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
Based on demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident count for Mount Warren Park is estimated at 5,964 as of May 2026. This marks a growth of 228 people (4.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 5,736 people. The update is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,964 alongside 18 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level represents a density of 1,413 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure recorded across the nation by AreaSearch. The expansion was largely underpinned by overseas migration, which represented close to 58.7% of the total population gains in recent times.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for each SA2 region. In instances where these are unavailable, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 baseline data) are substituted. Because the Queensland state projections omit age group breakdowns, AreaSearch scales the cohorts proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) for every age bracket. Looking at future demographic shifts, a contraction in the overall population is projected, with a forecast loss of 245 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected in certain age brackets, particularly the 75 to 84 cohort, which is expected to rise by 185 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
64 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Warren Park over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
An average of approximately 12 new housing approvals are recorded annually in Mount Warren Park, with 64 residential builds approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 2 during FY-26 so far. With an average of only 0.9 new residents per year per dwelling constructed during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the volume of new housing is matching or outstripping local demand, ensuring plenty of choice for purchasers and creating headroom for growth beyond current estimates, with new properties being built at an average value of $228,000—below regional benchmarks—meaning more affordable options for home buyers.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $10.7 million have been recorded during the current financial year, showing ongoing commercial investment. Mount Warren Park exhibits highly subdued construction volumes when contrasted with Greater Brisbane (79.0% below regional average per person). This limited addition of new stock typically supports demand and valuations for established properties. Building activity is similarly quiet relative to national trends, showing the mature state of the local market and hinting at potential supply limits. Meanwhile, all recent building approvals have been for detached houses, reinforcing the suburban character of the area where detached dwellings attract buyers seeking extra space. The share of new builds favoring detached housing is higher than the existing profile (79.0% at Census), pointing to sustained consumer preference for traditional houses despite densification trends. The ratio of roughly 1080 people per dwelling approval indicates a highly established housing market. With the population projected to remain steady or contract, Mount Warren Park is likely to experience less pressure on its housing market, which could open up favorable options for prospective buyers.

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
The local workforce is evenly divided between professional and trade roles, with construction jobs showing particularly strong representation, and the area registering a low unemployment rate of 3.4%. As of March 2026, 3,011 residents are employed, with unemployment sitting 0.9% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, while the participation rate remains lower (64.7% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Census data showed a modest 11.4% of employed residents working from home, though this may have been influenced by pandemic containment measures. The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
The locality shows a strong employment focus in construction, where its share of jobs is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 4.6% of local jobs compared to 8.9% regionally. This highly residential locality appears to offer few local jobs, as highlighted by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce. According to AreaSearch's assessment of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force contracted by 2.6% over the year to March 2026, while the number of employed residents fell by 2.7%, leaving the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. This stands in contrast to Greater Brisbane, which recorded a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends for Mount Warren Park. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these trajectories vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry projections to the local employment distribution suggests that employment among residents would rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate 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 — 18 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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.
