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.

Toogoom has an estimated 2,809 residents, up from 2,596 at the 2021 Census — a change of 213 people, or 8.2%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 88.0% of that increase. That puts 295 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS updates alongside 42 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date, the suburb of Toogoom has reached an estimated population of around 2,809 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 213 people (8.2%) from the 2,596 people recorded at the 2021 Census, with current figures drawing upon the ABS ERP release from June 2025. The area maintains a density of 295 persons per square kilometer, offering ample room and capacity for future expansion. Over the previous ten years, the suburb of Toogoom expanded at a compound annual growth rate of 2.7%, exceeding the wider SA3 area, with net interstate migration accounting for approximately 88.0% of these demographic additions during recent periods.
SA2 demographic modeling utilizes 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia figures based on 2022 benchmarks, while post-2032 horizons and areas outside this dataset incorporate Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 from 2021 data. Because the state series lacks age-specific breakdowns, cohort weighting is applied using ABS Greater Capital Region distributions published in 2023 from 2022 benchmarks. Projections indicate demographic gains slightly trailing national regional medians, with the suburb of Toogoom projected to expand by 292 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 boundaries, representing an overall rise of 10.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
48 new dwellings have been approved in Toogoom over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 33, 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
ABS building approval statistics analyzed by AreaSearch show that Toogoom has generated roughly 9 residential approvals annually, totaling approximately 48 approved dwellings throughout the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), including 33 during FY-25 to date. During the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the community registered 4.2 new residents per constructed dwelling, highlighting elevated demand relative to supply that tends to heighten buyer competition and elevate property values. Construction costs for new residences have averaged $432,000, sitting below regional benchmarks to deliver more attainable options, while non-residential activity totaled $58,000 this financial year, underscoring the predominantly domestic setting.
Per capita construction in Toogoom stands at approximately 75% of the level seen across Rest of Qld, positioning it in the 89th percentile across Australia following recent acceleration in building output. Recent approvals comprise 79.0% separate houses and 21.0% medium and high-density formats, sustaining a low-density profile centered on detached dwellings that appeal to buyers wanting space. This pipeline marks a transition from the existing stock of 98.0% houses, signaling tighter land supply alongside changing household needs for accessible and varied living spaces. Supporting approximately 81 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of an expanding market. Demographic modeling indicates an anticipated gain of 292 residents in Toogoom through to 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly AreaSearch assessment. While current residential building volume aligns with projected population expansion, incoming purchasers could encounter tightening market competition over time.

1,025 residents of Toogoom are employed, from a labour force of 1,077. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 45.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,290, about 82% 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
Toogoom maintains a mixed employment profile across blue and white collar positions, underpinned by substantial representation in community service sectors, an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and estimated yearly job gains of 6.0% according to statistical aggregations from AreaSearch. Total employed residents numbered 1,025 as of March 2026, alongside an unemployment rate tracking 0.9% higher than the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, while labor participation reached 45.1%, trailing the wider Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Remote workers accounted for 10.4% of employed locals at the Census, a figure subject to the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
Local workers are primarily concentrated across health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Specialization in health care & social assistance is pronounced, capturing a proportion 1.5 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.4% of local employment compared to 4.5% regionally. Disparities between local resident counts and Census day working numbers indicate a restricted base of commercial positions within the immediate area. AreaSearch assessment of broader SALM and ABS datasets shows that across the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 6.0% and the labour force rose by 2.9%, reducing the jobless rate by 2.9 percentage points. Across Regional Qld over the equivalent timeframe, employment lifted 0.1%, the workforce grew 0.3%, and unemployment increased 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding forward hiring demand. Extrapolating these national industry trends (forecast to grow 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years) across Toogoom's sector profile points to potential employment gains of 6.9% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, representing an illustrative baseline calculation independent of localized demographic shifts.

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 — 42 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,596 at the 2021 Census → 2,809 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 (SAL32845). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
