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.

Sales Detail
Currimundi has an estimated 6,825 residents, up from 6,570 at the 2021 Census — a change of 255 people, or 3.9%. That puts 1,885 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 demographic statistics gathered by AreaSearch from ABS records and recently confirmed locations, the suburb of Currimundi contains approximately 6,825 residents as of May 2026. Since the 2021 Census, which documented 6,570 individuals, this represents a growth of 255 people (3.9%). The adjustment is based on a resident count of 6,822 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, combined with 22 validated new addresses registered after the census. The local density reaches 1,885 persons per square kilometer, a concentration that exceeds the typical level observed in locations analyzed by AreaSearch nationwide.
Net gains were almost exclusively produced by overseas arrival patterns, which served as the primary engine for recent growth. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia geographic modeling published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For regions omitted from this dataset or periods extending past 2032, Queensland Government projections from 2023 utilizing 2021 baselines are substituted. Because these state-level figures do not delineate age cohorts, AreaSearch distributes growth using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (anchored to 2022 baseline records) for individual age brackets. Future expansion is expected to align with the lower quartile of non-metropolitan growth across Australia, with the local population projected to rise by 104 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 models, representing an overall increase of 1.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
63 new dwellings have been approved in Currimundi over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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 analysis of municipal building registries, the suburb of Currimundi averages approximately 12 residential approvals each year, accumulating to 63 built structures over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, authorities have logged 22 approvals. The ratio of incoming population to new construction averaged 1.4 residents for every dwelling completed between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating a stable equilibrium between buyer demand and housing starts. Newly constructed properties carry an average estimated construction cost of $668,000, illustrating an investment focus directed at the higher-tier residential market. Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $10.4 million have been documented during this financial year, pointing to steady business development.
In comparison to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Currimundi exhibits a substantial reduction in building starts, registering 87.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark. This constrained supply pipeline tends to bolster demand and support valuations for the existing housing stock. This volume is similarly subdued when compared against national averages, signifying a mature market with potential geographic limits to expansion. Recent approvals consist of 62.0% standalone houses and 38.0% multi-dwelling options like townhouses or units, offering a wider range of price options for families and individuals. This marks a notable shift from the historical distribution of 82.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of greenfield sites and responding to changing household budgets and preferences. There are approximately 453 residents for every new dwelling approval, typical of an established community. Long-term projections indicate that the suburb of Currimundi will add 101 residents by 2041 according to recent quarterly modeling. Given the current pace of construction, the supply of new properties is anticipated to meet demand, supporting favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth beyond standard projections.

Nicklin Way Residential Development
A residential development featuring 89 multiple dwelling units (likely townhouses) on a 1.5-hectare site with development approval, positioned in a growth corridor near Kawana Shoppingworld and beaches.
3,256 residents of Currimundi are employed, from a labour force of 3,402. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 59.2%. 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 6,261, about 92% 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 labor pool is characterized by qualified workers and solid representation in service industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.3%. As of March 2026, there are 3,256 employed residents. The jobless rate sits 0.4% higher than the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, and participation levels are considerably lower, standing at 59.2% compared to 64.3% across Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a modest 12.7% of workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by public health restrictions. The primary employment fields for residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The local workforce shows a strong concentration in building trades, employing residents at 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, primary industries like agriculture, forestry & fishing account for only 0.9% of workers, compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. The area is highly residential, with local employment opportunities appearing relatively scarce when comparing the count of local jobs against the resident workforce. Analysis of statistical area records indicates that the labor force shrank by 2.2% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 3.0%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.8 percentage points. This divergence from Regional Qld is notable, where employment ticked up by 0.1%, the labor force expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future employment pathways. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to local data to map potential growth. While nationwide employment is modeled to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion varies widely by industry sector. Adjusting for the local industry mix, employment among residents is projected to grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic proportional estimate that excludes local population adjustments.

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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,570 at the 2021 Census → 6,825 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL30773). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
