Shares are the count of Sunshine Coast residents who identified as Hindu divided by the suburb's total population, from the ABS 2021 Census religious-affiliation table — the same figures shown on each suburb page.

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.
