Corinda

Population growth drivers in Corinda are strong compared to national averages based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Corinda's population, as of November 2025, is estimated at around 5,992 people. This figure reflects an increase of 437 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,555 people. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 5,841 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, along with an additional 110 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,977 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Corinda's growth rate of 7.9% since the census is within 1.0 percentage points of the national average (8.9%), indicating competitive growth fundamentals. Overseas migration was primarily responsible for population growth in the area during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 based on 2021 data are used. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits; thus, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 and based on 2022 data for each age cohort. Future population dynamics anticipate a growth just below the median of Australian statistical areas, with the suburb expected to grow by 775 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 10.8% in total over the 17 years.
