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.

North Mackay has an estimated 6,440 residents, up from 6,283 at the 2021 Census — a change of 157 people, or 2.5%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 77% of areas nationally. That puts 665 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 assessments by AreaSearch, the resident count of North Mackay is close to 6,440 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 157 individuals (2.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 6,283 residents. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,418 alongside 21 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With these figures, the population density stands at 665 persons per square kilometer, indicating ample space per resident and room for future expansion. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for about 73.8% of the recent population gains.
Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data, and for all years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are adopted. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales growth weightings across age groups using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, population expansion is projected to run slightly below the median for regional Australia, with the local population expected to grow by 429 individuals by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP, showing a total increase of 6.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in North Mackay over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, running ahead of 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
Residential approvals in North Mackay average approximately 9 per year, with a total of 47 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 11 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 3.7 individuals moving to the location for every new home completed between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outpaces supply, which typically drives up local prices and intensifies competition among buyers, while new residences carry an average building cost of $341,000, aligning with regional averages. Additionally, commercial approvals stand at $2.0 million for this financial year, pointing to quiet commercial building activity.
Compared to the Rest of Qld, building activity in North Mackay is significantly lower, tracking 59.0% below the regional average per capita. This restrained supply pipeline generally bolsters demand and values for existing properties. Construction rates also trail the national average, highlighting the established profile of the suburb and suggesting possible planning constraints. Of the new approvals, 50.0% are detached houses and 50.0% are attached residences. This equal split offers more compact, budget-friendly choices, drawing in downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock (where houses make up 76.0%), pointing to a scarcity of vacant land and adapting to shifting lifestyle choices and affordability constraints. The ratio of 713 people for every single dwelling approval reflects a quiet building environment with minimal activity. Demographic projections indicate that North Mackay will add 407 residents by 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. If current building volumes remain unchanged, the supply of housing may fall behind population growth, which is likely to heighten competition among buyers and support upward pressure on property prices.

3,327 residents of North Mackay are employed, from a labour force of 3,499. Unemployment sits at 4.9%, with participation at 64.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 in North Mackay displays a balanced distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, with a solid footprint in industrial and manufacturing fields, an unemployment rate of 4.9%, and an estimated 4.0% growth in jobs over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,327, while the unemployment rate was 1.0% higher than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%. Participation in the labor force matches the Regional Qld rate of 64.3%. Census data showed that a minor 4.2% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Local employment is largely concentrated in retail trade, health care & social assistance, and mining. The mining sector is especially prominent, with its share of employment running 2.5 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.7% of local jobs, compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. Although there are jobs available locally, comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests a significant portion of residents travel outside the area for employment. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 4.0% while the labor force expanded by 5.8%, resulting in a 1.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the labor force expand by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate tick up by 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide further context on expected employment demand in North Mackay. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these sectoral outlooks to North Mackay's current workforce composition indicates local employment would grow by 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration that 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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,283 at the 2021 Census → 6,440 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 (312021349). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
