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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Gosnells stands at approximately 24,144, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS updates with 295 validated new addresses identified since the Census. This marks an expansion of 2,995 people (14.2%) compared to the 21,149 people recorded in the 2021 Census, derived from an estimated resident count of 23,952 from the June 2025 ABS ERP release. The suburb of Gosnells features a density of 1,534 persons per square kilometer, positioning it above the national benchmark across AreaSearch locations. Furthermore, the 14.2% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outpaced the nationwide rate of 9.5%, establishing the locality as a regional leader.
This demographic increase was predominantly propelled by overseas migration, which generated roughly 67.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and interstate movements. Long-term projections for the suburb of Gosnells incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling using 2022 as a starting point, supplemented by cohort-specific growth rates from the 2023 Greater Capital Region release (built on 2022 data) for non-covered areas and horizons beyond post-2032. Demographic modeling points toward growth running above the median of statistical territories across the nation. Specifically, aggregated SA2 figures anticipate the suburb of Gosnells expanding by 4,073 persons through to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 16.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
404 new dwellings have been approved in Gosnells over the past five years, an average of 80 a year. That places the area in the 90th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 94 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 77% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 144, running ahead of 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 indicates that municipal authorities approve approximately 80 dwellings annually in Gosnells, totaling an estimated 404 residential approvals across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, including 144 approvals during FY-25 to date. With an intake averaging 4.9 new residents per year for each home constructed over those 5 financial years (FY-21 to FY-25), construction rates remain significantly below inbound demand, generating competitive conditions for purchasers and subsequent upward price momentum. The expected construction cost for incoming dwellings averages $355,000, aligning with regional trends, while commercial development remains vigorous with $32.0 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year.
On a per-capita basis, residential construction in Gosnells aligns with Greater Perth, maintaining balance with the broader metropolitan area despite recent acceleration in building activity. Detached houses account for 77.0% of new residential development approvals, while attached dwellings make up 23.0%, reinforcing the suburban character with family-oriented layouts for buyers wanting space. Recording roughly 187 people per dwelling approval, the area exhibits typical expansion corridor dynamics. Forecasts indicate that Gosnells is slated to add 3,881 residents by 2041 relative to recent quarterly modeling from AreaSearch. Should construction activity fail to accelerate beyond current levels, residential additions may fall short of demographic expansion, creating tighter market conditions for purchasers and placing upward pressure on property prices.

10,609 residents of Gosnells are employed, from a labour force of 11,902. Unemployment sits at 10.9%, with participation at 61.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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 20,208, about 84% 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
Workforce analysis indicates that Gosnells maintains an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by solid representation across manufacturing and industrial trades. However, local job figures present opportunities for improvement: the unemployment rate sits at 10.9%, which is 6.7% higher than the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%, while annual employment growth was estimated at 0.8%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 10,609, and the labor force participation rate of 61.4% trails the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. In addition, only 4.0% of local workers reported working from home during the Census, a figure that may reflect the circumstances of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment fields for the local labor force are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Notably, transport, postal & warehousing demonstrates strong local concentration, employing residents at a rate 1.8 times the broader metropolitan average. In contrast, professional & technical occupations are significantly under-represented, comprising only 4.6% of the workforce in Gosnells against 8.2% across Greater Perth. The imbalance between working-age resident figures and local workplace counts confirms the area's predominantly residential character, with limited internal commercial employment opportunities. Over the 12 months leading to March 2026, SALM and ABS statistical aggregations show local employment expanded by 0.8% alongside a 2.0% expansion in the labor force, raising the local unemployment rate by 1.0 percentage points; by comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment growth of 2.0% and labor force growth of 2.5%, yielding a 0.4 percentage point unemployment rise. Industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide outlooks for future workforce requirements. Nationally, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the specific occupational profile of Gosnells indicates prospective local employment growth of 5.9% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, though this modeled calculation excludes local population adjustments.

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 — 295 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (21,149 at the 2021 Census → 24,144 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.
