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.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to census data and newer addresses checked by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Moggill is projected to be 5,533 by May 2026. This represents a 10.0% rise, or an extra 504 individuals, compared to the 5,029 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This change is calculated using a baseline resident population of 5,523 estimated by AreaSearch from June 2025 ABS ERP data, plus 59 new validated addresses. The suburb of Moggill currently has a density of 475 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial room for expansion.
The suburb of Moggill outpaced both the broader SA3 area (5.5%) and the SA4 region with its 10.0% population growth, positioning it as a leading growth zone. Natural population increases accounted for approximately 50.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections for SA2 regions are sourced from 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia releases using 2022 as a baseline, and where unavailable or for years after 2032, Queensland State Government 2023 projections based on 2021 data are used. Since state-level projections lack detailed age cohorts, AreaSearch applies age-group weightings aligned with 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region data based on 2022 figures. Over the 16 years leading up to 2041, the suburb of Moggill is projected to experience lower quartile growth, with a modest increase of 153 individuals based on combined SA2 projections, representing a 2.6% total expansion.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
101 new dwellings have been approved in Moggill over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, broadly in line with 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
Analysis of building approvals shows that the suburb of Moggill averages approximately 20 approved residential projects annually, totaling 101 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 21 approvals have been documented. Because an average of 4.2 new residents moved to the suburb for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outpaces supply, which typically puts upward pressure on prices and intensifies competition among buyers. The average estimated construction cost for these new builds is $516,000, showing a focus on upscale residential properties. Additionally, local business growth is supported by $37.2 million in commercial building approvals this financial year.
Building activity in the suburb of Moggill is moderately higher than the Greater Brisbane average, tracking 26.0% above the regional per-capita benchmark over the 5 year period, which maintains supply options while protecting existing property values. Detached houses comprise the entirety of new builds, reinforcing the established low-density layout of the area and its family-oriented appeal. With roughly 249 people for every home approval, the suburb of Moggill shows a developing residential sector. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, the suburb of Moggill is expected to add 143 residents by 2041. Under current construction trajectories, the housing supply is anticipated to comfortably meet this demand, offering favorable choices for purchasers and potentially supporting growth that surpasses baseline expectations.

2,793 residents of Moggill are employed, from a labour force of 2,928. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 68.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,694, about 85% 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 local workforce features a high level of educational attainment with a strong presence of professionals, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.6% based on aggregated data. In March 2026, there were 2,793 working residents. The unemployment rate is 0.3% higher than the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, while the workforce participation rate matches the regional level of 70.4%. Census figures show that 27.8% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. The major employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical.
The concentration of residents working in education & training is notable, reaching 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food services is less common, employing 4.4% of the local workforce compared to 6.7% in Greater Brisbane. The gap between the census working population and the resident population indicates that this residential area offers limited local jobs. Based on local area statistics from SALM and the ABS, the workforce shrank by 1.9% and total employment fell by 3.0% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 1.0 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. This trend diverges from Greater Brisbane, which saw employment rise by 3.2%, the labor force expand by 3.4%, and unemployment tick up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment trends from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context on future demand. When mapped against the local employment distribution, national growth forecasts of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years suggest that employment among residents will increase by 7.0% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, assuming a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 59 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,029 at the 2021 Census → 5,533 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.
