This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Booragoon has an estimated 7,126 residents, up from 5,684 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,442 people, or 25.4%. Growth has averaged 3.8% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 134 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 77.0% of that increase. That puts 2,329 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 Booragoon has an estimated resident count of roughly 7,126, drawing from AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS demographic updates alongside validated new addresses recorded following the Census. This represents an addition of 1,442 people (25.4%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 5,684 people. Such growth is deduced from the 7,063 resident figure determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 134 validated new addresses post-Census. With these numbers, the suburb of Booragoon records a population density of 2,328 persons per square kilometer, sitting higher than the typical benchmark across nationwide areas monitored by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the broader SA3 territory and the 9.5% national benchmark, the suburb of Booragoon's 25.4% expansion since the 2021 census highlights its status as a premier regional growth hub. Net overseas migration served as the primary catalyst by delivering roughly 77.0% of these recent population additions, though natural increase and interstate arrivals also contributed positively. To evaluate demographic trajectories, AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level figures founded on 2022 base data, switching to the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region cohort-specific projections (derived from 2022 data) for remaining locations and post-2032 modeling. Over the coming years, the suburb of Booragoon is projected to maintain growth exceeding the median across Australian statistical areas. By 2041, aggregated SA2 projections indicate an increase of 1,119 persons for the suburb of Booragoon, delivering an overall rise of 14.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
426 new dwellings have been approved in Booragoon over the past five years, an average of 85 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 51% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 39, well below 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 records from ABS building approval data analyzed by AreaSearch show that Booragoon has averaged approximately 85 residential approvals per year. Across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), a total of 426 homes were approved, with 39 logged to date in FY-25. With an average influx of 6.3 new residents annually per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), housing demand heavily exceeds supply, creating intense buyer competition and upward pricing pressure. Furthermore, newly constructed residences carry an average construction cost of $1,109,000, underscoring a developer focus on high-tier, premium housing projects.
The predominantly residential character of the suburb is further evidenced by just $1.7 million in approved commercial construction this financial year. Per-capita building activity in Booragoon outpaces Greater Perth (tracking 11.0% above the wider region's 5 year average), preserving healthy supply for purchasers while underpinning established real estate values. Recent development activity is balanced between 51.0% standalone houses and 49.0% attached homes, demonstrating a rising volume of medium-density formats that diversify local price points with accessible alternatives alongside traditional family residences. This marks an evolution from the existing built environment (where detached houses comprise 68.0%), pointing to constraints on vacant land and shifting buyer requirements for varied housing types. Overall, the locality registers around 189 people per dwelling approval, highlighting a growing residential sector. Looking toward 2041, Booragoon is projected to add 1,056 residents based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity maintains its current pace, incoming residential construction is well positioned to satisfy demand, fostering favorable buying environments and potentially facilitating gains beyond baseline demographic forecasts.

3,738 residents of Booragoon are employed, from a labour force of 3,845. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 64.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 9,028, about 127% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Local workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch highlights a well-qualified local employment base with notable standing in professional sectors, steady employment figures over the prior twelve months, and an unemployment rate of only 2.8%. In March 2026, employed residents reached 3,738, with local unemployment tracking 1.4% lower than Greater Perth's 4.2% rate, while overall workforce engagement is slightly subdued at 64.9% versus 69.9% across Greater Perth. At the Census, a modest 11.9% of workers conducted their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions should be factored into this figure. Health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical disciplines represent the primary employment sectors for local residents.
Booragoon shows particular concentration in professional & technical fields, where representation reaches 1.4 times regional levels. Conversely, the construction industry plays a smaller role, engaging 7.1% of working residents compared with 9.3% across the wider region. Hosting 1.1 workers for every resident at the Census, the locality serves as a major employment center that draws in personnel from surrounding suburbs. SALM and ABS datasets assessed by AreaSearch across surrounding statistical boundaries show that during the twelve months to March 2026, local employment ticked up 0.4% while the labor pool expanded 0.9%, raising the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% employment lift, a 2.5% labor force enlargement, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader perspective on future workforce requirements in Booragoon can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment outlooks. When applying these national multi-sector expectations—which anticipate overall gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—to the local industry breakdown, Booragoon's employment count is modeled to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (representing a simplified weighted scenario for indicative review rather than a localized population-linked model).

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 — 134 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,684 at the 2021 Census → 7,126 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.
