DemographicsPopulation Growth in Mapleton

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Mapleton has an estimated 1,951 residents, up from 1,661 at the 2021 Census — a change of 290 people, or 17.5%. Growth has averaged 3.1% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 145 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

According to the analysis of recent ABS demographic releases for the wider region, alongside new address files verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Mapleton has an estimated resident count of 1,951 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 290 individuals (17.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 1,661 residents. This trend is calculated from a base resident count of 1,926 estimated by AreaSearch using the latest June 2025 ABS ERP publication, combined with 14 additional addresses verified after the Census date. The current population translates to a density of 145 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment with capacity for prospective expansion.

Mapleton's 17.5% expansion rate outpaced both the Rest of Qld at 9.2% and the national standard, placing it among the region's top growth areas. This expansion was driven mostly by interstate relocations, which accounted for roughly 72.0% of the growth, though all contributors, including international arrivals and natural increase, remained in positive territory. AreaSearch utilizes the demographic projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which use 2022 as their starting point. In instances where SA2 regions lack this coverage, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are substituted. Because the state-level figures do not detail specific age brackets, AreaSearch allocates age cohort proportions based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections that utilize a 2022 baseline. Looking forward, the community is projected to experience growth tracking slightly below the median for regional Australian locales, with projections pointing to an increase of 168 residents by 2041, representing a total expansion of 7.3% over the 16-year timeframe.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Mapleton

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

58 new dwellings have been approved in Mapleton over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, running ahead of 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

Statistical evaluations by AreaSearch of ABS residential building approvals indicate that the suburb of Mapleton has averaged roughly 11 approved residences annually, totaling 58 residential approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 13 approvals during the current FY-26 period. Given that approximately 4.8 new occupants have settled in the area for every finished home over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential supply is falling short of demand, a scenario that typically intensifies buyer rivalry and elevates prices. Approved new builds carry an average valuation of $719,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end residential projects.

Additionally, commercial approvals worth $1.5 million were logged this fiscal year, pointing to a heavily residential development profile. Building activity in the suburb of Mapleton is considerably subdued compared to the Rest of Qld, sitting 53.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. This constrained flow of new properties tends to bolster demand and support valuations for the existing housing stock. Furthermore, recent construction has consisted entirely of detached single-family houses, preserving the local low-density aesthetic and appealing to households prioritizing space. A ratio of roughly 165 residents per approved dwelling characterizes Mapleton as a developing locality. Based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, the suburb of Mapleton is anticipated to add 143 new occupants by 2041. Provided current building velocities are sustained, residential supply should comfortably satisfy requirements, yielding advantageous buying circumstances and potentially facilitating growth beyond current projections.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Mapleton

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

753 residents of Mapleton are employed, from a labour force of 812. Unemployment sits at 7.3%, with participation at 47.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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 1,603, about 82% 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 local workforce exhibits high levels of education alongside a strong presence in crucial service sectors, with the unemployment rate sitting at 7.3% according to AreaSearch's aggregated figures.

Conversely, retail trade employs only 5.4% of the local workforce, which is below the Regional Qld average of 10.0%. A comparison between the count of local workers in the Census and the resident population suggests the area offers relatively few local jobs. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the surrounding region show that over the 12-month period, the local workforce shrank by 0.6% and total employment fell by 2.0%, leading to a 1.3 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. This trend diverged from Regional Qld, which saw a 0.1% lift in employment, a 0.3% expansion of the labor force, and a minor 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be contextualized using Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25. These five and ten-year national outlooks have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector.

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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,661 at the 2021 Census → 1,951 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 (SAL31757). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Mapleton suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Mapleton page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Mapleton data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
