Flinders View

An assessment of population growth drivers in Flinders View reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

The population of the Flinders View statistical area (Lv2) was estimated at around 6,383 as of Nov 2025. This figure reflects an increase of 567 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,816. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 6,324 following examination of ABS data up to June 2024, combined with an additional 139 validated new addresses since the Census date.

Interstate migration contributed approximately 66.0% of overall population gains 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 released in 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted. Proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections are applied where state projections lack age category splits. Future population dynamics anticipate a significant increase in the top quartile of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, with the Flinders View (SA2) expected to grow by 1,805 persons to 2041, reflecting an overall increase of 28.6% over the 17-year period.
