Sales Detail
Ardross has an estimated 6,094 residents, up from 4,578 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,516 people, or 33.1%. Growth has averaged 5.2% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 2,697 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Ardross has an estimated population of 6,094, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates with 84 validated new addresses added since the Census date. This represents an addition of 1,516 people (33.1%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 4,578 people, building on an estimated resident population of 6,007 determined after the ABS released its latest ERP figures in June 2025. With a population density of 2,696 persons per square kilometer, the locality sits in the upper quartile across nationwide areas reviewed by AreaSearch.
Outperforming both the SA3 area and the national average (9.5%), the suburb of Ardross established itself as a regional growth leader through its 33.1% expansion since the 2021 census. This population surge was largely propelled by overseas migration, which made up approximately 82.0% of recent population gains. For local demographic projections, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline across each SA2 area. To capture post-2032 trends and account for any unrepresented SA2 areas, age-cohort growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (utilising 2022 data) are applied. Anticipated demographic shifts suggest population expansion for the suburb of Ardross will track just underneath the national median, gaining 647 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, which corresponds to an overall increase of 9.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
224 new dwellings have been approved in Ardross over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That places the area in the 90th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 28% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 58, running ahead of 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
Dwelling approval figures from the ABS, compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area data, show that Ardross has averaged approximately 44 dwellings approved annually, amounting to an estimated 224 homes over the last 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 58 approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area recorded an average of 5 new residents yearly for each home constructed across the 5 financial years, creating an environment where demand outpaces newly approved stock, typically intensifying buyer competition and upward pricing pressure. Residential builds carry an average expected construction cost of $908,000, underscoring developer emphasis on upmarket, higher-tier residences.
Furthermore, the recording of $9.3 million in commercial approvals during this financial year highlights a moderate pace of non-residential development. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Ardross is 98.0% higher than Greater Perth, maintaining an above-average pace nationally that signals robust developer confidence, even though the rate of building has moderated recently. High-density and medium-density development leads recent activity, with attached dwellings accounting for 72.0% of new construction compared to 28.0% for standalone homes. This shift presents accessible options for entry-level buyers, downsizers, and investors, while representing a notable pivot away from the existing fabric of 80.0% houses. Such densification reflects diminishing supplies of vacant land alongside changing lifestyle and affordability requirements. With roughly 128 people per approval, Ardross continues to display characteristics of an expanding urban locality. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Ardross is projected to add 560 residents by 2041. Given ongoing construction patterns, the future supply of residential dwellings appears well positioned to satisfy incoming demand, establishing favourable buying conditions and creating potential for residential expansion beyond established projections.

3,254 residents of Ardross are employed, from a labour force of 3,325. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 6,595, about 108% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce in Ardross is distinguished by high qualification levels, substantial representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of merely 2.1%, and an estimated 1.7% increase in employment over the preceding year, based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, 3,254 residents were employed, while the local jobless rate sat 2.1% lower than the 4.2% observed across Greater Perth. Labour force participation stood at 66.9%, slightly below the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. At the Census, only 13.3% of workers indicated working from home, a metric that may have been influenced by Covid-19 lockdown measures.
The primary industry sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. Concentration is exceptionally pronounced in professional & technical fields, where workforce participation tracks at 1.7 times the broader regional benchmark. In contrast, construction engages 6.6% of local workers, trailing the regional standard of 9.3%. A Census ratio of 0.7 workers per resident points to local job availability that exceeds standard levels. An evaluation of ABS and SALM figures compiled by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12 months leading to March 2026, Ardross recorded a 1.7% rise in employment alongside a 1.8% increase in the labour force, leading to a 0.1 percentage points uptick in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment and labour force gains of 2.0% and 2.5% respectively, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point increase in joblessness. Further direction on workforce demand is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, employment is predicted to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with trends varying by sector. When mapped against the local industry profile in Ardross, these forecasts indicate projected employment growth of 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (calculated as a weighted industry extrapolation for illustrative purposes without incorporating 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 — 84 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,578 at the 2021 Census → 6,094 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 Aug 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.
