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.

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 the assessment by AreaSearch, the population of Manly - Lota stands at approximately 8,434 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 544 people (6.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 7,890 people. This change is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 8,319 as of June 2025 alongside 78 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 2,008 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical average of locations evaluated nationally by AreaSearch. The 6.9% post-census growth rate for Manly - Lota is within 0.2 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (7.1%), showing comparable expansion trends.
The primary driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 82.7% of all population increases during the recent timeframe. AreaSearch utilizes the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 areas lack coverage in this dataset, or for projections extending past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections, published in 2023 utilizing 2021 data, are used instead. Because the state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) for each age group. Looking at future demographic shifts, population expansion is projected to run slightly below the median of areas assessed by AreaSearch, with the locality expected to add 422 persons by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 3.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
206 new dwellings have been approved in Manly - Lota over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 5.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 57% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Development approvals in Manly - Lota run at approximately 41 dwellings annually, with 206 residences approved during the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 229 approved during FY-26 to date. An average intake of 1.4 people per year for each built dwelling over the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to balanced supply and demand dynamics and stable market conditions, though this has risen to 4 people per dwelling over the prior 2 financial years, suggesting heightened demand and possible undersupply. The average construction value of these developments is $645,000, indicating that developers are targeting the premium, high-end sector.
Furthermore, the recording of $8.9 million in commercial development approvals during this financial year highlights the predominantly residential focus of the locality. Manly - Lota registers a slightly higher volume of development compared to Greater Brisbane, tracking 17.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period, which helps preserve buyer options while protecting current real estate values, despite a recent slowdown in building activity. Recent construction approvals consist of 57.0% detached houses and 43.0% attached dwellings, with a shifting distribution of townhouses and apartments offering choices across different price brackets, spanning from family residences to compact homes. This represents a notable departure from the existing housing stock (which stands at 77.0% houses), driven by a scarcity of development sites and changing consumer lifestyles and affordability pressures. With roughly 291 people per approval, Manly - Lota displays the characteristics of a transitioning market. Projections indicate that Manly - Lota will gain 307 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Considering ongoing construction trends, new dwelling additions are anticipated to satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population increases that outpace current expectations.

4,857 residents of Manly - Lota are employed, from a labour force of 4,990. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 71.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,038, about 83% 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 workforce in Manly - Lota is highly educated, featuring a strong concentration of professional services, an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.8% over the prior year. Working residents total 4,857 as of March 2026, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.7% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, while participation in the labor force matches the Greater Brisbane level of 70.4% closely. Census records show that a high proportion of residents, 26.3%, worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and professional & technical. However, the health care & social assistance sector has a smaller footprint locally, employing 13.3% of workers compared to 16.1% across the region. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests this highly residential community offers sparse local employment options. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that employment grew by 3.8% over the 12-month period, while the labor force expanded by 4.1%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Brisbane experienced a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be evaluated using national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the workforce profile of Manly - Lota indicates that local employment would grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this is a direct weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for 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 — 78 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,890 at the 2021 Census → 8,434 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (301031015). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
