Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.

SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).

Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Aroona - Currimundi

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Aroona - Currimundi has an estimated 10,335 residents, up from 10,043 at the 2021 Census — a change of 292 people, or 2.9%. That puts 1,876 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

Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Aroona - Currimundi stands at approximately 10,335 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 292 people (2.9%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 10,043 people. Such growth incorporates the ABS estimated resident population benchmark of 10,328 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 26 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 1,875 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the nationwide norm across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Inbound international migration served as the principal demographic driver, accounting for roughly 90.4% of total population additions over recent timeframes.

Projections utilised by AreaSearch for individual SA2 localities rely on the ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. Where areas fall outside this series, or for horizons extending beyond post-2032, figures reference Queensland State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2023 from 2021 inputs. Because these state figures omit age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch incorporates age-specific proportional distribution weights derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Long-term demographic outlooks point toward lower quartile growth relative to non-metropolitan benchmarks, with local numbers projected to expand by 126 persons to 2041 under prevailing annual ERP figures, representing an overall increase of 1.1% across the 16 years.

Detail

Residential planning approvals across Aroona - Currimundi have averaged roughly 19 new homes annually, totalling 98 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Alongside this, net resident arrivals averaged 1.1 people per year for every newly built residence over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), maintaining an equilibrium between demand and supply that fosters market stability, with new residential projects reflecting an average construction cost of $594,000.

Compared with Rest of Qld, building volumes throughout Aroona - Currimundi are notably subdued (86.0% below regional average per person). While this restricted flow of new stock typically underpins pricing and demand across established homes, local construction has picked up pace lately. Per-person building activity remains lower than national levels as well, highlighting the mature character of the district and potential capacity restrictions. Recent approvals encompass 68.0% detached houses and 32.0% medium and high-density housing, delivering an expanding selection of apartments and townhomes that cater to varying budgets, spanning family residences to lower-cost compact dwellings. This distribution represents a noticeable departure from the prevailing housing stock (currently 87.0% houses), responding to land availability constraints while adapting to changing household sizes and affordability considerations. Overall density stands at around 369 people per dwelling approval, indicative of a fully established community. Projections indicate that Aroona - Currimundi will add 119 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate).

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 — 26 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,043 at the 2021 Census → 10,335 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 (316021417). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Aroona - Currimundi SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Aroona - Currimundi page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Aroona - Currimundi data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
