Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of Moreton Bay Region. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for Moreton Bay Region. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

However, the settlement was relocated to Brisbane in 1825. Land was taken up in the 1840s, being used mainly for timber-getting and farming. Population was minimal until the 1860s, when grazing and farming were established (including sugar cane and cotton growing). Growth took place in the 1880s and 1890s, spurred by the opening of the railway line from Brisbane in 1888. Expansion continued during the 1930s. Significant development occurred during the post-war years, particularly from the 1960s. Rapid growth took place during the 1970s and 1980s. The population increased substantially from the early 1990s, rising from about 206,000 in 1991 to about 373,000 in 2011.
