Bayonet Head has an estimated 3,744 residents, up from 3,272 at the 2021 Census — a change of 472 people, or 14.4%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 83% of areas nationally. 158 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 52.0% of that increase. That puts 715 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
In the suburb of Bayonet Head, the resident count is projected at approximately 3,744 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 3,272 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 472 people (14.4%). AreaSearch arrived at this figure by reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release (which indicated a population of 3,740) alongside 158 validated new addresses logged after the Census benchmark. Consequently, population density sits at 714 persons per square kilometer, matching typical benchmarks across comparable AreaSearch locations.
Surpassing both the wider SA4 region and the local SA3 area (8.9%), the suburb of Bayonet Head established itself as a regional pacesetter with its 14.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census. While every growth component was positive—including overseas migration and natural growth—the primary demographic momentum stemmed from interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 52.0% of total recent gains. To evaluate local trajectory, AreaSearch applies the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections that use 2022 as a starting point. For uncovered SA2 zones and projections extending beyond 2032 across all territories, age cohort growth models from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (anchored in 2022 figures) are applied. Looking ahead, the suburb of Bayonet Head is set to outpace the median growth seen across national regional areas, with SA2 aggregate modelling pointing to an addition of 508 persons by 2041, representing a 13.5% overall rise across the 16 years.

South Regional TAFE - Albany Trade Workshop
New facilities will deliver training in traditional trades and stimulate local economy. The new workshops will replace the campus' existing 50-year old trade facilities.
1,766 residents of Bayonet Head are employed, from a labour force of 1,814. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 59.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 2,851, about 76% 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
A healthy distribution of blue- and white-collar roles characterizes the workforce in the suburb of Bayonet Head, with essential services playing a prominent role and unemployment sitting at a modest 2.6%, according to AreaSearch's statistical area syntheses. In March 2026, employed locals numbered 1,766, with local joblessness tracking 0.9% beneath the 3.5% reported for Regional WA, while labor force participation trails at 59.2% against Regional WA's 65.4%. Census figures recorded just 5.2% of workers operating from home, though pandemic containment measures should be kept in mind. Health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training stand as the top employer categories for local workers.
In particular, retail trade shows distinctive local concentration, capturing a workforce share 1.7 times that of the regional territory. Conversely, the mining sector is notably quiet, engaging just 2.9% of the local workforce compared to 11.7% across Regional WA. Comparing Census workplace tallies against resident counts highlights that this primarily residential locality offers limited on-site employment. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw labour force decreasing by 4.4% while employment declined by 5.7%, resulting in the unemployment rate rise by 1.3 percentage points. This compares to Regional WA, where employment fell by 0.1%, labour force expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Bayonet Head. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Bayonet Head's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account 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 — 158 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,272 at the 2021 Census → 3,744 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 (SAL50082). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
