Hamersley has an estimated 5,670 residents, up from 5,209 at the 2021 Census — a change of 461 people, or 8.9%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 70.0% of that increase. That puts 1,713 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 Hamersley has an estimated count of around 5,670 residents, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with 15 validated new addresses logged following the Census. This total denotes an expansion of 461 people (8.9%) over the 5,209 people documented in the 2021 Census, building upon an interim resident population figure of 5,643 calculated from the ABS June 2025 ERP release. Demographic density currently stands at 1,713 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across nationwide locations surveyed by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the 8.9% post-census growth rate recorded in the suburb of Hamersley sits within 0.6 percentage points of the 9.5% national mark, showcasing solid local momentum driven predominantly by overseas migration, which supplied approximately 70.0% of all incoming population gains in recent times.
Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) serve as the foundation for AreaSearch's SA2 figures, supplemented for uncovered localities and the period beyond 2032 by cohort-specific expansion metrics from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (benchmarked to 2022 data). Long-term demographic modelling for the suburb of Hamersley suggests a trajectory tracking slightly beneath the national median, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting an addition of 447 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 7.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Hamersley over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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
Examining ABS residential approval statistics aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that Hamersley averages roughly 13 residential property consents each year, totaling an estimated 67 dwellings approved throughout the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 24 authorized during FY-25 to date. Over this identical span between FY-21 and FY-25, an average intake of 3.9 new residents per constructed dwelling demonstrates that buyer demand continues to heavily outpace building supply, generating upward pressure on local real estate pricing. Construction activity emphasizes quality additions, with new dwellings recording an average expected construction cost of $514,000, marginally above regional figures.
In addition, $6.4 million in commercial development approvals has been registered during the current financial year, underscoring the predominant residential focus of the locality. Hamersley generates construction volume per capita at roughly 69% of the Greater Perth benchmark, sitting at the 59th percentile among assessed territories across the country, despite an acceleration in recent building activity. This below-national volume highlights an established suburban landscape with potential planning constraints. The mix of authorized construction features 87.0% standalone homes alongside 13.0% attached dwellings, preserving the traditional family-centric appeal for space-seeking buyers, while a ratio of around 235 people per approval points to an evolving property environment. Based on the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch, forward projections indicate Hamersley will add 420 residents up to 2041. While current dwelling construction proceeds at a reasonable alignment with these forward expectations, expanding resident numbers may intensify competition for prospective property purchasers.

3,055 residents of Hamersley are employed, from a labour force of 3,156. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 69.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,821, about 85% 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
Hamersley possesses a well-educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.2%, and 3.0% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,055 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.0% below Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, and workforce participation is broadly similar to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Based on Census responses, a low 9.8% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
Industry concentration is particularly pronounced in construction, where the resident employment share reaches 1.5 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 3.7% of the workforce, trailing the Greater Perth figure of 5.5%. A comparison between Census local worker counts and resident worker figures reflects the community's primary role as a residential enclave with limited internal employment hubs. Statistical analysis of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026 highlights a 3.0% rise in employed residents alongside a 3.2% increase in the total labour force, shifting the local unemployment rate upward by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the same timeline, employment climbed by 2.0%, the labour force grew by 2.5%, and unemployment moved up 0.4 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 indicate overall job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Extrapolating these national industry trends across Hamersley's specific worker distribution yields an estimated local job increase of 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, representing an illustrative weighted projection independent of localized population forecasts.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,209 at the 2021 Census → 5,670 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 (SAL50607). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
