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.

Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation, the population of Upper Coomera - North is approximately 22,333 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,046 people (10.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 20,287 residents. The calculation is based on the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 21,884, combined with 335 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level results in a density of 1,431 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure for national locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The 10.1% growth rate in Upper Coomera - North since the 2021 census was higher than the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the national benchmark, placing the area among the leading growth zones in the region.
The population expansion was driven chiefly by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 66.3% of the overall gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2. For areas not covered by these figures, and for all years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used instead. Because the Queensland state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using the proportional weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which were published in 2023 using 2022 baseline data. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the area is projected to experience population growth that is above the median for regional locations nationwide, expanding by 4,705 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP numbers, which represents a total increase of 19.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
250 new dwellings have been approved in Upper Coomera - North over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 42 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 33% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 89, running ahead of 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
Upper Coomera - North has averaged approximately 50 residential building approvals annually, resulting in 250 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 82 approvals have been registered. An average of 5.1 residents moved to the district for every new home constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, showing that demand is outpacing supply, a dynamic that commonly drives up prices and increases buyer competition, with new residential projects averaging a construction cost of $363,000. In addition, commercial approvals valued at $5.8 million have been logged during the current financial year, which highlights the predominantly residential character of the locality.
Building activity in Upper Coomera - North is significantly lower than in the Rest of Qld, sitting at 75.0% below the regional average per capita. Although construction volume has increased recently, this limited pipeline of new builds typically supports the pricing and demand for established properties. The rate of construction is also lower than the national average, indicating a mature market and potential developmental bottlenecks. The new dwelling mix consists of 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% medium and high-density residential structures. The focus on higher-density projects offers lower-cost entry points suitable for downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This is a clear departure from the current housing stock, which is 76.0% detached houses, pointing to a declining supply of vacant land, changing consumer preferences, and a demand for more varied, affordable housing. With a ratio of roughly 306 residents for every new approval, Upper Coomera - North exhibits the traits of a transitioning market. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, population projections indicate that Upper Coomera - North will add 4,256 residents by 2041. Should construction activity remain at its current pace, the addition of new housing may fail to match this population growth, potentially heightening competition among home buyers and supporting elevated price growth.

12,262 residents of Upper Coomera - North are employed, from a labour force of 12,782. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 74.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,657, about 84% 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
Upper Coomera - North has a workforce with diverse skills, particularly in the construction sector. The local unemployment rate stands at 4.1%, and estimated employment growth reached 3.4% over the past year. As of March 2026, there are 12,262 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.2% higher than the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%. Labor force participation is exceptionally high at 74.5%, compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a low 12.0% of the working population worked from home, although this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a high concentration in construction, with employment levels in this sector sitting at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents just 0.3% of local employment, compared to the regional average of 4.5%. Comparing the census counts of the local working population against the resident working population suggests that this residential area offers limited local job opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12-month period, employment grew by 3.4% while the labour force expanded by 3.2%, which led to a 0.2 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment and a 0.3% increase in the labour force, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia for May-25 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Upper Coomera - North. These national projections, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been compared with the local employment composition to estimate future growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to the employment mix of Upper Coomera - North, the area is expected to see a 6.3% increase in employment over five years and a 13.2% increase over ten years. This calculation represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 335 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,287 at the 2021 Census → 22,333 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.
