Sales Detail
Craigie (WA) has an estimated 7,355 residents, up from 6,456 at the 2021 Census — a change of 899 people, or 13.9%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 1,572 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Craigie (WA) has an estimated population of around 7,355, determined by AreaSearch through ABS broader-area updates and post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 6,456 people recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 899 people (13.9%). This estimate builds upon an earlier resident population figure of 7,322 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 65 validated new addresses logged since the Census date. With a density of 1,571 persons per square kilometer, the suburb sits above the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.
Surpassing both the broader SA3 area and the 9.5% national pace, the 13.9% expansion in the suburb of Craigie (WA) since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner, largely propelled by natural growth, which accounted for approximately 62.0% of recent population gains. Long-term projections by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level forecasts published in 2024 using 2022 base figures, supplemented for uncovered localities and post-2032 modeling by age-cohort rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region release (published in 2023 from 2022 data). For the suburb of Craigie (WA), forward-looking estimates point to expansion tracking slightly under the median of regions assessed by AreaSearch. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate an anticipated rise of 617 persons leading up to 2041, which corresponds to an overall gain of 7.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
246 new dwellings have been approved in Craigie (WA) over the past five years, an average of 49 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 31, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Craigie has averaged around 49 residential approvals each year, totaling an estimated 246 dwellings across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 31 approved to date in FY-25. Because an average of 4.1 incoming residents per year were added for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential construction is falling well behind population intake, generating upward price pressure and tight buyer competition. Expected construction costs for new dwellings average $362,000, reflecting regional building patterns.
Meanwhile, non-residential activity remains modest, with $4.8 million recorded in commercial approvals this financial year. On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Craigie exceed Greater Perth by 121.0%, supporting prospective purchaser options even though recent building momentum has moderated. The local development pipeline remains oriented toward low-density suburban living, comprising 85.0% detached houses and 15.0% attached dwellings, which appeals strongly to buyers seeking extra space. Furthermore, a ratio of approximately 267 people per dwelling approval highlights continued scope for future residential growth. Projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update indicate Craigie will add 584 residents through to 2041. Given prevailing development activity, incoming residential stock appears well placed to satisfy demographic demand, fostering favourable conditions for purchasers and enabling population expansion to exceed current expectations.

Redevelopment of the ageing Heathridge Park precinct, which includes the Heathridge Community Centre, library, clubrooms and sporting ovals used by more than 40 local sporting and community groups. In December 2024 the City of Joondalup Council endorsed a masterplan following community consultation on two concept design options carried out in mid-2024. The WA State Government has committed 2.5 million AUD in funding toward the project, but as of mid-2025 the City of Joondalup had not yet allocated matching funds in its Capital Works Program, leaving the redevelopment unfunded and without a confirmed construction timeline.
Ocean Reef Primary School Expansion
Program of classroom refurbishment and facilities upgrades at Ocean Reef Primary School, a K-6 government primary school on Kaufman Avenue, to support modernised teaching spaces and resurfaced outdoor sports courts for the growing Ocean Reef community.
4,205 residents of Craigie (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 4,389. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 75.3%. 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 5,845, about 79% 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
Data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Craigie features a skilled labour market with strong representation across essential services, marked by an unemployment rate of 4.2% and annual job growth estimated at 3.5%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 4,205, matching the 4.2% jobless rate seen across Greater Perth, while local labour force participation is exceptionally robust at 75.3%, outperforming the 69.9% recorded for Greater Perth. In addition, Census data indicated that only 8.2% of workers performed their duties from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 lockdown measures. Resident employment is concentrated primarily in construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The local workforce displays a pronounced concentration in construction, capturing an employment share 1.6 times higher than the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services account for only 6.7% of local positions, trailing the 8.2% share observed across Greater Perth. Comparing the Census working population against resident numbers suggests the suburb functions mainly as a residential district with relatively few jobs situated within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM datasets, over the year to March 2026, local employment grew by 3.5% alongside a 4.0% expansion in the labour force, leading to a 0.5 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Across Greater Perth over the same timeframe, employment climbed 2.0%, the workforce grew 2.5%, and joblessness lifted by 0.4 percentage points. Forward projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide outlooks over five and ten-year horizons; across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by industry. Aligning these sectoral projections with Craigie's resident workforce structure points to an estimated local employment uplift of 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (calculated as a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration without incorporating local population projections).

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 — 65 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,456 at the 2021 Census → 7,355 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.
