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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the local community in Mount Pleasant - Glenella stands at approximately 12,184 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 11,558 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 626 people (5.4%). Such growth is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,060 alongside 137 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a population density of 216 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial personal space with capacity for future expansion. Over the preceding ten years, Mount Pleasant - Glenella exhibited stable expansion via a 1.0% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3 area.
The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion has been overseas migration, accounting for roughly 61.3% of total population additions in recent times. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models for each SA2 area, published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 locations lack this coverage, or across periods beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 area projections released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are implemented. Because these state forecasts omit age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth adjustments corresponding to the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) across every age bracket. Looking forward, demographic forecasts indicate higher-than-median expansion relative to non-capital regions, with the locality projected to expand by 2,321 persons to 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, representing a cumulative rise of 18.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
203 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Pleasant - Glenella over the past five years, an average of 40 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building consents across Mount Pleasant - Glenella have averaged roughly 40 homes each year, amounting to 203 homes over the previous 5 financial years. With an average influx of 2.7 new residents per year per dwelling across the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), underlying buyer interest appears solid and underpins local real estate values, where newly constructed properties show an average construction cost of $609,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $14.3 million during this financial year, demonstrating ongoing non-residential development. Per-capita building activity in Mount Pleasant - Glenella tracks closely with Rest of Qld, preserving balanced market dynamics relative to surrounding regions, even with an acceleration in recent construction volumes.
Development remains below the national benchmark, reflecting an established suburban footprint and possible town planning constraints. Detached houses constitute 98.0% of recent residential building permits against 2.0% for medium and high-density housing, reinforcing the low-density landscape and continuing to draw buyers pursuing standalone homes. Registering approximately 249 people per approval, the district is characterised by low-density development patterns. Anticipated demographic shifts suggest an additional 2,197 residents will arrive in Mount Pleasant - Glenella through to 2041 (benchmarked against the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should residential construction continue at current paces, housing completions could lag behind population increases, potentially tightening buyer competition and placing upward pressure on local real estate prices.

6,831 residents of Mount Pleasant - Glenella are employed, from a labour force of 6,951. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 70.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,734, about 88% 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 local labour pool in Mount Pleasant - Glenella is well qualified, featuring prominent industrial and manufacturing employment, an unemployment rate of only 1.7%, and an estimated 5.1% rise in employed residents over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 6,831 residents are actively working, keeping the local unemployment rate 2.2% under the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, while labour force engagement stands exceptionally high at 70.9% versus 64.2% in Regional Qld. Census records show that only 6.8% of workers performed their duties from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions should be considered.
The primary employment fields for residents are health care & social assistance, mining, together with education & training. Mining represents a particularly pronounced local specialization, employing residents at 3.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a minor 1.4% of jobs locally against 4.5% regionally. Comparing the Census count of locally situated jobs to the resident workforce suggests that local employment capacity is relatively constrained within the immediate boundaries. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS figures indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, resident employment expanded by 5.1% while the labour pool expanded by 5.8%, resulting in an unemployment rate uptick of 0.7 percentage points. Across the same timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% alongside labour force expansion of 0.3%, producing a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Looking to broader trajectories, national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements in Mount Pleasant - Glenella. These five- and ten-year models have been cross-referenced with the local industrial profile. While total Australian employment is forecast to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations remain substantial. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against Mount Pleasant - Glenella's existing workforce breakdown projects local job expansion of 6.1% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (note that this represents a proportional extrapolation for context and excludes local demographic 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 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 137 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,558 at the 2021 Census → 12,184 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 Aug 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 (312021348). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
