This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Cairns North has an estimated 5,809 residents, up from 5,334 at the 2021 Census — a change of 475 people, or 8.9%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 92.0% of that increase. That puts 2,105 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
In the suburb of Cairns North, the population reaches an estimated 5,809 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS updates alongside newly validated post-Census addresses. This count indicates an addition of 475 people (8.9%) over the 5,334 people recorded at the 2021 Census. AreaSearch deduced this upward movement from an ERP figure of 5,808, following the ABS ERP release in June 2025 in combination with ongoing address validation. This community records a density of 2,104 persons per square kilometer, outpacing national averages evaluated by AreaSearch.
Surpassing the SA3 area benchmark of 6.9% as well as the wider SA4 region, Cairns North established itself as a regional growth leader with its 8.9% gain since the 2021 census. The vast majority of this demographic expansion stemmed from overseas migration, which made up around 92.0% of recent population additions. For individual SA2 locations, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In instances where locations lack coverage or require figures beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 modeling from 2023 (using 2021 data) is referenced. Because these state forecasts lack breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch applies proportionate age-cohort weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region 2023 release (referencing 2022 data). Looking ahead, the suburb of Cairns North is projected to rank in the upper quartile of Australia's non-metropolitan regions for demographic growth, with combined SA2 models anticipating an increase of 1,513 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 26.0% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Building approvals in the area remain exceptionally quiet, with fewer than 1 approvals per year on average, totaling 2 dwellings across the five-year period. Such modest building volumes align with the area's rural character, meaning new construction is shaped by precise local residential requirements rather than wide-scale market demand. Given this very limited project count, individual developments can heavily skew annual statistics and comparisons. Construction levels in the locality are substantially subdued when weighed against Rest of Qld and trail national benchmarks significantly. Furthermore, all recent approvals have been exclusively devoted to apartments and townhouses.
Emphasizing higher-density residential formats provides more accessible price points that appeal to investors, downsizers, and buyers entering the property market. With roughly 723 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of an established environment.

3,412 residents of Cairns North are employed, from a labour force of 3,607. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 69.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,004, about 121% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
A highly qualified labor force characterizes the locality, with essential services playing a prominent role and unemployment sitting at 5.4%, as compiled by AreaSearch across statistical areas. Records for March 2026 indicate that 3,412 residents are employed, with the local jobless rate tracking 1.5% higher than Regional Qld's 3.9%. Furthermore, local participation in the workforce reaches a strong 69.4%, outperforming the Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Census figures showed only 13.1% of workers operating from home, an outcome potentially influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary sectors supplying local jobs are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade.
Specialization is particularly pronounced in accommodation & food, which commands an employment concentration 2.1 times that of the broader region. Conversely, construction accounts for only 4.8% of the local workforce, trailing the 10.1% found across Regional Qld. Serving as an active employment centre, the locality recorded 1.0 workers for every resident at the Census, meaning local positions exceed the resident worker base and draw labor in from neighboring districts. According to aggregated ABS and SALM figures examined by AreaSearch, the previous 12-month period saw the local workforce contract by 1.5% and employment fall by 3.4%, lifting the local unemployment rate by 1.8 percentage points. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced an employment increase of 0.1%, a 0.3% rise in its workforce, and an unemployment increase of 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 give further perspective on forward demand in the district. When their five-year and ten-year nationwide sectoral expectations are aligned with the local industry distribution, local employment is projected to expand by 7.1% over five years and 14.8% over ten years, against overall Australian growth forecasts of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively (noting that this weighting extrapolation serves illustrative purposes without factoring in local demographic shifts).

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,334 at the 2021 Census → 5,809 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 (SAL30479). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
