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
Moorooka has an estimated 11,994 residents, up from 10,783 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,211 people, or 11.2%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years, faster than 75% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 51.0% of that increase. That puts 2,911 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Moorooka has an estimated resident count of around 11,994, derived from AreaSearch evaluating ABS broader area demographic revisions alongside newly validated addresses recorded since the Census. When measured against the 2021 Census tally of 10,783 residents, this represents an addition of 1,211 people (11.2%). This figure builds on the AreaSearch estimation of 11,992 inhabitants established from the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, combined with 24 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a density of 2,911 persons per square kilometer, the suburb places in the upper quartile of locations evaluated across Australia.
The suburb of Moorooka outpaced both its broader SA3 territory and the 9.5% nationwide benchmark with its 11.2% rate of expansion since the 2021 census, positioning it as an area pacesetter. International migration served as the foremost component of demographic expansion, delivering approximately 51.0% of all recent population gains. Projections for each SA2 area are taken from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data series using 2022 as the base year. For unlisted SA2 sections or periods extending post-2032, Queensland State Government projections published in 2023 from a 2021 baseline are applied. Because these state forecasts lack demographic age breakdowns, AreaSearch implements cohort-specific proportional growth scalings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region data (benchmarked to 2022). Looking ahead, the suburb of Moorooka is projected to expand at a rate slightly below the national statistical area median, gaining 489 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, which equates to an overall 16-year increase of 4.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
89 new dwellings have been approved in Moorooka over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 11, 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS construction permits indicates that Moorooka has seen approximately 17 dwelling approvals annually, amounting to an estimated 89 homes over the past 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, 11 permits have been recorded. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 9.2 new residents arrived per completed dwelling, demonstrating that construction is falling well short of incoming demand and creating heightened market competition alongside pricing pressure. Builders are targeting the upper tier of the housing sector, with newly approved homes carrying an average construction cost of $727,000.
Additionally, commercial development has progressed at a moderate pace, with $22.0 million in commercial approvals authorised during this financial year. Dwelling construction in Moorooka trails the regional rate significantly, falling 61.0% below the Greater Brisbane per-capita benchmark. Such constrained building volume typically intensifies competition and supports valuation growth across established residences. This level of building activity also sits below nationwide averages, underscoring the established fabric of the neighbourhood and indicating potential zoning and planning boundaries. Low-density detached houses comprise 75.0% of recent construction while attached formats account for 25.0%, preserving the suburban streetscape with standalone residences suited to purchasers prioritising space. The area records approximately 951 people per dwelling approval, confirming its profile as a mature residential market. Demographic projections suggest Moorooka will add 487 residents through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. Current building volumes appear well-aligned with future resident intake, supporting balanced local property market conditions without triggering excessive upward price momentum.

7,293 residents of Moorooka are employed, from a labour force of 7,612. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 76.1%. 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 9,761, about 81% 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
AreaSearch data aggregations show Moorooka possesses a qualified labour pool with notable professional services employment, an unemployment rate standing at 4.2%, and a 5.4% expansion in local employment over the past year. In March 2026, 7,293 residents were engaged in work. The local jobless rate sits 0.1% beneath the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%, while workforce involvement is particularly elevated at 76.1%, compared to 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. Census findings show that 22.8% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. Locals work primarily across health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical sectors.
The education & training sector exhibits a pronounced presence, engaging workers at 1.3 times the Greater Brisbane regional benchmark. In contrast, construction remains relatively small, engaging 6.8% of the local workforce compared to 9.0% across Greater Brisbane. Given the disparity between the local working population and resident labour base, the neighbourhood functions largely as a residential community with modest on-site employment capacity. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures across the year to March 2026, resident employment rose by 5.4% while the labour force expanded by 4.9%, lowering the jobless rate by 0.5 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded employment gains of 3.2% alongside a 3.4% workforce rise, with its jobless rate climbing 0.1 percentage points. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context regarding potential employment trajectories for Moorooka. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying by sector. When applying these industry weightings to the local employment structure, Moorooka is estimated to see job growth of 7.0% across five years and 14.3% across ten years, representing an illustrative baseline that does not factor in local population adjustments.

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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,783 at the 2021 Census → 11,994 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.
