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.

Sales Detail
Hilbert has an estimated 6,748 residents, up from 4,165 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,583 people, or 62.0%. Growth has averaged 11.3% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. 1,619 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 56.0% of that increase. That puts 734 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 evaluations combining ABS demographic updates for the wider region with newly confirmed addresses, the suburb of Hilbert records an estimated population of roughly 6,748 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,583 people (62.0%) compared to the 4,165 people enumerated in the 2021 Census. These figures stem from an estimated resident base of 6,502 established through ABS ERP figures (June 2025) alongside 1,619 validated new addresses post-Census. Consequently, population density stands at 734 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
Hilbert's 62.0% expansion since the 2021 census outstripped both state figures and the national average (9.5%), positioning it among the top growth locations regionally. Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating approximately 56.00000000000001% of aggregate population additions, while natural increase and overseas migration also delivered positive contributions. Projections utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia models for SA2 regions released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year), with age-bracket growth trajectories from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (leveraging 2022 data) applied to missing areas and periods beyond 2032. Looking ahead, the suburb of Hilbert is slated for above-median expansion relative to comparable statistical zones, with aggregate SA2 modelling projecting an addition of 1,466 persons to 2041, which corresponds to an overall increase of 18.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,413 new dwellings have been approved in Hilbert over the past five years, an average of 282 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 42 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 297 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 337, 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
AreaSearch metrics drawn from ABS building approval records indicate that Hilbert logs an average of roughly 282 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 1,413 approved dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 337 recorded during FY-25 to date. Over those same 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the influx averaged 1.8 people per year for every home constructed, reflecting balanced supply and demand dynamics that foster market stability. Furthermore, residential builds reflect an average expected construction cost of $367,000 in line with regional standards, while commercial development remains robust with $74.4 million in commercial approvals lodged throughout the current financial year.
On a per-person basis, Hilbert registers 423.0% more residential building approvals than Greater Perth, presenting extensive options for prospective purchasers and pointing to significant developer investment. Detached houses constitute 97.0% of recent construction while townhouses or apartments make up 3.0%, reinforcing a low-density suburban landscape oriented toward buyers pursuing standalone homes. Registering approximately 21 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays unmistakable hallmarks of an expanding development corridor. Demographic outlooks anticipate Hilbert expanding by 1,220 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction pipelines suggest that residential additions will comfortably satisfy incoming demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.

3,582 residents of Hilbert are employed, from a labour force of 3,859. Unemployment sits at 7.2%, with participation at 81.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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 5,594, about 83% 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
Hilbert features a capable workforce with pronounced representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 7.2% and annual employment growth estimated at 5.9% according to AreaSearch statistical area syntheses. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,582, accompanied by an unemployment rate 3.0% higher than the 4.2% benchmark in Greater Perth, while local labor participation reached an elevated 81.1% compared to 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census records indicate that merely 5.0% of workers performed their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time warrant consideration. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Transport, postal & warehousing exhibits noteworthy concentration, capturing an employment share 1.7 times the broader metropolitan standard. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, accounting for only 4.4% of the local workforce relative to 8.2% across Greater Perth. As highlighted by the divergence between Census working population and resident counts, this largely residential enclave offers limited on-site employment. According to AreaSearch syntheses of ABS and SALM figures across wider statistical regions, the 12 months to March 2026 saw employment climb by 5.9% while the labor pool expanded by 7.1%, lifting the unemployment rate by 1.1 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the equivalent interval, employment rose by 2.0%, the workforce grew by 2.5%, and unemployment shifted upward by 0.4 percentage points. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Hilbert. Across nationwide forecasts of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector-level performance varies considerably. Mapping these industry trajectories onto Hilbert's existing sectoral balance points to local employment increases of 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration rather than a localized population forecast).

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 — 1,619 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,165 at the 2021 Census → 6,748 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 (SAL50636). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
