Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Cooroy

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Cooroy has an estimated 5,647 residents, up from 4,801 at the 2021 Census — a change of 846 people, or 17.6%. Growth has averaged 4.2% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 208 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining ABS demographic updates across the wider territory with verified post-Census address records, the suburb of Cooroy has an estimated population of 5,647 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 846 residents (17.6%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 4,801 people. The figure stems from an estimated resident count of 5,627 established via the ABS ERP data release in June 2025, complemented by 80 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With a density of 207 persons per square kilometer, the locality provides abundant space per resident alongside capacity for subsequent expansion.

The 17.6% rate of expansion recorded in the suburb of Cooroy since the 2021 census outperformed both the SA3 area (8.8%) and the Rest of Qld, establishing it among regional leaders in growth. Net interstate arrivals constituted approximately 72.0% of these demographic additions during recent intervals, though all components—including overseas migration alongside natural increase—positively supported growth. For individual SA2 districts, AreaSearch implements the ABS/Geoscience Australia outlooks published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting baseline. Wherever SA2 areas lack coverage from these datasets, or across projection horizons extending past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2023 from 2021 numbers are incorporated. Because these state forecasts omit cohort breakdowns by age, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 figures) across respective demographic bands. Looking ahead, the suburb of Cooroy is anticipated to register expansion exceeding non-metropolitan medians, with combined SA2 models pointing to an addition of 835 persons by 2041, which represents an overall gain of 14.4% across the 16-year timeframe.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Cooroy

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,715 residents of Cooroy are employed, from a labour force of 2,815. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 58.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% 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 4,470, about 79% 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

Statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch indicate that Cooroy features a capable local workforce distributed across diverse industries, maintaining an unemployment rate of 3.6% alongside steady employment conditions over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, 2,715 residents hold jobs, and the local jobless rate sits 0.4% beneath the 3.9% figure seen across Regional Qld. Labor force participation, however, remains lower at 58.6%, compared with 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records also indicate that 14.0% of local workers performed their duties from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions should be factored in.

Health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade represent the leading employers of local residents. The building sector shows exceptional strength locally, with workforce representation measuring 1.3 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.7% of local employment, well below the 4.5% recorded throughout Regional Qld. A comparison between Census working figures and the resident population highlights a comparatively constrained internal job market within the immediate boundary. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, which were aggregated from broader statistical areas, the labour force grew by 0.6% during the year to March 2026, while employment fell by 0.1%, causing the unemployment rate to increase by 0.6 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% expansion in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Cooroy. These projections span five and ten-year periods and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When applied to Cooroy's employment composition, these industry-specific forecasts indicate that local employment should rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, though this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised 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 — 80 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,801 at the 2021 Census → 5,647 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL30705). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Cooroy suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Cooroy page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Cooroy data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
