Mango Hill

Mango Hill lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population for the Mango Hill statistical area (Lv2) is around 17,933, reflecting a 20.2% increase since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 14,921. This growth was inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of 17,546 residents following examination of ABS' June 2024 ERP data release and an additional 496 validated new addresses since the Census date. The resulting population density is 1,247 persons per square kilometer, above national averages assessed by AreaSearch. Mango Hill's growth exceeded the national average (9.7%) and its SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader. Interstate migration contributed approximately 53.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth being positive factors. For projections, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year for SA2 areas covered by this data.

For other areas and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data are used, with proportional growth weightings applied according to ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data. Considering these projections, exceptional growth is predicted for the Mango Hill (SA2) over the period from 2025 to 2041, with an expected increase of 8,582 persons, reflecting a total gain of 45.7% over the 17 years.

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

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Mango Hill has seen 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 74 approved so far in FY-26. On average, 3.6 new residents arrive per dwelling constructed over these five years, indicating demand outpaces supply, which typically influences prices and competition among buyers.

New properties are constructed at an average value of $521,000, reflecting a focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties. This financial year has seen $3.6 million in commercial approvals registered, suggesting limited commercial development focus. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Mango Hill shows 116.0% higher construction activity per person, providing ample choice for buyers despite recent easing of construction activity. This is well above the national average, indicating strong developer confidence in the area. New building activity comprises 25.0% detached houses and 75.0% medium and high-density housing, offering affordable entry pathways and attracting downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This shift from the existing housing composition of 70.0% houses suggests decreasing availability of developable sites and changing lifestyles requiring diverse housing options. With around 87 people per dwelling approval, Mango Hill exhibits characteristics of a growth area.

Population forecasts indicate Mango Hill will gain 8,195 residents by 2041, with current development rates comfortably meeting demand and potentially supporting growth beyond current projections.
