Detail

As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Bertram is estimated to have a population of approximately 7,298, drawing on AreaSearch analysis of ABS population updates across the wider district alongside new addresses validated since the Census. When compared against the 2021 Census tally of 6,196 people, this represents an addition of 1,102 people (17.8%).

The suburb of Bertram shows a population density of 2,408 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile among all nationally evaluated areas by AreaSearch.

Outpacing the Australian nationwide average of 9.5% as well as state benchmarks, the 17.8% expansion recorded since the 2021 census establishes the suburb of Bertram as an area growth leader. Inward interstate migration served as the principal driver of this expansion, accounting for roughly 45.0% of recent population additions, while natural increase and overseas migration likewise made positive contributions. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 using 2022 as a base year form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. For locations outside this coverage or projections extending beyond 2032, growth rates broken down by age brackets from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (utilizing 2022 data) are applied. In terms of forward-looking demographic trajectory, the suburb of Bertram is slated for top-quartile national expansion, with consolidated SA2 data indicating an expected gain of 2,824 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 37.8% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bertram

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

63 new dwellings have been approved in Bertram over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 88% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 63, 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

Statistical evaluations by AreaSearch from ABS building approvals indicate that Bertram has averaged roughly 12 dwellings approved per annum, reaching a total of approximately 63 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, approvals stand at 63. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 6.1 people moved into the locality annually for every newly constructed residence, creating a situation where incoming resident demand substantially outpaces building supply—a trend typically fostering price escalation and tighter buyer competition—with newly approved residences averaging $385,000 in construction value. Building volumes in Bertram sit substantially behind Greater Perth, trailing the regional per-capita norm by 74.0%.

Although construction has picked up momentum in recent times, such subdued new supply generally heightens competition and underpins values for established dwellings. The mix of new building activity is composed of 88.0% detached houses and 12.0% attached dwellings, preserving the traditional suburban character and catering to family buyers in search of spacious living. An expanding property market is further demonstrated by a ratio of approximately 114 people per dwelling approval. According to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Bertram is set to add 2,758 residents through to 2041. Should building delivery persist at current paces, residential additions could fall short of demographic expansion, which may intensify competition among prospective purchasers and reinforce upward pricing pressures.

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,196 at the 2021 Census → 7,298 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 (SAL50115). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Bertram suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Bertram page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Bertram data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
