Mango Hill
Statistical Area - sa2

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 indicates Mango Hill's population was around 17,840 as of Nov 2025. This figure reflects an increase of 2,919 people (19.6%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population 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 density ratio of 1,161 persons per square kilometer, similar to averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Mango Hill's growth of 19.6% since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (8.9%) and that of its SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the area. Population growth was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 52.6% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth were positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are adopted, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort, released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking ahead, exceptional growth is predicted over the period, placing Mango Hill in the top 10 percent of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch. The area is expected to grow by 8,582 persons to 2041 based on the latest population numbers, recording a gain of 46.5% in total over the 17 years.

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 seen approximately 239 new homes approved annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, around 1,199 homes were approved, with an additional 11 approved in FY-26 so far. On average, about 3.6 people moved to the area each year for every dwelling built during this period.

This indicates that supply has been lagging behind demand, potentially leading to increased buyer competition and pricing pressures. New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $313,000. In FY-26, $3.6 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded, reflecting the area's predominantly residential nature. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Mango Hill has seen 116.0% more development activity per person, which could provide buyers with ample choice. However, development activity has moderated in recent periods. The new building activity consists of 25.0% detached houses and 75.0% attached dwellings. This shift towards denser development offers accessible entry options, appealing to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers.

This is a notable change from the area's existing housing stock, which is currently 70.0% houses. This trend may indicate decreasing availability of developable sites and reflects changing lifestyles and the need for more diverse, affordable housing options. Mango Hill has approximately 93 people per dwelling approval, suggesting an expanding market. Population forecasts indicate that Mango Hill will gain around 8,288 residents by 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should meet demand adequately, creating favorable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
