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.

Sales Detail
Girrawheen has an estimated 10,278 residents, up from 8,897 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,381 people, or 15.5%. Growth has averaged 2.7% a year over five years, faster than 85% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 56.0% of that increase. That puts 2,519 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
Demographic updates from the ABS for the surrounding region alongside 59 validated new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch following the Census indicate that the suburb of Girrawheen has an estimated population of approximately 10,278 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 8,897 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 1,381 people (15.5%). This adjustment builds upon an estimated resident population of 10,268 determined by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release. Population density stands at 2,519 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb in the upper quartile across nationally evaluated areas.
The 15.5% expansion rate observed since the 2021 census surpassed both the SA4 territory and the national average (9.5%), establishing the suburb as a primary regional growth driver. Net overseas migration served as the principal catalyst, generating roughly 56.00000000000001% of aggregate population additions, while interstate arrivals and natural increases also remained positive contributors. Projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) by ABS/Geoscience Australia are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For unmapped SA2 localities and all post-2032 modeling, AreaSearch incorporates age-cohort expansion rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region series released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking forward, the suburb of Girrawheen is projected to register demographic gains slightly beneath the median of territories reviewed by AreaSearch, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an increase of 416 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 4.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
256 new dwellings have been approved in Girrawheen over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 43 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 81% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 56, 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 compiled by AreaSearch indicate an annual average of roughly 51 residential approvals in Girrawheen, translating to roughly 256 new dwellings over the previous 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 56 permits have been granted. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the addition of approximately 5.8 new residents per completed residence each year means underlying demand substantially outstrips fresh supply, typically fueling upward price momentum and heightened buyer competition. New builds feature an average expected construction cost of $326,000, which sits beneath wider regional levels and highlights accessible entry pricing.
Furthermore, commercial approvals over the current financial year total $6.9 million, reflecting modest non-residential development activity. Residential construction per capita in Girrawheen remains 61.0% below the broader Greater Perth benchmark. A constrained pipeline of this nature generally provides support to valuations and buyer interest across established stock. Detached residences comprise 81.0% of recent construction while townhouses or apartments constitute 19.0%, maintaining the traditional low-density suburban profile favored by purchasers seeking space. The locality currently averages around 214 people per dwelling approval, suggesting capacity for subsequent development. Demographic projections derived from recent quarterly estimates by AreaSearch anticipate an influx of 406 residents in Girrawheen through to 2041. Provided current building volumes persist, emerging residential supply appears capable of satisfying buyer requirements, establishing balanced purchasing conditions and accommodating potential expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

4,513 residents of Girrawheen are employed, from a labour force of 5,283. Unemployment sits at 14.6%, with participation at 62.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 8,396, about 82% 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
Girrawheen displays a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of 14.6%, and 2.1% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,513 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 10.4% above Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, showing room for improvement, and workforce participation lags significantly (62.0% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%). Based on Census responses, a low 3.8% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The primary sectors employing local workers are retail trade, health care & social assistance, and construction. Manufacturing stands out with a local concentration 1.5 times higher than the metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.5% of workers compared to 8.2% regionally. Comparison of resident workers against the local daytime workforce confirms that the suburb functions predominantly as a dormitory residential area with limited local job creation. Analysis of Salm and Abs data, which has been combined from larger statistical regions, shows that over a twelve-month span employment grew by 2.1 percent while the labor force expanded by 3.9 percent, leading to a 1.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0 percent, labor force growth of 2.5 percent, and an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts for Mar-26 that provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand inside Girrawheen. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment composition to estimate how growth might unfold. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6 percent over five years and by 13.7 percent over ten years, though sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Girrawheen’s employment structure, local employment is expected to rise by 6.0 percent over five years and by 12.9 percent over ten years, with the caveat that this represents a basic weighting exercise intended only for illustration and does not incorporate localized 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 — 59 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,897 at the 2021 Census → 10,278 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 (SAL50550). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
