Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the suburb of Loganholme's population is estimated at around 7,772 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,008 people (14.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 6,764 people.

This level of population equates to a density ratio of 881 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb of Loganholme's 14.9% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (8.4%), along with the national average, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth that contributed approximately 38.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including interstate migration and overseas migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. As we examine future population trends, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas across the nation is expected, with the suburb of Loganholme expected to increase by 945 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 11.3% in total over the 16 years.
