recorded in June 2025 with 66 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The local population density reaches 180 persons per square kilometer, preserving generous physical room per occupant alongside potential for future expansion. Over the prior ten years, the district exhibited solid demographic momentum with a 3.0% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA4 region.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 60.0% of recent population additions. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In territories without this coverage, or across periods subsequent to 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts (issued in 2023 utilizing 2021 numbers) are implemented. Because state forecasts exclude age-specific categorisations, AreaSearch assigns proportional demographic weightings derived from ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 data) across each demographic cohort. Driven by anticipated structural shifts, growth is projected to exceed the median for Australian non-metropolitan zones, expanding by 2,155 persons to 2041 under prevailing annual ERP figures, which equates to an overall gain of 17.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
111 new dwellings have been approved in Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Residential construction authorizations in Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan have tracked at an annual mean of 22 dwellings, generating 111 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. With 9.9 people arriving per year for each completed home across the 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local buyer demand outpaces new building output, generally driving up acquisition prices and fostering intense competition. New residences reflect an average development value of $668,000, marginally exceeding regional benchmarks to indicate an emphasis on high-grade construction. Concurrently, $1.6 million in commercial approvals was recorded in the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly domestic nature of the locality.
In comparison with Rest of Qld, construction volumes across Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan remain subdued (77.0% below regional average per person). Constrained building supply typically underpins elevated valuations and sustained buyer interest for existing homes. Building levels also track below nationwide norms, pointing toward municipal planning restrictions and an established urban framework. Detached houses constitute all recent residential approvals, maintaining a low-density character that caters to buyers seeking expansive allotments. Furthermore, a ratio of 488 people per dwelling approval illustrates the subdued pace of local construction activity. Demographic projections indicate that Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan will add 2,152 residents through to 2041 (benchmarked against the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch). If current construction tempos persist, residential output could lag incoming demographic expansion, thereby intensifying competitive market conditions and bolstering asset values.

7,318 residents of Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan are employed, from a labour force of 7,466. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 76.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,501, about 76% 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 workforce within Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan displays strong professional capabilities, led prominently by the construction industry alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.0% and annual job growth estimated at 3.4%. There are 7,318 employed residents as of March 2026, while local unemployment sits 1.9% lower than the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor force engagement is elevated, standing at 76.3% compared to 64.2% in Regional Qld. Census records also indicate that 16.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though figures were subject to Covid-19 restrictions. Local employment is predominantly concentrated across construction, health care & social assistance, as well as education & training.
The construction sector is especially prominent, generating jobs at 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.8% of employment locally versus 4.5% regionally. Comparing the Census workplace population against resident tallies suggests that localized employment opportunities remain relatively constrained. An evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the year to March 2026, local employment expanded by 3.4% as the workforce grew by 3.2%, reducing unemployment by 0.2 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labor pool, and a 0.1 percentage point lift in unemployment. Long-term labor requirements can be further evaluated through Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26. These five-year and ten-year forecasts were applied across the local industry distribution to gauge potential trajectories. Nationwide employment is anticipated to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with sector-specific rates fluctuating considerably. Applying these sectoral forecasts across the employment composition of Upper Coomera (South) - Wongawallan suggests localized employment increases of 6.4% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (note that this model uses illustrative weighting without adjusting for localized population trends).

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 — 66 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,420 at the 2021 Census → 12,441 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 (309071556). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
