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
Manoora (Qld) has an estimated 6,325 residents, up from 6,175 at the 2021 Census — a change of 150 people, or 2.4%. That puts 2,836 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
Based on evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Manoora (Qld) is estimated to be approximately 6,325 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 150 people (2.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 6,175 residents. The variance is derived from a resident population of 6,323, calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ERP release from the ABS alongside 4 validated new addresses since the Census. This count indicates a density of 2,836 people per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of domestic locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Growth was heavily supported by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 54.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base period for each SA2 area. For locations lacking this coverage, and for any projections past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections from 2023 based on 2021 numbers are used. Because state projections do not separate residents by age bracket, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data. Future trends point to substantial demographic expansion in the upper quartile of regional Australian zones, with the suburb of Manoora (Qld) projected to expand by 1,876 individuals by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 29.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
32 new dwellings have been approved in Manoora (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 54, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from statistical zones, the suburb of Manoora (Qld) has averaged approximately 6 dwelling approvals annually, with 32 residences approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25 and 50 approved during the current FY-26 period. Housing supply and demand appear balanced, with an average of 1.4 people moving to the area for every new dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, though this has shifted to -0.7 people per home over the last 2 financial years, pointing to a more balanced supply-demand ratio.
The average estimated value of new construction is $532,000, showing that developers are prioritizing high-end, premium properties. Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $78,000 in the current financial year, indicating very low business development activity. Compared to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Manoora (Qld) shows significantly lower construction volumes, tracking at 71.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited addition of new stock generally supports demand and values for existing properties. Activity is also lower than the national benchmark, suggesting a mature market and potential development constraints. New building approvals consist of 80.0% detached houses and 20.0% townhouses or units, maintaining a suburban character with space-oriented family homes. Developers are building freestanding houses at a higher rate than the current housing profile of 39.0% at Census, reflecting sustained interest in family homes despite density trends. The ratio of residents to dwelling approvals is roughly 1150, confirming an established property market. Long-term projections indicate that the suburb of Manoora (Qld) will gain 1,874 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, residential supply may lag population growth, which could increase competition among purchasers and encourage stronger price gains.

2,618 residents of Manoora (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 3,001. Unemployment sits at 12.8%, with participation at 58.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,568, about 88% 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 suburb of Manoora (Qld) has a qualified workforce with strong representation in critical services sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 12.8% based on AreaSearch compilations. In March 2026, 2,618 locals are employed, with the unemployment rate tracking 8.8% higher than the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%, and participation rates are notably lower at 58.7% compared to the regional figure of 64.3%. Census data showed that a minor 10.0% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions. The primary sectors employing residents are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade.
The local workforce is highly concentrated in accommodation & food, at 1.6 times the regional average rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.9% of local jobs compared to the Regional Qld level of 4.5%. This mostly residential community offers limited local employment, as shown by the comparison of Census workers to the resident population. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, combined from larger statistical regions, indicates that the twelve-month period experienced a 2.0% decline in the labour force alongside a 7.0% drop in employment, which caused the unemployment rate to increase by 4.7 percentage points. In comparison, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% growth in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Insights into future demand for Manoora can be gained from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts published in May-25. These forecasts span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trends. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these sectoral forecasts are applied to Manoora's current employment structure, local employment is estimated to rise by 6.7% over five years and by 14.0% over ten years, keeping in mind that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized 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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,175 at the 2021 Census → 6,325 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.
