This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
East Mackay has an estimated 3,856 residents, up from 3,756 at the 2021 Census — a change of 100 people, or 2.7%. That puts 835 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of East Mackay stands at approximately 3,856 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 100 individuals (2.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,756 residents. This shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 3,820 from June 2025 alongside 19 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 834 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with standard rates across various locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The primary driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 70.1% of the total demographic gains in recent times.
Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings across age groups using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections with a 2022 baseline. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, population growth is projected to land slightly underneath the median rate for regional Australian locations, with an expected increase of 230 people by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing an overall expansion of 5.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
42 new dwellings have been approved in East Mackay over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential approvals in East Mackay average approximately 8 per year, amounting to a total of 42 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 17 building approvals have been logged. Supply and demand show balanced conditions with 1.4 residents moving to the locality for every completed home during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, though recent figures indicate moderation to -0.1 people per home over the last 2 financial years, pointing toward a more balanced market. The average construction value for new dwellings is $339,000, matching regional averages.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $9.5 million have been registered in the current financial year, indicating a moderate amount of commercial building activity. Building activity per capita in East Mackay is approximately 60% of the level recorded in the Rest of Qld, placing the locality in the 57th percentile of all areas analyzed nationwide, despite a recent rise in local development. This rate sits below the national average, suggesting a mature market or potential geographical constraints on construction. Newly approved projects consist of 38.0% standalone houses and 62.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This focus on higher-density housing offers affordable entry points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock, where detached houses make up 73.0% of properties, indicating a decline in vacant developable land alongside changing consumer preferences for varied housing types. The ratio of 563 residents per dwelling approval highlights a quiet, low-density development landscape. Looking forward, East Mackay is projected to expand by 194 inhabitants by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Considering current construction trends, incoming housing supply is poised to satisfy local demand, providing favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population expansion beyond current forecasts.

Great Barrier Reef Arena Redevelopment
Stage 1 of the project will include a new covered grandstand, elite player, match official and broadcast facilities and an expanded capacity for more than 10,000 people.
2,095 residents of East Mackay are employed, from a labour force of 2,157. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 68.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,102, about 80% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 local workforce in East Mackay is characterized by skilled labor, with a strong presence in industrial and manufacturing sectors, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and a 4.3% rise in estimated employment over the previous year. As of March 2026, working residents total 2,095, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.0% lower than the Regional Qld average of 3.9%, and labor force participation matching standard expectations at 68.3% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a low 4.8% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and mining. Mining representation is particularly prominent, employing residents at 2.5 times the average regional rate. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing shows minimal presence, employing 0.7% of residents compared to the regional average of 4.5%. Local job availability appears constrained, as shown by comparing the count of the Census working population against the resident population. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month period, local employment grew by 4.3% while the labor force expanded by 5.7%, leading to a 1.3 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1%, labor force expansion of 0.3%, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate prospective demand within East Mackay. These projections, spanning five and ten years, are aligned with local employment configurations to project future job growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure suggests that employment in East Mackay will grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, using a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes without factoring in localized population changes.

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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,756 at the 2021 Census → 3,856 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.
