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.

Detail
According to evaluations of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Kingscliff has a population estimated at approximately 8,636 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 281 people (3.4%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 8,355 people. The variation is derived from the resident population of 8,597, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) combined with an additional 266 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level represents a density ratio of 1,375 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the average across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Throughout the last ten years, the suburb of Kingscliff has shown steady growth trends with a 1.6% compound annual growth rate, faster than the SA3 area. Population expansion for the area was chiefly supported by overseas migration, which served as practically the sole source of population gains during recent times. AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas lacking this data, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections published in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future population trends, an above median population growth of Australian non-metropolitan areas is projected, with the suburb of Kingscliff anticipated to expand by 1,710 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 19.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
321 new dwellings have been approved in Kingscliff over the past five years, an average of 64 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 64 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 53% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 50, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Kingscliff has averaged approximately 64 new dwelling approvals per year, with an estimated 321 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 46 so far in FY-26. With an average of only one new resident per year arriving per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the new supply matches or exceeds demand, offering buyers plenty of choices and creating capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $1,037,000, showing a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
There have also been $511.7 million in commercial approvals this financial year, showing high levels of local commercial activity. Compared to Rest of NSW, Kingscliff shows 150.0% higher development activity (per person), which should provide buyers with ample choice. New development consists of 53.0% standalone homes and 47.0% attached dwellings, showing an expanding range of medium-density options creating a mix of opportunities across price brackets, from traditional family housing to more affordable compact alternatives. At around 122 people per approval, Kingscliff reflects a low density area. Looking ahead, Kingscliff is expected to grow by 1,671 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Current development appears well-matched to future needs, supporting steady market conditions without extreme price pressure.

4,080 residents of Kingscliff are employed, from a labour force of 4,157. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 57.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,180, about 83% 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
Kingscliff features a highly educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of just 1.9%, and 3.3% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,080 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.3% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (57.4% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 23.6% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Leading employment industries among residents comprise health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The area has particular employment specialization in professional & technical, with an employment share of 1.7 times the regional level. On the other hand, agriculture, forestry & fishing is under-represented, with only 1.2% of Kingscliff's workforce compared to 5.3% in Regional NSW. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels increased by 3.3% and labour force increased by 3.7%, resulting in unemployment rise by 0.3 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional NSW, where employment contracted by 0.9%, the labour force fell by 0.4%, and unemployment rose 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Kingscliff. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Kingscliff's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 7.0% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 266 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,355 at the 2021 Census → 8,636 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.
