Detail
In the suburb of Ferndale (WA), demographic evaluation incorporating regional ABS releases and 82 validated new addresses recorded by AreaSearch since the Census indicates an Estimated Resident Population of roughly 5,281 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 824 people (18.5%) compared to the 4,457 people documented at the 2021 Census, with calculations stemming from AreaSearch review of the ABS June 2025 ERP update alongside subsequent address additions. Across the suburb of Ferndale (WA), population density stands at 1,655 persons per square kilometer, tracking above national benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch.
Surpassing both the broader SA3 territory and the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, the 18.5% post-2021 Census expansion positions the locality as a regional leader in demographic growth, largely propelled by overseas arrivals who generated around 87.0% of recent population additions. SA2 growth modeling by AreaSearch draws upon ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts published in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline), supplemented post-2032 and across unlisted areas by age-cohort metrics from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (built on 2022 data). Looking forward across the suburb of Ferndale (WA), demographic expansion is projected to track slightly below the national statistical median, gaining an estimated 474 persons through to 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing cumulative 16-year growth of 9.0%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
160 new dwellings have been approved in Ferndale (WA) over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
Statistical allocations of ABS building figures by AreaSearch show that Ferndale records approximately 32 residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 160 dwellings over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 35 granted to date in FY-25. Because an average of 3.6 new occupants per year arrived for each home built over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), buyer competition and price pressures are sustained by demand outpacing development supply, alongside an average construction cost of $402,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, non-residential building permits stand at $1.4 million for the current financial year, reflecting subdued commercial development activity.
Per-capita residential approvals in Ferndale exceed Greater Perth by 84.0%, providing prospective purchasers with expanded options. Recent construction approvals comprise 95.0% separate houses alongside 5.0% apartments or townhouses, reinforcing the established low-density suburban landscape oriented toward family buyers seeking room. With approximately 130 people per approval, the district exhibits steady development momentum. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Ferndale is forecast to expand by 474 residents by 2041. Ongoing construction volumes are projected to sufficiently satisfy residential demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially facilitating demographic gains beyond baseline projections.

2,868 residents of Ferndale (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 2,985. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 67.4%. 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 4,055, about 77% 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 reveal that Ferndale maintains a qualified labor force with solid representation across essential services, an unemployment rate standing at 3.9%, and an estimated 3.8% annual rise in employment. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,868, holding local joblessness 0.3% below the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth, while labor participation reached 67.4% against the regional benchmark of 69.9%. Census records indicate that only 7.9% of workers operated from home, though pandemic containment measures should be noted. The primary employment fields for the local workforce consist of retail trade, education & training, and health care & social assistance.
Meanwhile, construction engages only 7.8% of workers, trailing the 9.3% proportion across Greater Perth. Census comparisons between local resident workers and place-of-work tallies highlight that this largely residential setting offers limited local commercial jobs. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels increased by 3.8% and labour force increased by 3.8%, keeping the unemployment rate relatively stable. This compares to Greater Perth, where employment grew by 2.0%, labour force expanded by 2.5%, and unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Ferndale. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Ferndale's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 82 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,457 at the 2021 Census → 5,281 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.
