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
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
Based on demographic assessments of ABS statistics for the surrounding region and fresh residential addresses verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the population of Mount Warren Park is calculated to be approximately 5,964 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 228 people (4.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 5,736 residents. This shift is derived from the resident count of 5,964, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP details from June 2025 alongside an additional 18 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. Such resident numbers result in a density of 1,423 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figures recorded across national locations analysed by AreaSearch.
Expansion of the local population was mostly fueled by arrivals from abroad, who accounted for roughly 54.0% of the overall population increases during recent timeframes. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilised by AreaSearch. For SA2 regions lacking these details, or for years beyond 2032, forecasts compiled by the Queensland State Government in 2023 utilizing 2021 data are adopted. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Looking at demographic expectations, forecasts suggest a shrinking local populace, with the overall headcount expected to fall by 253 persons by 2041 using this approach. Conversely, expansion is anticipated within particular age brackets, led by residents aged 75 to 84, who are forecast to grow by 184 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
62 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Warren Park over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building consent statistics distributed from local area files, the suburb of Mount Warren Park averages approximately 12 residential building approvals annually, arriving at an estimated 62 residences over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 2 approvals have been documented. Since there has been an average of just 0.9 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the incoming housing volume is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, providing buyers with diverse options and establishing room for population growth beyond predicted levels, with new homes registering a mean construction value of $439,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end market with premium housing.
Additionally, commercial building consents worth $79,000 have been logged during this financial year, highlighting that the locality remains mostly residential. Compared with Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Mount Warren Park displays highly reduced building volume (79.0% below regional average per person). This lack of new stock generally bolsters demand and valuations for pre-existing houses. This construction volume is also below national benchmarks, pointing to the mature nature of the locality and hinting at potential planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent construction has consisted of detached houses, maintaining the suburban profile of the neighborhood with a focus on spacious family homes. This concentration on detached housing is even more pronounced than historical ratios suggest (79.0% at Census), showing that desire for traditional family properties remains high despite density trends. The locality records approximately 996 people per dwelling approval, showing a fully established real estate market. Given that the resident count is projected to remain steady or contract, the suburb of Mount Warren Park will likely experience less pressure on its housing stock, potentially presenting favorable circumstances for 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 64.2%. 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 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 suburb of Mount Warren Park has a balanced labor force spanning professional and manual occupations, with building and construction showing notable local representation, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.4%, according to AreaSearch regional data compilations. In March 2026, 3,011 local citizens were employed, with the jobless rate tracking 0.9% lower than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%, though workforce engagement is quite low (64.2% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%). Census data indicates that a modest 11.4% of employed locals worked from home, although this may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
Local jobs are heavily concentrated in building trades, healthcare & social assistance, and retail commerce. The community displays a strong focus on building and construction, where the workforce share is 1.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, making up only 4.6% of the workforce in the suburb of Mount Warren Park compared to 8.9% throughout Greater Brisbane. This residential enclave appears to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing Census jobs data against the resident workforce population. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS data for the broader district show that over the 12-month period, the total workforce shrank by 2.6% while overall employment fell by 2.7%, maintaining a steady unemployment rate. This differed from Greater Brisbane, where employment expanded by 3.2%, the labor force increased by 3.4%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand within the suburb of Mount Warren Park. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, are compared with local job profiles to model growth patterns. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by sector. Projecting these industry trends onto the local job distribution suggests employment for residents should rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison and does not incorporate local 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 — 18 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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.
