Sales Detail
Minyama has an estimated 2,931 residents, up from 2,726 at the 2021 Census — a change of 205 people, or 7.5%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 103 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 1,320 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
In the suburb of Minyama, population figures stand at approximately 2,931 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated address counts. Compared to the 2021 Census total of 2,726 people, this represents an addition of 205 people (7.5%). The calculation draws upon AreaSearch's 2,923 resident count determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 103 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. Consequently, population density reaches 1,320 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average across nationally assessed locations by AreaSearch.
With post-census expansion at 7.5%, the suburb of Minyama trails the Rest of Qld (9.4%) by just 1.9 percentage points, highlighting sound growth drivers. Inbound overseas migration formed the core contributor, generating around 82.0% of recent population increases. Projections for each SA2 area in the suburb of Minyama are sourced from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as its baseline year, with post-2032 periods and uncovered locations adopting the Queensland State Government's 2023 SA2 releases based on 2021 figures. Because state models lack age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution weights derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data). Demographic trajectories indicate expansion surpassing the national regional median, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting the area to grow by 523 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 17.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
38 new dwellings have been approved in Minyama over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Data on ABS building approvals examined by AreaSearch indicates that Minyama averages approximately 7 residential approvals per annum, accumulating roughly 38 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 9 approvals have been logged. The ratio of 3 new residents gained annually for every residence constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to robust underlying demand favorable to property values, while an average expected construction cost of $1,804,000 per dwelling highlights a strong developer focus on upmarket, premium projects. Recent residential building activity is divided equally between 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% attached dwellings.
This transition toward higher-density options offers more attainable price points catering to entry-level purchasers, downsizers, and investors. It marks a clear departure from the existing dwelling stock (currently 70.0% houses), underscoring a scarcity of greenfield sites alongside shifting community preferences for diverse, affordable dwelling types. Furthermore, a ratio of around 413 people per approval characterizes a mature residential market. According to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Minyama is on track to add 515 residents by 2041. If prevailing construction rates continue without accelerating, residential development may fall behind demographic gains, potentially heightening competition among buyers and bolstering upward value trends.

Program Alliance delivery partners are expected to be onboard by late 2026, with main construction to commence in 2027. Stage 1 is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments at $160 million each, a combined commitment of $320 million.
1,348 residents of Minyama are employed, from a labour force of 1,395. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 54.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,612, about 89% 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
Statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch reveal that Minyama maintains an experienced talent pool, prominent building industry participation, and a low unemployment rate of 3.4%. As of March 2026, employed locals number 1,348, with joblessness sitting 0.5% beneath the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, even though labour force participation of 54.2% remains well under the regional benchmark of 64.2%. Census figures also show that 18.9% of local workers operated from home, though this was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are concentrated primarily in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Construction shows pronounced local specialization, registering an employment concentration 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety represents just 2.9% of the local workforce, trailing the 5.9% regional rate. Comparison between Census local workforce counts and resident numbers points to a predominantly residential locality with relatively few employment openings within its own borders. An examination of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12-month period, the local labour force shrank by 3.1% while overall employment fell 3.9%, driving a 0.8 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise 0.1% and the labour force expand 0.3%, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point uptick. Longer-term workforce expectations can be evaluated using national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26, which project country-wide job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years across varying industries. Projecting these industry trends onto the local occupational profile suggests employment among residents could expand 6.9% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing an illustrative proportional weighting that excludes localized demographic 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 — 103 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,726 at the 2021 Census → 2,931 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 Aug 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.
