Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Mount Gravatt has an estimated 17,224 residents, up from 15,873 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,351 people, or 8.5%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 184 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 67.1% of that increase. That puts 2,340 residents on each square kilometre. 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 analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Mount Gravatt stands at approximately 17,224 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,351 individuals (8.5%) from the 15,873 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 17,149 combined with 184 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,340 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of all Australian territories analyzed by AreaSearch. The post-census growth rate of 8.5% is within 0.8 percentage points of the 9.3% national benchmark, indicating healthy growth dynamics.

This upward trajectory was chiefly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 67.1% of the total population increase in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates population projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories excluded from this dataset, or for periods extending past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 baseline data) are applied instead. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking forward, the area is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median, expanding by 3,129 residents by 2041 when measured against the most recent annual ERP figures, which translates to a total increase of 17.7% over the 16-year timeframe.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Mount Gravatt

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

485 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Gravatt over the past five years, an average of 97 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 77 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 47% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 58, well below 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

Mount Gravatt averages approximately 97 residential development approvals annually, with a total of 485 residential units approved throughout the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and an additional 54 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the region attracted an average of 2.1 new occupants for every newly constructed dwelling, pointing to steady demand that underpins local property values, with new residential projects averaging a construction cost of $376,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $20.4 million during the current financial year, representing a moderate rate of commercial investment.

When contrasted with Greater Brisbane, Mount Gravatt displays comparable per-capita construction volumes, keeping the local market in a state of balance aligned with neighboring districts. Of the housing constructed recently, standalone houses represent 47.0% while townhouses or apartments make up the remaining 53.0%. This emphasis on higher-density residential options provides more accessible price points for buyers and caters well to downsizers, real estate investors, and those entering the property market for the first time. This pattern marks a clear departure from the current residential mix (where standalone houses comprise 67.0% of dwellings), indicating a dwindling supply of vacant land for development alongside changing lifestyle preferences and a requirement for more varied, economical housing types. The area registers roughly 270 residents for every residential approval, suggesting there is capacity for further expansion. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Mount Gravatt is projected to add 3,054 residents by 2041. While residential construction is keeping reasonable pace with this projected population expansion, home buyers may encounter heightened market competition as the local population grows.

The suburb displays an especially high concentration of workers in the education & training sector, which employs staff at 1.3 times the average rate seen across the wider region. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 4.3% of the local workforce, trailing the Greater Brisbane average of 6.4%. Comparing the Census count of local jobs against the resident workforce suggests this heavily residential area offers limited local employment opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month period, local employment grew by 5.5% while the total labor force expanded by 4.9%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.2% and labor force growth of 3.4%, with its unemployment rate rising by 0.1 percentage points. Additional context regarding future employment trends in Mount Gravatt can be drawn from the national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local industry profile to estimate future employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth trajectories vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-specific national trends onto the local employment composition suggests Mount Gravatt's workforce could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, noting that this calculation is a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison and does not integrate 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 — 184 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,873 at the 2021 Census → 17,224 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 (303031063). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Mount Gravatt SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Mount Gravatt page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Mount Gravatt data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Oct 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
