Mango Hill

Mango Hill lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

AreaSearch's analysis shows Mango Hill's population was approximately 17,840 as of November 2025. This figure represents an increase of 2,919 people, a 19.6% rise from the 2021 Census count of 14,921. The change is inferred from ABS's estimated resident population of 17,546 in June 2024 and an additional 498 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density of 1,161 persons per square kilometer, similar to averages across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Mango Hill's growth rate exceeded the national average (8.9%) and its SA4 region, making it a growth leader. Interstate migration contributed approximately 52.6% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth being positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are used, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort, released in 2023 using 2022 data as the base year. Looking ahead, exceptional population growth is predicted over the period to 2041, with Mango Hill expected to grow by 8,582 persons, reflecting a total gain of 46.5% based on the latest annual ERP population numbers.

The level of residential development activity in Mango Hill was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

Mango Hill has approved approximately 239 new homes annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, it approved a total of 1,199 homes, with an additional 21 approved in FY-26 so far. Each dwelling built over these years attracted an average of 3.6 people to the area.

This significant demand has outpaced supply, potentially leading to heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures. The average construction cost for new properties is $313,000. In FY-26, Mango Hill recorded $3.6 million in commercial development approvals, reflecting its primarily residential nature. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Mango Hill has seen 116.0% more development activity per person. However, recent periods have shown a moderation in development activity. New building activity consists of 25.0% detached houses and 75.0% attached dwellings, indicating a shift towards denser development that caters to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers. This trend differs from the area's current housing composition, which is 70.0% houses.

Mango Hill has approximately 93 people per dwelling approval, suggesting an expanding market. By 2041, it is forecasted to gain 8,288 residents. With current construction levels, housing supply should meet demand adequately, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
