As of November 2025, the population of Mango Hill is estimated at around 17,840 people. This reflects an increase from the 2021 Census figure of 14,921 people, marking a rise of 2,919 individuals (19.6%).

This results in a population density ratio of 1,241 persons per square kilometer, higher than the national average assessed by AreaSearch.

Interstate migration contributed approximately 53.0% to overall population gains in recent periods, with all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth being positive factors.

For projections, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia figures for each SA2 area released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Post-2032 projections for areas not covered by this data use Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 based on 2021 data, with proportional growth weightings applied where necessary. By 2041, the suburb is projected to increase by 8,582 persons, reflecting a total gain of 46.5% over the 17 years and placing it in the top 10 percent of national statistical areas for exceptional growth.

The level of residential development activity in Mango Hill was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers in Mango Hill shows around 239 new homes approved annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, approximately 1,197 homes were approved, with an additional 11 approved so far in FY-26. On average, each dwelling constructed has attracted 3.6 new residents per year over these five financial years.

This demand outpaces supply, potentially putting upward pressure on prices and increasing competition among buyers. New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $521,000. In FY-26, there have been $3.6 million in commercial approvals, indicating the area's primarily residential nature. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Mango Hill has 116.0% higher construction activity per person, offering buyers ample choice, although recent construction activity has eased. This high activity reflects strong developer confidence in the area. New building activity consists of 25.0% detached houses and 75.0% medium to high-density housing, attracting downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers due to affordable entry pathways. This shift from the existing 70.0% houses indicates decreasing availability of developable sites and changing lifestyles.

With around 87 people per dwelling approval, Mango Hill is characterized as a growth area. Population forecasts suggest Mango Hill will gain 8,288 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.
