Sales Detail
Bilingurr has an estimated 1,748 residents, up from 1,540 at the 2021 Census — a change of 208 people, or 13.5%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years, faster than 81% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 52.0% of that increase. That puts 148 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
Based on an evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, combined with fresh street addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Bilingurr is calculated to house approximately 1,748 residents as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 208 people (13.5%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 1,540 individuals. This shift is deduced from a resident population of 1,747, calculated by AreaSearch following an analysis of the ABS June 2025 ERP data release alongside an additional 47 validated new addresses since the Census date. With this population level, the area averages a density ratio of 148 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and potential scope for future construction.
The 13.5% growth rate for the suburb of Bilingurr since the 2021 census outpaced the national average (9.3%) and the Rest of WA, placing the locality among the regional leaders in growth. Population expansion in this area was largely driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 52.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch implements the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and to calculate growth across all locations after 2032, AreaSearch utilizes growth rates by age bracket supplied by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, drawing on 2022 data). Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, a higher than median rate of population growth is anticipated for locations outside capital cities, with the suburb of Bilingurr forecast to expand by 230 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total rise of 13.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
20 new dwellings have been approved in Bilingurr over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential building approvals mapped from statistical division data, the suburb of Bilingurr has averaged approximately 4 new homes approved annually, reaching an estimated total of 20 homes during the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 10 approvals have been documented. With an average of 6.7 new residents per year for each home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is running well ahead of new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new properties carry an average construction value of $501,000, indicating that builders are targeting premium, upscale projects.
Compared against the Rest of WA, the suburb of Bilingurr exhibits 15.0% lower building approval volumes per resident, though it ranks in the 65th percentile of locations nationwide, with construction activity accelerating in recent times. This volume also falls below the national average, pointing to the mature character of the area and potential planning constraints. Furthermore, recent construction has consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the area with a focus on separate homes that attract buyers looking for space. Notably, builders are focusing on traditional houses to a higher degree than the existing stock reflects (84.0% at the Census), showing sustained demand for family dwellings despite density concerns. With approximately 216 people for each building approval, the suburb of Bilingurr shows signs of a market in transition. Looking forward, the suburb of Bilingurr is projected to add 229 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly calculation). While building activity matches these growth projections, purchasers may face increased competition as the population increases.

A business case has been completed and the project remains subject to full funding, detailed design and environmental approvals before construction can commence.
1,037 residents of Bilingurr are employed, from a labour force of 1,058. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 78.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% 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. 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 suburb of Bilingurr features a qualified labor pool, with strong representation in essential service industries, a jobless rate of only 1.9%, and an estimated 2.9% rise in employment over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,037 residents are employed, while the jobless rate sits 1.6% below the Regional WA average of 3.5%, and labor force participation is exceptionally high (78.4% compared to 65.6% in Regional WA). Census data indicates that a modest 7.4% of residents worked from their homes, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and education & training. The area exhibits a strong concentration in health care & social assistance, where the employment share is 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.4% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 9.3% average for Regional WA. Although there are local jobs available within the area, the ratio of Census working population to local population suggests that many residents travel outside the area for employment. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data compiled from broader statistical areas, the year leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 2.9% and the labor force grow by 2.8%, which led to a 0.2 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Regional WA recorded a 0.1% drop in employment alongside a 0.3% increase in the labor force, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point rise in the jobless rate. National employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide further context on potential future demand in the suburb of Bilingurr. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to estimate future employment trends. While total employment across the nation is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment structure of the suburb of Bilingurr suggests that local jobs will rise by 6.7% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization purposes and does not incorporate local population growth estimates).

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 — 47 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,540 at the 2021 Census → 1,748 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 May 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 (SAL50123). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
