Logan Village
Population here grew 47.1% over the decade, one of the fastest expansions in this dataset, yet the suburb still sells houses at a $573,000 median and skews older at age 42, two years above national. The growth is overwhelmingly detached: 93.9% of dwellings are separate houses and 60.4% carry four or more bedrooms, against just 0.5% apartments. Net internal migration of 235 people a year is the primary driver, and the gentrification stage reads Active despite university qualifications sitting at 16.3%, which is 13.8 points below the national figure. The result is an affordable, car-dependent acreage belt absorbing families faster than it is changing character.

At a $573,000 median house price, Logan Village sits well below capital-city medians, and the stock is built for families rather than first-home buyers chasing a unit. Separate houses make up 93.9% of dwellings and 60.4% have four or more bedrooms, so a typical purchase here is a large house on a sizeable block, reflected in the suburb's low 134.9 residents per square kilometre. Monthly mortgage repayments average $2,058, producing a mortgage-to-income ratio of 23.2%, comfortably under the 30% stress threshold because household income reaches the 76.7th percentile nationally. Owners dominate: 54.2% carry a mortgage and 34.4% own outright, leaving only 11.4% renting. That ownership weight, combined with affordable entry, makes this an upgrader and family market more than an investor or downsizer one.

That ownership weight, combined with affordable entry, makes this an upgrader and family market more than an investor or downsizer one.
For Investors
The investment case here is thin on the rental side and stronger on growth. Only 11.4% of residents rent, the smallest tenure class by far, so the tenant pool is shallow compared with established rental suburbs. Weekly rent of $455 against the $573,000 median implies a gross yield near 4.1%, healthier than premium markets but built on limited stock. The 4.1% vacancy rate is loose rather than tight, signalling no acute shortage. What supports the case is volume and demand: 205 development applications were lodged in 12 months and net internal migration adds 235 residents a year, the suburb's primary growth driver. With forecast population rising from 9,963 to 11,174 by 2031, the play is capital growth and new-build supply rather than yield compression in a deep rental market.

Demographics
The median age of 42 runs 2.0 years above national, and the trajectory is aging: the senior share rose 7.0 points while the working-age share fell 4.3 points over the decade. The population is more Australian-born than typical, with 19.5% born overseas, which is 2.1 points below the national figure. Ancestry is strongly Anglo-Celtic, led by English (2,287), Scottish (570) and Irish (539), and non-English languages are minimal, with Khmer (13) and Urdu (11) the only notable ones. University qualifications at 16.3% sit 13.8 points below national, consistent with a trades and services workforce rather than a professional one. Average household size is 3.0, which is 0.5 above national, matching the large four-bedroom homes and the 1,923 couple-with-children families that outnumber the 1,252 childless couples.

Tenure
Tenure here leans heavily toward ownership: 54.2% carry a mortgage, 34.4% own outright and just 11.4% rent. That mortgage-heavy split, rather than an outright-owner majority, points to a younger buying cohort still paying down recently acquired family homes. The stock is 93.9% separate houses with apartments at only 0.5%, and 60.4% of dwellings have four or more bedrooms against 25.6% with three, so supply is firmly oriented to larger households. The $573,000 median is affordable relative to capital cities, and mortgage-to-income at 23.2% stays under the 30% stress line because household income reaches the 76.7th percentile. Rent-to-income at 22.2% is similarly comfortable. Rent grew 27.0% over the period, the steeper of the two cost lines, reflecting demand pressure on the small rental segment.

Economy & Employment
The workforce is concentrated in hands-on sectors: Construction leads at 19.3% (287 workers), Healthcare follows at 16.4% (243) and Education at 10.5% (156), with Manufacturing at 8.1% and Retail at 6.1%. By occupation, Clerical and Administrative roles (364) and Professionals (343) top the list, ahead of Labourers (263) and Managers (257), a trades-and-services mix that explains why university qualifications sit 13.8 points below national. Unemployment is moderate at 5.5% and the full-time employment rate is 66.8%, though participation reads 55.7%, held down by the aging profile and 1,460 residents not in the labour force. SEIFA tells a split story: the IER economic-resources score is decile 10 because high home ownership and incomes lift household wealth, yet the IEO education-and-occupation score is only decile 3, the trade-off of a non-professional but financially comfortable population.

Transport to Work
This is a heavily car-dependent acreage suburb: 92.4% of residents drive to work, just 1.0% use public transport and 1.4% walk or cycle, well below urban norms and a function of the low 134.9 residents per square kilometre across a 39.41 square kilometre footprint. The suburb scores decile 6 on the IRSD index of relative disadvantage and decile 5 on IRSAD, both mid-range, with the higher IER decile of 10 reflecting strong household economic resources. Detailed crime statistics are not available in this dataset. No schools are recorded inside the boundary, so families rely on institutions in neighbouring areas, a common trade-off for a low-density rural-residential belt. Volunteering runs at 12.5% and 6.9% of residents (346 people) need daily assistance, consistent with the older median age of 42.

EstablishedLogan Village is a fast-growing established suburb: annual population growth runs 2.43%, adding about 242 people a year, and the 10-year change reached 47.1%. The population climbed from 9,314 in 2023 to 9,963 in 2025, and medium forecasts continue the trend to 11,174 by 2031, an expansion of roughly 12% over six years. Net internal migration of 235 a year is the primary driver, far outweighing overseas migration of 36, so growth is fed by Australians relocating from elsewhere rather than new arrivals. The gentrification stage reads Active with a score of 40, with signals noting internal migration and an accelerating advantaged share rising from 20% to 38%. Affordability held stable at 60.6% in 2021 versus 60.8% in 2011, so the suburb is growing without pricing itself out yet.

How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state Valuer-General (house prices), Department of Jobs SALM (unemployment), ACARA (school ICSEA), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
