This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Goondiwindi has an estimated 6,251 residents. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Based on evaluations of ABS demographic releases for the broader region and new address entries validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Goondiwindi is estimated to have a population of 6,251 residents as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 21 people (0.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 6,230 people. This change is calculated from the resident population of 6,251, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an additional 92 validated new addresses recorded since the Census.
This population level corresponds to a density of 7.5 persons per square kilometer, suggesting substantial spatial availability for each resident. Demographic expansion in the locality was chiefly supported by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 75.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements demographic projections for each SA2 region from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 records are applied. These state-level projections do not segment by age bracket; therefore, where they are used, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 and based on 2022 records for each age cohort. Looking at future demographic trends, projections show a contracting overall population, with the suburb of Goondiwindi expected to experience a reduction of 150 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected in particular age brackets, led by the 25 to 34 age group, which is estimated to grow by 157 people. The age section provides further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
64 new dwellings have been approved in Goondiwindi over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas shows that Goondiwindi has averaged approximately 12 residential building approvals annually, summing to an estimated 64 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 8 approvals have been documented. Since the population has been contracting recently, the volume of new housing supply has likely aligned with demand, providing buyers with suitable options, while new dwellings are being constructed at an average value of $756,000, indicating that builders are focusing on the premium segment of the market with high-end homes.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $6.8 million have been registered during this financial year, highlighting that the locality remains dominantly residential. Compared with the Rest of Qld, Goondiwindi shows slightly higher development levels, tracking at 25.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which maintains options for purchasers while supporting demand for existing homes, though construction momentum has decelerated lately. This is also lower than the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market and suggesting potential development constraints. Recent construction trends consist of 89.0% detached houses and 11.0% semi-detached or attached options, preserving the classic low density profile of the locality with a focus on spacious family properties. An estimated ratio of 698 people in the region per single residential permit highlights a quiet, low-frequency construction environment. Faced with static or decreasing demographic forecasts, Goondiwindi could experience reduced pressure on its housing stock, leading to positive conditions for home buyers.

Moree Special Activation Precinct
A NSW Government-led Special Activation Precinct designed to leverage Moree's location on the Newell Highway and the Melbourne-Brisbane Inland Rail to attract investment in high-value horticulture, agrifood processing, freight and logistics, and renewable energy. The masterplan covers 4,716 hectares with a 40-year vision to create up to 4,000 jobs. In March 2026, the NSW Government adopted a scaled-back delivery approach proposed by Moree Plains Shire Council, reducing the initial activation area from 300 to around 100 hectares of fully serviced government-owned industrial land and from 3.3 km to about 1.9 km of new road, in order to limit ongoing maintenance costs to ratepayers.Stage 1 enabling infrastructure works (roads, drainage, water, sewer and electrical services) are valued at around 79 million dollars, with NSW Public Works having closed tenders in late 2025 and contract award expected in 2026. A 13.5 million dollar Essential Energy zone substation upgrade is anticipated for completion in 2027. Construction works on Stage 1 are scheduled to commence in 2026.
Moree Secondary College Campus Consolidation

3,476 residents of Goondiwindi are employed, from a labour force of 3,597. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 72.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,216, 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
Goondiwindi has a skilled workforce showing broad industry representation, an unemployment rate of just 3.4%, and an estimated employment growth rate of 1.3% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch compilations of statistical area datasets. As of March 2026, there are 3,476 working residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.6% below the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%, and labor force participation being exceptionally high at 72.0% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a low 6.1% of workforce participants worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction measures.
Primary employment sectors for residents include agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The region exhibits a strong specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with a workforce share that is 3.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a smaller footprint, representing 11.8% of local jobs compared to 16.1% regionally. The area appears to have a shortage of local jobs relative to its workforce, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider geographic zones, during the twelve months leading to March 2026, employment numbers rose by 1.3% and the total labor force grew by 2.4%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 1.0 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional Qld, where employment rose by 0.1%, the workforce expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide additional context on prospective future demand in Goondiwindi. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been modeled against the local industry profile to project local growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto Goondiwindi's job profile indicates local employment should rise by 5.7% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that does not account for local 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 — 92 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,230 at the 2021 Census → 6,251 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL31202). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
