This figure reflects an increase of 105 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 6,590 people in the suburb.

Overseas migration contributed approximately 54.0% to overall population gains in recent periods. AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are used, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. However, these state projections lack age category splits; thus, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort. Future population projections indicate lower quartile growth, with Sinnamon Park expected to expand by 234 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total gain of 4.4% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Sinnamon Park, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Sinnamon Park had approximately 13 new homes approved annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, around 68 homes were approved, with another three approved in FY26 so far. On average, each new home brought in about 0.8 new residents per year over these five years, indicating that new construction is keeping pace with demand and offering more options for buyers while supporting population growth.

The average value of new dwellings was $669,000, suggesting developers are targeting the premium market with high-end developments. This financial year has seen $95,000 in commercial approvals, indicating limited commercial development activity compared to Greater Brisbane, where Sinnamon Park has 121.0% more construction activity per person. However, recent construction activity has eased slightly. The area's established nature is also reflected in its population density of approximately 2240 people per dwelling approval. New development consists of 20.0% detached houses and 80.0% attached dwellings, marking a shift from the area's existing housing composition of 86.0% houses. This trend towards denser development caters to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers, providing more affordable options. By 2041, Sinnamon Park is projected to gain around 292 residents based on AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate.

With current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
