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
Based on calculations by AreaSearch, the population of Mount Pleasant - Glenella is estimated at 12,165 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 607 people (5.3%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 11,558 residents. This shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 12,060 in June 2025 and 129 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The region has a density of 216 persons per square kilometer, which translates to a low-density setting with capacity for future expansion. Over the last ten years, Mount Pleasant - Glenella has shown stable expansion with a 1.0% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the wider SA3 area.
The population expansion was mostly driven by overseas migration, which made up approximately 61.3% of the total demographic gains in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data and for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are applied. These state-level figures do not break down age cohorts; therefore, AreaSearch applies weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data) for age group distributions. Looking forward, the population growth is projected to exceed the median for non-metropolitan Australia, with the local population expected to grow by 2,344 individuals by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing an overall increase of 18.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
216 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Pleasant - Glenella over the past five years, an average of 43 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Mount Pleasant - Glenella has recorded approximately 43 dwelling approvals annually, representing 216 new homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 51 approvals have been registered. The construction of each new dwelling coincided with an average population increase of 2.5 people per year between FY-21 and FY-25, showing steady demand that is supportive of residential values. The average construction cost of these new properties stands at $404,000. In addition, commercial approvals have reached $14.3 million in the current financial year, showing a moderate rate of commercial investment.
Relative to the Rest of Qld, the volume of development per capita in Mount Pleasant - Glenella is comparable, keeping the market balanced with adjacent areas, even though construction momentum has slowed recently. The mix of new residential buildings consists of 97.0% standalone houses and 3.0% townhouses or apartments, which reinforces the low-density landscape and indicates a focus on detached properties popular with buyers looking for land. The metric of 444 people per single residential approval highlights the calm, low-velocity building environment of the area. Projections indicate that Mount Pleasant - Glenella will add 2,239 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, the creation of new housing may lag behind population increases, which could intensify buyer competition and drive upward pressure on 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 71.1%. 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 10,712, 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
A high proportion of workers in Mount Pleasant - Glenella are skilled, with notable numbers in industrial and manufacturing jobs. The unemployment rate is low at 1.7%, and employment expanded by an estimated 5.1% over the prior year. In March 2026, the employed resident count reached 6,831, while the jobless rate was 2.2% lower than the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor force participation is high at 71.1%, compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that only 6.8% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, mining, and education & training. The local workforce has a heavy concentration in mining, with representation levels 3.4 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.4% of employment, which is lower than the 4.5% average for Regional Qld. Comparing the local working population from the Census against the total resident workforce suggests that local job opportunities within the immediate boundary are relatively scarce. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the latest 12-month window experienced a 5.1% rise in employment alongside a 5.8% expansion in the labor force, which led to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This differs from Regional Qld, where employment grew by 0.1%, the labor force increased by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 give context on prospective worker demand in Mount Pleasant - Glenella. These five-year and ten-year national outlooks have been aligned with the local industry profile to model potential employment shifts. Nationally, jobs are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors vary widely. Projecting these trends onto the industry distribution of Mount Pleasant - Glenella indicates a local job growth of 6.1% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted projection based on industry composition rather than local population changes.

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 — 129 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,558 at the 2021 Census → 12,165 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 (312021348). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
