Upper Mount Gravatt has an estimated 12,086 residents, up from 10,800 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,286 people, or 11.9%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,955 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 Upper Mount Gravatt has an estimated population of around 12,086, determined through AreaSearch analysis of wider ABS population revisions alongside new addresses validated since the Census. Compared to the 10,800 people recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 1,286 people (11.9%). This demographic adjustment is derived from an estimated resident population of 12,084 following AreaSearch review of the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, combined with 97 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a density of 2,955 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Upper Mount Gravatt sits within the upper quartile of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 11.9% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the national figure of 9.5% as well as state benchmarks, positioning the community as a regional frontrunner where recent population gains were almost entirely fueled by overseas migration. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, while Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2023 with a 2021 base are adopted for post-2032 periods and non-covered areas. Because state forecasts lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking forward, the suburb of Upper Mount Gravatt is expected to experience exceptional growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationally. Aggregated SA2-level figures forecast the suburb of Upper Mount Gravatt will expand by 6,230 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 51.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
355 new dwellings have been approved in Upper Mount Gravatt over the past five years, an average of 71 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 92 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 34% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 115, 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
ABS building approval statistics analyzed by AreaSearch indicate that Upper Mount Gravatt averages around 71 residential approvals each year, totaling an estimated 355 homes over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 115 registered to date in FY-25. An average influx of 2.6 people per year per newly approved home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) highlights solid underlying demand that bolsters local real estate. The expected construction cost for these new builds averages $527,000, which sits slightly above regional figures and points toward high-caliber residential projects.
Alongside housing activity, $25.7 million in commercial development approvals was logged during this financial year, underscoring persistent commercial investment. Building activity in Upper Mount Gravatt tracks 21.0% above regional average per person across the 5 year period compared to Greater Brisbane, delivering healthy choices for purchasers while underwriting existing real estate values. The pipeline of new residential construction is split between 34.0% detached dwellings and 66.0% medium and high-density housing, a shift toward denser living options that caters well to first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This construction profile represents a marked pivot from the current housing landscape of 58.0% houses, reflecting constrained greenfield land and shifting lifestyle and affordability demands. With roughly 117 people per approval, Upper Mount Gravatt demonstrates the profile of a developing area. According to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, demographic projections show Upper Mount Gravatt adding 6,228 residents through to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, additions to the housing stock could lag behind incoming population numbers, potentially fueling buyer competition and driving accelerated property price growth.

6,856 residents of Upper Mount Gravatt are employed, from a labour force of 7,198. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 69.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,066, about 116% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Aggregated statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch shows Upper Mount Gravatt supported by an educated labor pool, prominent essential service sectors, an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and estimated yearly employment growth of 5.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents reached 6,856, while local joblessness stood 0.4% above the 4.3% recorded for Greater Brisbane, with participation levels roughly on par with Greater Brisbane's 70.1%. In addition, Census data revealed that 18.5% of working residents operated from home, though pandemic lockdown measures should be taken into account. Health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training constitute the primary employment sectors for local workers.
Upper Mount Gravatt demonstrates distinct concentration in accommodation & food, where its job share reaches 1.4 times regional levels. Conversely, the construction industry is comparatively underrepresented, absorbing 7.2% of the local workforce versus 9.0% across Greater Brisbane. A local ratio of 0.9 workers for each resident at the Census confirms extensive employment opportunities in the immediate vicinity. Examining SALM and ABS figures aggregated across wider statistical areas over the 12 months to March 2026, Upper Mount Gravatt recorded a 5.9% expansion in jobs against a 4.9% increase in the labor force, generating a 0.9 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Brisbane posted employment gains of 3.2%, workforce growth of 3.4%, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 provide perspective on local labor trends over five and ten-year horizons. Across the country, employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variation by sector. Applying these industry benchmarks to the local workforce suggests Upper Mount Gravatt employment should increase by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing an illustrative weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate localized population adjustments.

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 — 97 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,800 at the 2021 Census → 12,086 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 (SAL32914). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
