DemographicsPopulation Growth in Bulgarra

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Bulgarra has an estimated 3,392 residents, up from 2,990 at the 2021 Census — a change of 402 people, or 13.4%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years, faster than 81% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 64.0% of that increase. That puts 731 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail

Analyzing population updates from the ABS alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census shows that the population of the suburb of Bulgarra is roughly 3,392 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 402 residents (13.4%) compared to the 2,990 people recorded in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch calculated this updated figure of 3,392 by studying the ABS's June 2025 ERP release and incorporating 8 validated new addresses since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 731 persons per square kilometer, matching typical averages found in other AreaSearch investigations.

Bulgarra's 13.4% expansion rate since the 2021 Census outpaced the 9.3% national average and the Rest of WA, positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. Natural increase was the main demographic engine, accounting for approximately 64.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. Where such data is unavailable, or to model growth beyond 2032, growth rates by age bracket from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data) are utilized. Looking ahead at demographic developments, Bulgarra is projected to experience growth slightly under the median for regional Australia, with SA2 forecasts pointing to an addition of 234 residents by 2041, which translates to a overall increase of 6.9% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bulgarra

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

25 new dwellings have been approved in Bulgarra over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, 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

Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, the suburb of Bulgarra has averaged approximately 5 new residential approvals yearly, accumulating to an estimated 25 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 28 approvals have been registered. Given that 12.9 people moved to the area for every finished home annually between FY-21 and FY-25, demand remains far ahead of supply, which generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition. Developers are targeting the high-end sector, with new dwellings carrying an average construction cost of $752,000.

In addition, commercial approvals valued at $57,000 were recorded this financial year, reflecting a very quiet period for commercial construction. In comparison to the Rest of WA, building activity in Bulgarra is notably depressed, running 54.0% below the regional per capita average. This constrained supply pipeline typically bolsters values and demand for existing houses. The construction rate is also lower than the national benchmark, suggesting a mature market and potential development limits. Furthermore, all recent building permits have been for detached houses, preserving the established low-density layout that attracts residents looking for larger family properties. Developers are prioritizing houses more than the existing residential makeup (which was 76.0% at the Census), showing sustained demand for traditional houses. The presence of 1337 residents per approved dwelling reflects the subdued development environment. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Bulgarra will add 234 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. Current building volumes are keeping pace moderately well with this projected expansion, although buyers may encounter tougher competition as the population rises.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Bulgarra

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,127 residents of Bulgarra are employed, from a labour force of 2,170. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 79.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.2% 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 2,374, about 70% 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

Mining represents a major regional specialization, with its share of employment reaching 1.9 times the rate of Regional WA. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of the local workforce, well below the 9.3% average for Regional WA. Comparing the number of working residents to local job numbers suggests the area offers relatively few local employment opportunities. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS figures indicates that for the year ending March 2026, the employed population grew by 2.8% and the labor force expanded by 2.9%, leading to a slight 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This compares favorably to Regional WA, where employment fell by 0.1%, the labor force grew by 0.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.4 percentage points. National projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide context for future employment demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate potential growth. Nationally, jobs are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with wide variation between sectors. Mapping these trends to Bulgarra's workforce mix indicates local employment could rise by 5.2% over five years and 11.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration rather than a localized population forecast.

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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,990 at the 2021 Census → 3,392 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 (SAL50200). 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 Bulgarra 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 Bulgarra 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 Bulgarra 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 (May 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.
