Detail
Demographic analysis by AreaSearch utilizing ABS data and verified addresses indicates the suburb of Mackenzie (Brisbane - Qld) has a resident count of approximately 2,300 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 36 people (1.5%) from the 2,336 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated estimate is derived from a resident figure of 2,230 calculated from the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, combined with 70 validated new addresses identified post-Census. The suburb's density stands at 756 persons per square kilometer, matching typical benchmarks observed by AreaSearch. In recent times, population expansion was chiefly supported by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 55.00000000000001% of all gains, though overseas arrivals and natural increase also made positive contributions.
Projections sourced from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for SA2 zones, supplemented by 2023 Queensland Government SA2 projections based on 2021 data for uncovered locations and periods beyond 2032. Because state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings across age groups utilizing the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections with a 2022 baseline. Based on these combined SA2 projections, the suburb of Mackenzie (Brisbane - Qld) is set to experience population growth that exceeds the median of compared locations, adding 326 persons by 2041 and representing an overall expansion of 11.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population

Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals mapped to local boundaries, Mackenzie averages about 19 dwellings approved each year, representing a total of 99 homes during the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 4 approvals have been registered. As the population has contracted recently, the supply of housing has kept pace with demand, maintaining a balanced property market with ample options for buyers, while newly approved dwellings average an estimated value of $530,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing upscale, premium builds. Mackenzie has seen relatively high residential construction activity, running 33.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which supports local asset values while providing buyers with choice.
Recently approved dwellings consist of 52.0% detached houses and 48.0% medium and high-density housing, illustrating a growing availability of diverse medium-density options spanning different price ranges, contrasting with traditional standalone homes and compact alternatives. This marks a shift from the current housing stock, which is 90.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land alongside evolving lifestyle preferences and demand for varied housing types. With a ratio of roughly 46 people per approved dwelling, the suburb exhibits typical low-density layout patterns. Forecasts show the suburb of Mackenzie (Brisbane - Qld) adding 256 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Current building trends suggest that incoming housing volume will comfortably satisfy local requirements, maintaining favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting population growth above forecast levels.

The Collective Residences
Contemporary apartment development featuring 1, 2 and 3-bedroom residences by Propel Development Services. Located 13km from Brisbane CBD with rooftop terraced BBQ area, solar panels, and energy-efficient systems.
1,243 residents of Mackenzie (Brisbane - Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 1,253. Unemployment sits at 0.8%, with participation at 74.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,752, about 76% 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 characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in key service sectors, with an unemployment rate of only 0.8% according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 1,243 employed residents, and the unemployment rate is 3.5% below the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%. Labor participation is steady at 74.5% compared to the regional benchmark of 70.4%. Census figures indicate that a moderate portion of the workforce, 21.6%, worked from home, though this data is subject to the influence of pandemic restrictions.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The workforce shows a notable concentration in education & training, which stands at 1.3 times the regional average share. By contrast, transport, postal & warehousing represents a smaller share of employment at 4.2% compared to the metropolitan benchmark of 5.6%. Comparing the size of the local working population to the resident population suggests that this largely residential locality offers few local job opportunities. Data from SALM and the ABS compiled by AreaSearch indicates that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 3.0% and employment levels dropped by 2.9%, which led to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.2 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Brisbane, where employment rose by 3.2%, the labor force expanded by 3.4%, and the unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future local demand. Over five and ten years, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though trends differ by sector. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents could expand by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighting calculation that does not factor in localized population growth 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 — 70 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,336 at the 2021 Census → 2,300 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.
