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
Moggill has an estimated 5,541 residents, up from 5,029 at the 2021 Census — a change of 512 people, or 10.2%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 50.0% of that increase. That puts 476 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS updates alongside post-Census address validations, the suburb of Moggill has an estimated population of approximately 5,541 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 512 people (10.2%) compared to the 5,029 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such figures are drawn from an Estimated Resident Population (ERP) of 5,528 determined via the ABS release from June 2025, combined with 60 validated new addresses added after the Census date. With a density of 476 persons per square kilometer, the suburb provides ample living area alongside capacity for future development.
Surpassing both the SA3 area (5.5%) and the wider SA4 region, the suburb of Moggill established itself as a regional pacesetter with its 10.2% growth rate since the 2021 census. Natural increase served as the primary contributor to demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 50.0% of all recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 area utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For periods beyond 2032 or locations lacking this coverage, figures rely on Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 from 2021 benchmarks. Because these state figures omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, long-term demographic expansion for the suburb of Moggill is projected to place in the national lower quartile, adding 155 persons to 2041 under consolidated SA2 modelling, which equates to an overall gain of 2.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
88 new dwellings have been approved in Moggill over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 23, 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 statistical area building data analysed by AreaSearch, Moggill averages approximately 17 residential building permits annually, totaling an estimated 88 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 23 recorded during FY-25 to date. An influx of 4.4 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates that buyer demand markedly outpaces newly constructed stock, applying upward price pressure and intensifying purchasing competition. Approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $652,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on high-end, premium residential projects.
Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $37.2 million this financial year, reflecting substantial local commercial development activity. Relative to Greater Brisbane, Moggill demonstrates higher residential construction activity, tracking 36.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period, which maintains asset values while offering adequate options to purchasers. Approvals have comprised entirely of detached houses, sustaining the low-density neighborhood character favored by buyers seeking land and spacious dwellings. Generating one approval per roughly 203 people, the local market exhibits ongoing transitional dynamics. According to the latest quarterly demographic projections from AreaSearch, Moggill is anticipated to add 142 residents through to 2041. At current building approval rates, upcoming housing construction appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, supporting favorable buyer purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population growth beyond baseline expectations.

2,805 residents of Moggill are employed, from a labour force of 2,938. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 68.3%. 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 4,698, 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
Workforce figures aggregated by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries indicate that Moggill possesses a highly skilled labor pool with prominent professional representation alongside a 4.5% unemployment rate. As of March 2026, employed residents count 2,805, while joblessness sits 0.2% above Greater Brisbane's 4.3% benchmark, and labor force participation aligns closely with Greater Brisbane's 70.1%. Census records showed that 27.8% of local workers performed their roles from home, although Covid-19 lockdown restrictions formed an important context for this figure. Key employment sectors among residents consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical roles.
Local representation in education & training is especially strong, standing at 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food services accounts for an under-indexed 4.4% of the resident workforce relative to 6.7% in Greater Brisbane. The predominantly suburban residential landscape provides limited internal employment, as demonstrated by the variance between the Census working population and resident worker counts. Examining SALM and ABS statistical data over the twelve months to March 2026, the local labor pool contracted by 1.8% and total employment dropped by 2.8%, driving a 1.0 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. In contrast, Greater Brisbane saw employment rise by 3.2%, the labor force grow by 3.4%, and joblessness rise by 0.1 percentage points. Long-range baseline expectations can also be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26. Mapping these across the local industry profile provides insight into future labor demand. Nationally, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-specific rates vary widely. Projecting these industry rates across the local workforce structure indicates prospective job gains of 7.0% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (note that this model represents a weighted industry extrapolation for demonstration and excludes localized population forecasts).

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 — 60 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,029 at the 2021 Census → 5,541 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL31871). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
