Sales Detail
Murarrie has an estimated 5,410 residents, up from 4,946 at the 2021 Census — a change of 464 people, or 9.4%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 55.0% of that increase. That puts 640 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
Following an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Murarrie has a population calculated at roughly 5,410 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 464 people (9.4%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,946 people. This shift is deduced from a resident population of 5,405, estimated by AreaSearch after reviewing the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 32 validated new addresses since the Census date.
Such a population size corresponds to a density ratio of 639 persons per square kilometer, which offers substantial space per individual and potential capacity for future growth. The 9.4% growth recorded in the suburb of Murarrie since the 2021 census went beyond the national average (9.3%), making it a regional leader in expansion. Population gains in the area were largely propelled by natural growth, which accounted for approximately 55.00000000000001% of the total population increases in recent times, though all indicators including overseas migration and interstate migration served as positive contributors. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government for SA2 regions, published in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are used. These state-level projections do not break down numbers by age groups; consequently, where they are used, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age bracket. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, a substantial population rise in the top quartile of statistical areas throughout the country is anticipated, with the suburb of Murarrie projected to expand by 1,236 persons to 2041 based on compiled SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 22.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
135 new dwellings have been approved in Murarrie over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 19% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, broadly in line with 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 of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area records shows that Murarrie averages approximately 27 dwellings receiving development approval annually, with an estimated 135 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 27 to date in FY-26. Given that an average of 3.4 people per year relocated to the area for every home constructed during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), building activity is falling short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives upward pricing pressure, while new structures are built at an average value of $434,000, indicating developers are focusing on the high-end market segment with premium builds.
Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $20.8 million this financial year, pointing to steady commercial development. Recent residential construction activity consists of 19.0% detached houses and 81.0% medium and high-density dwellings. This focus on compact options provides less expensive entry options and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the existing housing stock (which is currently 69.0% houses), reflecting a decline in available development parcels and matching evolving lifestyle choices and affordability constraints. The area averages approximately 115 people per dwelling approval, showing a growing market. Demographic forecasts suggest Murarrie will add 1,231 residents through to 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current building rates do not change, housing supply is likely to fall behind population growth, which will probably increase competition among buyers and support upward price movements.

3,729 residents of Murarrie are employed, from a labour force of 3,840. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 85.1%. 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 11,275, about 2.1 times the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Murarrie features a highly educated labor force with a substantial share of professional services, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and an estimated employment growth rate of 3.9% over the past year, according to AreaSearch compilations of statistical area statistics. In March 2026, 3,729 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate sat 1.4% below the 4.3% rate of Greater Brisbane, while labor force participation was significantly higher than average (85.1% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane). Census records indicate a moderate 24.0% of residents worked from home, though the effects of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment fields for residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and construction. The community displays a notable concentration in professional & technical fields, with employment share reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a smaller presence, accounting for 14.0% of local employment compared to 16.1% across the region. With 2.9 workers per resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a major employment center, providing more jobs than it has working residents and drawing commuters from neighboring suburbs. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader statistical divisions, the 12-month timeframe saw a 3.9% rise in employment alongside a 4.2% increase in the labor force, which led to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% increase in employment, a 3.4% rise in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand within Murarrie. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future trends. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure suggests that employment in Murarrie should rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 32 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,946 at the 2021 Census → 5,410 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.
