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
Logan Reserve has an estimated 14,516 residents, up from 7,016 at the 2021 Census — a change of 7,500 people, or 106.9%. Growth has averaged 16.9% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 2,542 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 86.0% of that increase. That puts 986 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
Logan Reserve's population is estimated at roughly 14,516 as of May 2026, calculated from ABS population updates for the wider region and new address verifications by AreaSearch since the Census. This shows an addition of 7,500 people (106.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 7,016 people. This shift is derived from a resident population of 13,608, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP data release (June 2025) and an extra 2,542 validated new addresses post-Census. Such a population size results in a density of 986 persons per square kilometer, matching typical averages across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 106.9% expansion in Logan Reserve since the 2021 census outpaced the national rate (9.3%) and the state level, placing the suburb at the forefront of regional growth. Interstate migration was the main driver of growth, accounting for approximately 86.0% of total population additions lately, with natural increase and overseas migration also contributing positively. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch to each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data, and for horizons beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 based on 2021 numbers are used. Because Queensland state projections omit age splits, AreaSearch redistributes growth across cohorts using proportional weights from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 with a 2022 baseline). Looking at future projections, the suburb of Logan Reserve is set for exceptional expansion in the top 10 percent of AreaSearch locations, with an expected increase of 14,207 persons to 2041 using aggregated SA2 projections, representing a 91.6% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
3,024 new dwellings have been approved in Logan Reserve over the past five years, an average of 604 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 42 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 607 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 81% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 819, running ahead of 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
AreaSearch assessment of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data shows Logan Reserve averaged around 604 new dwelling approvals annually, summing to an estimated 3,024 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26751 approvals have been registered. The past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) recorded an average of 2.4 new residents yearly per dwelling, pointing to healthy demand that supports property values, with new homes constructed at an average expected cost of $354,000. Additionally, commercial approvals reached $19.3 million this financial year, showing stable commercial building activity.
New construction consists of 81.0% detached houses and 19.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the suburban profile of the area with a focus on detached homes that draw space-seeking buyers. There are approximately 31 people per dwelling approval locally, showing an expanding market. Looking forward, Logan Reserve is projected to add 13,299 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on current building trends, the supply of new housing should easily satisfy demand, presenting favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current estimates.

6,155 residents of Logan Reserve are employed, from a labour force of 6,540. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 65.5%. 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 11,574, about 80% 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
Logan Reserve features a skilled workforce with a strong representation in the construction sector, alongside a 5.9% unemployment rate, according to AreaSearch data compiled from statistical areas. As of March 2026, 6,155 residents are employed, which places the local unemployment rate 1.6% higher than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, while workforce participation is somewhat low (65.5% versus Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Census records show that a low 9.8% of residents worked from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be kept in mind. The principal employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing.
The suburb displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, with its employment share at 1.8 times the regional rate. Conversely, the professional & technical sector employs only 4.2% of local workers, compared to 8.9% in Greater Brisbane. The heavily residential nature of the area limits local job opportunities, as shown by the comparison of Census working population to resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data from broader statistical areas, for the 12 months to March 2026, labor force numbers contracted by 1.3% while employment fell by 2.6%, causing a 1.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2% and the labor force expand by 3.4%, with a 0.1 percentage point rise. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia (May-25) provide further context for local demand trends. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, are mapped to the local industry mix to estimate growth. While national employment is forecast to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these national projections to Logan Reserve's profile indicates local employment should rise by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population projections).

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 — 2,542 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,016 at the 2021 Census → 14,516 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.
