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
Murrumba Downs has an estimated 14,032 residents, up from 10,795 at the 2021 Census — a change of 3,237 people, or 30.0%. Growth has averaged 4.5% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 338 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 2,179 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of the suburb of Murrumba Downs is estimated at around 14,032 as of May 2026. This represents an increase of 3,237 people (30.0%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,795 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 13,883, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 338 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,178 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The 30.0% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (9.3%), along with the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 53.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive factors. ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, are adopted by AreaSearch. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. As future population trends are examined, exceptional growth, placing in the top 10 percent of Australian statistical areas, is predicted over the period with the suburb of Murrumba Downs expected to expand by 6,218 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 43.2% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
611 new dwellings have been approved in Murrumba Downs over the past five years, an average of 122 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 82% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 73, 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
Based on building approval numbers from the ABS, allocated from statistical area data, the suburb of Murrumba Downs has averaged around 122 new dwelling approvals per year, totalling an estimated 611 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 67 approvals have been recorded. Given an average of 4.5 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand significantly exceeds new supply, which usually results in price growth and increased buyer competition, while new homes are being built at an average value of $399,000—slightly above the regional average—suggesting a focus on quality developments.
Also, $1.0 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, demonstrating the area's residential nature. Relative to Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Murrumba Downs has slightly more development (45.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), balancing buyer choice with support for current property values, though development activity has moderated in recent periods. Recent construction comprises 82.0% detached houses and 18.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the area's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. The location has approximately 161 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. Population forecasts indicate the suburb of Murrumba Downs will gain 6,069 residents through to 2041 (from 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.

8,013 residents of Murrumba Downs are employed, from a labour force of 8,324. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 74.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 10,795, about 77% 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
The suburb of Murrumba Downs possesses a skilled workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.7%, and 2.8% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 8,013 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.6% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, and workforce participation is fairly standard (74.7% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 16.4% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Employment among residents of the suburb of Murrumba Downs is concentrated in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The area has particular employment specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, with an employment share of 1.4 times the regional level. Meanwhile, professional & technical has limited presence with 6.1% employment compared to 8.9% regionally. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 2.8% while labour force increased by 2.7%, with unemployment remaining essentially unchanged. By comparison, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.2%, labour force growth of 3.4%, with unemployment rising 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within the suburb of Murrumba Downs. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to the suburb of Murrumba Downs's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 338 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,795 at the 2021 Census → 14,032 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.
