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
Mansfield (Qld) has an estimated 9,344 residents, up from 8,851 at the 2021 Census — a change of 493 people, or 5.6%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 1,899 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 evaluation of ABS demographic releases for the wider region, alongside newly confirmed locations verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Mansfield (Qld) is calculated to be approximately 9,344 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 493 people (5.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 8,851 individuals. The shift is calculated from the local population of 9,341, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the most recent ERP statistics from the ABS (June 2025) plus an extra 5 verified new addresses since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density of 1,899 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical ratio observed across national areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Expansion in the area was mostly fueled by international migration, which accounted for roughly 82.0% of the total demographic growth in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for the years after 2032, the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections, published in 2023 and utilizing 2021 data, are utilized. It is worth noting that these state-level projections lack age group breakdowns; therefore, where applied, AreaSearch uses proportional growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) for each age cohort. Looking at future demographic trends, projections show a drop in the overall population, with the local cohort expected to contract by 61 persons by 2041 using this methodology. Even so, expansion is projected in specific age brackets, led by residents aged 85 and over, who are expected to grow by 280 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
60 new dwellings have been approved in Mansfield (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, broadly in line with 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval statistics distributed from regional data, Mansfield has averaged approximately 12 residential approvals annually, amounting to a total of 60 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26, 12 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 4 residents annually relocating to the area for every home built over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the addition of housing is lagging behind demand, which typically indicates intense purchaser rivalry, causing upward pressure on prices, while incoming dwellings are built at an average value of $506,000, showing that developers are focusing on the higher-end market segment with premium options.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $22.2 million have been logged this financial year, pointing to steady commercial development. Additionally, recent building activity has consisted entirely of single houses, preserving the traditional suburban feel of the locality with a focus on family properties that attract those wanting extra room. With roughly 886 people for every approved dwelling, Mansfield represents an extremely established market. With demographic forecasts indicating stable or shrinking numbers, Mansfield might see decreased housing demand, establishing favorable purchasing opportunities.

4,911 residents of Mansfield (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 5,099. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 68.1%. 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Mansfield features a highly qualified workforce, with substantial representation in vital services industries, a jobless rate of just 3.7%, and an estimated job growth of 5.7% over the prior year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of regional data. As of March 2026, 4,911 local citizens are employed, while the jobless rate is 0.6% lower than the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, and workforce engagement is slightly below the benchmark (68.1% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Based on Census feedback, a moderate 21.0% of local workers operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
Resident employment is clustered in healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The region displays a distinct concentration in education & training, with a employment proportion 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, building trades employ only 7.4% of local workers, which is below the 9.0% recorded in Greater Brisbane. Though local jobs exist in the community, it appears a large portion of citizens travel outside the area for employment, based on the ratio of the Census working population to local residents. According to AreaSearch examination of SALM and ABS statistics gathered from wider geographical regions, the 12-month timeframe saw employment rise by 5.7% and the workforce expand by 4.9%, resulting in a decrease in the jobless rate of 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Brisbane saw employment expand by 3.2%, the workforce grow by 3.4%, and joblessness rise by 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national workforce projections from May-25 can supply additional context on prospective future employment trends in Mansfield. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to predict expansion trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different industrial sectors. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce composition in Mansfield indicates employment here should rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local 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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,851 at the 2021 Census → 9,344 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.
