Sales Detail
Mount Warren Park has an estimated 5,964 residents, up from 5,736 at the 2021 Census — a change of 228 people, or 4.0%. That puts 1,423 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Mount Warren Park is estimated to have a population of approximately 5,964, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases and new addresses validated since the Census. When compared against the 2021 Census count of 5,736 people, this represents an addition of 228 people (4.0%). AreaSearch derived this shift by analysing the latest June 2025 ABS ERP figures alongside 17 validated new addresses identified since the Census. In terms of population concentration, the suburb of Mount Warren Park registers 1,423 persons per square kilometer, a density higher than the typical benchmark across locations evaluated nationally by AreaSearch.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary demographic driver, accounting for roughly 54.0% of net population gains over recent periods. Demographic forecasting by AreaSearch utilizes the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. For locations lacking this coverage or extending post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections released in 2023 from 2021 data are incorporated. Because state models lack age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 using 2022 benchmarks. Under this modeling framework, the suburb of Mount Warren Park is anticipated to experience a net contraction of 283 persons by 2041. Despite this overall contraction, expansion remains projected within specific demographics, particularly among individuals aged 75 to 84, who are forecast to increase by 182 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Warren Park over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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
An assessment of ABS building approvals indicates that Mount Warren Park has averaged approximately 12 residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 61 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 4 recorded to date in FY-25. The ratio of 1.6 incoming residents per approved dwelling annually over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) historically signaled balanced supply and demand dynamics, though this metric climbed to 3.6 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing to tightening residential supply and rising demand.
Newly built dwellings carry an average construction cost of $393,000, tracking regional development patterns. Non-residential activity remains minimal, with commercial approvals totaling $79,000 this financial year, underscoring the suburb's primary focus on residential housing. Residential building volumes in Mount Warren Park remain subdued on a per-capita basis, sitting 86.0% below the Greater Brisbane average and trailing national benchmarks, which reflects land constraints and an established, mature housing market. With approximately 920 people per dwelling approval, limited new supply tends to support ongoing demand and values for existing stock. Recent construction activity has consisted exclusively of standalone houses, exceeding the 79.0% at Census baseline for detached stock and reinforcing the low-density suburban character that appeals to buyers seeking space, even amid wider pressures for urban consolidation. With demographic projections indicating a flat or contracting population base, residential demand pressures across Mount Warren Park could ease, potentially establishing more advantageous conditions for prospective property buyers.

3,011 residents of Mount Warren Park are employed, from a labour force of 3,118. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 64.4%. 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 5,058, about 85% 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 across Mount Warren Park features a well-distributed mix of blue-collar and white-collar roles, highlighted by strong representation in the building industry and a low jobless rate of 3.4%. Statistical estimates as of March 2026 identify 3,011 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.9% below the 4.3% reported for Greater Brisbane. In contrast, the local labour force participation rate of 64.4% trails the Greater Brisbane figure of 70.1%. Additionally, Census records show that only 11.4% of employed residents worked remotely from home, a metric shaped within the context of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The leading industries employing local residents are retail trade, health care & social assistance, and construction. Building and trade roles are particularly prominent, with local construction employment standing at 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.6% of the workforce, lagging behind the 8.9% seen across Greater Brisbane. A comparison of the Census resident workforce against local employment counts indicates that the suburb functions predominantly as a residential community with relatively few local commercial jobs. Over the year to March 2026, Mount Warren Park recorded a 2.6% reduction in its total labour pool alongside a 2.7% drop in resident employment, maintaining a steady jobless rate. This diverged from Greater Brisbane, which registered a 3.4% expansion in the labour force, a 3.2% gain in employment, and a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Drawing on Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons, national employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Mapping these sectoral growth rates to the resident employment profile suggests Mount Warren Park could see employment gains of 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (noting this illustrative weighting excludes localized population projections).

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 — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,736 at the 2021 Census → 5,964 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 Aug 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 (SAL32037). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
