Sales Detail
Coopers Plains has an estimated 6,438 residents, up from 5,675 at the 2021 Census — a change of 763 people, or 13.4%. Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years, faster than 81% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 80.0% of that increase. That puts 1,526 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
Following examination of ABS population releases for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Coopers Plains has an estimated population of approximately 6,438 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 763 individuals (13.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 5,675 residents. The calculation is based on a resident population of 6,432, modeled by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, with 30 validated new addresses added after the Census date. This population translates to a density of 1,525 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure for national areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The expansion of 13.4% since the 2021 census paced ahead of both the state and the national benchmark (9.3%), positioning the suburb of Coopers Plains as a regional leader in growth. The main driver of this increase was international migration, which accounted for approximately 80.0% of the total demographic gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For locations lacking this coverage, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland Government issued in 2023 (using 2021 data) are adopted. Because these state-level figures do not specify age brackets, AreaSearch allocates growth weights across age groups using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Future projections suggest that the suburb of Coopers Plains sits within the top tier of analyzed statistical areas for growth, with a projected increase of 1,799 residents by 2041 using aggregated SA2 projections, representing a 27.9% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
216 new dwellings have been approved in Coopers Plains over the past five years, an average of 43 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 84% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 79, running ahead of 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 mapped from local statistical zones, Coopers Plains typically records about 43 new residential approvals annually, translating to an estimated 216 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, there have been 73 approvals registered. An average of 2.7 new inhabitants was recorded per household over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), suggesting robust demand that is likely to bolster home values. The average construction cost of these new dwellings stands at $560,000, showing that developers are prioritizing high-end builds for the premium sector.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $10.8 million during this financial year, pointing to consistent investment in the local business sector. Recent residential construction is composed of 84.0% freestanding homes and 16.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings, preserving the classic low-density feel of the neighborhood which caters to families desiring extra space. Averaging around 219 residents for each approved home, the local sector shows signs of steady development. Demographic estimates suggest Coopers Plains will see its population rise by 1,793 inhabitants by 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If the current rate of construction persists, the volume of new housing might fall short of population demand, potentially intensifying buyer competition and upward price pressure.

3,565 residents of Coopers Plains are employed, from a labour force of 3,757. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 69.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 8,300, about 129% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in crucial service industries, with an unemployment rate of 5.1% and an annual employment growth estimate of 5.8% based on aggregated statistical area statistics compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,565, while the jobless rate stood 0.8% higher than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%. Participation in the labor force aligns closely with the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. According to Census records, a moderate 14.2% of the working population operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. Accommodation & food services shows a strong local concentration, with its share of employment reaching 1.3 times the wider regional average. Conversely, building and construction is less represented, accounting for 5.5% of jobs locally compared to 9.0% across the region. With 1.2 jobs available locally for every working resident at the time of the Census, the neighborhood operates as a employment hub, drawing in commuting workers from neighboring areas. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS data for the broader region show that employment grew by 5.8% over the 12-month period, while the labor force grew by 4.9%, resulting in a 0.8 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. This outpaced Greater Brisbane, where employment rose by 3.2%, the labor force grew by 3.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer a useful framework for understanding future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential expansion. While national jobs are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry weightings directly to the local employment profile indicates a projected local job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this simple weighting model does not account for specific local population growth patterns.

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 — 30 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,675 at the 2021 Census → 6,438 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.
