Carramar (WA) has an estimated 7,783 residents, up from 7,178 at the 2021 Census — a change of 605 people, or 8.4%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. That puts 1,102 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic releases and post-Census address validations, the suburb of Carramar (WA) reaches an estimated population of 7,783 by Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 605 people (8.4%) above the 7,178 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated count stems from an estimated resident population of 7,782 calculated from the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 22 newly verified addresses following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,102 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with standard metrics across benchmarked locations. Expanding at 8.4% since the Census, the suburb trails the national rate (9.5%) by merely 1.1 percentage points, signaling robust underlying expansion.
Natural increase served as the primary contributor, generating approximately 39.0% of recent population additions, while interstate and overseas arrivals also registered positive gains. Projections for the suburb of Carramar (WA) incorporate ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts issued in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures across SA2 zones, supplemented by age-cohort growth metrics from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (benchmarked to 2022) for uncovered areas and post-2032 modeling. Looking ahead, demographic patterns suggest local expansion will track slightly below the national statistical median, accumulating 255 additional residents by 2041 via aggregated SA2 modeling, which translates to a 3.3% cumulative rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
150 new dwellings have been approved in Carramar (WA) over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That is 4.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 32 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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
ABS building approval statistics evaluated by AreaSearch indicate that Carramar records roughly 30 residential dwellings approved per year, aggregating to approximately 150 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 6 approvals have been logged. The arrival rate averaged 2 incoming occupants annually per newly approved dwelling throughout the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demonstrating balanced conditions between demand and supply, though the pace quickened to 12.6 people per dwelling across the last 2 financial years, pointing toward tighter residential inventory and heightened demand.
Dwelling projects average an estimated construction value of $370,000, aligning with regional averages. Building activity in Carramar remains subdued compared to Greater Perth, tracking 65.0% below regional levels on a per-capita basis. Such constrained additions typically foster value appreciation and steady demand across existing housing stock. Detached residences comprise 97.0% of recent building activity alongside 3.0% allocated to medium and high-density formats, reinforcing the predominantly suburban setting geared toward detached homes that appeal to purchasers seeking space. With 1289 residents per dwelling approval, the locality displays characteristics of an established, mature residential environment. Demographic projections suggest Carramar will record an increase of 254 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. Prevailing residential building volumes appear capable of accommodating this intake, offering favorable buying dynamics while supporting potential expansion beyond projected thresholds.

4,420 residents of Carramar (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 4,668. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 76.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,575, about 72% 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
Carramar maintains a qualified labor base with substantial representation across key essential industries, an unemployment figure of 5.3%, and sustained labor stability throughout the preceding twelve months according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents total 4,420, while the local jobless rate sits 1.1% higher than Greater Perth's 4.2%. Participation in the labor force is elevated at 76.8%, notably exceeding the Greater Perth benchmark of 69.9%. Census records indicate that only 8.7% of employed locals conducted their work from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time warrant consideration.
Resident employment is concentrated primarily within health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction shows notable local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.4 times greater than the broader metropolitan area. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for 6.1% of local workers, trailing the 8.2% registered across Greater Perth. The locality functions chiefly as a commuter suburb with limited local employment hubs, as evidenced by the disparity between resident workers and locally situated jobs in Census data. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce expanded by 0.7% while jobs contracted by 0.5%, driving a 1.1 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0%, labor force expand by 2.5%, and unemployment climb by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia (issued Mar-26) models nationwide workforce growth at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, exhibiting considerable variance across industries. Mapping these sector-specific trajectories onto the local workforce distribution yields projected employment gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a direct weighted baseline that excludes localized demographic 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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,178 at the 2021 Census → 7,783 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 (SAL50269). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
