Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Coodanup has an estimated population of approximately 5,239, drawing on AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS demographic updates and post-Census validated address data. This represents an addition of 873 people (20.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 4,366 people. This updated figure builds upon the resident count of 5,086 determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 446 new addresses validated since the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,110 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical AreaSearch benchmark locations.
Expanding by 20.0% post-2021 Census, the suburb of Coodanup outpaced the national benchmark (9.5%) as well as state figures, establishing itself as a regional growth hotspot where interstate arrivals accounted for roughly 76.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Coodanup incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level modeling published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), supplemented beyond 2032 and for unmapped SA2 boundaries by ABS cohort growth rates from the 2023 Greater Capital Region release (grounded in 2022 data). Driven by these demographic patterns, the suburb of Coodanup is slated for above-median growth relative to locations assessed by AreaSearch. SA2 aggregations anticipate an influx of 830 persons by 2041, representing an overall expansion of 12.9% across the 16-year timeframe.

1,733 residents of Coodanup are employed, from a labour force of 1,883. Unemployment sits at 8.0%, with participation at 44.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% 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 4,714, about 90% 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
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch illustrates a balanced local labor pool across blue- and white-collar roles, highlighted by solid industrial and manufacturing presence, an unemployment rate of 8.0%, and an annual employment increase estimated at 6.6%. As of March 2026, employed residents number 1,733, while the jobless rate sits 3.8% above the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth. Workforce participation remains subdued at 44.0% compared to 69.9% across Greater Perth, and remote work was cited by only 6.2% of residents at the Census, although pandemic-era restrictions provide context to that figure.
Local workers are primarily concentrated in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Retail trade shows particular prominence, holding a local concentration 1.3 times the regional standard. In contrast, professional & technical occupations account for just 2.9% of local employment against the 8.2% broader metropolitan benchmark. The gap between resident workers and local operational roles indicates that this residential community provides comparatively few positions within its own boundaries. According to ABS and SALM statistical series compiled by AreaSearch for the twelve months to March 2026, an employment rise of 6.6% alongside a 9.4% surge in the local labor pool lifted the jobless rate by 2.4 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the same interval, employment climbed 2.0%, the labor force grew 2.5%, and unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 outline nationwide employment gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though sectoral rates fluctuate. When weighted against Coodanup's industry distribution, these projections point to indicative local workforce expansion of 5.8% over five years and 12.5% over ten years (representing an unadjusted structural weighting that excludes bespoke local population 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 — 446 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,366 at the 2021 Census → 5,239 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 (SAL50320). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
