Sales Detail
Bertram has an estimated 7,298 residents, up from 6,196 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,102 people, or 17.8%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 45.0% of that increase. That puts 2,409 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 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%). This metric builds upon an estimated resident population of 7,232 identified by AreaSearch from the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), coupled with 2 validated new addresses registered following the Census. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
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.

3,744 residents of Bertram are employed, from a labour force of 3,975. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 73.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 5,685, about 78% 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
Aggregated statistical figures from AreaSearch show that Bertram maintains a capable workforce with pronounced representation in manufacturing and industrial occupations, alongside a jobless rate of 5.8%. As of March 2026, employed residents count 3,744 individuals, with unemployment tracking 1.6% higher than the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Workforce engagement is relatively steady, recording a participation rate of 73.0% against 69.9% across Greater Perth. In the Census, a modest 4.7% of working residents reported working from home, though these figures were captured amid Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers comprise health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Transport, postal & warehousing constitutes a notable regional specialization, recording an employment share 1.7 times the broader metropolitan average. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 4.9% of local jobs compared to 8.2% across the wider region. An assessment of Census resident numbers versus locally based workers suggests that this predominantly residential district provides comparatively few local workplace opportunities. According to AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures aggregated across wider statistical areas, the 12 months to March 2026 saw Bertram's labor force contract by 3.6% alongside a 4.4% decline in employed persons, leading to a 0.8 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. Conversely, Greater Perth saw employment lift by 2.0%, the labor pool grow by 2.5%, and unemployment increase by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking workforce expectations are detailed in Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, job numbers are modeled to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by industry. Applying these sectoral outlooks to Bertram's resident industry composition yields a projected local job growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (calculated via standard weighting for illustrative context, without factoring in localized demographic changes).

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.
