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
Cloncurry has an estimated 3,398 residents, up from 3,167 at the 2021 Census — a change of 231 people, or 7.3%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 54.0% of that increase. 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
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Cloncurry stands at approximately 3,398, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS data releases with newly validated addresses added since the Census. In comparison to the 2021 Census tally of 3,167 people, this represents an addition of 231 people, or a 7.3% expansion. This demographic movement incorporates an estimated resident population count of 3,389 established by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 35 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With a density metric of 0.40 persons per square kilometer, residents enjoy substantial physical space.
The suburb of Cloncurry outpaced both the SA3 area (1.9%) and the broader SA4 region with its 7.3% increase since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a standout performer in regional demographic expansion. While positive contributions came from natural growth and overseas migration, inward interstate migration served as the primary catalyst by generating approximately 54.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Cloncurry utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2 area, supplemented by Queensland State Government SA2 area projections (released in 2023 based on 2021 figures) for post-2032 horizons or uncovered zones. Because state-level datasets do not separate figures across individual age groups, AreaSearch incorporates age-cohort proportional weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 using 2022 benchmarks. Looking toward longer-term demographic trajectories, the suburb of Cloncurry is tracking slightly below the nationwide regional median, with aggregated SA2-level figures projecting an addition of 364 persons by 2041, which equates to an overall gain of 10.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
24 new dwellings have been approved in Cloncurry over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Dwelling approval figures compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area ABS building approval numbers show the locality has seen an average of roughly 4 new residential approvals annually, delivering an estimated 24 homes across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with no approvals recorded so far in FY-25. Across those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 12.4 people moved to the locality for each home constructed, generating a notable supply deficit that typically heightens buyer competition and elevates pricing pressure. Additionally, commercial development has remained subdued during this financial year, with commercial approvals amounting to $2.2 million.
Dwelling creation per capita over the 5 year period tracked 38.0% above regional average benchmarks when measured against Rest of Qld, which helps maintain property demand and preserves options for prospective purchasers despite recent moderations in building volume. Relative to the national environment, building activity sits below average, reflecting an established urban footprint alongside potential planning constraints. Across recent residential construction, detached houses represented 80.0% while townhouses or apartments made up 20.0%, reinforcing the district's low-density profile oriented toward family living and spacious environments. The subdued pace of development is further evidenced by a ratio of 968 people locally for every dwelling approval. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, future growth is projected to add 355 residents through to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist without accelerating, residential supply could fail to match incoming population growth, which may intensify competition among purchasers and provide sustained support for local price gains.

1,986 residents of Cloncurry are employed, from a labour force of 2,038. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 75.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,671, about 79% 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
Backed by substantial representation across industrial and manufacturing sectors, the workforce exhibits strong technical capabilities and an unemployment rate of only 2.6%, derived from AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area figures. Work figures as of March 2026 show 1,986 residents actively employed, while the local jobless rate sits 1.4% beneath the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor engagement is exceptionally strong, with workforce participation reaching 75.2% compared to 64.2% across Regional Qld. According to Census responses, working from home was limited to 6.0% of local workers, though broader Covid-19 lockdown impacts must be noted.
Employment among local residents is concentrated primarily in public administration & safety, transport, postal & warehousing, and mining. Mining represents an exceptional area of local concentration, showing an employment share 7.7 times the regional level. In contrast, health care & social assistance accounts for 5.8% of the workforce compared to the wider regional average of 16.1%. Comparing Census figures for resident workers against the local daytime working population suggests that opportunities for local on-site employment within the boundary remain constrained. Analysis of statistical area SALM and ABS figures by AreaSearch reveals that over the 12-month period, the local labor market experienced a 1.0% contraction in the labour force and a 1.1% decrease in employment, driving the unemployment rate up by 0.1 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% alongside a 0.3% rise in the labour force, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-range perspective is offered by Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26, which model five and ten-year demand trajectories against local industry distributions. Nationwide employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Extrapolating these industry weightings to the local employment composition indicates potential local employment gains of 4.5% over five years and 10.7% over ten years (serving as an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized demographic projections).

The median resident of Cloncurry is 33, younger than 82% of areas nationally. That is 1 year younger than at the 2021 Census. 31.7% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
The demographic structure of the suburb of Cloncurry is primarily characterised by working-age parents and children. Adults aged 25 - 44 represent 36.2% of residents as at August 2026, compared to 25.5% in Regional Qld, whereas retiree and elderly cohorts (65+) make up just 12.2%, below the 20.4% recorded across the wider region.

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 — 35 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,167 at the 2021 Census → 3,398 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.
