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
Brentwood (WA) has an estimated 2,275 residents, up from 2,153 at the 2021 Census — a change of 122 people, or 5.7%. Overseas migration accounts for 77.0% of that increase. That puts 2,556 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Brentwood's population is estimated at around 2,275 as of Aug 26. This reflects an increase of 122 people (5.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,153 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,250, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 1 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,556 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 77.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including interstate migration and natural growth were positive factors. Projections for the suburb of Brentwood (WA) incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data configured with a 2022 baseline for individual SA2 units. For unrepresented sectors and modeling beyond 2032, AreaSearch applies age-group trajectory rates from the 2023 Greater Capital Region forecasts (using 2022 benchmarks). Looking forward, population gains for the suburb of Brentwood (WA) are anticipated to exceed the national statistical area median, expanding by 267 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, which translates to a total rise of 10.6% across the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
51 new dwellings have been approved in Brentwood (WA) over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 4.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, 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 area records processed by AreaSearch indicate that residential building approvals in Brentwood have run at approximately 10 dwellings annually, accumulating to around 51 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 1 approvals have been documented. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, incoming population averaged 0.7 new residents per approved dwelling, demonstrating that construction volume is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, thereby expanding prospective buyer choice and supporting potential population expansion beyond baseline expectations. Furthermore, an average construction value of $1,109,000 per dwelling underscores a developer emphasis on high-end, premium residential projects, while non-residential activity remains minimal with $256,000 in commercial approvals during the current financial year.
Per capita residential construction in Brentwood trails Greater Perth by 11.0% and sits within the 8th percentile nationally, a dynamic that constrains supply while bolstering interest in existing housing stock. Recent building approvals are split between 30.0% standalone homes and 70.0% attached dwellings, offering practical pathways for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This pivot toward higher-density building contrasts sharply with the established stock of 69.0% houses, reflecting both land availability constraints and shifting lifestyle and affordability demands. A ratio of approximately 2238 residents per dwelling approval highlights a highly established, mature residential setting. Projections indicate that Brentwood will welcome an additional 242 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly benchmark. If existing building trends continue, upcoming residential supply is poised to satisfy housing needs, creating favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population growth above projected rates.

1,133 residents of Brentwood (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,189. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 64.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,856, about 82% 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
Brentwood features an exceptionally qualified labor pool with a noticeable concentration in corporate and technical services, recording an unemployment rate of 4.7% per AreaSearch aggregated metrics. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,133, while the local jobless rate sits 0.5% higher than the 4.2% reported for Greater Perth. Workforce involvement is comparatively subdued at 64.8%, lagging the metropolitan benchmark of 69.9%. In addition, Census records show that only 9.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related restrictions. Local employment is heavily oriented toward the sectors of health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The locality exhibits a pronounced concentration in professional & technical professions, where resident participation is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the construction sector accounts for a smaller footprint at 7.1%, compared with 9.3% across the wider region. Comparing local working-population figures with resident totals indicates that this primarily residential neighborhood provides comparatively few jobs within its own boundaries. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 3.9% alongside a 4.9% decline in total employment, pushing unemployment up by 1.0 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% rise in employment and a 2.5% expansion in its labor force, with its unemployment rate edging up by 0.4 percentage points. Applying national industry outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia (dated Mar-26)—which project economy-wide job growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—to the local occupational profile indicates potential employment increases of 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (representing a weighted baseline calculation that does not incorporate specific local demographic forecasts).

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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,153 at the 2021 Census → 2,275 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 (SAL50178). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
