Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Cloncurry

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Cloncurry has an estimated 3,401 residents, up from 3,167 at the 2021 Census — a change of 234 people, or 7.4%. 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

According to investigations of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region, alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Cloncurry has an estimated residency of 3,401 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 234 people (7.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 3,167 residents. The shift is calculated from a resident base of 3,394, which AreaSearch estimated after evaluating the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) combined with 34 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population level yields a density of 0.40 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density setting with substantial personal space.

The suburb of Cloncurry's 7.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census was higher than the SA3 area (1.9%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth frontrunner. Recent population increases were mostly driven by relocations from other states, which accounted for roughly 54.0% of total population gains, though all components including natural growth and international migration remained positive. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for any years beyond 2032, the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections, published in 2023 utilizing 2021 statistics, are applied. Note that these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age; consequently, where used, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Future demographic forecasts suggest the suburb of Cloncurry will experience expansion slightly below the median for regional Australian localities, with the collective SA2 projections pointing to an increase of 373 residents by 2041, representing a total growth of 10.8% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Cloncurry

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

28 new dwellings have been approved in Cloncurry over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. 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

Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical zones, the suburb of Cloncurry averages approximately 5 dwelling approvals annually, with a total of 28 residential approvals granted over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and none so far in FY-26. With an average of 10.6 new residents per constructed dwelling arriving over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new supply falls short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives prices upward. Approved residential builds carry an average value of $722,000, indicating that development activity is concentrated on the high-end residential market.

Furthermore, $2.2 million in commercial development approvals have been registered this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. In comparison to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Cloncurry registers 52.0% more development activity per capita, offering buyers a wider range of choices. However, this rate remains below the national benchmark, pointing to a mature local market and potential planning barriers. Residential construction is dominated by standalone houses at 86.0%, with attached dwellings making up 14.0%, preserving the traditional low-density profile centered on spacious family homes. The estimate of 376 people in the area for every single dwelling approval underscores a quiet, low-scale building environment. Looking forward, the suburb of Cloncurry is projected to add 366 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its current pace, the addition of new housing may not keep up with demographic growth, which could increase competition among purchasers and support higher price appreciation.

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 — 34 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,167 at the 2021 Census → 3,401 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 (SAL30628). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Cloncurry suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Cloncurry page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Cloncurry data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
