Sales Detail
Greenfields has an estimated 11,222 residents, up from 9,869 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,353 people, or 13.7%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years, faster than 81% of areas nationally. 182 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 1,122 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Greenfields has an estimated resident count of roughly 11,222, based on AreaSearch evaluations of broader ABS demographic releases alongside validated new addresses post-Census. Comparing this against the 2021 Census figure of 9,869 people indicates an addition of 1,353 people (13.7%). This metric builds upon an estimated resident population of 11,011 determined via ABS ERP data from June 2025, in addition to 182 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The suburb's density currently sits at 1,122 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch benchmark locations.
Outpacing the Australian national benchmark of 9.5%, the suburb of Greenfields established itself as a regional frontrunner with its 13.7% post-2021 census expansion. Inward interstate migration served as the core growth engine, generating around 72.0% of net demographic increases over recent times. Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia releases configured from a 2022 baseline for local SA2 zones. Where local figures are unavailable, and for projecting figures after 2032 across all geographies, age-cohort growth distributions from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 benchmarks) are applied. Looking ahead, the suburb of Greenfields is anticipated to outpace nationwide median growth trajectories, expanding by 1,270 persons up to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level modeling, representing cumulative growth of 9.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
165 new dwellings have been approved in Greenfields over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 51, 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
Evaluating ABS residential consent records by statistical geography, AreaSearch indicates that Greenfields averages approximately 33 dwellings gaining development approval annually. Over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), roughly 165 homes secured approvals, with 51 logged to date in FY-25. With roughly 5.3 people entering the suburb per dwelling constructed during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), building supply falls notably behind local demand, typically intensifying competition among purchasers and exerting upward pressure on real estate values, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $398,000.
Additionally, non-residential activity has seen $16.6 million in commercial approvals registered during this financial year, reflecting a moderate development footprint. Greenfields exhibits comparatively subdued residential construction, trailing the Greater Perth per-capita average by 73.0%. Such constrained building volumes frequently support existing property valuations and demand, despite a recent pickup in activity. These building volumes also track below broader national figures, reflecting an established urban landscape alongside possible regulatory boundaries. Recent residential consents comprise 94.0% detached houses and 6.0% attached dwellings, reinforcing the traditional low-density suburban fabric tailored toward buyers seeking family living space. Developers are prioritizing standalone homes at a higher rate than the prevailing housing stock (78.0% at Census), underscoring sustained interest in family properties despite broader multi-unit trends. The suburb maintains roughly 208 people per dwelling approval, indicating capacity for ongoing development. Projections indicate Greenfields will add 1,059 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. While construction volumes are broadly tracking population expectations, prospective purchasers could encounter tighter market conditions as the local population expands.

4,319 residents of Greenfields are employed, from a labour force of 4,577. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 50.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Greenfields features a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of 5.6%, and 7.9% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,319 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.4% above Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, and workforce participation lags significantly (50.0% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%). Based on Census responses, a low 5.6% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Resident employment centers primarily within health care & social assistance, retail trade, and mining sectors. Mining exhibits particular local prominence, commanding a workforce concentration 1.5 times the metropolitan norm. Conversely, professional & technical occupations represent just 3.0% of local jobs compared to 8.2% across the wider region. Although local employment hubs operate, the proportion of working residents relative to local positions suggests substantial outward commuting for work. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM records indicates that across the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 7.9% while the labor pool grew by 9.4%, resulting in an unemployment increase of 1.3 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the same timeframe, employment increased by 2.0%, the labor force rose by 2.5%, and unemployment climbed by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide further context regarding prospective labor demand in Greenfields. When applied to the local workforce distribution across five- and ten-year horizons, these figures provide indicative trajectories. Against national projected gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, sector-by-sector trends vary. Weighting these projections against the employment base of Greenfields implies job gains of 5.7% over five years and 12.5% over ten years (noting this illustrative calculation relies on baseline industry weighting rather than local demographic modeling).

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 — 182 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,869 at the 2021 Census → 11,222 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.
