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.

Sales Detail
Mount Warren Park has an estimated 5,964 residents, up from 5,736 at the 2021 Census — a change of 228 people, or 4.0%. That puts 1,413 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count for Mount Warren Park stands at roughly 5,964 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 228 people (4.0%) relative to the 5,736 people enumerated at the 2021 Census. Such adjustments are derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,964 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 17 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density reaches 1,413 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national baseline assessed by AreaSearch. Inbound international migration served as the principal driver of local demographic growth, accounting for roughly 58.7% of total net population increases over recent times.
Projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, utilising 2022 as their benchmark year, form the basis of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. For timeframes extending beyond 2032 or for locations omitted from that release, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2023 (benchmarked to 2021) are incorporated instead. Because state-level datasets do not break down future numbers by age brackets, AreaSearch allocates cohort trends using proportional distributions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (based on 2022 data). Under this framework, overall numbers are anticipated to contract over the forecast horizon, falling by 279 persons by 2041. In contrast to this aggregate decline, particular demographic segments are set to expand, most notably individuals aged 75 to 84, who are projected to increase by 186 people. <i>See the age section for more details.</i>
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
39 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Warren Park over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Mount Warren Park have averaged approximately 7 dwellings per annum, totaling 39 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Net demographic inflow across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26) stood at 1.4 people per year per newly completed home, indicating balanced demand and supply dynamics with steady conditions; more recently, however, this metric rose to 3.6 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing toward constrained availability and stronger intake pressure. Average construction costs for new dwellings stand at $414,000.
On the commercial front, non-residential approvals reached $10.7 million in the current financial year, signaling moderate non-residential development activity. Dwelling generation across Mount Warren Park lags behind Greater Brisbane by a wide margin, registering 85.0% below regional average per person. This subdued building volume tends to elevate pricing and demand across the established property stock. Activity also tracks beneath broader national rates, illustrating local market maturity as well as potential planning restrictions. Recent residential creation has focused exclusively on freestanding houses, reinforcing local suburban characteristics and catering to family households prioritizing living space. Homebuilders are delivering single-family houses at rates above the historical dwelling distribution (79.0% at Census), demonstrating sustained interest in traditional housing despite broad density initiatives. With approximately 1078 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of an established, mature residential setting. Given that demographic projections point toward population stability or contraction, residential demand pressures across Mount Warren Park are anticipated to ease, creating favorable purchasing conditions for prospective homeowners.

3,011 residents of Mount Warren Park are employed, from a labour force of 3,118. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 64.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,066, about 85% 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
Mount Warren Park sustains a balanced employment landscape across blue-collar and white-collar roles, highlighted by an outsized presence in building and construction along with a low jobless rate of 3.4%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,011, with the local unemployment measure tracking 0.9% below Greater Brisbane's 4.3%. Labor market participation, however, trails the metropolitan benchmark (64.7% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.1%). Furthermore, Census records indicate that merely 11.4% of employed locals carried out their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Construction shows notable local concentration, capturing an employment share 1.6 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.6% of the workforce, trailing the Greater Brisbane mark of 8.9%. Comparisons between Census counts of resident workers and local workplace positions suggest that the area functions primarily as a dormitory suburb offering limited internal commercial employment. Analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures indicates that the twelve month period experienced a 2.6% reduction in the labour force together with a 2.7% drop in employment, which resulted in relatively stable unemployment levels. This pattern differs from what occurred in Greater Brisbane, where employment increased by 3.2%, the labour force expanded by 3.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. Forecasts for national employment published by Jobs and Skills Australia for Mar-26 provide additional perspective on anticipated demand within Mount Warren Park. These outlooks span five and ten year horizons and have been compared with the local employment composition to estimate projected growth. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Mount Warren Park's current employment structure, the area is projected to see a 6.2% rise in employment over five years and a 13.0% increase over ten years, though this estimate relies on simple weighting extrapolation and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,736 at the 2021 Census → 5,964 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.
