Sales Detail
Woombye has an estimated 4,601 residents, up from 3,944 at the 2021 Census — a change of 657 people, or 16.7%. 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 341 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 the analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region and new address data validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Woombye has an estimated population of 4,601 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 657 people (16.7%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 3,944 residents. The estimate relies on a resident population of 4,531 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 99 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 340 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and potential for future expansion.
The suburb of Woombye recorded a growth rate of 16.7% since the 2021 Census, outperforming the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the national benchmark to become a regional leader in growth. This expansion was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 62.0% of the overall population gains, though other components like overseas migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories where this data is unavailable, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are utilized. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates age cohort growth proportionally based on the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the suburb of Woombye is expected to see population growth placing it in the top quartile of non-metropolitan areas across the nation, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating a rise of 1,214 residents by 2041, which translates to a total increase of 24.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
176 new dwellings have been approved in Woombye over the past five years, an average of 35 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 67% 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas shows that the suburb of Woombye has averaged about 35 approved dwellings each year, amounting to a total of 176 new homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 21 approvals have been registered. With an average of 3.9 new residents per built dwelling arriving annually between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is outstripping supply, creating upward pressure on prices and escalating buyer competition, while new homes average a construction value of $409,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $3.7 million have been registered during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality.
In comparison to Rest of Qld, development activity in the suburb of Woombye is slightly elevated, running at 23.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period, which helps balance buyer options while supporting existing home values, even though building rates have slowed recently. Houses built recently consist of 67.0% detached residences and 33.0% townhouses or multi-unit dwellings, showcasing a rising proportion of attached configurations to provide options across different price points, ranging from large family residences to compact layouts. This represents a clear departure from the current housing stock, which is 86.0% detached houses, pointing to a declining volume of vacant land alongside shifting lifestyles and a need for varied, affordable housing. With 219 people for every dwelling approval, the suburb of Woombye exhibits a growing market. Future forecasts indicate that the suburb of Woombye will gain 1,144 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Construction is proceeding at a rate that aligns reasonably with this anticipated growth, though property seekers may face heightened competition as the population expands.

2,399 residents of Woombye are employed, from a labour force of 2,536. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 68.4%. 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 5,021, 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
The suburb of Woombye features a skilled labor pool with strong representation in core service industries, and an unemployment rate of 5.4% according to AreaSearch estimates compiled from statistical areas. As of March 2026, there are 2,399 residents employed, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.5% higher than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, while workforce participation is standard at 68.4% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a moderate 13.9% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The local workforce has a notable concentration in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.2 times the rate seen regionally. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, employing only 2.2% of workers in the suburb of Woombye compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. A ratio of 0.7 jobs for every resident recorded at the Census points to a higher-than-average volume of local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS data aggregated from statistical regions, the local labor force contracted by 1.1% and total employment fell by 2.3% during the year ending March 2026, leading to a 1.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% and the labor force grow by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point uptick. National employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context for future demand in the suburb of Woombye. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to project future trends. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Applying these national sector trends to the local industry mix suggests employment in the suburb of Woombye could rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighting extrapolation for illustration that 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 — 99 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,944 at the 2021 Census → 4,601 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.
