Corinda

Population growth drivers in Corinda are above average based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Corinda's population, as estimated by AreaSearch using ABS data and new addresses validated since the 2021 Census, was around 6,010 in November 2025. This reflects a growth of 455 people (8.2%) from the previous count of 5,555 in the Corinda statistical area (Lv2). The increase is inferred from AreaSearch's estimated resident population of 5,857 based on ABS ERP data released in June 2024 and an additional 110 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,983 persons per square kilometer, higher than the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Corinda (SA2) experienced an 8.2% growth rate since the census, close to the national average of 9.7%, indicating strong growth fundamentals. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population gains in recent periods for this area.

For projections, AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a base year of 2022 for SA2 areas covered by this data and Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data for areas not covered or years post-2032. Age category splits are applied proportionally using ABS Greater Capital Region projections when state projections lack age-specific details. Future population dynamics project a median-level increase, with the Corinda (SA2) expected to grow by 780 persons to reach approximately 6,790 by 2041, reflecting a total gain of 10.6% over the 17-year period.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Corinda when compared nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates Corinda recorded approximately 50 residential properties granted approval annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, around 251 homes were approved, with an additional 31 approved in FY-26. Over these five financial years, an average of 1.4 new residents arrived per new home built.

This suggests a balanced supply and demand, maintaining stable market conditions. The average construction cost value for new dwellings was $820,000, indicating developers target the premium market segment. In FY-26, $4.9 million in commercial development approvals were recorded, suggesting limited focus on commercial development. New developments consist of 29.0% detached dwellings and 71.0% attached dwellings, reflecting a trend towards denser development to cater to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers.

This shift contrasts with the current housing mix of 69.0% houses. Corinda has approximately 149 people per approval, indicating it is a developing area. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Corinda is expected to grow by 635 residents by 2041. Given current development patterns, new housing supply should meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond projections.
