Sales Detail
Murgon has an estimated 2,320 residents, up from 2,220 at the 2021 Census — a change of 100 people, or 4.5%. Density is about 36 people per 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 Murgon has an estimated population of around 2,320, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census address validations. This represents an addition of 100 people (4.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,220 people. Such an adjustment is deduced from an estimated resident population base of 2,318 following AreaSearch's review of the ABS June 2025 ERP figures, complemented by 1 validated new addresses registered after the Census benchmark. Across the locality, this population distribution yields a low-density measure of 35 persons per square kilometer, ensuring spacious living conditions.
With a 4.5% post-Census expansion, the suburb of Murgon trails the SA3 area figure (6.7%) by 2.2 percentage points, maintaining solid demographic momentum. The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion has been interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 89.0% of recent population additions. Demographic modeling for the suburb of Murgon applies ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For periods beyond 2032 or areas not covered under this framework, SA2 projections issued by the Queensland State Government in 2023 (benchmarked to 2021) are incorporated. Because these state forecasts lack age cohort segmentations, AreaSearch utilizes proportional age distributions drawn from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 based on 2022 figures). Over the longer term, the suburb of Murgon is projected to record growth slightly under the non-metropolitan national median, gaining 164 persons to 2041 according to consolidated SA2 forecasts, which amounts to a 7.0% cumulative rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
22 new dwellings have been approved in Murgon over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, 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
Residential building approvals allocated from statistical area records indicate that Murgon averages around 4 dwellings receiving development approval per year, totaling approximately 22 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 1 recorded in FY-25 to date. An average intake of 2 new residents annually for every completed home across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to steady demand underpinning local asset values. Construction costs for new residences average $385,000, sitting below regional benchmarks and highlighting relatively affordable construction opportunities. Non-residential development includes $242,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, confirming that building activity remains predominantly focused on housing.
Per capita building activity in Murgon represents approximately 56% of the rate recorded across Rest of Qld, placing the locality in the 22nd percentile across the country. This comparatively subdued volume constrains newly built options for purchasers while driving buyer engagement toward established residences. Building rates remain suppressed relative to national benchmarks as well, illustrating established market conditions and potential delivery constraints. Recent residential activity has consisted entirely of standalone houses, preserving low suburban densities and appealing to buyers seeking larger land parcels. An average ratio of 661 people per residential approval underscores the area's tranquil, low-intensity building pipeline. Looking forward from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Murgon is anticipated to expand by 162 residents through to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, newly added dwelling supply could fall short of resident growth, potentially escalating buyer competition and fostering enhanced price appreciation.

952 residents of Murgon are employed, from a labour force of 1,011. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 52.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,854, about 80% 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
Murgon features a workforce balanced across professional and trade-based roles, with strong representation in community services, a 5.8% unemployment rate, and 8.8% estimated job growth over the preceding year according to AreaSearch's statistical area aggregation. March 2026 data shows 952 employed residents, an unemployment rate 1.9% higher than the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, and a participation rate that trails at 52.4% compared to 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records revealed that 6.3% of workers operated from home, though this metric was recorded under Covid-19 lockdown circumstances. Local employment is predominantly concentrated in health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The workforce shows distinctive depth in education & training, where representation reaches 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical occupations account for only 1.4% of workers compared to the 5.1% regional standard. A comparison between Census resident workers and local operational roles indicates a constrained volume of employment within the immediate locality. According to AreaSearch's synthesis of ABS and SALM data across broader statistical boundaries, the year to March 2026 saw employment climb by 8.8% and the local labour force expand by 5.5%, leading to a 2.9 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Qld recorded employment gains of 0.1% alongside a 0.3% increase in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader labor trends are outlined in Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26, which evaluate five and ten-year demand trajectories mapped against local industry compositions. At the national scale, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-specific trajectories vary widely. Extrapolating these patterns against Murgon's industry baseline indicates projected local employment growth of 6.2% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this weighting is an illustrative extrapolation and does not incorporate localized demographic 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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,220 at the 2021 Census → 2,320 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL32082). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
