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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside new addresses confirmed following the Census, the suburb of Greenmount (WA) has an estimated count of around 2,875 residents as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 209 people (7.8%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,666 people. Such growth stems from an estimated resident base of 2,833 determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 5 validated new addresses added after the Census date. With a density of 592 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space alongside scope for future expansion.
The suburb of Greenmount (WA) achieved a 7.8% post-Census increase, trailing the nationwide mark (9.5%) by only 1.7 percentage points and showcasing solid demographic momentum. Inward movement from other states served as the primary growth engine, generating around 66.0% of recent population additions, while natural increase and overseas arrivals also made positive contributions. Projections for SA2 districts published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are applied by AreaSearch. Where local SA2 projections are absent, as well as for all territory-wide projections beyond 2032, AreaSearch integrates age-bracket growth trajectories from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 figures). Long-term demographic modelling indicates that the suburb of Greenmount (WA) will outpace the median growth rate of locations assessed by AreaSearch, with combined SA2 projections pointing to an addition of 586 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 18.9% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals assigned from statistical boundaries shows that residential development across Greenmount has been virtually dormant over recent times, recording an estimated 4 homes approved across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, alongside 15 so far in FY-25. Because an average of 5.7 people arrived annually for every newly constructed residence over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, housing demand substantially exceeds construction volume, creating upward pricing pressure and heightened buyer competition, with newly built residences carrying an average construction cost of $379,000.
Greenmount demonstrates subdued construction volumes relative to Greater Perth, lagging regional per-capita figures by 71.0%. Although construction has picked up momentum recently, this ongoing shortfall of fresh stock tends to reinforce property values and demand for existing houses. Approval volumes sit similarly below national benchmarks, underscoring the established urban footprint and potential local planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent residential development has consisted exclusively of standalone houses, preserving the neighbourhood's traditional low-density profile and family-oriented appeal. With approximately 296 people per approval, Greenmount displays the hallmarks of an evolving property landscape.

1,544 residents of Greenmount (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,609. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 67.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,577, about 90% 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 data aggregated by AreaSearch reveals a qualified local labour pool in Greenmount, marked by solid employment in essential services, a jobless rate of 4.0%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 1.8%. By March 2026, employed residents reached 1,544, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.2% below the Greater Perth figure of 4.2%, while labour participation remained comparatively subdued at 67.9% versus 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census records indicate that 8.7% of workers operated from home, a figure that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, alongside construction.
Public administration & safety shows a distinct concentration locally, employing workers at 1.4 times the regional proportion. On the other hand, professional & technical roles account for only 6.1% of the workforce compared to the broader metropolitan benchmark of 8.2%. Comparing Census resident counts against local workplace positions suggests that employment opportunities within the immediate area remain relatively sparse. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment increasing by 1.8% alongside labour force increasing by 1.9%, keeping the unemployment rate relatively stable. This contrasts with Greater Perth, where employment rose by 2.0%, the labour force grew 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 Greenmount. 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 Greenmount's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% 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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,666 at the 2021 Census → 2,875 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.
