This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Mango Hill has an estimated 17,381 residents, up from 14,921 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,460 people, or 16.5%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 640 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 1,210 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region and subsequent address validations conducted by AreaSearch since the Census indicates that the suburb of Mango Hill has an estimated population of 17,381 as of May 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 14,921 people, this represents a population gain of 2,460 residents, or 16.5%. The figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS release of ERP figures, which pointed to a resident population of 16,928, combined with 640 validated new addresses identified since the census date. This population level results in a density of 1,209 persons per square kilometer, a figure that is generally consistent with standard benchmarks across locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Mango Hill's 16.5% expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the national growth rate of 9.3% as well as the state average, positioning the area as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 53.0% of the total population gains in recent times, though other contributors such as overseas migration and natural population growth also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 localities missing from this dataset, as well as for any projections extending past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government SA2 regional projections released in 2023 and based on 2021 statistics are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack detailed age cohorts, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 data. Future demographic patterns indicate that the suburb of Mango Hill is set to experience exceptional growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of all statistical areas nationwide. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate the population will expand by 7,605 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 41.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,142 new dwellings have been approved in Mango Hill over the past five years, an average of 228 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 210 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 25% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 151, 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
Based on analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from regional data, the suburb of Mango Hill has averaged approximately 228 residential approvals annually, resulting in an estimated 1,142 dwellings approved over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 139 approvals recorded. Strong demand has supported property values, with the area gaining an average of 2.2 new residents per year for every completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25. The average construction cost for these new dwellings is $521,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium sector of the market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $3.6 million have been registered in the current financial year, highlighting that the locality remains predominantly residential. Compared on a per capita basis with Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Mango Hill exhibits 103.0% more construction activity, offering a wider range of options for purchasers, even though development rates have slowed down lately. This volume of activity is also considerably higher than the national average, pointing to strong developer interest in the area. Recent building approvals consist of 25.0% freestanding houses and 75.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This concentration of higher-density options provides more accessible price points for buyers and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a substantial shift from the current housing stock, which is comprised of 70.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land for detached homes alongside changing buyer preferences and affordability constraints. With approximately 98 people per approval, the suburb of Mango Hill displays the characteristics of a growing area. Looking forward, the suburb of Mango Hill is projected to add 7,152 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to comfortably accommodate this demand, maintaining favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

10,005 residents of Mango Hill are employed, from a labour force of 10,403. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 81.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 13,326, about 77% 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 suburb of Mango Hill possesses a highly qualified workforce, a strong concentration of workers in essential services, and an unemployment rate of just 3.8%, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 10,005 employed residents. The local unemployment rate sits 0.5% below the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, while the workforce participation rate is unusually high at 81.4% compared to the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. Census data indicates that a moderate 17.9% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The health care & social assistance sector is particularly prominent, employing 1.2 times the proportion of workers seen across the wider region. In contrast, education & training is less represented, accounting for 7.1% of the workforce in the suburb of Mango Hill compared to 9.4% in Greater Brisbane. A comparison between the census working population and the resident population indicates that this primarily residential area offers a limited number of local jobs. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical areas indicates that over the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 0.5% while employment fell by 0.9%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Greater Brisbane, employment expanded by 3.2%, the labor force grew by 3.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide further context for future labor demand in the suburb of Mango Hill. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of change vary widely by sector. Applying these sector-specific trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents would rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, assuming a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population growth.

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 — 640 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,921 at the 2021 Census → 17,381 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.
