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.

Growth has averaged 12.0% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 2,943 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Detail
Data evaluated by AreaSearch indicates that the resident count for Greenbank - North Maclean stands at approximately 13,653 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 6,016 people (78.8%) from the 7,637 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 12,691 along with 2,943 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 187 persons per square kilometer, which offers ample space per resident and opportunities for subsequent expansion. The growth rate of 78.8% since the 2021 census outpaced the national average (9.3%) as well as state figures, positioning the locality as a leader in regional growth.
The expansion was chiefly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 85.1% of the population rise in recent times, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2. For areas lacking this coverage and for years beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are substituted. Since these state-level projections do not segment by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age groups based on the proportional weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections which use 2022 baseline data. Looking ahead, the region is set to experience rapid expansion that ranks in the top 10 percent of all statistical areas nationwide, with projections indicating an increase of 7,493 persons to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, translating to a total expansion of 47.8% over the 16 years.

5,893 residents of Greenbank - North Maclean are employed, from a labour force of 6,152. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 62.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 11,901, about 87% 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 labor market in Greenbank - North Maclean features a balanced mix of professional and manual roles, with a notable concentration of workers in the construction industry, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.2%. As of March 2026, employed residents number 5,893, which keeps the local unemployment rate 0.1% lower than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, while the workforce participation rate of 62.4% is considerably lower than the 70.4% recorded across Greater Brisbane. Data from the Census indicates that a modest 15.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary employers of local residents are the construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade sectors. The area is highly specialized in construction jobs, employing people at a rate 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.8% of the local workforce, compared to 8.9% in Greater Brisbane. Comparing the size of the local working population to the resident population suggests that this predominantly residential district provides few local job openings. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.7% and total employment fell by 4.1%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 1.4 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane saw employment rise by 3.2%, the labor force grow by 3.4%, and unemployment tick up by 0.1 percentage points. Future employment trends in Greenbank - North Maclean can be analyzed using the May-25 national employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year national projections have been weighted against the local occupational distribution to estimate future employment movements. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary widely by industry. Applying these sectoral trends to the local industry mix suggests that employment for residents of Greenbank - North Maclean could grow by 6.0% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighting model for illustration that excludes local population forecasts.

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 — 2,943 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,637 at the 2021 Census → 13,653 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.
