Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining ABS regional population releases with 52 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date, the suburb of Hillarys has reached an estimated 12,149 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 949 people (8.5%) relative to the 11,200 people counted in the 2021 Census, building on an ERP estimate of 12,127 determined from ABS data released in June 2025. Demographic density stands at 1,925 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated across comparable locations. The suburb of Hillarys recorded an 8.5% post-census expansion rate, placing it within 1.0 percentage points of the 9.5% nationwide figure.
Net gains were heavily underpinned by overseas arrivals, which generated roughly 82.0% of the total demographic increase in recent reporting periods. Projections for the suburb of Hillarys utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 base year), supplemented by age-cohort trajectories from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 figures) for periods past 2032 or areas without direct coverage. Looking ahead, population growth in the suburb of Hillarys is anticipated to track slightly under the national median for statistical regions, gaining 766 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, which denotes an overall increase of 6.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
139 new dwellings have been approved in Hillarys over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 24 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 83% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 31, 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 ABS building approvals compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Hillarys registers roughly 27 residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 139 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 31 recorded to date in FY-25. The ratio of 4.6 new residents per year for each newly approved dwelling across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) highlights substantial supply constraints relative to buyer demand, generally fostering price growth and tighter market competition. Approved residential construction exhibits an average construction cost of $608,000, illustrating an emphasis by builders on high-end, premium developments.
Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $23.0 million this financial year, underscoring ongoing non-residential development. Per capita residential building approvals in Hillarys track at roughly three-quarters of the Greater Perth benchmark and place the suburb in the 36th percentile across the country, limiting new inventory options and directing purchaser demand toward established houses. This output sits below national figures, pointing to an established urban footprint alongside possible planning restrictions. Detached dwellings represent 83.0% of approvals, with townhouses or apartments accounting for 17.0%, reinforcing the low-density suburban landscape popular with buyers seeking larger allotments. The presence of roughly 422 people per dwelling approval reflects the mature profile of the locality. Long-term forecasts anticipate Hillarys expanding by 744 residents by 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction volumes appear well balanced against future housing requirements, supporting balanced property market conditions without severe price escalation.

Section 3 (Coastal Section North, 2.6 km) is now under construction and due for completion in mid-2026, completing the link from Ocean Reef Marina to Burns Beach along Ocean Reef Road.The fully state-funded $6.9 million project improves access to schools, beaches, marinas and parklands, and includes enhanced bike parking, wayfinding, pavement markings and safety upgrades at road intersections.
Harbour Rise
Harbour Rise is a long established coastal estate on the hillside overlooking Hillarys Boat Harbour, directly across from Sorrento and Hillarys beaches and a short walk from the Sorrento Quay cafes, restaurants and shops. The estate was originally masterplanned and delivered by Estates Development Company, the last remaining beachfront landholding from the company's 1948 northern Perth land purchase, and has progressively built out over several decades into a high amenity residential community with landscaped streets, parks and pedestrian links to the harbour.Vacant lots along streets such as Seaward Loop and Padbury Circle have continued to trade into 2025, with several under offer or recently sold, meaning the estate is in its final stages with a small number of new executive homes still being built or sold off the plan. The estate is supported by an active home owners association and a specified area rate covering its shared landscaping and amenity.

7,056 residents of Hillarys are employed, from a labour force of 7,170. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 70.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 local labor market in Hillarys is characterized by high education levels and strong participation in professional services, alongside a minimal jobless rate of 1.6% and estimated annual job growth of 3.8% based on regional data synthesized by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents reached 7,056, with the unemployment rate tracking 2.6% below the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth, while labor force engagement aligns closely with Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records show 14.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Primary employment sectors for residents consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
Notably, education & training exhibits a high concentration, holding a 1.3 times greater share of employment than the surrounding region. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing shows minimal representation, engaging just 2.6% of local workers compared to 4.7% throughout Greater Perth. An assessment of resident workers against jobs located within the suburb confirms that a substantial share of the workforce travels outside the locality for employment. SALM and ABS metrics aggregated by AreaSearch reveal that over the 12 months to March 2026, Hillarys registered a 3.8% increase in both total employment and the labor force, keeping unemployment virtually unchanged. By comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment expansion of 2.0% and labor force growth of 2.5%, alongside a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years across varied industry trajectories, applying these sectoral weightings to the occupational profile of Hillarys points to potential local job expansion of 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (representing a weighted benchmark that excludes specific demographic 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 — 52 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,200 at the 2021 Census → 12,149 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.
