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
Tamborine Mountain has an estimated 8,493 residents, up from 8,105 at the 2021 Census — a change of 388 people, or 4.8%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. That puts 200 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 newly validated addresses recorded by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the suburb of Tamborine Mountain has a population of approximately 8,493 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 388 individuals (4.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 8,105 residents. This adjustment is derived from the resident population of 8,485, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP data release (June 2025) plus 11 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such a population size results in a density ratio of 200 persons per square kilometer, which offers ample space per resident and scope for additional growth.
The suburb of Tamborine Mountain's post-census growth of 4.8% is within 2.4 percentage points of the SA3 area rate (7.2%), indicating competitive local growth trends. The demographic expansion was mainly fueled by arrivals from overseas, which accounted for approximately 52.0% of the total population gains in recent times, though all demographic components, including interstate arrivals and natural expansion, registered positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates the ABS/Geoscience Australia population projections for individual SA2 areas, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for the years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized. Because these Queensland state projections do not separate residents by age group, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking at future population dynamics, the area is projected to experience growth slightly below the median for regional non-capital locations, with aggregated SA2-level forecasts indicating an increase of 944 residents to 2041, which represents an overall growth rate of 11.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
53 new dwellings have been approved in Tamborine Mountain over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, running ahead of 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from statistical areas, Tamborine Mountain averages approximately 10 new home approvals annually, with an estimated total of 53 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. During the current financial year of FY-26, 25 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 6.3 new residents added for each completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the supply of housing is running significantly behind demand, a situation that typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices, while new dwellings carry an average construction cost of $446,000.
Additionally, commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $2.2 million, indicating a very low level of commercial construction. Relative to the Rest of Qld, building activity in Tamborine Mountain is dramatically lower (75.0% below the regional average per resident). This restricted supply generally underpins demand and supports values for pre-existing houses, even though construction has picked up recently. This level of activity is also below the national average, pointing to a mature market and highlighting potential constraints on development. Furthermore, recent building activity has consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density character of the area through single-dwelling properties that appeal to buyers looking for space. The ratio of 604 residents per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet and low-activity nature of the development landscape. Long-term forecasts indicate Tamborine Mountain will add 936 residents by 2041 (calculated from the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch). Should the current pace of construction persist, the supply of dwellings may fail to match population growth, potentially heightening competition among home buyers and reinforcing stronger price growth.

4,077 residents of Tamborine Mountain are employed, from a labour force of 4,231. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 57.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,735, about 79% 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
Tamborine Mountain features a highly educated labor force, strong representation in essential service industries, an unemployment rate of only 3.6%, and estimated job growth of 3.2% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch compilations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 4,077 residents employed, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.3% below the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, though participation in the labor force is significantly lower (57.9% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld). Census returns show that a moderate 24.0% of working residents performed their jobs from home, although the influence of Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns should be kept in mind.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and accommodation & food services. The local area displays a notable concentration in education & training, employing workers at a rate 1.5 times that of the region. Conversely, the mining sector has a minimal footprint, employing 1.1% of the workforce compared to 3.6% regionally. The largely residential community appears to provide relatively few local jobs, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from wider geographical areas, the 12 months ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 3.2% while the total labor force grew by 2.5%, yielding a 0.6 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced job growth of 0.1%, labor force expansion of 0.3%, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected future demand trends in Tamborine Mountain. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of expansion varies greatly by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local employment structure suggests employment in Tamborine Mountain would grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 11 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,105 at the 2021 Census → 8,493 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL32732). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
