Mundoolun lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of Feb 2026, Mundoolun's population is estimated at around 2,033, reflecting an increase of 197 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 1,836.

The population density is approximately 47 persons per square kilometer. Mundoolun's population growth rate of 10.7% since the 2021 Census exceeded both national (9.9%) and state averages. Interstate migration contributed about 75.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with other factors such as natural growth and overseas migration also being positive contributors. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022.

For areas not covered by this data or years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted, applying proportional growth weightings from ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort where necessary. By 2041, Mundoolun's population is forecasted to increase by 770 persons, reflecting a total increase of 41.3% over the 17-year period based on aggregated SA2-level projections.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Mundoolun when compared nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data in Mundoolun, shows around 5 new homes approved each year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 27 homes. So far in FY-26, 6 approvals have been recorded.

An average of 12.2 new residents per year has arrived per dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25. Supply is substantially lagging demand, indicating heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures. New dwellings are developed at an average value of $361,000. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Mundoolun shows reduced construction, 89.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings.

However, construction activity has intensified recently. This activity is also under the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. New building activity shows 86.0% standalone homes and 14.0% medium and high-density housing, maintaining Mundoolun's traditional low density character focused on family homes. With around 229 people per approval, Mundoolun reflects a transitioning market. Future projections show Mundoolun adding 839 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.
