Sales Detail
Cooktown has an estimated 3,193 residents, up from 2,746 at the 2021 Census — a change of 447 people, or 16.3%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 86% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 64.0% 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside updated addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Cooktown has a resident count estimated at approximately 3,193 in May 2026. This represents a gain of 447 people (16.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 2,746 people. The calculation is based on the resident population of 3,160, determined by AreaSearch after analyzing the June 2025 ERP release from the ABS, plus 15 verified new addresses since the Census date. This level of residency translates to a density of 1.5 persons per square kilometer, indicating plenty of personal space.
The suburb of Cooktown's 16.3% growth since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (3.5%) and the Rest of Qld, making it a regional leader in expansion. Population gains were mostly fueled by natural growth, which accounted for approximately 64.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for years after 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections, published in 2023 and based on 2021 numbers, are applied. Because these state projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age-cohort distribution weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 numbers). Looking ahead, the suburb of Cooktown is projected to experience demographic growth just under the median for regional Australia, expanding by 311 persons to 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an increase of 8.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
118 new dwellings have been approved in Cooktown over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 83% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, well below 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
According to building approval figures from the ABS allocated to local statistical boundaries, approximately 23 residential building approvals have been logged yearly, totaling 118 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with 11 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Because an average of 3 new occupants per built dwelling have arrived during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the local supply is falling short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and puts upward pressure on prices, with new homes showing an average construction value of $418,000.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $2.8 million have been logged this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. Recent construction approvals consist of 83.0% standalone houses and 17.0% semi-detached properties or units, maintaining the low-density profile of the locality with a focus on single-family homes that draw buyers seeking space. A ratio of approximately 59 people for each dwelling approval indicates the characteristics of a growing area. Demographic projections indicate the locality will add 278 residents by 2041, measured from the latest quarterly estimates by AreaSearch. In light of ongoing building volumes, residential supply looks set to satisfy demand, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces current forecasts.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Cooktown Multi-Purpose Health Service Redevelopment
A $200 million redevelopment of the Cooktown Multipurpose Health Service (CMPHS) to replace the existing 1980s facility with a modern, culturally appropriate hospital serving Cook Shire and surrounding Cape York communities. Delivered by Health Infrastructure Queensland in partnership with Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service under the Crisafulli Government's Hospital Rescue Plan, the redevelopment will expand capacity to up to 24 beds including maternity, isolation, high dependency and short-stay beds. New facilities include an Emergency Department with medical imaging, resuscitation and treatment bays, shell space for future CT scanning, a new operating theatre and procedure room, an adjacent birthing suite to restore maternity services lost in 2022, ambulatory and specialist outpatient services, a culturally appropriate main entry, and a new support services building, alongside partial refurbishment of the existing hospital.Architecture firm BVN was appointed as design consultant in August 2025. Concept design is due by April 2026, schematic design by August 2026, and detailed design by January 2027, with phase one construction set to commence in 2026 and completion expected in the 2029-30 financial year. The project will improve access to care, restore birthing services, and support staff recruitment and retention in Far North Queensland.
Gigers Residential Subdivision
Greenfield residential subdivision at 2 Hope Street, Cooktown, reconfiguring one lot into 12 residential lots under Cook Shire DA/4310 with operational works approval DA/4590. Currently under construction as an elevated cul-de-sac offering lots from 902sqm to 1,756sqm. Supported by the Queensland Government's $1.1 million Residential Activation Fund to deliver trunk infrastructure including water, sewer, underground power, and NBN.

Port Douglas Splash Park
Bespoke splash park with a rainforest meets reef nature theme, zero depth, designed for families and visitors.
1,513 residents of Cooktown are employed, from a labour force of 1,589. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 62.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% 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 2,479, about 78% 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 locality possesses a skilled labor force, with strong representation in vital services, an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.0% over the past year, according to aggregated statistical boundary data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, 1,513 residents were employed, while the local unemployment rate stood 0.9% higher than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, and participation in the workforce was slightly lower than average (62.3% compared to Regional Qld's 64.3%). Census data indicates a low proportion of 9.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare and social assistance, public safety and administration, and construction. The community displays a particularly strong concentration in public safety and administration, with staffing levels reaching 2.3 times the regional benchmark. On the other hand, manufacturing is underrepresented at 0.8% compared to the regional benchmark of 5.6%. The locality seems to present fewer local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the census working population to the resident population. According to SALM and ABS figures aggregated across broader statistical areas, the 12-month timeframe saw a 2.0% rise in employment alongside a 1.7% expansion of the labor force, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. By contrast, Regional Qld experienced employment expansion of 0.1%, labor force expansion of 0.3%, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on prospective local labor demand. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project growth patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary significantly by sector. Applying these sectoral projections to the local employment structure suggests employment will grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted calculation for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Cooktown is $1,215 a week (about $63,000 a year), with median personal income at $678 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $66,211 a year against an average of $75,830. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Income levels are significantly above the national benchmark based on the latest ATO statistics compiled by AreaSearch for the 2023 financial year. The median taxpayer income is $66,211 and the average taxpayer income is $75,830, which compares to Regional Qld figures of $53,146 and $66,593 respectively. Adjusted for Wage Price Index growth of 11.36% since the 2023 financial year, current values would stand at roughly $73,733 (median) and $84,444 (average) as of March 2026. Data from the 2021 Census reveals that household, family, and individual incomes all rank between the 14th and 24th percentiles nationally.
The earnings distribution is led by the $1,500 - 2,999 category, accounting for 27.9% of residents (890 people), mirroring the wider region where this segment comprises 31.7%. Even though housing expenses are moderate with 86.8% of earnings kept, the overall disposable income ranks at only the 17th percentile nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions - Income
Cooktown had 986 occupied dwellings at the 2021 Census, 86% detached houses and 1% apartments. 24% are owned with a mortgage, 39% rented and 38% owned outright.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,746 at the 2021 Census → 3,193 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 (SAL30675). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
