Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Coolbellup has an estimated population of approximately 6,667, determined by AreaSearch through evaluation of ABS updates for the surrounding region alongside post-Census address validations. This marks an expansion of 969 people (17.0%) compared to the 5,698 people recorded at the 2021 Census. AreaSearch established this figure by evaluating the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), which showed 6,582 residents, and factoring in 111 validated new addresses logged after the Census date. Consequently, the suburb of Coolbellup maintains a population density of 2,143 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national average among locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Surpassing both Western Australia and the nationwide benchmark (9.5%), the suburb of Coolbellup emerged as a regional growth leader with its 17.0% gain since the 2021 census. Net overseas migration served as the primary growth engine, accounting for roughly 56.99999999999999% of total gains in recent times, though natural increase and interstate arrivals also contributed positively. Projections for the suburb of Coolbellup apply 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data using 2022 as a base year across SA2 areas. For any SA2 locations lacking coverage, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, calculations incorporate age cohort growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (grounded in 2022 figures). Given anticipated demographic movements, the suburb of Coolbellup is slated to achieve above-median expansion relative to peer statistical areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate the population will increase by 920 persons leading up to 2041, representing an overall gain of 12.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
301 new dwellings have been approved in Coolbellup over the past five years, an average of 60 a year. That places the area in the 84th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 57 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 72% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 53, 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
ABS building approval statistics reviewed by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries indicate that development approvals in Coolbellup have averaged roughly 60 dwellings per annum, amounting to approximately 301 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 53 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area added an average of 3 new residents annually per completed dwelling, demonstrating strong underlying demand that reinforces local property values, with expected construction costs averaging $381,000 per new home. Furthermore, $400,000 worth of commercial approvals was registered during the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Coolbellup aligns closely with Greater Perth benchmarks, maintaining balanced local market conditions consistent with the wider metropolitan region. The breakdown of new residential construction features 72.0% standalone houses alongside 28.0% medium and high-density housing types, preserving traditional suburban surroundings while offering spacious options for families. The ratio of approximately 121 people per dwelling approval reflects a steadily expanding housing market. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, future growth projections indicate that Coolbellup will add 835 residents by 2041. Sustaining current construction volumes should enable local dwelling supply to comfortably absorb incoming demand, creating favorable market conditions for purchasers and laying the groundwork for development that could exceed current population targets.

3,596 residents of Coolbellup are employed, from a labour force of 3,821. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 68.6%. 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 5,174, 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
Statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch indicate that Coolbellup maintains a highly educated talent pool, a substantial presence in essential service industries, an unemployment rate of 5.9%, and solid workforce consistency over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,596, the jobless rate stood 1.7% higher than the 4.2% recorded for Greater Perth, and the participation rate closely mirrored the wider metropolitan level of 69.9%. Census records show that a modest 6.6% of workers operated from home, an outcome that must be interpreted in light of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for resident workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. Educational services in particular show high concentration, employing 1.3 times the regional average share. In contrast, the mining sector is underrepresented locally, accounting for 5.0% of workers compared to 7.0% across the broader region. Based on Census comparisons between local resident workers and local jobs, this largely residential district provides a constrained number of jobs within its own borders. Aggregated SALM and ABS data reviewed by AreaSearch show that over the 12-month period, the local labor pool contracted by 0.6% and total employment decreased by 0.2%, generating a 0.3 percentage points drop in the unemployment rate. Conversely, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0%, the labor force expand by 2.5%, and unemployment climb by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide useful perspective on future workforce trajectories. Mapping these five- and ten-year national estimates onto the local occupational structure offers an outlook for industry trends, noting that nation-wide job growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years will vary substantially by sector. When applying these weighted sector projections to the local workforce composition, Coolbellup employment is estimated to grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (representing a baseline weighting extrapolation for comparative purposes without factoring in localized population changes).

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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,698 at the 2021 Census → 6,667 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 (SAL50324). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
