Sales Detail
Jimboomba has an estimated 9,922 residents, up from 7,423 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,499 people, or 33.7%. Growth has averaged 5.9% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 800 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 75.0% of that increase. That puts 182 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
According to evaluations of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, combined with fresh street addresses verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Jimboomba has an estimated residency of 9,922 individuals in May 2026. This indicates a rise of 2,499 citizens (33.7%) from the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 7,423 people. The adjustment is calculated from a residential figure of 9,668, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release and 800 newly confirmed physical addresses since the Census. This population level translates to 181 persons per square kilometer, which ensures substantial space for each resident and leaves scope for future expansion.
The suburb of Jimboomba recorded a 33.7% expansion rate since the 2021 census, outperforming the national benchmark of 9.3% and the state average to lead local growth. The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion was interstate relocation, which accounted for approximately 75.0% of the population increase in recent times, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes demographic projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 locations missing from this set, or for timeframes beyond 2032, projection data from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 figures are implemented. Because these Queensland projections omit age distribution details, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings across age cohorts using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023, which utilize 2022 data. Anticipating these demographic adjustments, the suburb of Jimboomba is forecast to see remarkable expansion that ranks in the top 10 percent nationwide, with expectations to gain 4,347 residents by 2041 under combined SA2 projections, representing a 41.2% total rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
950 new dwellings have been approved in Jimboomba over the past five years, an average of 190 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 210 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 132, 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
Evaluations of ABS building permit statistics by AreaSearch show that the suburb of Jimboomba averaged roughly 190 new residential permits annually, translating to an estimated 950 approved homes during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 121 recorded during FY-26. An average of 2.5 additional residents were added for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, pointing to solid demand to help maintain property values, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $361,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $2.6 million during the current financial year, which highlights the predominantly residential makeup of the locality.
In comparison to the broader Greater Brisbane region, the suburb of Jimboomba maintains equivalent per capita building rates, sustaining a balanced market in line with nearby districts. This construction rate sits significantly higher than the national standard, demonstrating substantial developer optimism. The building mix is heavily weighted toward standalone houses at 91.0%, with townhouses and apartments comprising 9.0%, which preserves the low-density residential profile and appeals to families wanting extra space. Reflecting its status as an expanding district, the suburb of Jimboomba averages about 40 individuals for each building approval. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimates, future demographic projections point to the suburb of Jimboomba adding 4,093 occupants by 2041. Given ongoing construction patterns, the pipeline of new housing is positioned to satisfy this demand, presenting favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population growth above current forecasts.

5,387 residents of Jimboomba are employed, from a labour force of 5,586. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 72.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 7,709, about 78% 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 in the suburb of Jimboomba is evenly distributed between professional and industrial roles, with the building sector showing exceptionally strong local representation, and the unemployment rate standing at a low 3.6% based on aggregated local statistics. Jobholders numbered 5,387 as of March 2026, with unemployment tracking 0.8% lower than the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, and labor participation remaining close to the norm at 72.5% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates a moderate 13.6% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The major employment sectors for residents are building and construction, medical and social services, and industrial manufacturing. The building trade is particularly dominant locally, with employment density reaching 1.9 times the Greater Brisbane average. In contrast, technical and professional services are underrepresented, accounting for 4.1% of the workforce compared to the regional benchmark of 8.9%. The mismatch between the census day working population and the local resident labor force suggests that this heavily residential district offers few employment options within its boundaries. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026 indicates that the local workforce shrank by 0.1% alongside a drop in employment of 0.7%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a minor 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on employment trends for the suburb of Jimboomba. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, jobs are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce mix suggest employment for residents could rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.5% over ten years, representing a basic weighting model that does not adjust for specific local population growth.

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 — 800 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,423 at the 2021 Census → 9,922 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.
