Growth has averaged 6.1% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 800 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 68.0% of that increase. That puts 1,623 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
According to ABS demographic updates for the wider region and new address datasets verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Collingwood Park (Qld) has a calculated population of approximately 12,159 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,913 people (31.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 9,246 individuals. This adjustment is based on a resident population of 11,754 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an extra 800 validated new addresses since the Census. The suburb of Collingwood Park (Qld) currently has a population density of 1,623 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
The expansion of 31.5% in the suburb of Collingwood Park (Qld) since the 2021 census outstripped the national average (9.3%) and the state benchmark, positioning it as a key regional growth hub. The expansion was largely fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 68.0% of the population increase in recent times, though natural growth and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates SA2 projections published by ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are used instead. Because the state-level figures do not detail specific age brackets, AreaSearch applies age-group weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (utilizing 2022 data) for each demographic group. Based on these projected shifts, the suburb of Collingwood Park (Qld) is set to experience population gains that rank in the top national quartile, with SA2 projections indicating an increase of 3,909 individuals by 2041, representing a total expansion of 28.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
841 new dwellings have been approved in Collingwood Park (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 168 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 146 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 183, 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals allocated from local statistical divisions, there have been approximately 168 residential approvals granted each year, summing to an estimated 841 homes over the previous 5 financial years. For the current FY-26168 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.6 new residents annually for each home constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, the local supply is falling significantly behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives upward pressure on pricing, with newly built properties averaging a value of $367,000. Additionally, commercial approvals totaling $135.2 million have been registered in this financial year, pointing to a high degree of local business activity.
Collingwood Park yields 69.0% more new home approvals per capita than Greater Brisbane, providing homebuyers with a wider array of options. This rate is also significantly higher than the national standard, indicating robust developer trust in the area. Detached houses constitute 93.0% of recent builds, while medium and high-density dwellings make up the remaining 7.0%, maintaining the suburban character of the area and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The ratio of roughly 60 people for each approval highlights a developing area. Projections indicate that the area will gain 3,504 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If the current pace of development continues, the supply of new housing is expected to comfortably align with demand, offering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially assisting growth beyond current demographic forecasts.

6,248 residents of Collingwood Park (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 6,499. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 73.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 9,752, about 80% 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 local workforce is evenly distributed between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a strong presence in essential services, a low unemployment rate of 3.9%, and an estimated job growth rate of 11.5% over the past year, according to aggregated statistical data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 6,248 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.5% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, while workforce participation is relatively standard at 73.0% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.4%. Census figures indicate that a low 11.7% of the workforce worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
Local employment is largely concentrated in the sectors of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The manufacturing sector is particularly prominent, employing residents at 1.7 times the regional average rate. In comparison, professional & technical services employ only 4.7% of local workers, which is below the Greater Brisbane average of 8.9%. Comparing the Census working population against the resident population suggests that this mostly residential suburb offers limited employment options within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the year leading to March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 11.5% and the labour force expand by 10.2%, which drove the unemployment rate down by 1.1 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded job growth of 3.2% and labour force growth of 3.4%, alongside a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been mapped to the local employment structure to project future trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment will rise by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population 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 — 800 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,246 at the 2021 Census → 12,159 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.
