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
Coomera has an estimated 24,933 residents, up from 20,225 at the 2021 Census — a change of 4,708 people, or 23.3%. Growth has averaged 4.5% a year over five years, faster than 92% of areas nationally. 614 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 52.0% of that increase. That puts 1,021 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Coomera has reached an estimated resident total of approximately 24,933, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining wider regional ABS updates with post-Census validated address counts. This represents an addition of 4,708 people (23.3%) compared to the 2021 Census baseline of 20,225 people. AreaSearch established this shift by taking the ABS June 2025 ERP release of 24,313 residents and incorporating an extra 614 validated new addresses recorded after the Census. Consequently, local density stands at 1,021 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with broader AreaSearch benchmark averages.
Furthermore, the suburb of Coomera outpaced both the Australian standard and Rest of Qld (9.4%) with its 23.3% expansion since the 2021 census, positioning it among the territory's foremost expansion corridors. While natural growth and overseas arrivals both made positive additions, interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 52.0% of recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 territory utilised by AreaSearch originate from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset anchored to 2022. For years post-2032 or locations outside that scope, calculations incorporate Queensland State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2023 from 2021 benchmarks. Because these state figures lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (derived from 2022 benchmarks). Looking at demographic trajectories, the suburb of Coomera is slated for exceptional growth that ranks within the upper 10 percent of Australia's non-metropolitan districts, with combined SA2 models anticipating an expansion of 19,059 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative surge of 74.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,449 new dwellings have been approved in Coomera over the past five years, an average of 289 a year. That places the area in the 84th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 223 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 26% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries reveals that Coomera has maintained an annual average of roughly 289 residential approvals, translating to an estimated 1,449 dwellings authorized across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), alongside 35 recorded to date in FY-25. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), population expansion has added an average of 4.3 new residents per year per finished residence, creating a situation where structural demand significantly exceeds supply, heightening buyer rivalry and placing upward pressure on property prices, while prospective dwellings carry an average construction value of $601,000.
In addition, the commercial sector displays robust momentum, evidenced by $90.7 million in non-residential approvals logged during this financial year. Coomera registers moderately elevated residential construction permissions relative to Rest of Qld (tracking 29.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), preserving inventory selection for buyers and anchoring existing asset values despite a recent softening in building pace. Within the pipeline, 26.0% detached dwellings contrast with 74.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density formats delivers accessible pricing thresholds for downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors alike. It also marks a marked departure from the existing profile (currently 73.0% houses), reflecting a dwindling volume of development parcels along with changing lifestyle choices and budget considerations. Yielding around 344 people per dwelling approval, the local property landscape demonstrates characteristics of an established market. Projecting forward, Coomera is modeled to absorb an additional 18,439 residents through to 2041 (benchmarked against the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release). If prevailing building trajectories persist, the addition of residential stock could lag demographic expansion, reinforcing price escalation and intensifying purchaser competition.

Designed by Gibson Architects, the facility includes a ground-floor pharmacy, three cafes, and wellness facilities supported by a multi-level basement carpark for over 360 vehicles. It is positioned to serve as a primary private specialist hub adjacent to the future public Coomera Hospital on George Alexander Way.
13,833 residents of Coomera are employed, from a labour force of 14,371. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 75.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 22,538, about 90% 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
A capable local labor pool characterizes Coomera, spanning a range of industries with an unemployment rate of merely 3.7% and annual employment growth estimated at 3.5% through AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, employed locals tally 13,833, keeping unemployment 0.2% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, while labor participation reaches an elevated 75.8% against Regional Qld's 64.2%. Census figures also indicate that a moderate 14.0% of local workers operated from home, though Covid-19 restrictions provide relevant context. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Retail trade represents a notable regional specialization for the district, holding an employment concentration 1.3 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing displays minimal presence, accounting for only 0.2% of Coomera's working population versus 4.5% in Regional Qld. Comparing Census workplace counts against resident numbers suggests that this largely residential setting provides comparatively few employment positions within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 3.5% and the labour force increased by 3.2%, producing a 0.2 percentage points decrease in the jobless rate. In contrast, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the workforce grow by 0.3%, and unemployment climb by 0.1 percentage points. Future staffing demand within Coomera can be evaluated using national industry trajectories from Jobs and Skills Australia published in Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, total employment is anticipated to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry segments vary considerably. Aligning these sectoral projections with Coomera's industry composition suggests local workforce expansion of 6.4% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (a basic weighted projection offered for illustrative context, without factoring in local population variations).

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 — 614 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,225 at the 2021 Census → 24,933 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.
