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
Collie (WA) has an estimated 8,235 residents, up from 7,599 at the 2021 Census — a change of 636 people, or 8.4%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 49.0% of that increase. That puts 156 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
Following an examination of ABS demographic data updates for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Collie (WA) is calculated to have approximately 8,235 residents in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 636 residents (8.4%) from the 2021 Census, which registered 7,599 people. The figure is derived from an estimated local population of 8,229 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 and 41 newly confirmed addresses since the Census date. This population size results in a density of 156 residents per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future housing expansion.
The 8.4% expansion rate in the suburb of Collie (WA) since the census is only 0.9 percentage points lower than the nationwide figure of 9.3%, showing solid growth metrics. Demographic expansion was mostly driven by arrivals from other states, which accounted for roughly 49.0% of the population increase, although natural increase and overseas arrivals also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied to each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data or to project figures beyond 2032, growth rate projections by age group from the 2023 capital city projections (based on 2022 data) are utilised. Looking ahead, regional areas are anticipated to experience population expansion exceeding the national median, with the suburb of Collie (WA) projected to add 1,146 residents by 2041 under combined SA2 forecasts, representing a total increase of 13.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
119 new dwellings have been approved in Collie (WA) over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 83% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, 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
Analysis of building approval statistics indicates that Collie averages approximately 23 dwelling approvals annually. A total of 119 residential approvals were granted over the 5 fiscal years between FY-21 and FY-25, with 26 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. Because 4.2 new residents were added for every home built over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, building activity is failing to keep pace with demand, which typically escalates purchaser competition and raises prices, with new dwellings showing an average construction value of $320,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $14.1 million have been logged in the current financial year, indicating steady commercial building activity.
Collie exhibits approximately half the per capita residential approval rate of the Rest of WA and falls in the 45th percentile nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains demand for established homes. This building rate is also lower than the national average, reflecting a mature market or potential construction bottlenecks. Detached houses comprise 83.0% of new residential construction, while medium and high-density formats make up 17.0%, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood style suited to families. The ratio of 371 residents per building approval highlights a quiet development environment. Demographic projections indicate that Collie will add 1,140 residents by 2041. Based on current building trends, the addition of new housing may not keep pace with this population increase, which could intensify competition among buyers and support upward price trends.

3,626 residents of Collie (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 3,880. Unemployment sits at 6.5%, with participation at 56.7%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 6,407, about 78% 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
The local labor market displays a mix of manual and professional roles, with a notable presence of industrial and manufacturing activities, an unemployment rate of 6.5%, and an annual employment growth rate of 0.6%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,626, while the jobless rate was 3.0% higher than the Regional WA figure of 3.5%, indicating potential for labor market improvement. Workforce participation is low at 56.7%, compared to 65.6% across Regional WA. According to census records, a modest 2.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions.
Local workers are primarily employed in mining, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Mining shows a strong local concentration, with an employment share 1.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.1% of local workers, compared to a regional average of 9.3%. Comparing the census count of working residents to local job numbers suggests a scarcity of employment opportunities within the immediate area. Data from the SALM and ABS indicate that in the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 0.6% and the labor force expanded by 0.8%, resulting in a steady unemployment rate. Conversely, Regional WA saw employment fall by 0.1% and the labor force grow by 0.3%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point increase in joblessness. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide a benchmark for future demand, mapping five-year and ten-year national growth trends against local industry sectors. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these trends to the local workforce structure suggests employment could expand by 5.2% over five years and 11.9% over ten years.

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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,599 at the 2021 Census → 8,235 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.
