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 municipal population data updates and validation of recent addresses by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Heathridge has an estimated 7,794 residents in May 2026. This represents a gain of 896 people (13.0%) from the 6,898 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The estimation is based on a resident count of 7,774 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP figures, combined with 50 newly confirmed addresses registered since the Census. Consequently, the suburb has a density of 2,051 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds typical figures across Australian locales evaluated by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Heathridge experienced a 13.0% expansion rate that outpaced the national benchmark of 9.3% and the broader SA3 region, positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. This expansion was largely underpinned by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 56.00000000000001% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are incorporated into these figures. For regions where this data is unavailable, or to calculate projections beyond 2032, growth rates by age bracket from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (utilizing 2022 data) are applied. Future demographic trends indicate that the suburb of Heathridge will grow at a rate slightly below the national median, with local projections indicating an increase of 643 residents by 2041, representing a total expansion of 8.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
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 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, 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
Analysis of building approval statistics shows that the suburb of Heathridge averages approximately 28 residential approvals annually. A total of 141 homes received approvals during the 5 fiscal years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 27 approved during FY-26. Given that 4.9 new residents were added for every completed home during the 5-year period between FY-21 and FY-25, new housing supply is lagging behind demographic demand. This imbalance typically intensifies buyer competition and drives upward pressure on prices. The typical value of approved new dwellings stands at $386,000, which is marginally higher than the regional average and points to a focus on higher-quality builds.
Additionally, commercial approvals registered at $1.5 million during the current financial year, representing a very low volume of commercial development. In comparison to the wider Greater Perth region, the suburb of Heathridge has a slightly higher rate of construction, tracking 23.0% above the regional per capita benchmark over the 5-year timeframe. This maintains options for buyers while supporting local property values, even though construction momentum has slowed recently. Detached houses comprised 95.0% of recent construction projects, while attached dwellings made up 5.0%, preserving the classic suburban feel and catering to families looking for space. The suburb averages approximately 336 residents for each residential approval, suggesting capacity for further building activity. Looking forward, the suburb of Heathridge is projected to add 623 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates. At current building rates, residential supply appears positioned to satisfy this demand, offering positive conditions for purchasers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces current projections.

Heathridge Park Redevelopment (includes Community Centre & Library Upgrade)
Redevelopment of the ageing Heathridge Park precinct, which includes the Heathridge Community Centre, library, clubrooms and sporting ovals used by more than 40 local sporting and community groups. In December 2024 the City of Joondalup Council endorsed a masterplan following community consultation on two concept design options carried out in mid-2024. The WA State Government has committed 2.5 million AUD in funding toward the project, but as of mid-2025 the City of Joondalup had not yet allocated matching funds in its Capital Works Program, leaving the redevelopment unfunded and without a confirmed construction timeline.
Joondalup Health Campus Development Stage 2
A major 307.9 million dollar expansion of Joondalup Health Campus jointly funded by the Western Australian State Government (149.9 million) and the Australian Government (158 million). Delivered by Multiplex over multiple stages, the project has already added a 102-bed mental health unit (opened August 2023), an expanded emergency department with a 12-bay influenza-like-illness unit, a Behavioural Assessment Urgent Care Clinic, six new coronary care beds, an expanded multi-storey car park with 215 additional bays, a new 106-bed public ward block (with 46 beds operational), one new public theatre and two new interventional cardiac catheter labs (opened June 2025).Two further shared public-private theatres opened in September 2025. The final stage involves fit-out of 60 additional public beds, supported by a 24 million dollar state budget allocation, scheduled for completion by mid-2026. A separate Ramsay-funded 190 million dollar Joondalup Private Hospital expansion was completed and opened to patients in early 2026, lifting bed numbers from 150 to 202 with six new operating theatres.

4,447 residents of Heathridge are employed, from a labour force of 4,629. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 74.5%. 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 5,830, 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
The suburb of Heathridge possesses a skilled labour pool, with construction workers representing a notable portion of the workforce. The local unemployment rate stands at 3.9%, and jobs grew by an estimated 3.6% over the preceding year. In March 2026, there were 4,447 employed locals. The local jobless rate sits 0.3% lower than the Greater Perth rate of 4.2%, while labor force participation is typical at 74.5% compared to 70.2% for the wider Perth metro area. Census records indicate that a modest 7.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The local workforce is highly specialized in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a smaller footprint, employing 5.5% of residents compared to 8.2% across the wider region. Because it is mostly residential, the suburb of Heathridge provides relatively few local jobs, as seen by comparing the count of working residents against the local working population. Based on SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region, the 12 months leading up to March 2026 saw local employment grow by 3.6% and the total labor force expand by 3.9%, which caused a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. Over the same period, Greater Perth recorded a 2.0% rise in employment and a 2.5% rise in the overall labor force, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point increase in its jobless rate. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment trends. Although nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sectoral trends to the local industry mix suggests that employment for residents of the suburb of Heathridge will rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, using a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific local 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 — 50 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 May 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.
