DemographicsPopulation Growth in Currumbin

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Currumbin has an estimated 3,406 residents, up from 3,278 at the 2021 Census — a change of 128 people, or 3.9%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. That puts 1,670 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

Following assessment of recent ABS population statistics alongside address validations compiled by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Currumbin has a residency count projected at approximately 3,406 by May 2026. This represents a growth of 128 people (3.9%) relative to the 2021 Census record of 3,278 people. This trajectory is calculated from a base of 3,382 residents tracked by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures, coupled with 34 validated new addresses added after the Census date. With these numbers, the residential density stands at 1,669 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.

The expansion was largely fueled by arrivals from abroad, which represented roughly 78.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. Future trends are modeled on the SA2 regional estimates published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point. Where these figures are unavailable or when projecting beyond 2032, state-level SA2 projections issued by the Queensland Government in 2023 utilizing 2021 data are substituted. Since the state datasets omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth using weightings derived from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region forecasts based on 2022 baseline records. Over the long term, expansion is set to surpass the median rate observed in regional Australia, with projections showing the suburb of Currumbin adding 443 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 12.3% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Currumbin

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

52 new dwellings have been approved in Currumbin over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with 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

Analysis of statistical building indicators indicates that the suburb of Currumbin has averaged 10 new dwelling approvals per year, summing to 52 homes during the previous 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 11 approvals have been registered. Given that 1.5 new residents arrived per completed home annually from FY-21 to FY-25, the local residential market has shown balanced conditions, though a shift to 6.5 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years points to escalating demand pressures and a narrowing pipeline. Approved projects carry a median construction value of $1,457,000, illustrating a clear developer pivot toward high-end residential builds.

Meanwhile, commercial project approvals reached $250,000 this financial year, emphasizing the suburb's residential focus. Residential building output in the suburb of Currumbin is notably quiet compared to wider Queensland, trailing the regional per capita benchmark by 68.0%. This muted supply pipeline typically supports valuations and demand for established dwellings. The build rate also lags behind national trends, reflecting local land limitations and neighborhood maturity. Low-density detached houses constitute 10.0% of current activity, while the remaining 90.0% consists of semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density options offers budget-friendly pathways and attracts downsizing residents, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a significant shift from the current layout of 46.0% houses, showing a shortage of vacant parcels and reflecting modern lifestyle trends. With 843 people per single dwelling approval, the market remains highly established. Long-range forecasts estimate that the suburb of Currumbin will gain 419 residents by 2041, based on recent quarterly modeling. If construction rates remain at current levels, housing additions will fail to match this population expansion, potentially heightening competition among buyers and supporting property values.

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 — 34 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,278 at the 2021 Census → 3,406 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 (SAL30774). 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 Currumbin 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 Currumbin 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 Currumbin 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Apr 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 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.
