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.

Dawesville has an estimated 9,351 residents, up from 7,143 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,208 people, or 30.9%. Growth has averaged 5.4% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 567 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 75.0% of that increase. That puts 732 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS population updates with new addresses validated since the Census, the suburb of Dawesville has an estimated count of around 9,351 people as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 7,143 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this demonstrates an addition of 2,208 persons, or 30.9%. This estimate is determined from an AreaSearch resident population figure of 9,267 using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025), alongside 567 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. Population density for the area stands at 732 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Dawesville outpaced both state figures and the national average (9.5%) with its 30.9% post-2021 Census expansion, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Inflow from interstate migrants served as the dominant catalyst, making up approximately 75.0% of recent population gains, while natural increase and overseas migration also provided positive contributions. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across individual SA2 areas. Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, age-cohort growth rates sourced from ABS Greater Capital Region projections (2023 release, 2022 data baseline) are incorporated. Looking at long-term outlooks, the suburb of Dawesville is expected to experience above-median growth relative to Australian statistical areas, adding 2,028 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level figures, which represents an overall gain of 20.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
902 new dwellings have been approved in Dawesville over the past five years, an average of 180 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 152 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 98, 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
AreaSearch examination of ABS building approvals across statistical area data shows that Dawesville averages around 180 approved residential properties annually, delivering approximately 902 dwellings over the past 5 financial years. Approvals in FY-25 currently stand at 98 homes. Strong underlying demand supporting residential values is highlighted by an annual gain of 2.9 new residents for each completed dwelling across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). New dwellings carry an average estimated construction cost of $530,000, marginally exceeding regional benchmarks and pointing toward quality residential projects. In contrast, commercial building approvals have reached only $1.9 million this financial year, reflecting a minimal level of commercial development.
New residential approvals per person in Dawesville exceed Greater Perth by 53.0%, broadening housing opportunities for prospective purchasers. This elevated building rate tracks significantly above national benchmarks, underscoring substantial developer appetite. Furthermore, all recent building permits represent standalone dwellings, preserving the local low-density character and catering to buyers seeking detached homes with ample space. The district records approximately 56 people per dwelling approval, reinforcing an active, expanding market. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, demographic projections show Dawesville adding 1,944 residents through to 2041. Ongoing residential construction rates appear well positioned to satisfy this demand, maintaining supportive buying conditions and creating potential for the suburb to outperform projected growth trajectories.

4,061 residents of Dawesville are employed, from a labour force of 4,175. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 55.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% 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 7,335, 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
Dawesville features an even distribution of blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by notable manufacturing and industrial engagement, a low jobless rate of 2.7%, and an estimated employment growth of 8.7% over the past year per AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, working residents numbered 4,061, with local unemployment sitting 1.5% beneath the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth, although the local labor participation rate of 55.1% trails Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records indicate that only 9.3% of workers operated from home, though potential distortion from Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
Resident employment centers primarily on mining, construction, and health care & social assistance. Mining represents a distinct specialty, capturing an employment share 2.2 times greater than regional figures. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.1% of local employment, compared to 8.2% across Greater Perth. Comparing resident worker counts with local Census workforce numbers indicates that this predominantly residential community provides relatively few local job positions. Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS and SALM statistical aggregations, the 12 months leading to March 2026 recorded an 8.7% rise in employment alongside a 9.2% increase in the labor pool, lifting the jobless rate by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% employment lift, a 2.5% labor force expansion, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future labor demand for Dawesville. Mapped against the local sector breakdown over five- and ten-year horizons, these figures project national employment expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variances by sector. Applying these industry weightings to Dawesville's workforce structure indicates anticipated local job growth of 5.6% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses simple weighted calculations for illustration and excludes localized demographic 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 — 567 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,143 at the 2021 Census → 9,351 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 (SAL50396). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
