Craignish has an estimated 2,381 residents, up from 2,190 at the 2021 Census — a change of 191 people, or 8.7%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 83.0% of that increase. That puts 168 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 Craignish has reached an estimated resident count of around 2,381, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations. This marks an expansion of 191 people (8.7%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,190 people. The updated figure builds upon the June 2025 ABS ERP release indicating 2,334 residents, alongside 19 validated new addresses registered following the Census benchmark. With a population density of 167 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial open space per resident and ample capacity for future development.
Over the preceding ten years, the suburb of Craignish sustained solid demographic momentum, recording a 2.3% compound annual growth rate that outpaced the surrounding SA3 territory. Net interstate migration served as the primary growth engine, delivering approximately 83.0% of recent population additions, while natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Population modelling by AreaSearch draws upon the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) across individual SA2 zones. For periods beyond 2032 or areas omitted from that series, figures incorporate the Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2023 from 2021 data. Because the state-level figures omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age cohort growth weightings with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 figures. Moving forward, the suburb of Craignish is anticipated to exceed regional Australian median growth benchmarks, with aggregated SA2 projections estimating an addition of 489 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 18.6% rise across the 16-year window.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
58 new dwellings have been approved in Craignish over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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
Analysing ABS residential building approvals across local statistical zones, AreaSearch identifies an annual average of approximately 11 approved dwellings in Craignish, yielding an estimated total of 58 homes across the last 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 18 residential approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area recorded an average intake of 6.9 new residents per constructed dwelling annually, demonstrating that buyer demand outpaces new supply and putting upward pressure on local home values. Approved residential projects carry an average expected construction cost of $502,000, aligning with broader regional standards.
Non-residential development remains subdued, with commercial approvals generating $173,000 during the current financial year. Relative to Rest of Qld, residential construction activity in Craignish sits 80.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark. Such restricted dwelling creation frequently intensifies buyer demand and supports pricing across established stock, notwithstanding a recent pickup in building applications. Per-person building activity also trails national averages, indicating an established urban footprint alongside potential planning constraints. Approvals have comprised separate houses exclusively, preserving the low-density landscape oriented around spacious family residences. A ratio of approximately 156 people per building approval highlights the developing nature of the local market. Demographic projections indicate Craignish will absorb an additional 442 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If residential building activity continues at its historical pace, housing creation could trail demographic expansion, intensifying purchaser competition and underpinning further property price appreciation.

1,171 residents of Craignish are employed, from a labour force of 1,205. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 61.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,014, about 85% 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
The local labour market in Craignish features a balanced distribution between professional and vocational occupations, reinforced by substantial representation across essential community services. As of March 2026, the area supports 1,171 employed residents alongside an unemployment rate of 2.8%, which sits 1.1% under the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Estimated local employment expanded by 5.3% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. Overall labour force participation reached 61.2%, trailing the Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Census figures showed 11.4% of workers operating from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during that period may have influenced this outcome.
Health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade represent the leading employment sectors for local residents. The workforce displays an exceptional concentration in health care & social assistance, holding an employment share 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.0% of local workers, well below the 4.5% observed in Regional Qld. A comparison between resident worker tallies and local workplace counts indicates a modest volume of employment opportunities within the immediate boundary. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM data across broader statistical boundaries indicates that in the year ending March 2026, resident employment rose by 5.3% while the local labour force expanded by 3.7%, driving a 1.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Qld experienced 0.1% employment growth, a 0.3% rise in its labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Industry employment outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide long-term visibility for Craignish. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral performance varies. When weighted against the local industry baseline, employment is projected to grow by 6.8% across five years and 14.2% across ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,190 at the 2021 Census → 2,381 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 (SAL30742). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
