Natural increase accounts for 52.0% of that increase. That puts 148 residents on each square kilometre.

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.

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.

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).

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years.

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.

Common questions about this page

How do Bilingurr 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 Bilingurr 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 Bilingurr 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 (Jun 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 May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Jul 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.
