Joondanna has an estimated 6,066 residents, up from 5,283 at the 2021 Census — a change of 783 people, or 14.8%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 84% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 4,183 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 evaluation of regional ABS updates alongside validated new addresses, the suburb of Joondanna has an estimated population of 6,066 as of Aug 2026. This represents a rise of 783 people (14.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, when 5,283 people were counted. This figure is derived from an estimated resident count of 6,047 based on the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 31 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 4,183 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Joondanna sits in the top 10% nationwide for population density, underlining strong local land demand.
Outpacing both the wider SA3 territory and the national average (9.5%), the suburb of Joondanna recorded 14.8% growth since the 2021 census to emerge as a local growth standout. This demographic expansion was predominantly powered by net overseas migration, which made up approximately 72.0% of recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 region are drawn from ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline), while uncovered areas and trends after 2032 apply cohort growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (anchored on 2022 data). Looking forward, the suburb of Joondanna is anticipated to exceed the national median for growth, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an expansion of 901 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 14.5% gain over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
87 new dwellings have been approved in Joondanna over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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
AreaSearch's analysis of building permit figures shows Joondanna generating roughly 17 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 87 homes across the past 5 financial years, with 24 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the area recorded an average intake of 8.3 new residents per year per built home, creating a noticeable supply deficit that typically fuels competitive bidding and capital appreciation, alongside an average construction cost of $446,000 for new dwellings. In addition, $4.3 million in commercial approvals was registered during the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area.
Per capita residential approvals in Joondanna sit at roughly two-thirds the level observed across Greater Perth, placing the area in the 51st percentile nationwide despite an uptick in building activity lately. This sub-par national standing illustrates the established nature of the suburb alongside possible planning limitations. Detached houses constitute 71.0% of new residential development while townhouses and apartments account for 29.0%, preserving traditional suburban living geared toward households wanting spacious accommodations. Developers are constructing standalone houses at a higher proportion than the existing 43.0% Census baseline, reflecting robust appetite for family-oriented housing in spite of densification trends. The presence of approximately 284 people per dwelling approval demonstrates continuing development capacity. Long-term forecasts project Joondanna will welcome 882 residents by 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should construction continue at current paces, dwelling creation could trail population growth, thereby intensifying market competition and underpinning stronger property values.

City of Stirling Underground Power Program - Yokine and Surrounding Suburbs
Western Power, in partnership with the City of Stirling, is progressively converting overhead distribution powerlines to underground power across Yokine and surrounding suburbs in Perth's inner north. The works are delivered under Western Power's Targeted Underground Power Program (TUPP) and the earlier Network Renewal Undergrounding Program Pilot (NRUPP), both of which prioritise areas with a high density of ageing overhead assets approaching end of service life. Active project areas immediately adjoining Yokine include North Perth/Mount Hawthorn (Western Power Project 343, which extends into Joondanna and is due for completion towards the end of 2026) and the Osborne Park/Tuart Hill/Joondanna/Stirling TUPP project, which commenced construction in mid to late 2025.Further City of Stirling project areas covering parts of Inglewood, Tuart Hill and Balcatta are earmarked for later delivery, with construction commencement dates still to be confirmed. Typical scope per project area includes removal of timber poles and overhead conductor, installation of underground cable, ground mounted primary equipment sites housing transformers and switchgear, and replacement of existing streetlights with new energy efficient LED luminaires. Benefits include improved supply reliability and public safety, reduced network maintenance cost, greater capacity for rooftop solar and electric vehicle charging, cleaner streetscapes and unimpeded street tree canopy growth. Project costs are shared between the State Government, Western Power, the City of Stirling and property owners, with the State contribution tiered according to socio-economic indicators and residential connection charges invoiced by the City. Statewide, around 108,000 properties have been converted since 1996, with a further 29,000 properties targeted by 2027.

3,829 residents of Joondanna are employed, from a labour force of 3,949. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 76.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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 4,265, about 70% 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
Joondanna is characterised by a highly skilled labor pool, notable depth in professional services, a modest 3.0% unemployment rate, and estimated job expansion of 3.5% over the past twelve months per AreaSearch aggregated statistics. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 3,829, while unemployment sat 1.2% under the 4.2% recorded across Greater Perth, supported by an above-average participation rate of 76.2% against 69.9% regionally. Census records show just 9.4% of workers operating from home, though pandemic lockdowns should be kept in mind. Key sectors employing local residents comprise health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade.
The community displays notable concentration in professional & technical fields, where representation is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, manufacturing constitutes an under-represented segment, engaging just 3.5% of local workers versus 5.5% across Greater Perth. The heavily residential fabric translates to limited employment within the immediate area, as reflected in Census comparisons between local workers and resident labor. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 3.5% while labour force increased by 3.8%, resulting in unemployment rise by 0.2 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment growth of 2.0%, labour force growth of 2.5%, with unemployment rising 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Joondanna. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Joondanna's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,283 at the 2021 Census → 6,066 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.
