Sales Detail
Manly (Qld) has an estimated 4,574 residents, up from 4,273 at the 2021 Census — a change of 301 people, or 7.0%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,118 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
Based on demographic assessments of ABS data updates for the region, combined with fresh street address details verified by AreaSearch since the Census, Manly (Qld) has a projected citizenry of approximately 4,574 in May 2026. This indicates a rise of 301 residents (7.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 4,273 citizens. This shift is calculated from a resident population baseline of 4,507, which AreaSearch estimated using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, plus another 57 verified new addresses post-Census. Such a population density translates to 2,117 persons per square kilometer, outstripping the typical density across Australian areas reviewed by AreaSearch.
The suburb's 7.0% expansion rate since the Census is just 0.1 percentage points lower than the broader SA3 area (7.1%), showing solid local growth characteristics. Demographic expansion in this locality was primarily driven by international migration, which acted as the sole source of population increases in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates regional demographic projections published by ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking these projections, or for periods past 2032, population models released by the Queensland State Government in 2023 (based on 2021 numbers) are substituted. Because the state-level figures lack age cohorts, AreaSearch adjusts these age categories proportionally using the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts from 2023, based on 2022 records. Looking forward, the suburb of Manly (Qld) is expected to experience growth in the lower quartile of nationwide statistical divisions, adding 173 citizens by 2041 according to collective SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 2.3% over the 16 years.

2,699 residents of Manly (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 2,767. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 72.8%. 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 3,494, 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 suburb of Manly (Qld) boasts a highly qualified labor force, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, and an annual job growth rate of 3.9% based on AreaSearch figures compiled from regional statistics. By March 2026, there are 2,699 employed residents, and the local jobless rate stands 1.9% below the 4.3% rate recorded across Greater Brisbane. Workforce participation is relatively typical, sitting at 72.8% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. According to Census records, a substantial 27.3% of workers operated from home, though this figure likely reflects the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The major employment fields for residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical roles, and construction. The community displays an especially high density of professional & technical workers, at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, healthcare & social assistance is less common locally, accounting for 13.6% of the workforce in Manly (Qld) compared to 16.1% across Greater Brisbane. The suburb remains mostly residential, generating relatively few local jobs, as seen when comparing the Census count of local workers against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch reviews of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader zones, the 12 months leading up to March 2026 saw employment climb by 3.9% and the labor force expand by 4.1%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Meanwhile, Greater Brisbane registered a 3.2% increase in employment and a 3.4% rise in the labor force, with its unemployment rate ticking up 0.1 percentage points. Long-term employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate prospective local workforce demands. These five-year and ten-year national estimates have been applied to the local workforce structure to predict future growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates differ widely by industry. Projecting these industry-specific changes onto the resident workforce suggests local employment will rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 57 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,273 at the 2021 Census → 4,574 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL31748). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
