Detail
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Burswood is assessed at roughly 3,690, drawn from AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside post-Census address validations. This represents an expansion of 911 people (32.8%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,779 people. Such growth stems from an estimated resident population of 3,688 based on the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 134 validated new addresses added after the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,082 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader AreaSearch benchmark locations.
Outpacing both state figures and the 9.5% national benchmark, the 32.8% surge recorded in the suburb of Burswood since the 2021 census positions it as a regional growth standout. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary demographic catalyst, accounting for roughly 83.0% of recent population additions. Population projections incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling benchmarked to 2022 for individual SA2 boundaries, supplemented post-2032 and for unmapped areas by cohort growth rates from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking forward, the suburb of Burswood is slated for top-quartile demographic expansion nationally, with aggregated SA2 estimates projecting an influx of 841 persons by 2041, translating to an overall 16-year increase of 22.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
122 new dwellings have been approved in Burswood over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That places the area in the 89th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 39% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, broadly in line with 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 figures compiled by AreaSearch indicate building approvals in Burswood have tracked at roughly 24 new homes annually, accumulating to around 122 homes across the preceding 5 financial years, with FY-25 to date logging 30 approvals. Across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential development generated an average of 5.6 new residents per approved dwelling each year, pointing to a distinct undersupply that typically intensifies buyer rivalry and escalates prices. Furthermore, mean residential construction values reach $1,082,000, underscoring a strategic developer emphasis on upscale, premium properties. Commercial approvals of $4.3 million during the current financial year reinforce the locality's predominantly residential character.
Per capita construction volumes in Burswood outstrip Greater Perth by 56.0%, broadening options for prospective purchasers. The pipeline of new development divides into 39.0% detached houses alongside 61.0% medium and high-density formats. Emphasising denser living arrangements supports accessibility for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. Concurrently, the proportion of standalone homes under construction exceeds historical baseline levels (18.0% at Census), signaling sustained appetite for family-oriented residences despite intensifying urban density. The presence of roughly 67 people per dwelling approval reflects a developing residential market. According to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Burswood is anticipated to add 839 residents by 2041. While ongoing construction activity tracks demographic forecasts, incoming population growth could foster greater competition among prospective buyers.

2,571 residents of Burswood are employed, from a labour force of 2,638. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 78.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 8,133, about 2.2 times 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
Burswood features an exceptionally qualified talent pool with strong concentrations in professional services, an unemployment level of merely 2.5%, and an annual employment expansion of 4.3% according to AreaSearch's statistical area data. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 2,571, while joblessness was 1.7% lower than the 4.2% registered across Greater Perth, supported by an elevated labor force participation rate of 78.1% compared to 69.9% regionally. Remote work was recorded by a modest 10.6% of residents at the Census, though pandemic-era restrictions during Covid-19 provide important context. The primary employment sectors for local residents include professional & technical, mining, and health care & social assistance.
Mining shows pronounced concentration locally, maintaining a workforce share 1.6 times that of the wider metropolitan area. Conversely, education & training accounts for only 5.9% of the local workforce, trailing Greater Perth's 9.2%. Reflecting its role as an employment center, Census data showed 3.1 workers for every resident, drawing inbound commuters from surrounding districts. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM statistical data, the twelve months to March 2026 saw workforce headcounts rise by 4.3% alongside a 4.4% expansion in the labor pool, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% lift in employment, a 2.5% increase in the labor force, and a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment trends across Burswood. These industry projections, which model nationwide employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, indicate varied trajectories across sectors. Weighting these benchmarks against Burswood's workforce profile suggests local job numbers could grow by 6.4% across five years and 13.4% across ten years, representing an illustrative baseline that excludes localized population adjustments.

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 (2,779 at the 2021 Census → 3,690 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 (SAL50226). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
