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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch incorporating ABS population updates across the wider region alongside 1,892 validated new addresses post-Census indicate that the suburb of Henley Brook has reached an estimated resident count of 5,858 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 3,358 people (134.3%) compared to the 2,500 people recorded in the 2021 Census, building on an estimated resident population of 5,526 established from the June 2025 ABS ERP release. With a density of 456 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Henley Brook maintains substantial open space alongside significant capacity for future residential expansion.
Outpacing both state figures and the national average (9.5%), the local growth rate of 134.3% since the 2021 census establishes the area as a regional growth leader. Inward interstate migration served as the principal demographic catalyst, generating approximately 70.0% of recent population gains, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Long-term demographic modelling for the suburb of Henley Brook applies ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), supplemented across unlisted SA2 areas and years past 2032 by age-cohort growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 using 2022 data. Forward-looking projections indicate exceptional expansion that places the suburb of Henley Brook within the upper 10 percent of regions nationally. By 2041, aggregated SA2 projections indicate an expected increase of 7,473 persons, culminating in an overall growth rate of 121.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,684 new dwellings have been approved in Henley Brook over the past five years, an average of 336 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 57 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 376 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 429, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that annual residential construction approvals in Henley Brook average around 336 dwellings, with 1,684 homes approved throughout the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 429 approved during FY-25 to date. Supply and demand remain well balanced, as evidenced by an influx rate of 1.6 new residents per approved dwelling annually over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). New residential builds carry an average expected construction cost of $391,000, while commercial building approvals totaling $5.4 million over the current financial year highlight the predominantly residential nature of the locality.
Per capita residential building approvals in Henley Brook outstrip Greater Perth by 744.0%, providing prospective purchasers with extensive options despite a recent moderation in building activity. This approval rate is also substantially higher than the national figure, underscoring pronounced developer appetite. Recent residential development is heavily weighted toward standalone houses at 97.0%, while attached dwellings make up 3.0%, reinforcing the low-density urban fabric tailored toward family-oriented accommodation. A metric of approximately 14 people per approved dwelling highlights the emerging development status of the area. Longer-term demographic projections indicate that Henley Brook is slated to add 7,141 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction is anticipated to satisfy incoming housing requirements comfortably, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population increases beyond existing forecasts.

3,979 residents of Henley Brook are employed, from a labour force of 4,181. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 92.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% 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 5,065, about 86% 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
Henley Brook maintains a balanced labour market covering blue-collar and white-collar roles, with pronounced representation across industrial and manufacturing fields. Statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch reveals an unemployment rate of 4.8% alongside a 15.5% expansion in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 3,979 residents are employed, the local unemployment rate sits 0.6% above the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth, and labour force participation reaches an exceptionally high 92.8% compared to 69.9% regionally. Working from home was recorded among 11.4% of employed residents at the Census, a figure that may reflect Covid-19 lockdown conditions.
The primary employment fields for the local workforce comprise construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Workforce concentration is particularly elevated in construction, where local representation stands at 1.2 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, health care & social assistance accounts for 10.0% of local workers relative to 14.8% across the broader region. An analysis of working population metrics against the local resident count indicates that many workers commute outside the area for employment, despite existing local job opportunities. According to ABS and SALM figures aggregated by AreaSearch, employment expanded by 15.5% and the labour force grew by 15.8% across the 12 months to March 2026, leading to a 0.2 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0%, labour supply growth of 2.5%, and an unemployment rate increase of 0.4 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 project nationwide employment gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When applied to the local industrial composition, these industry weights suggest local employment expansion of 5.8% over five years and 12.3% over ten years, representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized population changes.

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 — 1,892 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,500 at the 2021 Census → 5,858 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.
