Sales Detail
Woombye has an estimated 4,596 residents, up from 3,944 at the 2021 Census — a change of 652 people, or 16.5%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 340 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
As of Aug 2026, demographic analysis by AreaSearch incorporating ABS regional updates alongside post-Census validated address counts places the population of the suburb of Woombye at approximately 4,596. Compared to the 3,944 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this demonstrates a gain of 652 people (16.5%). This expansion is based on an estimated resident population of 4,528 derived from the ABS ERP release from June 2025 in combination with 93 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With a density of 340 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Woombye provides generous spatial amenity and capacity for continued expansion.
Outpacing both the national benchmark and the Rest of Qld (9.4%), the 16.5% expansion recorded since the 2021 census positions the area as a standout growth market. While natural increase and overseas arrivals contributed positively, interstate migration served as the primary catalyst, generating roughly 62.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Woombye incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 models anchored to a 2022 baseline, supplemented after post-2032 and across unlisted areas by 2023 Queensland State Government figures calibrated to 2021 data. Because state datasets lack detailed age breakdowns, proportional weighting has been applied using 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region cohort distributions based on 2022 benchmarks. Looking forward, the suburb of Woombye is slated to achieve expansion figures within the highest quartile of non-metropolitan locations across the country, with aggregated SA2 modeling anticipating a rise of 1,200 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 24.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
166 new dwellings have been approved in Woombye over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 69% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, 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
ABS residential approval data examined by AreaSearch indicates that Woombye registers approximately 33 dwelling approvals per year, totaling an estimated 166 homes across the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 22 sanctioned during FY-25 to date. Supply continues to fall substantially short of underlying demand, as evidenced by an influx of 5.3 new residents per year per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), creating upward pricing pressure and intensified competition. Residential construction costs mirror regional standards at an average of $509,000 per dwelling, while non-residential activity remains subdued with $3.7 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year.
Per capita residential construction in Woombye aligns closely with the Rest of Qld, preserving general parity with the surrounding region. Recent approvals reveal 69.0% detached houses alongside 31.0% medium and high-density housing, expanding the local pipeline of medium-density stock to offer varied price points spanning standard family residences and smaller, cost-effective options. This composition contrasts with the existing stock of 86.0% houses, reflecting constrained land availability alongside changing buyer preferences and affordability considerations, with the current ratio of roughly 163 people per dwelling approval pointing to ongoing growth. Longer-term projections indicate that Woombye will expand by 1,132 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figure. While local residential construction remains aligned with projected expansion, heightened competition among prospective purchasers is expected as the resident base grows.

2,379 residents of Woombye are employed, from a labour force of 2,516. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 67.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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 5,025, about 109% of 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
Woombye features a qualified labour pool with notable representation across essential service sectors and an overall jobless rate of 5.4%, according to regional statistical aggregations by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,379, the local unemployment rate stood 1.5% higher than the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, and the participation rate remained healthy at 67.9% compared to 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records also revealed that 13.9% of workers operated from home, a metric subject to the influence of pandemic lockdown conditions. The primary sectors supporting local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Health care & social assistance exhibits substantial concentration, holding a 1.2 times higher employment share than the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.2% of the local workforce compared to 4.5% in Regional Qld. Furthermore, a ratio of 0.7 workers per resident recorded at the Census demonstrates an above-average volume of local employment opportunities. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM statistical series shows that across the twelve months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 1.4% and total employment fell by 2.5%, lifting the jobless rate by 1.1 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour demand. Over five-year and ten-year horizons, national employment is projected to climb by 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though sectoral performance varies widely. Calibrating these national industry trends against Woombye's local workforce composition yields estimated employment growth of 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes specific local demographic 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 — 93 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,944 at the 2021 Census → 4,596 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.
