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.

Detail
Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Mackay Harbour's population is around 670 as of Nov 25. This reflects an increase of 55 people (8.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 615 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 670 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 102 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 65 persons per square kilometer, a level providing ample space per person. Mackay Harbour's 8.9% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (6.6%), along with the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region.
Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 66.7% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Looking at population projections moving forward, exceptional growth, placing in the top 10 percent of regional areas across the nation, is predicted over the period with the area expected to expand by 352 persons to 2041 based on the latest population numbers, with an increase of 52.2% in total over the 17 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
44 new dwellings have been approved in Mackay Harbour over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
Mackay Harbour has recorded around 8 residential properties granted approval annually, with 44 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 5 so far in FY-26. With an average of 1.8 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply and demand appear well-balanced, creating stable market conditions, though recent data shows this has moderated to 1.3 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, suggesting improved supply-demand balance. New properties are constructed at an average value of $709,000, revealing that developers are targeting the premium market segment with higher-end properties.
Additionally, $17.3 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, indicating steady commercial investment activity. Compared to Rest of Qld, Mackay Harbour has 277.0% more building activity (per person). offering buyers greater choice. This activity is substantially higher than nationally, suggesting strong developer confidence in the location. Further, recent building activity consists entirely of detached dwellings, maintaining the area's traditional low density character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. Interestingly, developers are building more traditional houses than the current mix suggests (8.0% at Census), indicating continued strong demand for family homes despite density pressures.The location has approximately 52 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. Population forecasts indicate Mackay Harbour will gain 350 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.

Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Mackay Harbour has a skilled workforce, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of just 1.5%, and 0.8% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of June 2025, 403 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.5% below Rest of Qld's rate of 3.9%, and workforce participation is on par with Rest of Qld's 59.1%.

The area has particular employment specialization in mining, with an employment share of 4.2 times the regional level.
Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing shows lower representation at 1.0% versus the regional average of 4.5%. With 1.3 workers for every resident, as at the Census, the area functions as an employment hub, hosting more jobs than residents and attracting workers from surrounding areas. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, during the year to June 2025, employment levels increased by 0.8% and labour force decreased by 0.2%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 1.0 percentage points. In contrast, Rest of Qld experienced employment growth of 1.8% and labour force growth of 2.0%, with a 0.2 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May 2025 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Mackay Harbour. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Mackay Harbour's employment mix suggests local growth of approximately increase by 6.2%% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 2024 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 102 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Nov 2025, not a 2021 count (615 at the 2021 Census → 670 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 Nov 2025. 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 2022, 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.
