Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Macleay Island has an estimated resident population of approximately 3,388, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations. This represents an addition of 195 people (6.1%) compared to the 3,193 people documented in the 2021 Census. The updated figure is drawn from an estimated resident count of 3,371 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release, alongside 33 validated new addresses recorded after the Census benchmark. The resulting density stands at 468 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living conditions and scope for future expansion.
Over the prior decade, the suburb of Macleay Island expanded at a compound annual rate of 2.0%, exceeding the broader SA4 region, with interstate migration serving as the principal growth catalyst by accounting for roughly 89.0% of recent population gains. Demographic projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) for individual SA2 localities. For timeframes beyond 2032 or locations absent from that series, 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 figures based on 2021 numbers are applied, with age distributions aligned to 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region proportions based on 2022 data. Over the 16 years leading to 2041, the suburb of Macleay Island is projected to experience strong demographic expansion within the highest national quartile, gaining 1,070 persons to achieve a cumulative 31.1% increase based on consolidated SA2 models.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
290 new dwellings have been approved in Macleay Island over the past five years, an average of 58 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 59 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, well below 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that property development on Macleay Island has averaged roughly 58 dwellings annually, amounting to an estimated 290 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 35 approvals have been documented. With an average of just 0.9 new residents per dwelling built annually across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, new construction is keeping pace with or outstripping local demand, expanding options for purchasers and supporting growth capacity. Furthermore, newly approved homes carry an average construction value of $237,000, presenting relatively budget-friendly development compared to regional standards.
Non-residential building activity remains subdued, with commercial approvals recording $81,000 during the current financial year. Per-capita building activity on Macleay Island runs 75.0% higher than across Greater Brisbane, providing abundant choices for incoming buyers despite a recent cooling in overall application rates. This building rate sits well above national benchmarks, underscoring sustained interest from developers. All recent residential approvals have been for standalone houses, reinforcing the low-density urban landscape and appealing to buyers prioritising space. The density profile is further highlighted by a ratio of roughly 109 people for every dwelling approval. Long-term urban growth forecasts indicate that Macleay Island will gain 1,053 residents by 2041, benchmarked against the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Existing building volumes suggest that residential construction will comfortably accommodate upcoming household demand, sustaining favorable buyer dynamics and supporting population expansion.

851 residents of Macleay Island are employed, from a labour force of 1,075. Unemployment sits at 20.8%, with participation at 34.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,938, about 87% 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 workforce on Macleay Island is evenly split between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a substantial concentration in construction alongside an unemployment rate of 20.8% and steady overall employment conditions over the preceding year, based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 851, while local unemployment exceeded Greater Brisbane's 4.3% benchmark by 16.5 percentage points. Labor force engagement remains comparatively subdued, with a 34.1% participation rate against 70.1% for Greater Brisbane. Census data indicated that 23.4% of employed residents worked from home, a metric subject to the effects of pandemic lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for resident workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction represents a distinct regional specialty, with local worker concentration measuring 1.4 times the regional norm. In contrast, public administration & safety comprises only 4.3% of the workforce compared to 7.0% across the wider region. Comparing working population tallies against resident counts indicates that local job generation remains constrained within this predominantly residential area. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM records indicate that over the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.2% while the total labor force expanded by 0.5%, raising the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Brisbane, employment expanded by 3.2%, the labor supply increased by 3.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia forecasts from Mar-26 project national employment gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years. Mapping these industry projections onto Macleay Island's industry composition points to potential local job expansion of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, based on simple industry weighting.

Detail
Postcode-level ATO tax statistics for financial year 2023 compiled by AreaSearch indicate that the suburb of Macleay Island registered a median taxpayer income of $32,088 and an average of $42,652. These figures trail both national benchmarks and Greater Brisbane figures of $58,236 (median) and $72,799 (average).

In the 2021 Census, personal, family, and household earnings all tracked between the 0th and 1st percentiles nationally.
Income distribution shows that 43.3% of local earners (1,467 people) fall into the $400 - 799 weekly band, unlike the broader region where 33.3% earn between $1,500 - 2,999. Overall, 55.5% of households manage on weekly budgets below $800, and while 85.6% of income is retained after housing costs, this level places the area in the 2nd percentile nationwide.

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 — 33 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,193 at the 2021 Census → 3,388 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.
