Sales Detail
Canungra has an estimated 1,540 residents, up from 1,436 at the 2021 Census — a change of 104 people, or 7.2%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years. 181 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 52.0% of that increase. Density is about 51 people per 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 investigations of ABS demographic statistics for the wider region, alongside newly confirmed addresses by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Canungra has an estimated population of approximately 1,540 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 104 people (7.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered a population of 1,436 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 1,537, determined by AreaSearch after assessing the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and incorporating an additional 181 validated new addresses since the Census date. Such a population size results in a density of 51 persons per square kilometer, which offers residents significant personal space.
Throughout the last decade, the suburb of Canungra has shown steady growth trends with a 2.1% compound annual growth rate, which is higher than that of the SA3 area. The population expansion in the region was majorly driven by overseas migration, which made up approximately 52.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though all growth elements, including interstate migration and natural growth, remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections from 2023, which use 2021 as a base, are applied. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdown statistics, AreaSearch distributes growth across age groups based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 base data) for each cohort. In terms of future growth, the suburb of Canungra is projected to experience population expansion above the median rate of Australian non-metropolitan regions, with the population projected to grow by 221 persons to 2041 based on compiled SA2 statistics, representing a total increase of 14.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
191 new dwellings have been approved in Canungra over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 25 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An evaluation of ABS building permit data by AreaSearch, distributed from regional statistics, indicates that the suburb of Canungra has averaged approximately 38 approved residential properties annually, leading to a total of about 191 homes over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 27 approvals recorded. Because only 0.6 people per year have relocated to the region for every finished dwelling over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the supply of new housing matches or exceeds demand, providing buyers with many choices and enabling population expansion beyond current projections, while new dwellings average an expected construction cost of $446,000.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $718,000 during this financial year, which highlights the residential focus of the locality. Relative to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Canungra registers 412.0% more new home approvals per person, which gives purchasers a wider selection of choices. This rate is significantly higher than the national average, reflecting high confidence among developers. Furthermore, recent construction has consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the locality with a focus on single-family homes that attract buyers looking for space. With approximately 27 people for each dwelling approval, the suburb of Canungra exhibits the markers of a growing region. Demographic predictions show that the suburb of Canungra will add 218 residents through to 2041, measured from the latest quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. In light of existing construction trends, the volume of new residential properties is expected to easily accommodate this demand, which creates favorable conditions for buyers and could support population growth that surpasses current forecasts.

866 residents of Canungra are employed, from a labour force of 885. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 71.9%. 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 1,289, 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
The workforce in the suburb of Canungra is evenly split between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.1%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.8% over the past year, according to AreaSearch regional data aggregation. By March 2026866 local residents were employed, while the unemployment rate was 1.8% below the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, and the labor force participation rate was significantly elevated (71.9% relative to 64.3% in Regional Qld). Census records show that a moderate 14.0% of the working population operated from home, though the effects of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and accommodation & food. The region shows a particularly high concentration in construction jobs, with employment rates at 1.4 times the regional average. In contrast, the mining sector has a lower presence at 1.2% compared to the regional average of 3.6%. The suburb of Canungra appears to present few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of Census jobs in the area to the size of the resident working population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from wider areas, during the year ending March 2026, employment figures rose by 3.8% and the labor force expanded by 3.5%, which led to a 0.3 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1%, labor force growth of 0.3%, and a rise in unemployment of 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand in the suburb of Canungra. These projections, covering five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents should grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for specific local population 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 — 181 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,436 at the 2021 Census → 1,540 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL30523). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
