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.

Mooloolah Valley has an estimated 3,863 residents, up from 3,629 at the 2021 Census — a change of 234 people, or 6.4%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. 126 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 211 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 evaluations of ABS population updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Mooloolah Valley has an estimated population of approximately 3,863 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 234 people (6.4%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 3,629 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 3,673, estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and a further 126 validated new addresses since the Census date. The population size yields a density ratio of 211 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial space per resident and potential capacity for additional development.
The 6.4% post-census growth rate for the suburb of Mooloolah Valley is within 2.8 percentage points of the Rest of Qld (9.2%), showing competitive growth indicators. Population increases in the area were chiefly driven by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 82.0% of all population growth in recent times, though every driver, including natural increases and overseas migration, played a positive role. AreaSearch utilises ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government for SA2 regions, published in 2023 and utilizing 2021 data, are adopted instead. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth weightings based on the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) for each age bracket. Looking at future demographic trends, exceptional growth ranking in the top 10 percent of non-capital locations is anticipated over the timeframe, with the suburb of Mooloolah Valley projected to add 2,484 residents by 2041 under combined SA2-level projections, showing an increase of 59.4% overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
213 new dwellings have been approved in Mooloolah Valley over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That is 11.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, well below 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, Mooloolah Valley has averaged approximately 42 new residential approvals per year, summing to an estimated 213 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 17 approvals have been logged. With an average of only 0.9 new residents annually per built home over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the incoming supply is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, providing buyers with diverse options and establishing capacity for growth beyond current population estimates, while new dwellings carry an average construction cost of $428,000.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $7.2 million have been registered during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. Compared to Rest of Qld, Mooloolah Valley registers 18.0% less building activity per person, placing it in the 27th percentile of evaluated locations across the nation, indicating more constrained options for buyers and bolstering demand for established homes. This volume is significantly above the national average, showcasing strong builder confidence in the locality. Recent building activity is made up of 93.0% detached homes and 7.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the established low-density aesthetic focused on family residences for those wanting space. The estimated ratio of 618 people for each dwelling approval points to a quiet, low-scale construction landscape. Demographic projections show that Mooloolah Valley is set to add 2,294 residents up to 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Construction is keeping reasonable pace with this projected growth, though purchasing opportunities may become more competitive as the population expands.

1,613 residents of Mooloolah Valley are employed, from a labour force of 1,649. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 57.5%. 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 3,274, 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
Mooloolah Valley features a qualified labor force with strong representation in essential services, and an unemployment rate of only 2.2%, according to AreaSearch data compiled from statistical areas. As of March 2026, 1,613 local residents are employed, which places the unemployment rate at 1.7% below the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, while participation in the workforce is notably lower at 57.5% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate a moderate 16.4% of residents worked from home, although Covid-19 lockdown circumstances should be taken into account. The primary employment fields for residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The locality exhibits a strong concentration in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.8% of the local workforce, trailing the Regional Qld rate of 4.5%. This heavily residential locality appears to provide sparse local job opportunities, as shown by the comparison of Census workers to the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data compiled from wider statistical areas, the 12-month timeframe saw the labor force shrink by 12.6% and employment fall by 13.0%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. This differs from Regional Qld, where employment grew by 0.1%, the workforce expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide extra context regarding future labor demand in Mooloolah Valley. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local industry mix to model growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion varies widely by sector. Applying these sectoral trends to the local job mix indicates Mooloolah Valley employment should grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, which represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and excludes localized population models.

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 — 126 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,629 at the 2021 Census → 3,863 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL31896). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
