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
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Worongary - Tallai is estimated to be 9,298 as of May 2026. This represents an increase of 756 individuals, or a growth of 8.9%, relative to the 8,542 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This upward trend is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 9,211 from June 2025 alongside 447 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With these figures, the population density stands at 357 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious residential environment with capacity for future growth.
The area's 8.9% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region's expansion of 6.6%, highlighting it as a leading growth zone. The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 61.1% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, which use 2022 as their baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, as well as for projections extending past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which rely on 2022 data. Future demographic forecasts indicate that the area is set for exceptional growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of all non-metropolitan zones nationwide. Based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, the population is projected to expand by 4,368 individuals by 2041, representing a total increase of 46.0% over this 16-year timeframe.

Detail
Worongary - Tallai has maintained an annual average of approximately 66 new dwelling approvals, representing 330 residential approvals over the 5-year financial period spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 83 recorded during FY-26 so far. The arrival of 1.9 new residents per approved home over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25 points to a balanced relationship between supply and demand, supporting a stable local market. Furthermore, new buildings carry an average construction value of $589,000, indicating that developers are focusing on higher-end residential properties. Commercial development remains minimal, with only $306,000 in approvals registered in the current financial year, highlighting the area's primary residential profile.
Compared to the Rest of Qld, Worongary - Tallai exhibits 190.0% more new home approvals per capita, ensuring that prospective buyers have a wide range of options. Recent construction is comprised entirely of standalone houses, preserving the traditional low-density profile of the neighborhood and catering to families seeking extra space.

Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, population projections indicate that Worongary - Tallai will add 4,281 residents by 2041. Given the current pace of construction, housing supply may struggle to keep up with this influx of residents, which could intensify competition among buyers and drive up property prices.

5,013 residents of Worongary - Tallai are employed, from a labour force of 5,159. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 68.4%. 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 7,523, about 81% 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 workforce in Worongary - Tallai is highly skilled, with notable representation in the construction sector. The area features a low unemployment rate of 2.8% and achieved an estimated employment growth of 3.1% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 5,013 employed residents. The unemployment rate sits 1.1% below the 3.9% rate recorded for Regional Qld, while labor force participation is solid at 68.4% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a moderate 18.8% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
Local employment is concentrated in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The construction sector shows a particularly high concentration, employing workers at a rate 1.6 times the average for the broader region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of local jobs compared to 4.5% across the region. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population indicates that this neighborhood is primarily residential and offers limited local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the 12-month period ending March 2026 saw employment rise by 3.1% and the labor force grow by 3.2%, which kept the unemployment rate stable. During the same period, Regional Qld recorded a minor employment increase of 0.1% and labor force growth of 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand trends in Worongary - Tallai. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, total employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with significant variations across different sectors. Applying these industry-specific rates to the occupational distribution in Worongary - Tallai suggests local employment will grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection that does not factor in localized population changes.

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 — 447 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,542 at the 2021 Census → 9,298 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.
