Sales Detail
East Mackay has an estimated 3,816 residents, up from 3,725 at the 2021 Census — a change of 91 people, or 2.4%. That puts 1,043 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 the analysis of ABS demographic datasets for the surrounding region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of East Mackay has an estimated population of 3,816 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 91 people (2.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 3,725 residents. This adjustment is based on a resident population estimate of 3,780, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS demographic data update from June 2025 in combination with 19 verified new locations established since the Census. With this headcount, the population density stands at 1,042 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with the typical figures observed across locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The primary driver of local growth was overseas migration, which made up approximately 64.0% of the overall population increases recently. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Because these state-level figures do not segment by age bracket, AreaSearch applies growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections with a 2022 baseline to distribute the age cohorts. Future expectations point to a population rise slightly below the national median for regional locations, with the suburb of East Mackay projected to add 229 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2-level estimates, which translates to a total increase of 5.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
40 new dwellings have been approved in East Mackay over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals matched to local statistical boundaries, the suburb of East Mackay has averaged approximately 8 annual dwelling approvals, accumulating to 40 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 17 permits have been registered. The ratio of population growth to new housing supply stood at an average of 1.2 individuals moving to the area for every constructed dwelling during the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating a balanced market, though this has shifted to -0.2 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, pointing to a more favorable supply position.
The expected construction cost of these developments averages $352,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $9.5 million have been registered in the current financial year, showing ongoing business investment. East Mackay generates roughly 58% of the per capita construction activity seen in the Rest of Qld, placing it in the 57th percentile of all examined locations nationally, even with a recent pickup in building pace. This rate remains below the countrywide benchmark, reflecting the established status of the neighborhood and highlighting potential regulatory constraints. Recent approvals comprise 33.0% detached dwellings and 67.0% multi-unit structures like apartments or townhouses. This emphasis on denser housing options offers lower-cost options suitable for downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock, which is 73.0% houses, showing a reduction in vacant residential land and adapting to changing demographic preferences for varied, affordable housing. The metric of 272 people per approved dwelling highlights the low density nature of the area. According to demographic projections, the suburb of East Mackay is set to grow by 193 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Considering local construction trends, the supply of new housing is positioned to comfortably accommodate this growth, supporting favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially allowing population expansion to outpace current forecasts.

2,072 residents of East Mackay are employed, from a labour force of 2,133. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 68.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,019, 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
East Mackay is characterized by a skilled labor force with a notable presence in industrial and manufacturing sectors, an unemployment rate of 2.9%, and a 4.3% expansion in local jobs over the previous year according to AreaSearch regional data aggregates. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,072, while the local unemployment rate was 1.1% lower than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, and participation in the labor market was typical at 68.2% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a minor 4.8% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a distinct concentration in mining, employing residents at a rate 2.5 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing employs only 0.7% of local workers compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. The comparison of working residents to local job numbers suggests the area offers sparse local employment options. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region show that over the 12-month period, jobs grew by 4.3% while the labor force expanded by 5.7%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 1.3 percentage points. During the same timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment grow by 0.1% and the labor force expand by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate potential trends in East Mackay. These five and ten-year forecasts have been combined with local worker profiles to estimate growth. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these projections to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,725 at the 2021 Census → 3,816 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 (SAL30929). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
