Brisbane suburbs with the largest Sikh community
Taigum has the highest concentration, at 8.6% of residents (668 people). Pallara and Runcorn follow. These 15 suburbs came from a field of 150 eligible Brisbane suburbs.
This page ranks Brisbane suburbs by the share of residents who reported their religion as Sikhism in the 2021 Census — a factual look at where the Sikh community is most concentrated, handy if you want gurdwaras nearby. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are ranked.
Shares are the count of Brisbane residents who identified as Sikh divided by the suburb's total population, from the ABS 2021 Census religious-affiliation table — the same figures shown on each suburb page. Percentile ranks are computed within Brisbane's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs. Answering the census religion question is voluntary, so true shares may run slightly higher than reported. This is descriptive demographic information, not a recommendation.

Common questions about this ranking
Which Brisbane suburbs have the largest Sikh community?
Taigum has the highest concentration, at 8.6% of residents (668 people). Pallara and Runcorn follow. These 15 suburbs came from a field of 150 eligible Brisbane suburbs. In Brisbane suburbs of 2,000+ residents, 0.9% of people identified as Sikh (2021 Census).
How is this ranking put together?
Each Brisbane suburb is ranked by the share of its residents who identified as Sikh in the 2021 Census — that group's count divided by the suburb's total population. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are included, and percentile ranks are computed within Brisbane's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs.
Where does the data come from?
The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census, which asks every resident an optional question on religious affiliation. We use the published suburb-level counts — the same figures shown in the religion breakdown on each suburb page. Nothing is estimated or inferred about any individual.
Why would someone use this list?
People relocating often want to settle near an established community and its amenities — places of worship, cultural grocers, schools, and social networks. This is a factual demographic snapshot to help with that. It isn't a judgement about any suburb, and it isn't a recommendation to seek out or avoid anywhere.
How current is it?
The figures are from the 2021 Census, the most recent available until results from the August 2026 Census are released in 2027. The top 15 is recomputed whenever we refresh the census data.
