Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch, drawing on ABS regional updates and 259 validated new addresses registered following the Census, place the population of the suburb of Hamilton Hill at approximately 13,193 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 1,866 residents (16.5%) compared to the 11,327 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The calculation builds upon an estimated resident population of 13,081 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release alongside post-Census address additions. Density for the suburb of Hamilton Hill stands at 1,992 persons per square kilometer, outstripping nationwide benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both state figures and the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, the 16.5% post-2021 Census growth establishes the suburb of Hamilton Hill as a prominent regional growth centre. Net overseas arrivals served as the primary growth engine, accounting for roughly 72.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and interstate movements. Projections for the suburb of Hamilton Hill integrate ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 modelling published in 2024 using 2022 as a base, supplemented post-2032 and across unmapped SA2 localities by cohort trends from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (grounded in 2022 benchmarks). Future demographic outlooks indicate expansion surpassing national median rates, with the suburb of Hamilton Hill projected to add 2,485 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 forecasts, representing a cumulative increase of 18.0% across the 16 years.

6,938 residents of Hamilton Hill are employed, from a labour force of 7,462. Unemployment sits at 7.0%, with participation at 66.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% 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 10,678, about 81% 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
Labour force metrics compiled by AreaSearch show that Hamilton Hill features a skilled workforce with a strong presence in essential community services, alongside a 7.0% jobless rate. Total employed persons stood at 6,938 as of March 2026, while unemployment tracks 2.8% higher than the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth, and the participation rate registers slightly below metropolitan norms at 66.7% versus 69.9%. Remote work adoption was modest at 8.2% during the Census, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be factored into historical comparisons. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, as well as construction.
Health care & social assistance exhibits substantial industry concentration, engaging workers at 1.2 times the wider metropolitan proportion. Conversely, the mining sector accounts for only 5.2% of the local workforce, trailing the 7.0% share seen across Greater Perth. The community functions primarily as a commuter suburb, with resident-to-workplace ratios indicating a relatively modest volume of employment opportunities within the immediate locality. According to AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM statistical series, the 12 months to March 2026 saw the local labour pool contract by 0.9% alongside a 1.1% dip in employment, nudging the unemployment rate upward by 0.2 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Greater Perth experienced employment gains of 2.0% and labour supply growth of 2.5%, with unemployment rising by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking employment estimates published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 outline anticipated sectoral trajectories. Aligning these nationwide models—which forecast overall employment expansion of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—against the local occupational structure indicates prospective job increases of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years for Hamilton Hill residents (representing an illustrative weighting model that does not incorporate localised demographic shifts).

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 — 259 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,327 at the 2021 Census → 13,193 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 (SAL50609). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
