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.

Yarrabilba has an estimated 16,940 residents, up from 10,706 at the 2021 Census — a change of 6,234 people, or 58.2%. Growth has averaged 9.2% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. 2,237 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 73.0% of that increase. That puts 434 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Yarrabilba has reached an estimated 16,940 residents by Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 6,234 people (58.2%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 10,706 people. Such expansion is derived by combining the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population figure of 15,803 with 2,237 validated new addresses registered subsequent to the Census. With a density of 433 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains abundant personal space alongside substantial capacity for ongoing urban expansion. Outpacing both Queensland and the wider Australian benchmark (9.5%), Yarrabilba's 58.2% post-Census surge positions it at the forefront of regional expansion.
Interstate arrivals served as the principal demographic catalyst, generating roughly 73.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models pegged to a 2022 baseline for each SA2. For SA2 territories omitted from that release or extending beyond 2032, Queensland State Government projections published in 2023 (utilising 2021 inputs) are substituted. Because these state figures do not provide age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings sourced from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (2022 baseline) across respective age brackets. Looking forward, the locality is forecast to experience exceptional demographic expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of AreaSearch-monitored regions. Based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, the population is slated to climb by 10,980 persons through to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 58.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
2,007 new dwellings have been approved in Yarrabilba over the past five years, an average of 401 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 24 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 402 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% 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
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential building authorisations in Yarrabilba have averaged approximately 401 per annum, amounting to 2,007 homes. Between FY-22 and FY-26 across the last 5 financial years, the locality registered an influx averaging 2.8 people annually for each new residence erected, underscoring solid underlying demand that bolsters local asset values. New residential builds carry an average projected construction cost of $363,000, aligning with regional standards. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $19.6 million during this financial year, demonstrating consistent commercial investment momentum. Per-capita building activity in Yarrabilba stands 27.0% above the regional average over the 5 year timeframe when measured against Greater Brisbane, maintaining ample choice for purchasers while providing support for existing real estate valuations.
This level exceeds national benchmarks by a substantial margin, highlighting pronounced developer appetite for the district. Detached houses accounted for 94.0% of recent residential construction, with townhouses or apartments comprising the remaining 6.0%, thereby preserving a low-density urban fabric tailored toward family living and open space. Recording approximately 39 people per dwelling approval, the statistical area displays standard hallmarks of an active growth corridor. According to the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Yarrabilba is projected to gain an extra 9,843 residents through to 2041. Ongoing construction volumes appear well placed to satisfy residential demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

The community is planned to deliver around 20,000 dwellings for approximately 50,000 residents.
Yarrabilba Central
Yarrabilba Central is the planned mixed-use town centre for the Yarrabilba Priority Development Area. The precinct will include a sub-regional shopping centre, retail, commercial offices, civic and community facilities, entertainment and higher-density residential development. During 2026, bulk earthworks and supporting road infrastructure continued while subdivision approvals progressed. Stage 1 development applications are being prepared with Economic Development Queensland as the project moves toward initial construction.
Yarrabilba Town Centre
Yarrabilba Town Centre, also referred to as Yarrabilba Central, is the future principal centre for the Yarrabilba masterplanned community in Logan City, around 45km south of Brisbane and within the 2,222ha Yarrabilba Priority Development Area. The precinct is planned as a mixed-use hub combining core retail, a future sub-regional shopping centre, commercial office space, civic and community facilities and higher-density residential, ultimately serving a community of up to 45,000 to 50,000 residents. Stockland, which took over delivery of Yarrabilba from Lendlease through the Stockland Supalai Residential Communities Partnership, confirmed in January 2026 that masterplanning for the precinct is complete, defining access points, scale and land uses.A subdivision application was lodged with Economic Development Queensland in 2025 covering five lots, including the first stage of the Town Centre and the future sub-regional shopping centre site, and a development application for Stage 1 is being prepared for lodgement with EDQ. Bulk earthworks are underway to level the site. Supporting access works are in delivery, including extensions of Wentland Avenue and Jimbillunga Drive and a new signalised intersection on Waterford-Tamborine Road at Dollarbird Drive, jointly funded by the Queensland Government and Stockland at about $20 million and targeted for completion in mid-2027. The site sits within EDQ's endorsed Precinct 7 - Yarrabilba Town Centre and Surrounds context planning area. A separate 8,000sqm convenience and service retail precinct at Dixon Circuit is already under construction, with Stage 1 due to open later in 2026.

Yarrabilba Health City
Yarrabilba Health City is a purpose-built specialist medical precinct on Adler Circuit in Yarrabilba, established in May 2023 to bring cardiology, oncology, radiology, dental and allied health services to the fast-growing Logan community. The multi-tenant facility houses providers including Radiant Radiology, Yarrabilba Cardiology and Specialist Centre, and FB Dental, reducing the need for residents to travel to Brisbane or the Gold Coast for specialist care.
7,141 residents of Yarrabilba are employed, from a labour force of 7,591. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 67.8%. 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 14,086, about 83% 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 features a mix of white-collar and blue-collar roles, alongside a 5.9% unemployment rate and pronounced worker concentration in building and construction trades. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,141, while the jobless rate stood 1.6% higher than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%. Labour force participation lagged standard metrics at 67.8%, versus 70.1% for Greater Brisbane. Census records indicated that only 9.4% of workers operated from home, though pandemic-era movement constraints should be factored into this figure. The primary industry sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Worker specialization is especially pronounced in construction, which captures an employment share 1.4 times greater than the metropolitan standard. In contrast, the professional & technical category is under-represented, engaging 4.0% of local workers compared to 8.9% throughout Greater Brisbane. Comparisons between resident workers and local job counts from the Census point to a limited volume of employment situated directly within the area. Analysis by AreaSearch incorporating SALM and ABS figures shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, local workforce numbers contracted by 2.6% and total employment fell by 3.8%, lifting the unemployment rate by 1.1 percentage points. Greater Brisbane recorded opposing movements, with employment climbing 3.2%, the labour force expanding by 3.4%, and the jobless rate nudging up 0.1 percentage points. Broader insight into future local demand is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry trajectories vary widely. When mapped to Yarrabilba's specific sectoral composition, these projections indicate potential local employment gains of 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation serves illustrative purposes and excludes local population dynamics).

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 — 2,237 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,706 at the 2021 Census → 16,940 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.
