Mooroobool has an estimated 7,324 residents, up from 7,136 at the 2021 Census — a change of 188 people, or 2.6%. That puts 1,592 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

Analyzing ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region alongside address records validated by AreaSearch since the Census shows the suburb of Mooroobool has an estimated residency of 7,324 people as of May 2026. Compared to the Census in 2021, when the population was recorded at 7,136, this represents a growth of 188 individuals, or 2.6%. The calculation is based on an estimated resident population of 7,322 determined by AreaSearch from the ABS demographic release in June 2025, combined with 3 new validated addresses since the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 1,592 people per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical average for locations evaluated by AreaSearch.

The primary driver of this demographic growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 57.99999999999999% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used. Because the Queensland projections do not detail age brackets, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 and based on 2022 figures. Looking forward, the suburb of Mooroobool is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the median for regional parts of Australia, with SA2 projections indicating an increase of 534 people by 2041, representing a total rise of 7.3% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Mooroobool

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

Property development is very quiet in the suburb of Mooroobool, averaging just 1 residential building approval each year, totaling 9 approvals over the five-year timeframe. This quiet level of building is typical of rural settings where housing demand is low and development is naturally constrained by local market requirements and infrastructure limits. Because approvals are so low, single projects can have a major influence on annual metrics and comparative statistics. Property development in the suburb of Mooroobool is naturally much slower than in the Rest of Qld, and stands below national averages.

In addition, new building activity has consisted entirely of detached houses, matching the rural character of the locality where larger blocks and space are common. Detached houses make up a larger portion of new builds than the existing profile indicates (77.0% at Census), showing that demand for separate family homes remains strong despite density trends. With a ratio of roughly 4877 people per approval, the suburb of Mooroobool displays the characteristics of a mature, established residential market. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Mooroobool will add 532 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should building rates stay at current levels, housing supply might not keep pace with population growth, which could increase buyer competition and support higher price gains.

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,136 at the 2021 Census → 7,324 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 (SAL31909). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Mooroobool suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Mooroobool page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Mooroobool data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
