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 Corinda

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Corinda has an estimated 5,686 residents, up from 5,321 at the 2021 Census — a change of 365 people, or 6.9%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 119 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 73.9% of that increase. That puts 1,974 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Corinda stands at roughly 5,686 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 365 people (6.9%) compared to the 5,321 people counted during the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,686 recorded in June 2025 alongside 119 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 1,974 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Throughout the previous ten years, the suburb displayed steady momentum with a 1.4% compound annual growth rate, outperforming the wider SA4 region.

Inbound overseas migration served as the main catalyst for expansion, generating roughly 73.9% of total recent population additions. SA2 level projections released by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as their starting point) are utilised by AreaSearch. Where locations lack this coverage, or across periods beyond 2032, figures rely on the Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 from 2021 data. Because those state datasets omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distributions derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (based on 2022 benchmarks). Looking ahead, local expansion is anticipated to track slightly under the national median for statistical regions, with an influx of 590 persons projected by 2041 relative to current annual ERP benchmarks, representing a total climb of 10.4% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Corinda

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

271 new dwellings have been approved in Corinda over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 28% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Dwelling consents in Corinda have averaged approximately 54 new homes yearly, accumulating to 271 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Factoring in an influx of 1.2 new residents per annum for each residence built over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), local supply has aligned neatly with demand to sustain balanced market conditions; however, this ratio climbed to 4 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, highlighting heightened demand and possible building bottlenecks. Construction costs for incoming residential builds average $487,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $4.9 million during this financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential character.

On a per-capita basis, Corinda registers 145.0% more new home approvals than Greater Brisbane, giving prospective purchasers broader options despite a recent slowdown in construction activity. Approvals comprise 28.0% detached dwellings alongside 72.0% medium and high-density housing. This strategic emphasis on attached stock enhances entry-level affordability, catering effectively to downsizers, property investors, and first-home purchasers. Such pipeline figures represent a notable departure from existing residential stock (which stands at 68.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of building parcels alongside evolving lifestyle preferences and budget parameters. Recording roughly 295 people per approval, the local property landscape demonstrates clear transition dynamics. Longer-term demographic forecasts anticipate Corinda absorbing 590 residents through 2041 according to recent quarterly modeling from AreaSearch. Provided current building velocity continues, incoming dwelling supply appears well positioned to satisfy demand, fostering favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond baseline expectations.

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 — 119 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,321 at the 2021 Census → 5,686 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 (304031093). 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 Corinda 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 Corinda 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 Corinda 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 (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 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 Aug 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.
