Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Heathridge

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Heathridge has an estimated 7,794 residents, up from 6,898 at the 2021 Census — a change of 896 people, or 13.0%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 56.0% of that increase. That puts 2,051 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

According to AreaSearch's review of regional ABS updates alongside newly validated post-Census addresses, the suburb of Heathridge has an estimated population of approximately 7,794 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 896 people (13.0%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 6,898 people. That projection stems from an estimated resident count of 7,769 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 50 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 2,051 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.

Outperforming both the nationwide average of 9.5% and the wider SA3 region, the 13.0% expansion recorded since the 2021 census establishes the suburb of Heathridge as a regional pace-setter. The primary catalyst for demographic expansion has been overseas migration, accounting for roughly 56.00000000000001% of recent net additions. SA2-level forecasts released by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) underpin AreaSearch's demographic models, while unmapped SA2 localities and growth beyond 2032 apply cohort-specific trajectories from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (anchored to 2022). Looking toward future trends, the suburb of Heathridge is projected to record demographic growth slightly under the national median, gaining 637 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 projections to deliver an overall 7.8% gain over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Heathridge

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

141 new dwellings have been approved in Heathridge over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, broadly in line with 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

An evaluation of ABS residential approval figures by AreaSearch shows that approximately 28 new dwellings are permitted in Heathridge each year, totalling 141 approvals across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 27 recorded during FY-25 to date. Because around 6 new residents arrived for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction has lagged incoming demand, creating competitive buyer conditions and driving up real estate values. At the same time, an average construction value of $323,000 per dwelling sits below the broader regional standard, offering entry-level price points for home purchasers.

Non-residential development remains minimal, with commercial building approvals totalling $1.5 million this financial year, underscoring a dominant focus on housing. Per-capita building activity in Heathridge sits moderately higher than Greater Perth (20.0% above regional average over the 5 year period), supporting current real estate values while maintaining reasonable choice for purchasers. However, this pace trails nationwide levels, reflecting the established footprint of the neighborhood and potential zoning or land constraints. Detached single-family properties constitute 96.0% of new approvals compared to 4.0% for medium and high-density builds, preserving a low-density suburban atmosphere that attracts buyers looking for spacious properties. Approvals currently track at roughly 309 people per dwelling approval, leaving capacity for future development. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures, Heathridge is projected to add 612 residents by 2041. Ongoing building activity is well positioned to satisfy this influx, establishing balanced market conditions for purchasers and creating capacity for the locality to surpass projected population numbers.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Heathridge

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

4,443 residents of Heathridge are employed, from a labour force of 4,626. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 73.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 5,831, about 75% 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

Local workforce indicators highlight a skilled talent pool, particularly across building trades, accompanied by a 4.0% unemployment rate and 3.6% annual job expansion according to AreaSearch's statistical area figures. Employed locals numbered 4,443 as of March 2026, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.2% lower than the 4.2% figure across Greater Perth, alongside healthy labor engagement (73.8% relative to 69.9% for Greater Perth). Only 7.6% of residents indicated working remotely at the Census, though pandemic conditions during that period should be kept in mind. Employment is concentrated heavily across construction, health care & social assistance, alongside education & training.

The local labor force is exceptionally oriented toward building and trade industries, employing workers at 1.6 times the wider regional proportion. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for a modest 5.5% share locally versus 8.2% across the metropolitan area. The substantial gap between local working positions and total resident employees confirms that this predominantly residential suburb generates limited on-site employment opportunities. Combining SALM and ABS statistical data, AreaSearch recorded a 3.6% gain in employment and a 3.8% increase in the total workforce over the year to March 2026, which lifted local unemployment by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the identical timeframe, jobs expanded by 2.0%, the labor pool rose by 2.5%, and unemployment climbed by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking labor forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce requirements in Heathridge over five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, total positions are anticipated to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variation across individual fields. Weighting these projections against the area's existing job breakdown indicates an anticipated local employment uplift of 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (a basic baseline model for illustrative context that omits specific localized 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 — 50 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,898 at the 2021 Census → 7,794 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 (SAL50622). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Heathridge suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Heathridge page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Heathridge data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
