Loganholme
A $484,000 median house price paired with a median age of 34, six years below the national figure, defines Loganholme as a working-family market rather than a retirement one. Household income sits in the 66.6th percentile nationally, and the suburb scores decile 4 on IRSAD and decile 5 on IRSD, placing it in the middle band of relative advantage. The housing stock is overwhelmingly detached at 92.8% separate houses, with 47.4% of dwellings carrying four or more bedrooms, well above what apartment-heavy suburbs offer. University qualifications reach only 19.4%, which is 10.7 points below national, consistent with a trades and services workforce led by Healthcare and Construction.

At a $484,000 median house price, Loganholme remains accessible by South East Queensland standards, and the affordability shows in the mortgage math: average monthly repayments of $1,668 produce a mortgage-to-income ratio of just 20.9%, comfortably below the 30% stress threshold. The stock suits families because 92.8% are separate houses and 47.4% carry four or more bedrooms, while two-bedroom dwellings make up only 4.9%. That bedroom profile is why buyers seeking a smaller footprint find slim pickings here. Tenure leans toward recent buyers, with 48.3% holding a mortgage against 21.9% owning outright, more than double the mortgage-to-outright ratio of an established, debt-free suburb. The four-plus-bedroom dominance also signals that upgraders, not first-home downsizers, set the local price floor.

For Investors
Renters make up 29.7% of households and weekly rent averages $395, which against the $484,000 median implies a gross yield near 4.2%, far stronger than premium inner-city markets that struggle to clear 2%. The vacancy rate of 5.7% is the main caution, higher than a tight rental market, so tenant turnover and re-letting periods need budgeting. Demand support is balanced rather than explosive: net overseas migration adds 77 residents a year and net internal migration 52, both modest but positive. Development is busy, with 370 applications lodged in 12 months including townhouse projects, so new supply could pressure the 5.7% vacancy further. Rent grew 14.7% over the measured period, and with a yield above 4%, the investment case rests on cashflow more than rapid capital growth.

Demographics
The median age of 34 runs six years below the national figure, and the household profile backs it up: average household size is 2.9, which is 0.4 above national, and couples with children number 2,544 against 1,220 couples without. Overseas-born residents reach 24.0%, just 2.4 points above national, so the suburb is only marginally more international than the country as a whole. Ancestry is Anglo-leaning, led by English (2,672), Scottish (678) and Irish (605), and the largest non-English languages, Mandarin (18), Afrikaans (14) and Samoan (14), are spoken by tiny numbers. University qualifications at 19.4% sit 10.7 points below national, a gap that reflects the trades-heavy local economy rather than disadvantage, since incomes still reach the 66.6th percentile.

Tenure
Tenure tilts toward active borrowers: 48.3% carry a mortgage, 29.7% rent and only 21.9% own outright, a mix that points to a younger buyer base still paying down loans rather than long-held wealth. The stock is 92.8% separate houses with apartments at just 1.8%, so detached living defines the market. Bedroom counts skew large, with 47.4% of dwellings at four-plus bedrooms and 46.5% at three, leaving two-bedroom homes at 4.9%. The $484,000 median house price keeps both mortgage-to-income (20.9%) and rent-to-income (21.5%) below the 30% stress line, a rare double given how many households carry debt. That affordability, combined with the four-bedroom dominance, is why the suburb draws growing families more than singles or downsizers.

Economy & Employment
The workforce concentrates in hands-on and service sectors: Healthcare leads at 17.0% (356 workers), Construction follows at 16.6% (348), then Education at 10.2%, Retail at 8.5% and Manufacturing at 7.6%. By occupation, Professionals (495) and Clerical/Admin (494) edge out Labourers (386) and Community/Personal workers (376), a spread typical of a suburb without a single dominant white-collar employer. Unemployment is 5.6% and the participation rate is 61.1%, with full-time work at 65.9%. The SEIFA picture is mixed: IER (economic resources) sits at decile 7, well above the IEO education-and-occupation score of decile 4, because solid household incomes and affordable housing lift the resources index even where formal qualifications, at 19.4% university, run below national.

Transport to Work
Daily life here runs on the car: 90.4% of commuters drive, while public transport carries just 2.5% and walking or cycling 1.1%, far below the share in transit-rich inner suburbs. The suburb scores decile 4 on IRSAD and decile 5 on IRSD, mid-range nationally, indicating a settled working community with limited deep disadvantage, and only 5.7% of residents (371 people) need daily assistance. Both rent-to-income (21.5%) and mortgage-to-income (20.9%) stay below the 30% stress threshold, so housing costs leave room in household budgets. No schools are recorded inside the 8.82 km2 boundary in this dataset, so families rely on schools in neighbouring suburbs, a common trade-off for an outer-metro area where land is plentiful and density is low at 767 residents per km2.

EstablishedLoganholme is growing steadily rather than explosively: annual population growth is 0.92%, adding about 117 people a year, and the population rose 8.0% over the past decade. Medium forecasts lift the count from 12,626 in 2026 to 13,212 by 2031, a continuation of the established trend rather than a boom. Migration is balanced, with net overseas inflow of 77 a year and net internal inflow of 52, so growth leans slightly on overseas arrivals. The gentrification reading shows early signs (score 26), driven by population up 14% since 2011 and an acceleration from 4% to 10% growth, yet real income grew just 1.1% over the period. Affordability improved from 51.2% in 2011 to 47.2% in 2021, easing the cost burden even as the suburb expands.

What schools are in Loganholme?

As an indirect indicator, the suburb scores decile 5 on the IRSD index of relative disadvantage, a mid-range result, and only 5.7% of its residents (371 people) need daily assistance, both consistent with a settled working community.
Is Loganholme good for property investment?
Rent of $395 a week against a $484,000 median gives a gross yield near 4.2%, far above premium inner-city markets under 2%. The 5.7% vacancy rate is the main caution, and balanced migration of 77 overseas plus 52 internal a year supports steady rather than rapid demand.
How is Loganholme's population changing?
Population growth is 0.92% a year, about 117 people, with an 8.0% rise over the past decade. Medium forecasts lift the count to 13,212 by 2031. Growth leans on balanced migration of 77 overseas and 52 internal residents annually, with early gentrification signs scoring 26.
How much development is happening in Loganholme?
There were 370 development applications lodged in the past 12 months, a high figure that includes townhouse projects alongside dwelling repairs and roof works. That activity could add to the 5.7% vacancy rate, and it sits above the pace of a static, established suburb.
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.
