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.

Sales Detail
The Coorong has an estimated 5,650 residents, up from 5,473 at the 2021 Census — a change of 177 people, or 3.2%. 215 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 demographic findings from AreaSearch, The Coorong registers an approximate population of 5,650 as of Aug 2026. This figure marks an addition of 177 residents (3.2%) compared with the 5,473 people counted in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,638 from June 2025 alongside 215 validated new addresses identified following the Census. This headcount translates to a population density of 0.70 persons per square kilometer, highlighting an environment with considerable space per inhabitant. Expanding by 3.2% since census, the locality trails the broader SA3 area (6.0%) by only 2.8 percentage points, reflecting resilient demographic fundamentals.
The primary catalyst for local growth was overseas migration, generating roughly 66.7% of overall population gains across recent measurement intervals. Demographic projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries. Where coverage is missing or extends past 2032, figures rely on the SA State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts based on 2021 numbers, adjusted via weighted aggregation to convert LGA trends to SA2 geographies. Looking at long-term trajectory models, overall numbers are anticipated to contract, shedding 78 persons by 2041 under these calculations. In contrast, certain age brackets are slated to rise, most notably the 85 and over demographic, which is projected to gain 184 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
147 new dwellings have been approved in The Coorong over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 5.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% 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
Residential building approvals across The Coorong average roughly 29 dwellings per year, accumulating to 147 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. With an inflow averaging merely 0.4 new residents annually for every newly approved home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to the housing stock have matched or exceeded local demand, supporting generous choice for purchasers and headroom for future population increases beyond baseline expectations. Furthermore, newly constructed residences carry an average construction value of $308,000, aligning with regional standards, while $7.8 million in commercial building permits was recorded during this financial year, underlining the district's predominantly residential footprint.
Relative to Rest of SA, per-capita residential construction in The Coorong is 15.0% lower, though the district still places in the 66th percentile among all areas evaluated nationwide. Recent residential activity has consisted exclusively of separate houses, preserving the region's established low-density landscape and catering to families desiring spacious accommodation. Recording approximately 188 people per approval, The Coorong clearly exhibits a low-density character. Given that the local population is projected to stabilize or decrease, housing demand in The Coorong should soften, potentially opening up advantageous conditions for prospective purchasers.

2,779 residents of The Coorong are employed, from a labour force of 2,899. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 61.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 labour market in The Coorong spans both professional and manual occupations across multiple industry sectors, characterized by an unemployment rate of 4.1% and a 2.8% expansion in estimated employment over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, 2,779 residents are actively employed, with local joblessness tracking 1.3% below the 5.5% recorded across Regional SA, accompanied by an active participation rate of 61.1% (compared to 58.3% for Regional SA). In the Census collection, 18.8% of workers indicated working remotely from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 lockdown measures.
The dominant employment sectors for local residents comprise agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, alongside retail trade. The region exhibits notable economic concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the local employment proportion reaches 2.7 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing claims a smaller presence, engaging only 5.0% of workers in The Coorong relative to 9.3% across Regional SA. Although local positions exist, a comparison between local resident counts and Census workplace locations suggests substantial outward commuting for work. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 2.8% against a 3.7% expansion in the labour pool, driving the jobless rate up by 0.8 percentage points. By comparison, Regional SA observed employment growth of 1.2% alongside a 2.6% increase in workforce size, resulting in a 1.4 percentage point rise. Broader guidance on future labour requirements within The Coorong is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year models have been integrated with the area's industry profile to forecast potential hiring trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with marked variations across distinct industries. Mapping these sector-specific rates across The Coorong's current workforce structure suggests local employment could expand by 4.6% across five years and 10.7% across ten years (this represents an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized demographic 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 — 215 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,473 at the 2021 Census → 5,650 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.
