Sales Detail
Baldivis has an estimated 50,306 residents, up from 37,697 at the 2021 Census — a change of 12,609 people, or 33.4%. Growth has averaged 5.3% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 3,576 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 43.0% of that increase. That puts 576 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population releases alongside post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Baldivis has reached an estimated resident total of approximately 50,306 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 12,609 people (33.4%) compared to the 37,697 individuals enumerated during the 2021 Census. The updated calculation builds upon an estimated resident population of 49,169 established via ABS ERP figures published in June 2025, combined with 3,576 newly validated residential addresses registered after the Census benchmark. With a population density sitting at 576 persons per square kilometer, the suburb maintains generous space per capita and substantial capacity for additional growth.
Surpassing both the Western Australian benchmark and the 9.5% national pace, the 33.4% expansion recorded since the 2021 Census establishes the suburb of Baldivis as an outstanding regional growth pocket. Inward migration from other states served as the principal catalyst, generating roughly 43.0% of recent population gains, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections for the suburb of Baldivis incorporate the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (using 2022 as its baseline), supplemented beyond 2032 and across any unrepresented SA2s by ABS Greater Capital Region age-cohort trends released in 2023 from 2022 benchmarks. Forward-looking demographic projections position the suburb of Baldivis within the highest quartile nationwide for anticipated expansion, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting a gain of 14,525 persons through to 2041, which represents an overall increase of 26.6% across the 16-year horizon.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
4,325 new dwellings have been approved in Baldivis over the past five years, an average of 865 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 967 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1,274, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across local statistical boundaries indicates that Baldivis has maintained an average approval rate of approximately 865 residential dwellings annually, culminating in 4,325 approved homes over the preceding 5 financial years. The current FY-25 period has already generated 1,274 residential approvals. Residential construction shows an average expected build cost of $376,000 per dwelling, consistent with regional development benchmarks, underpinned by solid demand that has seen 2.3 additional residents per approved home per year across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $5.8 million during this financial year, reflecting a modest commercial development footprint.
On a per-capita basis, residential building approvals in Baldivis outpace Greater Perth by 133.0%, providing purchasers with extensive options. This volume tracks well above nationwide benchmarks and underscores substantial interest from residential developers. Detached houses account for 97.0% of recent approvals while apartments and townhouses constitute 3.0%, reinforcing the low-density suburban layout preferred by purchasers seeking larger blocks. A ratio of around 40 people per building approval highlights the continuing development trajectory of the area. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Baldivis is projected to absorb an additional 13,388 residents through to 2041. Ongoing rates of residential development indicate that the local construction pipeline should adequately accommodate this influx, maintaining favorable supply dynamics for homebuyers and creating scope to surpass current baseline population projections.

25,930 residents of Baldivis are employed, from a labour force of 27,034. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 71.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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 40,401, about 80% 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
Baldivis maintains an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by solid representation across vital service industries and a local unemployment rate of 4.1%, according to aggregated statistical district data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents total 25,930, keeping the local jobless rate 0.1% beneath the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%, while local labour force participation closely tracks the metropolitan level of 69.9%. Census records indicate that 6.8% of local workers performed their duties from home, noting the potential influence of Covid-19 restrictions during that period. Retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance represent the predominant sources of employment for local residents.
The mining sector features prominently, employing workers at 1.4 times the metropolitan average rate. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 4.7% of the local workforce compared to 8.2% across Greater Perth. A comparison between local worker counts and the resident labour force from the Census highlights that the locality remains largely residential with limited local employment hubs. Over the preceding 12-month period, aggregated SALM and ABS figures evaluated by AreaSearch show that the local labour force contracted by 0.9% alongside a 1.6% drop in employment, lifting the jobless rate by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth achieved 2.0% employment growth and a 2.5% expansion in its labour force, alongside a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide a framework for future workforce requirements across Baldivis. While nationwide workforce growth is projected at 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry trajectories vary widely. When weighted across the specific industry distribution of Baldivis, local employment is projected to expand by 5.9% across five years and 12.7% over ten years, assuming uniform industry-level growth without localized population adjustments.

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 — 3,576 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (37,697 at the 2021 Census → 50,306 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL50054). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
