Suburb profile

Toogoolawah is a major regional centre in Queensland, in Somerset Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include St Andrew's Church, St Andrew's Church Hall and McConnell Park & Toogoolawah War Memorial.

Dining and café access is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for major regional centres. Open-space access is better than in most comparable places. Working from home is a strong feature of the suburb, with working from home 41% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. Trade-offs centre on limited school access and lower socio-economic advantage, with school access 67% below the peer median.

Overall, Toogoolawah suits people prioritising open space and dining over school access.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~1,300), extrapolated at +0.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)
2/10

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
