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
Coolum Beach has an estimated 10,348 residents, up from 9,152 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,196 people, or 13.1%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years, faster than 80% of areas nationally. 496 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 379 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 population updates for the wider region and address information confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Coolum Beach has an estimated population of approximately 10,348 as of May 2026. Since the 2021 Census, when 9,152 residents were recorded, this represents a growth of 1,196 people (13.1%). This estimate is calculated from a resident population of 10,272, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), combined with 496 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such population numbers represent a density of 378 persons per square kilometer, which indicates substantial space per resident and capacity for additional growth.
The 13.1% rate of growth in the suburb of Coolum Beach since the 2021 census was higher than the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the nation as a whole, positioning it as a regional growth leader. This expansion was mostly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 62.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though interstate migration and natural growth also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are used by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In cases where SA2 regions lack this data, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 figures) are utilized. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales growth across age groups based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data). Looking at demographic trends, the suburb of Coolum Beach is projected to experience population growth above the national regional median, with SA2 projections indicating an addition of 1,371 residents by 2041, which represents a total increase of 12.5% over the 16 years.

5,376 residents of Coolum Beach are employed, from a labour force of 5,533. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 63.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,430, about 91% 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 suburb of Coolum Beach is home to a skilled workforce with strong representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, based on aggregated statistical area statistics compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,376, while the jobless rate was 1.1% lower than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld. Workforce participation is closely aligned with the 64.3% rate of Regional Qld. Census data indicates a moderate 19.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this period was influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns. Local employment is largely centered in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The construction sector shows high specialization, with a local employment share 1.5 times greater than regional averages. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented at 0.8%, compared to 4.5% across the wider region. Comparing the census working population against resident workforce numbers suggests that local job opportunities within the area are limited. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader statistical area shows that over the 12-month period, the total labour force shrank by 1.7% and total employment dropped by 1.8%, causing the unemployment rate to tick up by 0.1 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local demand might be understood through national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries vary. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment for residents of the suburb of Coolum Beach will rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing 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 — 496 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,152 at the 2021 Census → 10,348 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 (SAL30686). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
