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
North Mackay has an estimated 6,353 residents, up from 6,194 at the 2021 Census — a change of 159 people, or 2.6%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 77% of areas nationally. That puts 914 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside new address validations identified post-Census, the suburb of North Mackay is estimated to reach a population of approximately 6,353 by Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 159 people (2.6%) above the 6,194 people tallied in the 2021 Census. Such figures are derived from an estimated resident population base of 6,331 established via the ABS June 2025 ERP update, combined with 21 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 914 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch assessment zones.
International migration served as the foremost catalyst for demographic expansion, generating roughly 77.0% of recent population additions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models for SA2 regions, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For non-covered districts or periods extending past post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts (issued in 2023 utilizing 2021 figures) are implemented. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings modeled on ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 data) across each demographic group. Looking ahead, population growth in the suburb of North Mackay is anticipated to track slightly under the national regional median, expanding by 416 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 calculations, representing an overall increase of 6.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in North Mackay over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 39, 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
AreaSearch's review of ABS construction consent metrics mapped to local boundaries indicates that North Mackay has averaged roughly 9 dwellings approved annually, amounting to 47 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 39 approvals have been logged. The area has experienced an average influx of 2.5 new residents annually for every dwelling across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating steady demand supportive of local real estate values. Furthermore, approved residential builds carry an average construction value of $343,000—sitting beneath broader regional benchmarks and indicating comparatively affordable new product.
Complementing this, $138,000 in commercial approvals has been registered during the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the locality. Per capita residential construction in North Mackay tracks at roughly 63% of the level observed across Rest of Qld, positioning the suburb in the 54th percentile across the country, notwithstanding a recent ramp-up in building approvals. This below-average national standing reflects a consolidated urban footprint alongside potential planning constraints. Compositionally, recent approvals encompass 38.0% detached dwellings alongside 62.0% medium and high-density housing, delivering entry-level and downsizing alternatives for first-home buyers and investors. This represents a marked pivot away from the existing property footprint (where detached stock comprises 77.0% houses), signaling diminished greenfield capacity and aligning with changing lifestyle and budget considerations. Overall, with approximately 263 people per approval, the locality retains low-density characteristics. Demographic projections anticipate that North Mackay will add 394 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should building activity fail to accelerate beyond current levels, future housing delivery could struggle to absorb this population inflow, potentially tightening market conditions and reinforcing upward price momentum for properties.

3,280 residents of North Mackay are employed, from a labour force of 3,446. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 64.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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
North Mackay features a diversified labour pool balanced across white-collar and industrial occupations, with strong representation in manufacturing, an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 4.1% according to statistical area data synthesized by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,280, while the local jobless rate sat 0.9% above the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, and labour force participation matched the regional benchmark of 64.2%. Census records show that a modest 4.2% of workers operated from home, though pandemic-related restrictions during that period should be acknowledged.
Leading fields of resident employment comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Mining demonstrates pronounced local concentration, capturing a workforce share 2.5 times that of the broader region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.7% of the resident workforce compared to 4.5% in Regional Qld. Although local commercial enterprises generate jobs, commuter ratios derived from Census working versus residential figures suggest substantial numbers travel beyond the area for daily employment. According to AreaSearch synthesis of ABS and SALM figures across wider statistical areas, employment expanded by 4.1% over the 12 months to March 2026 while the local labour force grew by 5.8%, lifting unemployment by 1.6 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1% alongside labour force expansion of 0.3%, with unemployment rising 0.1 percentage points. Looking forward, national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context for local workforce demand over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is slated to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these industry growth weightings to the local employment structure points to potential job increases of 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized demographic 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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,194 at the 2021 Census → 6,353 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 (SAL32179). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
