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.

Coolum Beach has an estimated 17,174 residents, up from 15,948 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,226 people, or 7.7%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 306 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 87.6% of that increase.

Detail
Based on evaluation by AreaSearch, the population of Coolum Beach stands at approximately 17,174 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,226 people (7.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 15,948 residents. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 17,064 alongside 306 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The density of the area is 948 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical figures across other analyzed locations. Coolum Beach has maintained steady growth over the past ten years with a 1.6% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the Rest of Qld.
The expansion was largely supported by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 87.6% of the total population increase during recent periods. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this dataset or for projections extending past 2032, state government projections for Queensland SA2 areas from 2023 (relying on 2021 data) are used instead. Because Queensland state projections omit age-specific details, AreaSearch allocates cohort-specific expansion weights based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data). Demographic forecasts indicate that population expansion will exceed the median of national regional areas, with an expected rise of 2,377 people to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, indicating a total growth of 13.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
316 new dwellings have been approved in Coolum Beach over the past five years, an average of 63 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 78% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 63, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Coolum Beach has recorded approximately 63 new residential approvals per year, summing to 316 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 58 approvals have been registered. With an average of 3.2 new residents per constructed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is outpacing the volume of new supply, which typically drives up values and intensifies buyer competition. The average value of these new dwellings is $481,000, which is marginally higher than the regional average and points to a focus on premium projects. Commercial approvals have reached $11.8 million in the current financial year, representing ongoing commercial investment.
In comparison to the Rest of Qld, Coolum Beach has a significantly lower rate of residential construction, tracking at 52.0% below the regional average per person. This restricted development pipeline generally maintains demand and supports prices for established properties. Recent approvals comprise 78.0% detached homes and 22.0% medium and high-density options, preserving the traditional low-density profile of the suburb while catering to families looking for extra space. With approximately 254 people per approval, the local property sector shows signs of transition. Looking forward, forecasts suggest Coolum Beach will add 2,267 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. While construction activity is keeping reasonable pace with this projected population expansion, purchasing competition may rise as more residents move to the area.

9,048 residents of Coolum Beach are employed, from a labour force of 9,310. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 64.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,707, about 86% 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 workforce in Coolum Beach is well-educated, with a strong presence in essential services sectors and a low unemployment rate of 2.8%. There are 9,048 employed residents as of March 2026, and the local unemployment rate sits 1.1% below the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld. Participation in the labour market matches the 64.3% rate of Regional Qld. Census responses show that 20.5% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The region exhibits a strong occupational concentration in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, agricultural, forestry, and fishing activities are minimal, employing only 0.6% of the local workforce compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. The discrepancy between the local working population count and the resident population suggests that this mostly residential suburb provides limited local employment options. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force contracted by 2.2% and total employment fell by 2.3% during the year ending March 2026, keeping the overall level of unemployment steady. By comparison, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% and its workforce expand by 0.3%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National occupational forecasts from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future local demand in Coolum Beach. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of expansion vary by industry. Modeling these sector-specific rates onto the local workforce suggests Coolum Beach employment could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison rather than a localized population forecast.

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 — 306 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,948 at the 2021 Census → 17,174 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (316031425). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
