Sales Detail
Mount Cotton has an estimated 7,718 residents, up from 7,302 at the 2021 Census — a change of 416 people, or 5.7%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 66.0% of that increase. That puts 181 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 evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with address records verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Mount Cotton has a population of approximately 7,718 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 416 people (5.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the population was recorded at 7,302 people. The figure is derived from the resident population of 7,717, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures alongside address checks conducted after the Census date. With this population level, the density stands at 180 persons per square kilometer, which indicates low density living and potential capacity for future building projects.
The main driver of population gains was natural increase, which was responsible for about 66.0% of the overall expansion in recent times. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are utilized for SA2 zones. For locations lacking this coverage or for years beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are adopted. Because the state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, age cohort calculations are weighted using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 (relying on 2022 data). Demographic models indicate a slight contraction in the total population of the suburb of Mount Cotton over this timeframe, with a projected reduction of 8 persons by 2041. Nevertheless, certain age brackets are set to grow, particularly those aged 75 to 84, which is expected to rise by 149 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
26 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Cotton over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 0.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals indicates that the suburb of Mount Cotton has averaged roughly 5 development approvals for dwellings annually, amounting to 26 homes during the last 5 financial years. In the current period of FY-26, 14 approvals have been logged. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, an average of 12 people per year moved to the area for every new home constructed. This demonstrates that demand outstrips the supply of new housing, a dynamic that tends to escalate prices and intensify competition among buyers. The average valuation of these new builds is $759,000, indicating that residential construction is concentrated on high-end, premium properties.
Additionally, all recent residential building approvals have been for standalone houses, preserving the established low-density profile of the area and providing spacious options for families. The ratio of 855 people in the area for every dwelling approval highlights the quiet pace of residential building activity. Given that the population is projected to remain steady or contract, the suburb of Mount Cotton is likely to experience less pressure on housing supply, which could create favorable conditions for prospective purchasers.

4,890 residents of Mount Cotton are employed, from a labour force of 4,951. Unemployment sits at 1.2%, with participation at 85.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,117, about 79% 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 is highly skilled with a strong presence in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of only 1.2% and a job growth rate estimated at 3.7% over the prior year. In March 2026, there were 4,890 employed residents. The unemployment level is 3.1% below the 4.3% recorded across Greater Brisbane, and the participation rate is exceptionally high at 85.2% compared to the 70.4% average for Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates that a moderate 19.5% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by public health restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The suburb exhibits a clear specialization in construction, with its share of employment reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is under-represented, employing 13.0% of the local workforce compared to 16.1% in Greater Brisbane. The balance between local jobs and resident workers suggests that immediate local employment options are somewhat restricted. Data from the SALM and ABS indicates that for the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed individuals rose by 3.7% and the total labor force grew by 3.8%, leaving the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. In comparison, Greater Brisbane saw employment expand by 3.2% and the labor force rise by 3.4%, while its unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide a benchmark for future demand. When these five-year and ten-year national projections are applied to the local industry mix, they suggest local employment could rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, assuming national trends map locally and excluding specific local population forecasts. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth varies widely.

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,302 at the 2021 Census → 7,718 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 (SAL31952). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
