Sales Detail
Crawley has an estimated 4,392 residents, up from 3,975 at the 2021 Census — a change of 417 people, or 10.5%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 3,093 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
Evaluations of regional ABS demographic releases and newly validated post-Census addresses by AreaSearch place the population of the suburb of Crawley at approximately 4,392 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 417 people (10.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 3,975 people. This figure is calculated from an estimated resident population of 4,366 determined via the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), combined with 31 new addresses verified following the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Crawley records a population density of 3,093 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile among nationally assessed areas.
Expanding by 10.5% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Crawley outpaced the broader national expansion rate of 9.5% to rank among the region's leading growth locations. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary demographic catalyst, accounting for virtually all recent net population gains. Projections for the suburb of Crawley incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models pegged to a 2022 baseline for individual SA2 regions. In locations lacking direct coverage or for projections extending beyond 2032, calculations apply age-specific growth trajectories published in the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (using 2022 figures). Ongoing demographic projections indicate that the suburb of Crawley will experience expansion above the national median, gaining 629 persons by 2041 across combined SA2 estimates, which represents an overall growth of 13.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
86 new dwellings have been approved in Crawley over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
Residential planning approval records compiled by AreaSearch from ABS data indicate that Crawley averages approximately 17 residential dwelling approvals per annum. Total residential construction authorisations reached 86 homes over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 through FY-25, including 15 approvals during FY-25 to date. Across the identical 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the area attracted an average of 3 incoming residents for each newly approved dwelling, highlighting healthy structural demand underpinning real estate fundamentals. Newly planned residences reflect an average expected construction cost of $1,181,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on high-end, premium residential projects.
Per capita building approval volumes in Crawley closely align with the broader Greater Perth metropolitan area, preserving local market equilibrium. Recent residential construction authorisations comprise 47.0% detached houses alongside 53.0% attached dwellings. This focus on higher-density built forms enhances local affordability while meeting demand from downsizers, first-home purchasers, and property investors. Concurrently, the proportion of detached residential approvals significantly exceeds the historical dwelling mix recorded at the Census (6.0%), reflecting sustained demand for standalone family properties amidst urban consolidation. Overall, Crawley logs approximately 199 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating ongoing capacity for further development. Long-term forecasts anticipate that Crawley will accommodate an additional 603 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update. Ongoing construction activity indicates that future residential supply will sufficiently absorb incoming demand, creating an advantageous environment for buyers while allowing the potential for growth to outpace baseline projections.

2,296 residents of Crawley are employed, from a labour force of 2,456. Unemployment sits at 6.5%, with participation at 59.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,000, about 159% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 labour market in Crawley is defined by strong representation across essential services and a highly qualified resident workforce, alongside a local unemployment rate of 6.5% based on aggregated statistical area figures. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,296, while the local jobless rate sat 2.3% above the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Labour force participation registered at 59.5%, trailing the metropolitan average of 69.9%. Meanwhile, Census data indicated that only 10.8% of workers operated primarily from home, though figures from that period reflect prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are education & training, accommodation & food, alongside health care & social assistance.
Concentration is especially pronounced in education & training, which captures a workforce share 2.5 times higher than the metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, the construction industry is underrepresented locally, employing 2.7% of working residents against 9.3% across the wider region. Census figures show the suburb accommodates 1.7 workers for every resident, establishing it as an active regional employment destination that draws personnel from surrounding areas. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM series, the 12 months to March 2026 saw the local workforce expand by 1.0% while overall resident employment contracted by 1.8%, elevating the unemployment rate by 2.7 percentage points. Across Greater Perth, total employment expanded by 2.0% and the labour force grew by 2.5%, corresponding to a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. National projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide an additional framework for evaluating future employment trajectories. Extrapolating these five-year and ten-year national industry forecasts across Crawley's current sector distribution suggests local employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, matching aggregate national projections of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though sectoral rates vary substantially (note that this weighting model serves illustrative purposes and excludes local demographic 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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,975 at the 2021 Census → 4,392 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 (SAL50353). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
