AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data or years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 based on 2021 data are used. However, these state projections lack age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 and based on 2022 data for each age cohort. Looking ahead, Logan Reserve is projected to experience exceptional population growth, placing it in the top 10 percent of statistical areas analyzed by AreaSearch. By 2041, the suburb is expected to grow by an additional 14,207 persons, reflecting a total increase of 91.6% over the 16-year period based on aggregated SA2-level projections.
