Chart Color Schemes
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
Mountain Creek has an estimated 12,399 residents, up from 11,950 at the 2021 Census — a change of 449 people, or 3.8%. That puts 1,682 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Mountain Creek stands at approximately 12,399 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 11,950 residents documented in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 449 people (3.8%). This net variation is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,397 alongside 15 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density reaches 1,682 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Inbound international arrivals served as the principal driver of local population expansion, generating roughly 74.5% of recent cumulative population additions.
For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a base period. For post-2032 horizons or localities lacking coverage, Queensland State Government SA2 projections released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are integrated. Because those state-level datasets omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth weightings based on ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 from 2022 figures. Over the projection timeframe, these modeling assumptions point toward a moderate population contraction, reducing the community by 220 persons by 2041. Concurrently, distinct age segments are forecast to expand, most notably the 75 to 84 cohort, which is expected to increase by 220 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
62 new dwellings have been approved in Mountain Creek over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.0 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 Mountain Creek have tracked at roughly 12 dwellings annually, producing 62 homes across the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, approximately 4.3 people per year moved into the locality for every new home constructed over the past 5 financial years, creating a supply-demand imbalance that heightens competition among prospective purchasers and exerts upward pressure on real estate pricing. Meanwhile, average construction costs for new dwellings sit at $464,000, aligning with regional standards. Commercial development has remained subdued, with only $4.1 million in commercial building approvals lodged during this financial year.
Per-capita construction volume in Mountain Creek sits substantially below wider regional benchmarks, trailing Rest of Qld by 76.0%. Constrained new construction of this nature typically underpins values and demand for established dwellings, even with recent uplifts in building pace. Development intensity also falls short of national rates, underscoring the mature character of the suburb and potential planning limitations. Recent building approvals consist of 33.0% detached residences and 67.0% attached dwellings, offering attainable access points for downsizers, first-time purchasers, and investors. This signals a notable pivot away from the historical housing stock (presently 78.0% standalone houses), adapting to limited land availability while accommodating shifting household budgets and lifestyle preferences. An approval density of approximately 917 people per approval highlights the community's established profile. Given forecasts of an overarching population plateau or minor contraction, residential pressure across Mountain Creek is anticipated to soften, potentially unlocking new opportunities for prospective purchasers.

Proposed changes involve rezoning parts of Mari Street for Tourist Accommodation, mixed-use expansion along Brisbane Road and Walan Street, and building height increases ranging from 3 storeys (12m) to 8 storeys (28m) in targeted nodes to support compact urban growth near future public transport routes.
7,071 residents of Mountain Creek are employed, from a labour force of 7,245. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 72.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,784, about 79% 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 exhibits strong professional expertise and solid representation in essential services, accompanied by a low unemployment rate of 2.4%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,071, while local joblessness tracks 1.5% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Workforce participation is exceptionally robust at 72.7%, outstripping the 64.2% figure found in Regional Qld. Census records also indicate that 15.6% of local workers operated from home, though broader conditions surrounding Covid-19 restrictions provide relevant context for that measure. Resident employment centers primarily on health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of the workforce, well under the regional benchmark of 4.5%. Comparing resident worker counts to the local workplace population indicates that this largely residential enclave provides a limited volume of jobs within its own borders. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics show that in the year to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.2% alongside a 2.5% reduction in total employment, driving an increase in unemployment of 0.4 percentage points. Over the same timeframe across Regional Qld, employment grew by 0.1%, the workforce rose by 0.3%, and unemployment lifted by 0.1 percentage points. Long-term workplace prospects can be evaluated via Jobs and Skills Australia national industry projections from Mar-26. Extrapolating these national benchmarks against Mountain Creek's industry distribution indicates local employment expansion of 6.9% across five years and 14.1% over ten years, compared to nationwide baseline forecasts of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively across the same five- and ten-year windows.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,950 at the 2021 Census → 12,399 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 (316011415). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
