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.

Coromandel Valley has an estimated 4,655 residents, up from 4,469 at the 2021 Census — a change of 186 people, or 4.2%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. That puts 1,053 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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Coromandel Valley is estimated to be approximately 4,655 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 186 people (4.2%) relative to the 4,469 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 4,655 from June 2025 alongside 3 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Based on these figures, the population density stands at 1,053 persons per square kilometer, a level that closely aligns with the standard averages across regions studied by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth rate of 4.2% in Coromandel Valley is within 1.6 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (5.8%), showing a competitive expansion rate. The primary catalyst for this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 59.6% of the total demographic expansion in recent times. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In instances where SA2 data is unavailable, or for periods extending past 2032, regional/LGA projections by age group published by the SA State Government in 2023 (using 2021 baseline data) are applied, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Looking at future demographic changes, the region is projected to experience population growth slightly below the median of areas analyzed by AreaSearch, with an expected increase of 458 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, representing a total expansion of 9.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
23 new dwellings have been approved in Coromandel Valley over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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
Coromandel Valley has registered approximately 4 building approvals for residential projects each year, representing a total of 23 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 3 approvals have been logged. With an average of 7.8 new residents per constructed dwelling recorded annually between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is outstripping new additions, a trend that typically drives up property prices and heightens competition among buyers, with new residential projects showing an average building cost of $272,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $2.4 million during the current financial year, highlighting a quiet commercial development sector.
Building activity in Coromandel Valley is significantly subdued compared to Greater Adelaide, tracking 79.0% below the per-capita average for the region. This limited volume of new building works generally supports demand and price levels for established housing stock. This volume is also lower than the national average, indicating a mature market and potential developmental barriers. Furthermore, all new residential construction has consisted of standalone houses, preserving the classic suburban feel of the neighborhood with a focus on spacious family residences. With approximately 1736 people per approval, Coromandel Valley exhibits the characteristics of a mature, settled community. Demographic forecasts suggest that Coromandel Valley will add 458 inhabitants by 2041, based on the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, the addition of new housing may not keep up with population growth, which is likely to increase buyer competition and support upward pressure on property values.

2,798 residents of Coromandel Valley are employed, from a labour force of 2,831. Unemployment sits at 1.2%, with participation at 76.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,468, about 75% 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 local workforce in Coromandel Valley is highly educated, featuring a strong presence of employees in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 1.2%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.4% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 2,798 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate is 2.7% lower than the 3.8% registered across Greater Adelaide. The labor force participation rate is also exceptionally high, standing at 76.2% compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide. Census data indicates that a moderate proportion of residents, 14.4%, worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety. The neighborhood exhibits a clear concentration in education & training, where the employment proportion is 1.5 times greater than the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing is underrepresented, employing only 2.1% of the workforce in Coromandel Valley compared to 4.3% in Greater Adelaide. Comparing the count of local workers to the resident workforce indicates that this heavily residential district offers few local job opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month timeframe, employment expanded by 5.4% while the overall labor force grew by 5.1%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.2 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Adelaide experienced a 4.2% rise in employment and a 4.0% increase in the labor force, with its unemployment rate also decreasing by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context for prospective labor demand in Coromandel Valley. These projections, looking at five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variations across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Coromandel Valley suggests local employment could rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate local demographic forecasts.

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,469 at the 2021 Census → 4,655 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.
